My 4 year old is a busy bee trying to recognize letter sounds consistently. At this age, I spend a bulk of my “school time” with him using hands-on activities with the occasional pencil activity thrown in there. We are very loosely following Memoria Press’ Jr. Kindergarten curriculum. I’ve been very pleased with it, but the …
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 …
I can’t begin to count the sets of number cards I’ve made out of index cards in the past 3 years. It’s been many. I’m sure I’ve written numbers 1 through 100 at least two dozen times for various and sundry math games, drills, and hands-on activities. So it finally dawned on me: Make a …
My little man – currently 4 1/2 – is such a joy to teach. He is not the type that wants to sit in a chair and hold a pencil (oh the complaining!), but he does enjoy learning. He’s one of those kiddos that I have to sneak in learning in whatever activity we are …

As you and your kiddos also enjoy the month of September, make sure you download this 2-page set of Color By Number worksheets to add to your September learning …
Through my 11+ years of homeschooling, I’ve used a variety of Bible curriculum. From dot-to-dot worksheets with a Bible story in the very early days to just reading verse-by-verse, I have used quite a few methods to teach my children the Bible and the doctrine of our Christian Faith. Even when we had terribly difficult …
In our homeschool, I don’t start a formal writing or composition curriculum until at least 4th or 5th grade. Aside from doing the composition exercises in Rod and Staff English, my main focus of those years is writing solid sentences and paragraphs. Some of my children picked up writing very easily, and others have definitely …
I have one more packet of Directed Draw and Write Worksheets to share with y’all, and this set has a lovely Patriotic theme! We will celebrate America’s 245th birthday in just a few days, so we are thinking about All Things U.S.A. here at the Hill House! We are having a family shindig on the …
One of my main homeschool objectives in the elementary years is exposure. Sure, there are a few subjects that require mastery – math, grammar, Latin – but history, science, and geography are mostly exposure in our homeschool during the younger years. We used Story of the World for awhile as our main spine in Tapestry …
My children have always loved A to Z books – the ones that list a different word or concept for each letter of the alphabet. So I thought it would be neat to have one resource for all of the A to Z book I could find! With my other book lists, I make sure …
I am so excited to share this U.S. Symbols Fact Pack Copywork set with you! I published the first set of Fact Pack Copywork sets a year ago, and I realized I haven’t added to it IN A YEAR! That’s no good because I have several sets almost finished, so I will try to publish …
