It is with much sadness that I am sharing my last review for the Schoolhouse Review Crew and its extraordinarily fitting that it is The Conversation by Leigh A. Bortins. I was also assigned to write this intro post to this wonderful book :). It was hard to write the post without gushing all over […] Read more…
EASY & Fun Science for Ages 4-13 {Schoolhouse Review Crew}
My kids love science. They love Magic School House books and Cat in the Hat’s science books and any opportunity for hands-on science experiments/projects (usually NOT from mom :D). When the opportunity to review Science Unit Studies For Homeschoolers and Teachers from Funtastic Unit Studies was offered and I was researching it, I knew the kids would love it. […] Read more…
Ancient Egypt {Schoolhouse Review Crew}
My oldest daughter LOVES history. She is a people person through and through and because history is the study of people and how they lived and what they did, she is all. over. it. Seriously. So all over it, that when we had the opportunity to review the (NEW!) Project Passport World History Study: Ancient Egypt from Home […] Read more…
The Homeschooling Life Online Planner You Didn’t Know You Needed {Schoolhouse Review Crew}
I am (was?) a fly-by homeschool planner. At the beginning of the year, I look at the curriculum I want to get through, figure out if I need to do it daily or once a week to get through it all and then do it. Usually there is more time than material and so I […] Read more…
CTC Math {Schoolhouse Review Crew}
I am a huge fan of low or no prep curriculum. I have a third grade, a k4 and a two year old. In the summer, life is good. All three will play in the backyard quite a lot and I can do a little work without being interrupted. During the 7-8 months of too […] Read more…
WordBuildOnline {Schoolhouse Review Crew}
I am only one person. It’s really hard to be a teacher and a mother of three little people all at the same time. When the review crew offered the opportunity to test WordBuildOnline, an online vocabulary program from Dynamic Literacy, I jumped at it! Last school year, I dropped our vocabulary workbook because I […] Read more…
Online Piano Lessons for Beginners {Schoolhouse Review Crew}
I’ve tossed around putting my children in piano lessons for a long time. I used to play a musical instrument, but everywhere I go people say to wait until 7 before enrolling them in things — piano, dance, etc. The opportunity to review Easy Piano Basics from JazzEdge came at just the right time — she […] Read more…
S is for Smiling Sunrise {Schoolhouse Review Crew}
I am one of those mom’s who is all about multitasking. Not necessarily doing multiple things at once, but doing ONE thing that has multiple benefits. That’s why I LOVE reading! It’s educational, conversational, family snuggle time. S is for Smiling Sunrise is one of those books that we can all curl up with together and […] Read more…
First Start Reading – A Phonics Program from Memoria Press {Schoolhouse Review Crew}
So when the opportunity for reviewing some items from Memoria Press came up, I was pretty excited. We are a fairly classical family and I’m even working on beefing up my own classical education. You know, the one I never got in school :). Anyway, we ended up receiving a copy of MP’s program for phonics, […] Read more…
Homeschool Mother’s Journal {5 Days of Real Life Homechool}
And to end this week, I thought I would partake in the Homeschool Mother’s Journal and {pretty, happy, funny, real}. After all, we are being REAL here in this five day series of Real Life Homeschooling. While the first 4 posts were written and scheduled last week, this one is not. In my life this […] Read more…
