This week, my children and I started studying about Ancient Rome. We are in Year 1, Week 28 of our Tapestry of Grace curriculum, and this is our second time through the Year 1 cycle. Side Note: Sadly, we are not going to finish Ancient Rome before our school year is over, so we will …
Hi Friends! I’m finally back with Part 2 of my Read Aloud video series. → Make sure you don’t miss Part 1: Tips and Ideas for Children’s Read Alouds! As I mention in this week’s video, I might even do a part 3 since so many of you have emailed with comments and questions. Reading …

We’re working (and working…and working…) on learning multiplication facts here at the Hill House. I’ve brainstormed quite a bit and created several new multiplication worksheets and activities to help my 3rd grader work on memorizing these facts. But I’ll readily admit it is s-l-o-w going. These multiplication wheels will hopefully be a neat change of …
Word searches are always a hit here at the Hill House! I usually keep a stack of them lying on my school table. They’re the perfect thing for a child to grab and work on (quietly!!) while they’re waiting for a turn with me. Since Easter is upon us, this set of word searches focuses …
