We’ve been learning about dinosaurs for the past couple of weeks. We went on a field trip to visit a local nature preserve that had a display of animatronic, life-sized dinosaurs, which needless to say completely captivated the imagination of my children and we’ve been discussing these animals ever since! How cool are these? I mean, I was kind of fascinated, too! These dinosaurs moved, glared at you, roared, and even sprayed venom (maybe it was just water, but the kids were pretty sure it was poisonous) at us. We even had the opportunity to climb on them and check out their teeth! How...

There is one thing I’ve learned from homeschooling: If you don’t make holidays and celebrations into a really big deal, then your kids are going to miss out. This is especially true in my case, being a Canadian, transplanted into the United States. I was actually a little surprised to learn that I had very little understanding of many of the holidays. The great part is, as a Homeschooler, I get to learn with my children! Today we are using the opportunity to learn about President's Day, while sharing some activities and resources for homeschool. Starting with the Basics President’s Day is...

Kids never get tired of building, do they?  As I was going to bed last night, I tripped over an elaborate arrangement of blankets, toys and chairs in the hallway, which was apparently a gnome village of some sort.  As I peeked into Clark’s room, I see his room completely draped in more sheets and blankets.  I didn’t even dare to go in.  So I go to bed, deeply disturbed about the probable condition of my linen cabinet. I feel like I am constantly navigating construction, circuits, and forts. I find this sort of thing around the house all the time....

How about something a little different and a little more creative than the grocery store Valentine’s Day cards? Since we homeschool, we thankfully don’t have the need to do 101 Valentine’s Day cards, but this year, I thought it would be fun to send out something fun to the Grandparents, at least, just letting them know that we are thinking about them and that we love them. I originally saw this idea on Teachers Pay Teachers, but I love anything digital, so I modified things accordingly.  The end result is a beautiful, brilliantly colored picture to send to your loved ones. Step 1 Take...

Ever since we first discovered them, Clark and Luci have loooooved peg dolls. The only way I know to explain the obsession is to equate them to those old Fischer Price characters from the 1970s. I know – I’m dating myself. But do you remember them? They really were, in essence, peg dolls – they had no arms, no legs and I’m not sure that I ever even noticed! I loved them! I remember playing with them for hours. Well now, you can not only make your own peg dolls, but you can make your own peg doll nativity set! The Children Wanted...

We’ve been reading the book, How to Make an Apple Pie and see the World as part of our homeschool curriculum. Of course, learning about apples was a logical part of this study, but when I told Clark and Luci that we were going to learn about, their response was: “What?! We already KNOW about apples!” Well, surprise, surprise, they still had lots to learn! One of Luci’s favorite projects during our apple unit study was a little puzzle that I made for her. Luci loves puzzles, so if there’s ever an opportunity to do a puzzle, she’s fully engaged. From the time she...
