Here’s a super simple craft for your young ones.  It’s a great way to help learn the Letter A, as well as the differences between a capital or lower case Letter A.  It’s a little labor-intensive with the scissors, but very doable.  We have been reading the book, How to Bake an Apple Pie and See the World, and this little craft made for an enjoyable afternoon together.  Or actually it took a couple of afternoons, because it’s no easy to cut out all those apples! We found these cute apples to cut out at Confessions of a Homeschooler.  They just happened to be...

We’ve been reading the book, How to Bake an Apple Pie and See the World as part of our Five in a Row homeschooling curriculum. In the book, a young girl decides to bake an apple pie but finds that the market is closed. So she travels the world, collecting all of the necessary ingredients for her apple pie. When we first read this book, the 6 different countries that the girl traveled to quickly became a little overwhelming for Clark and Luci. Since my children are very hands-on learners, I decided to make our geography into a hands-on adventure. I created a couple of...

I love this cute, simple little craft because it was completely Clark’s idea. One afternoon, Clark had finished all of his homeschool work and was looking for something to do.  One of the things I absolutely love about Clark and Luci is that they are the most brilliant, creative little beings.  They don’t know the meaning of boredom because they always find creative ways to occupy their time. On this afternoon, Clark came to me and asked me to help him develop an idea he had in his head.  He wanted to create Rapunzel’s tower with a window for Rapunzel to look out....

After taking some time off from Five in a Row, we are back, studying The Glorious Flight by Alice and Martin Provensen.  I chose this book because Clark has been asking some very specific questions recently about airplanes and how they fly.  So I thought this would provide a great opportunity to take him in the direction of his interest. The Glorious Flight tells the story about Louis Bleriot who, with great persistence and passion, built a flying machine to become one of the first to fly across a large body of water, the English Channel. Social Studies  We began our study of The Glorious Flight by talking about human...

“Mommy when are we going to get a pumpkin to carve?” We are walking through the grocery store, past the massive display of pumpkins and the inevitable question comes.  Clark had been hounding me for weeks and I had put it off as long as I was able.  I was going to have to carve a pumpkin.  Now, I know that there are some folks who love this sort of thing (and to those people, I say: “Where on earth are you when I need you?!”), but I’m not one of them. In fact, there are few things in life that...
