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...

Book Review The Rag Coat is a sweet story of a little girl growing up in the Appalachian mountains in a poor coal mining community.  Her father passed way from working in the mines, and they were not able to afford a coat for her so she wasn’t able to go to school.  The women of the community came together with a generous solution, which provided the warmth the little girl needed as well as some precious memories.  I may or may not have gulped and wiped away a couple of tears each time I read this book. While reading the book, I immediately thought...

We have gone well beyond the Five in a Row curriculum of 5 days of reading Madeline.  Clark and Luci LOVE this book, so we have just taken our own sweet time, and explored the entire series.  We went to the library and stocked up on Madeline books and DVDs.  Netflix had some Madeline movies, so we watched those, too!  We have had a ball incorporating the many different components into our homeschool day! For a portion of our Madeline Study, my parents were here to visit.  We had a wonderful time with them and even paused one afternoon for a (questionably French) chocolate fondue.  Who...

“In an old house in Paris that was covered with vinesLived twelve little girls in two straight linesIn two straight lines they broke their breadAnd brushed their teeth and went to bed.They left the house at half past nineIn two straight lines in rain or shine-The smallest one was Madeline.” Our next Five in a Row study is Madeline. I've been looking forward to this for a couple of weeks now because we have some fun activities planned! Book Review This is such a cute book. From the first few lines, the children were captivated with the story. It's the story...

Some Five in a Row books are a big hit with my children, and some are not. As much as I wanted it to be loved, I realized right away that Storm in the Night, that it was not going to be a hit.  There was very little action. My children described it as "a lot of boring talking."  Clark and Luci are, however, definitively interested in thunderstorms and weather, so we didn't want to miss the subject matter. I decided instead to focus this row on the book, Thunder Cake by Patricia Polacco, which we had gotten from the library as an add-on.  We've...
