Get ’em while they’re hot. My US currency three part card printable is available for free through the rest of January! I also made some easy mixed operation equations for solving problems with money. They’re free right now too. Download them both at our [severely neglected] Teachers Pay Teachers shop: US Currency Three Part Cards…
I have been a big fan of Timberdoodle for years now. To the uninitiated, Timberdoodle is a small family business that offers curated curriculum choices both secular and religious. They tend to offer very unique and hands-on materials. We’ve reviewed a few here. Usually I just supplement our school days, road trips and many hospital…
Here’s a quick video of basic algebra presented at the elementary level using cards and beads. Pretty cool work. Mary mastered it pretty easily. I wish I’d learned math hands on this way! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=51OAJ8R8cAQ&feature=youtu.be
I know I skipped over a couple week-in-review posts. In my absence, I have blissfully read books for pleasure and binge-watched all of The Handmaid’s Tale. Also my sister got married, I was a matron of honor planning and assisting many-a-thing, and the kids were flower girls, and… little handfuls. In the upcoming week, we…
The girls performed in a Christmas concert with their homeschool string orchestra this week. They’ve been practicing a ton; we’re so proud! The first two clips below have both girls playing violin, and the third video is the extra piece that just Josie’s group learned. We are so blessed to participate in such a wonderful…

Halloween and Disney continued to throw our October routine off, so we’ve adapted school time. I thought I’d give a few snapshots of what…
Rocked the past two weeks like a homeschool ninja.
Lots of review this week. We tried some creative reading and handwriting ideas, and for grammar, we used Goldilocks felt pieces to introduce the adverb. But before we get to that… Pencil sharpening is practical life work, but I thought I’d sneak it in our Language post since it deals with writing. I found little…
I have a friend who doesn’t seem to take our homeschool seriously. When I speak of prepping the classroom or practicing presentations, or when I say we are too busy for playdates, I often get the impression that she thinks we’re just “playing school.” After all, we named our homeschool, have uniforms, our classroom is…
Well hey there you hot, young thing. I’m talking to my blog. It’s new, you see. After being asked many times over the past year if I blog, where I can be followed, and also annoying my FB friends to death with pictures of my children doing Montessori school work — sorry y’all — I’ve…
