During our school day, I have a dedicated amount of time carved out for my littlest people (3 years old and 20 months). We read books, play puzzles together, do the occasional File Folder Game, and dig through their ABC box during their allocated “Pre-K Fun Time” each school morning. I found that if my …
The concept of Notebooking is very new to me this school year. While I had heard of the method, I had my doubts that it would be a good fit for our homeschool. My son detests the physical act of writing, so why in the world would I torture the poor boy with even more …
I find this homeschooling thing to be such a wild ride (is it just me?!). During May, I was counting the days until the end of school. Now? I can hardly wait for it to start again! I am genuinely excited to start our new school year. This is our third year homeschooling and it …
If you’re like me, there are those favorite homeschool items you just can’t live without. Well, I can live without them but I definitely don’t want to homeschool without them. These things make my life easier as a homeschooling mother and make school more fun for my little people. Here are my top 10 favorite …
I’m always on the lookout for new blogs and websites that can help me become a better homeschooling mother. Some of those sites provide me with curriculum ideas, some with printables, and some with good encouragement for this (at times) weary Mama. I’d love to share my favorite top 10 sites related to all things …
Earlier this week, I shared that my oldest son has gotten his feet wet with Notebooking. It’s been such a hit so far! I also shared that I was very nervous about starting something so new. And involved. I was intimidated to say the least. We had a pretty good homeschool routine going on, so …
I mentioned on the Mama’s Facebook Page that we were starting something new-to-us this week: Notebooking! Notebooking and Our Homeschool I will admit that I’ve been reluctant to start Notebooking for one main reason: my oldest (7yo) is not a fan of the physical act of writing. While I push him to write a little …
Our homeschool starts each day with a devoted Bible time. On most days, we use Bible Study Guide for All Ages, yet occasionally I’ll write my own Bible study for the week. But the one aspect of Bible time I haven’t been successful at? Memorizing Scripture. I always have great intentions: I plan the verse …
By far, my favorite resource for our homeschool this year is All About Spelling. I wasn’t pleased at all with our Kindergarten choice of curriculum, so I was determined to pull together the ‘perfect’ curriculum for first grade. While some of our choices have worked out beautifully, others have bombed! As to be expected, I …
My children and I use Tapestry of Grace for our history curriculum. We’re currently in Year 1, Unit 3. (Just as a reminder, I have an almost 7-year-old, just turned 5-year-old, almost 3-year old and the baby who is 15 months.) Honestly? I’ve struggled to keep up with history this year. I just couldn’t figure …
What We’re Reading is a weekly series here at Mama’s Learning Corner. Each Monday, I post a few of the books my children and I will read together during the week. I hope you’ll discover some new-to-you books to share with your family. Since we celebrate George Washington’s Birthday next week, I thought some interesting …
