Homeschool

We’ve been reading Harold and the Purple Crayon.  In the beginning of the book Harold draws a crescent moon to light up the night as he goes for a walk.  This began our interest in the moon, which has led to an interest in the solar system.  This is how rabbit trails happen in the Five in a Row curriculum, and I love it.  As the children show an interest in a subject, we explore it, learning as we go. So far we’ve learned about the phases of the moon, which I blogged about HERE. As I searched for information and ideas,...

We have been reading Harold and the Purple Crayon as part of our Five in a Row curriculum.  In this book, Harold goes on an adventure in the middle of the night with his purple crayon, drawing whatever and wherever his imagination leads.  In the very beginning, he realized he needed light and so he drew a moon to light his way. As part of the science component, we decided to learn a little bit about the moon.  When I told this to Clark, he scoffed at me, saying: “What?!  Why would we learn about the moon?!  All it does is give off light!”  Clearly, we can benefit from some education!    From what I...

We have just started to read Harold and the Purple Crayon as part of our Five in a Row curriculum.  I love to start our new studies off with a celebratory bang!  Clark and Luci actually had the idea of having a picnic of just pies, just like Harold did in the story.  It ended up raining on our picnic day, but that didn’t stop us from making tons of pies for dinner! What better way to have a happy Pi{e} Day?! Happy Pi{e} Day! Best part?  The date is March 14th – 3.14!  Pi{e} Day!  Gotta love a great coincidence! As usual, I think these kids came...

Despite being in the middle of winter, here, we started rowing our Five in a Row book, Very Last First Time on a day in January when the temperature was 75 degrees!  Clark and Luci have been longing for snow, so I thought this book would be a great start.  Or at least we can pretend! Book Review This story is about a young Inuit girl, Eva, who goes alone under the ice to hunt mussels on the sea floor.  She is very excited about the adventure but loses track of time.  She is then faced with the fear of not getting out from...

Winter has finally hit us in Texas!  Temperatures had been quite warm here, rarely dipping into “coat weather.”  Contrary to all logic, I actually found myself complaining that we hadn’t even had a winter yet!  I mean, is that a PROBLEM?!  I typically hate winter, but when I say that, I’m really referring to the unending winters of my younger days in Canada.  Winter here in Texas seems to consist of a day or two of ice and if we have any luck, some snow – or even better, sticky snow! The cold weather came at the perfect time for us because...

Clark and Luci love painting.  So how do I make it even more special and exciting?  Add a little glitter, of course!  While working on our art project today, we added a couple of extra ingredients to create glittering, crystallized watercolor paints.  Everything’s better with glitter, right? Well, unless you’re the one who’s cleaning it up. We found a super-easy way to make watercolor paints crystallize and shine in the light!  This is so cool and so simple!  There’s no need to go out and buy anything – we made it with ingredients from around the house! Here’s what you will need: 1 tablespoon of Epsom...
