Homeschool

13 May

Clark and Luci have both been interested in caterpillars and butterflies for some time. One thing I have learned so far in our homeschool journey is that there is never a better time to learn more about something than when the kids are interested in it. I would also venture a guess that there probably isn't a better way to learn about how caterpillars become butterflies than to watch them grow in your home. We ordered the kit and caterpillars online from Insect Lore.  I do not intend to go very in-depth with this study, as we...

Math is not Clark's favorite subject.  It wasn't mine either, so I get it. It's always a bit of a struggle to stay focused.  Clark has a very creative brain and, like me, he needs a creative outlet.  Math is just the wrong side of the brain for that!  So in order for him to get engaged in his math lesson we've got to find ways incorporate creativity into the math. Simply put, we've got to learn how to have fun with math! The other day, our math lesson involved money.  Clark had been asking me if we could play...

Mondays are a killer for me.  I work full-time nights. That's 12 hours every Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Then I come home on Monday and try to manage my young children until my husband comes home from work. He will then take over so that I can sleep. Somehow I have to stay awake and functional until he gets home. So far, this is the only way we've figured out how to manage working full time and young children. A couple of years ago, we had an incident that convinced us that we did...

What greater way to finish up our study of jellyfish than a trip to the aquarium?!  We teamed up with a local homeschool group for a nice discount to visit an aquarium downtown. I had been hesitant to visit it because the price was a little crazy, but the homeschool group got an amazing deal and there was no way we were going to turn that down!   Aquarium Scavenger Hunt Before we went, I thought I'd get Clark and Luci a little more engaged by making up a little scavenger hunt for them.  You can download them HERE if...

I'm not too into flash cards, but on a little trip to the Dollar Store yesterday, Luci saw some labeled with "ABC" and got so excited about recognizing the letters that we couldn't resist buying them for her.  I also worry that sometimes I get so focused on Clark's education that she feels left out in the process. This time I got Clark involved and had him show her the cards, while she named the letter and sound.  If she wasn't sure, Clark would help her out.  It was adorable.  Clark got bored quickly, but it was a great interaction.  I...
