Homeschool

We have been fascinated for the past several weeks as we’ve watched a very special bald eagle family from Hanover, Pennsylvania, build their nest in preparation for their new family. This is our second year, witnessing the birth of a new bald eagle family and we are in love! Catch the Live Feed The Pennsylvania Game Commission has partnered with HDonTap to provide us with a live feed so that we can enjoy watching the eagles’ activities day and night, using night vision! I can’t think of a better way to get the children engaged and learning about the habits of these awesome birds than by watching them...

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...

We have been reading Mike Mulligan and his Steam Shovel, as part of our Five in a Row (FIAR) curriculum. This is a classic children’s book, written in 1939. It is about a man who takes his well-loved steam shovel, Mary Anne, on an adventure to show that they are just as good – or better than all of the new gas, electric and diesel shovels. Of course, we read the book several times, but Clark and Luci enjoyed watching the movie for one of the days. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KZtXtbZn5f0 Community Helpers and Transportation The story of Mike Mulligan and his Steam Shovel includes a lot of community helpers. Many of...

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....

We’ve been studying the classic children’s book, Mike Mulligan and his Steam Shovel as part of our Five in a Row homeschool curriculum. This is the story about Mike Mulligan, who, along with his beloved steam shovel, Mary Ann, finds himself caught in a changing world. In fact, the book was written in 1939, around the time when steam shovels were being replaced with diesel engines, which were cheaper and simpler to use. Learning How a Steam Shovel Works Clark was immediately fascinated by the steam shovel in the story and wanted to know exactly how it worked. We learned that the first, crude steam...
