Review: Moon Phases Puzzle
Yesterday I received the most beautiful, wooden phases of the moon puzzle in the mail. It is just gorgeous y’all. I’m almost done with our shelf work prep for the solar system, then I’ll share a peek at our two science shelves this month. In the meantime, we can’t keep our hands off of…
June Math Shelves
In order to keep tabs on what the kids are working on month to month in a more organized manner, I’m going to start a new series of monthly posts that give a sneak peak into our classroom shelf work. June 2017 Mike’s “Math 1” shelf (for my four-year-old, optional extra review work for my…
Camp Boggy Creek Summer 2017
Happy to say that this little punk was selected for Camp Boggy Creek Summer Camp: Heart Week for a second year in a row. Camp Boggy Creek is a Summer Camp for kids with special needs.

Homeschool Strings Orchestra Recital
The girls participated in the homeschool strings orchestra this year. They are still learning to read music, but they were so proud to be a part of the group. They even were awarded ribbons for practicing. Here’s one song from their Spring recital performance.

My Overambitious Science / Cultural Lesson Plan
Because I am insane, but mostly because there is just so much cultural work I want to cover, I have made a monthly lesson plan that extends to a year from now. It covers a lot of ground — a heck of a lot of information quickly. So instead of expecting mastery this year, I will…
Pin It Maps: Land and Water Forms Review
Pin It Maps are seriously cool. We ordered the Land and Water forms set for my beginner readers, ages 6 and 8; my goodness, the pin map has quickly become a favorite activity. There is some assembly involved — but there’s no need to be intimidated. I roped in my sweet hubby to help me tape the…
New in Town
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…
