On the Farm Preschool Unity Study

9/8/2014

Munchkin, our preschooler, loves animals of all kinds, but her favourites are definitely farm animals!  (She is a true farm girl!)  She is also my only child who really loves doing book work and work sheets.  When the other two were preschool age, we mostly played and if they learned something, great, if not, that was okay.  Also, if we did not do any school, it was not a big deal because they were not ready for it anyway.  Munchkin is completely different!  She wants to do school every day, all the time!  She is quick to tell me when her work box is empty and ask if I can give her more school work to do!  So, we started a new unit study on animals, consisting mostly of things I can find to keep her busy while I am working with her brother and sister.

Home Grown & Home Made - Raspberries

Raspberries: Home Grown & Home Made from Dot-to-Dot Connections
I mentioned in my strawberry post that strawberries are one of my favourite fruits, but one I like even better is raspberries!  I would quite happily eat all our raspberries fresh and forget about finding recipes to use them in!  But I did my best to curb my desire to eat them all fresh and found some other things to do with them with the kids.

Homeschool Geography - Asia: It's People and History

2/25/2014

Well, here it is folks!  I have been leaving comments all over blog-land about this wonderful book I have been reviewing - Asia: It's People and History.  Now, I can finally give you my full review :)

To start off with, I have a confession.  I love geography and history!  I don't remember being quite so found of these subjects in school, but then again, when I was in school, I was taught very little geography.  I think my love for geography began when I was in Bible college.  I spent a good part of my Bible college years learning about missions and even thought for awhile that God was going to send me overseas somewhere as a missionary.

Munchkin is learning how to skip count!  She has started skip counting by 2's, and with some fun, hands-on games and printables, she did not take very long to get it figured out!  To introduce her to skip counting we watched the DVD that came with her Math-U-See Primer curriculum and sang the Skip Counting By 2 song on Math-U-See's Skip Count cd.

Earlier this month I told you that we are reading through the Little House series in our homeschool.  We have now finished reading Little House in the Big Woods by Laura Ingalls Wilder.  While I read, the kids worked on our Little House lapbook binder.  As I show you what we did, I will link to where you can find the same printables that we used.  Just click on the purple words and it will take you to my Pinterest pins.

Review: November Planning Pack for Children

10/23/2013

This November Planning Pack for Children is the first in a series of 12 packs that will be coming out over the next year from Multi-Tasking Mom.  It is geared for grades K-5, but can be adapted for younger and older as needed.  It has a Thanksgiving theme, which worked out nicely for me to review it in October, since our Canadian Thanksgiving is a month earlier than Thanksgiving in the United States, which is where this Planning Pack is published :)

My favourite printable in this pack is the Prayer List.  We have a family prayer list, which everyone in our home contributes to, but when I gave the Prayer List to Princess, she was thrilled at the idea of having her own prayer list!  I wish I had thought to let her make her own prayer list sooner!
