A Whole Year of FUN Spelling Practice for Homeschoolers!
I just added a WHOLE YEAR of monthly themed spelling word practice activities for homeschoolers to my TeachersPayTeachers store. Many years ago, when we first started homeschooling, I quickly learned that spelling practice was not a favorite activity for my girls. It did not seem to help them to just copy the words over and… Continue reading A Whole Year of FUN Spelling Practice for Homeschoolers!

How I am planning Guest Hollow’s World Geography & Cultures for 8th grade
Although I consider myself an eclectic homeschooler, I have serious Charlotte Mason leanings toward using real books. I feel like it seriously limits the scope of understanding to limit the learning to just one resource, such as one textbook.

Homeschool shopping Pinterest board
I started a Pinterest board with all of my favorite homeschool classroom items! Now, I did not go out and buy all of these at once. We have been homeschooling for ten years, so these treasures have been accumulated over that time. I will say that I am a snob when it comes to school… Continue reading Homeschool shopping Pinterest board

Creating Additions to the Kingdoms and Classification Science Unit from The Good and the Beautiful
Prior to homeschooling, I was a middle and high school science teacher. Creating my own "stuff" to go along with science lessons is just what I do. I came up with a few additions to go along with the science unit we just started, Kingdoms and Classification by The Good and the Beautiful. The unit… Continue reading Creating Additions to the Kingdoms and Classification Science Unit from The Good and the Beautiful
