Homeschool

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...

There are a few things I have refused to allow into my home.  A wretched TV show about a sponge is at the top of my list, an annoying kid named Caillou, and right under that, in big capital letters has always been LEGO. I HATE LEGO.  I grew up in a busy household full of children and enough Lego to sink a ship.  There was Lego, Lego everywhere.  It didn’t matter how many times the kids were asked to clean it up, there was always a piece of Lego somewhere, waiting for me to step on it.  In fact, I am quite certain that...

We love Five in a Row: Harold and the Purple Crayon!  This book is an absolute creative delight – and in this house, we love anything creative!  Book Review This is the story of a cute little, bald-headed baby boy who, instead of going to sleep, decides to go for a walk in the moonlight.  Little Harold creates his own adventures using only his purple crayon and a huge imagination. I loved this book on many different levels.  I initially wondered why this very simple book was assigned to Volume 2 of the Five in a Row workbook and not the first Volume. But, as...

Clark and Luci are developing a fascination with the Solar System.  It’s been our whole focus this week as we read books, stayed up late to get a good glimpse of the moon, drew and colored the planets and anything else we can find that is Solar System related! Stick around for a beginner's guide to the solar system! A Solar System Panorama We started out with our favorite, enormous strip of paper, stretching through the entire entrance to our home.  For Clark and Luci, the bigger it is, the better! Then with a few library books on hand, with all of us on the...

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...
