Homeschool

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...

Clark has been struggling with remembering which numbers are odd and which numbers are even.  I get it – I couldn’t remember at his age either.  It seemed like a rather random designation to me.  Our brains are the same.  I know he needs a creative link to make the connection permanent, so we came up with a creative way to remember even and odd numbers. Isn’t that just another awesome thing about homeschool, by the way?  We know our kids!  We know what they need and what they’ll respond to. So we went to the library and took out several books on...

As part of the science component in our study of the book Very Last First Time, we decided to look at some of the properties of salt water.  Our first experiment was to look at how evaporation would separate salt water. Salt Water Evaporation Experiment This super simple salt water evaporation experiment is a very basic experiment, but I wanted to introduce the Scientific Method right from the beginning.  We started very basically; I figured it was probably age-appropriate to cut out the research step.  I did a short search but didn’t come up with exactly what I was looking for, so I created my own form:  “My...

We are reading Very Last First Time for our Five in a Row study. The story takes place in an Inuit village in northern Canada. As we read the story Clark and Luci became fascinated with igloos and wanted to build one. This tends to very difficult when you live in Texas and the temperatures are a ridiculously warm 75° in January! So, very logically, we decided that we would figure out how to build an igloo with marshmallows.  I didn’t get much objection from Clark and Luci either. What You’ll Need: I suggest using whatever is around your...

We are currently reading the book Very Last First Time for our Five in a Row curriculum.  The story is about an Inuit girl who faces an incredible challenge alone for the first time.  The story takes place in Ungava Bay, Canada, so we have been learning about Northern Canada.  Clark and Luci have been especially interested in the Inuit people and their culture.  As we have learned about it, we found an Inuit girl craft with coffee filters that looked like it would be fun to make. What You’ll Need Clark noticed that in practically all of the pictures and videos that we...
