I had had plans to start rowing with FIAR, Volume 1, but as this week approached, I kept thinking of this book.  I fondly remembered it from my childhood.  My father used to read us Beatrix Potter's books as bedtime stories.  Being as there are little rabbits running around our yard right now, and since it is gardening season here, I decided to go straight tol Volume 2 and start by rowing The Tale of Peter Rabbit. Book Review The Tale of Peter Rabbit is the time-honored story of a mischievous rabbit who's entire goal in life was to get into Mr. McGregor's garden....

Today we are finishing up our Five in a Row study of Night of the Moonjellies with a focus on jellyfish.  Much of the information suggested in the Five in a Row workbook was above Clark and Luci’s heads, so we kept it simple.  I would like to return to some subjects later on, when there is time and interest, such as the concept of owning a small business. How to Create a Simple Aquatic Biome Since the children’s focus was definitively on jellyfish and other aquatic animals, I decided to pursue this subject with them and create a simple aquatic biome out of...

Clark and Luci both went to Mother's Day Out today.  That gives me a few hours to catch up on sleep, clean and get organized. I had promised them some Goldfish crackers as an after-school snack, but I was actually planning on getting some Five in a Row math done at the same time!  Today we did our activities first and read our book, Night of the Moonjellies last. First, Clark and Luci had some leftover candies that they had to feed to their little puppy and bunny. Math Luci’s first math activity was to sort out the correct number of goldfish...

We have been on vacation in Florida for the past couple of  weeks with family.  We drove the 18 hours there and back but broke the trip on the way back by stay for a day in Destin.  For years I'd heard how beautiful the beaches of Destin were, and now I understand the hype!  It has the most beautiful beaches I have ever seen in the United States! Even though it was pretty chilly, and the water downright cold, we couldn’t drag the kids away from the sand and beach.  We spent some of our time at a State Park, which...

After some research and study, I am planning for the curriculum, Five in a Row (FIAR) for our homeschool. I'm hoping that this curriculum will work well for the first few years of our homeschooling experience.  FIAR immediately captured my attention because of this quote: “The goal of our instruction is to lead children to fall in love with good books and to embrace the joy of learning.”Five in a Row I grew up with a love of books and a love for reading.  Throughout my life, I have seen the benefits of this, and I would love to see it in my...
