Homeschool

Do you struggle with balance?  Balance in your life, balance in your relationships, balance in your health and fitness?  How about in your career?  Your finances?  Your faith?  Even your time off? I struggle with this.  Maybe it is because of my personality…  I tend to be all or nothing in many areas of my life.  Black or white.  Hot or cold.  Yes or no.  It is  very easy for me to get distracted from all areas of my life when one area catches my attention.  Kind of like the dog from the movie “Up.” SQUIRREL! When I get excited about something, it tends to become my entire...

For our next Five in a Row study, we decided to read Miss Rumphius, by Barbara Cooney just as the bluebonnets were blooming here in Texas.  Based on the cover of the book, it seemed the perfect time. This is the story of a young girl who follows in her grandfather’s footsteps, travelling the world and living a full life.  When the time comes, she decides to settle down by the sea.  From her little house on a bluff, she find a way to make the world a little more beautiful. How have I never heard of this book before Five in a...

Did anybody catch a glimpse of the Super-Star on June 30th? For us homeschoolers, this is a teaching moment; a simple lesson in astronomy. According to astronomers, the planets Venus and Jupiter passed so dramatically close to each other in the sky that they appeared to the naked eye to be one celestial body, or as a “Super-Star.”  Some have even theorized that this is the “Star of Bethlehem” that was seen over 2000 years ago on the night of Jesus’ birth.  Apparently these two planets, the two brightest objects in the sky (besides the Sun and Moon, of course), have not...

We’ve been studying the children’s book, Miss Rumphius as part of our Five in a Row Curriculum.  Let me just say that if you have not read this to your children yet, get down to the library and get it.  It is an absolute treasure. Our favorite part of each row is the art portion.  With each new book we discover new mediums, new ideas, new concepts. The children (and I) love this part, and the chance for exploring art with Miss Rumphius was no different. The FIAR guidebook suggested several different angles, so we chose a couple of them.  The first was...

At this time of the year, there is always a lot of discussion whether to continue to homeschool throughout the summer.  We started to homeschool Clark one year ago, just as he was graduating from his little preschool.  We thought we would work through the summer, see how it went and make a more permanent decision before school started in September. Needless to say, we were convinced in the first month and we have never looked back. Do We Homeschool Through the Summer? Or Not? Now as we approach our first official summer, we sat down to discuss whether we would continue to...

As part of our Five in a Row curriculum, we have been studying the book, Miss Rumphius.  It is such a sweet book about a woman who lived a full and wonderful life, and in the end wanted to do something to make the world a more beautiful place.  She did this by planting lupines.  Everywhere.  I loved this because I love lupines! Of course, this story led to the study of plants, seeds and gardening, and a yearly refresh for last year's fairy garden.  It’s pretty awesome when you can incorporate your daily activities into your learning so seamlessly! Last Year's Fairy...
