Just like studying apples, we study the life of Early American Johnny Appleseed each September as well! Biographies are such a neat way to introduce different science or history topics to my children. In this case, learning about Johnny Appleseed’s life is a neat segue to studying apples and how they grow. Because this is …
John Chapman, more commonly known as Johnny Appleseed, was a unique man in many ways. His greatest desire was to spread the beauty and love of the apple throughout our great country. Some considered him crazy because of his methods, while others considered him heroic. Johnny Appleseed was really an interesting soul. He was an …
I am so happy to be back with another video this week! If you’ve been following along with me on You Tube the past few weeks, you know that I post a new video at the beginning of each week, 3 to 4 times a month. This past week, I co-hosted a family reunion and …
I’ve mentioned a couple of times on Facebook this week that my children and I study apples every single September. Why? Well, mostly because it is one of my favorite unit studies, if truth be told! 
We love to have apple taste tests, we try to visit an orchard and pick a few apples, …
This week is going to be insanely busy for me. My husband and I are co-hosting a family reunion with 30+ people (which means I have to buy groceries for the event AND clean my house-eek!), we have extra music lessons, and we need to homeschool 2 full days. Whew! It’s going to be c-r-a-z-y! If …

Despite changing curriculum in a few subjects over our past 6 years of homeschooling, there are certain subjects where we found the perfect curriculum fit the first time. Don’t you love it when that happens?! All About Spelling (affiliate link) was one of those staple curricula that we fell in perfect alignment with from the get …
Are you a You Tube fan? I sure am. You can find anything there! Since I started Mama’s Learning Corner back in June 2011, I’ve only recorded a handful of videos. My biggest trouble was that I couldn’t find user-friendly (read: simple) video editing software. But woo hoo! I was able to find software for …
As a homeschool mama, I find several things pretty challenging about the actual homeschool day. If I’ve ever made it seem like homeschooling is a breeze for us, it was just a miscommunication because some aspects of this life are just tough! I never want you to think that I have it all together, because …
It’s been many months since I posted the first set of sight word puzzle cards using the Pre-Primer Dolch word list. My girls have matched them a million times over! So it is long past time to post the Dolch Primer word set! My first grader is turning into quite the reader, but she still …
My first grader and I have spent a lot of time understanding and practicing number bonds this past week. She’s still getting the concept down pat! In addition to the hands-on activities we use, I made a few number bond worksheets for her to practice her skills. Number Bond Worksheets: Sums to 6 There are …
