I have a brand new set of printable coloring pages for you to add to your stash! This set of Forest Animals Coloring Pages is a perfect addition to your forest animals or temperate forest unit study. This set is in the mini-book style that my girls loved so much when they were in the …
I am so excited to share this packet of Leap Year 2024 Coloring Pages with you today! My children and I have not talked much about Leap Year and why we add February 29th to the calendar every 4 years, so I wanted to put together a mini unit study for them. This unit study …
Groundhog Day is right around the corner! Do you and your kids look to see if Punxsutawney Phil sees his shadow on February 2nd? While we make mention of Groundhog Day in our home, we don’t do a big unit study on groundhogs – although that would be fun! Whether you do a big unit …
Many years ago when my four big kids were all little, we studied pumpkins each year. It never grew old to us! We chose the best pumpkins from the patch, studied the pumpkin life cycle, germinated pumpkin seeds in a cup, and read a plethora of pumpkin books. I am so blessed that I am …
One of the many books my son and I enjoyed during his Kindergarten year included A Tree is Nice by Janice May Udry. It was included in his Kindergarten curriculum last year, and we have read it many times since! I find the simplicity of this book to be its most charming feature. But do …

Plants and flowers are a favorite topic that we study year after year in our homeschool. There are some themes that just never grow old!

This Life Cycle of a Snowflake Booklet packet was originally published back in 2016. It was in dire need of an update, so I have freshened the fonts and layout a bit. Please re-download this newest version if you haven’t already. Except for the pictures, I left the original post from 2016 completely intact below : …
Even though we are using a formal textbook-style curriculum this year, I’m not super rigid in completing all of the book. Part of the freedom of homeschool is not having to complete all the parts of any curriculum. I can choose what is the best fit for my children, and then leave the rest. It’s …
My girls and I are studying bees this spring – what a fun unit study! We started off with Patricia Polacco’s The Bee Tree and our learning has grown from there. In addition to learning about hives and the role of bees in pollination, we’re also learning about the life cycle of a bee. So …
I have another fascinating book to share with you today: Sea Clocks: The Story of Longitude. For many years, my children and I used the Tapestry of Grace curriculum. While it can be a bit difficult to wrap your brain around, Tapestry offers a wide selection of books for grades K through 12th. Most of …
