A couple of years ago, I shared why I teach Latin in our homeschool. Since then, I’ve received many questions, comments, and emails inquiring as to how to teach Latin – how to get started, how to choose curriculum, and what the end game looks like. The biggest concern aside from why is: what to do …
When I share children’s books with learning ideas, they are often of the fiction or non-fiction variety. However today, I have a wonderful reference or resource-type book to share with you. Non-fiction, fiction, short stories, chapter books, poetry…they all are important to read! Today’s book, Daily Life at the Time of Jesus, is a non-fiction …
I know that many of you celebrate St. Patrick’s Day, so I was thrilled when my directed draw and write clip art packet included a set for St. Patrick’s Day! Yay for all of you! Directed Draw and Write continues to be one of the favorites types of downloads here at Mama’s. It is such …
In the past 11 homeschool years, I’ve taught elementary math 4 times. I feel like a pro! I have used various math programs for different children through the years, and they each have a unique way of approaching different concepts. I appreciate the different perspectives and feel like that makes me a better homeschool teacher. …
In Our Homeschool is (mostly) a weekly series here at Mama’s Learning Corner. I’ll write about what we’re learning, helpful homeschool ideas, field trips, or books we’re reading. I hope you enjoy! After we complete our morning Bible time together, my children and I get busy with our Latin studies. That looks different for each …
Are you studying the life of Saint Patrick with your children this year? If so, make sure you download these Saint Patrick Worksheets! Saint Patrick was a missionary to the people of Ireland, leaving a rich legacy. It’s fascinating to learn about St. Patrick teaching the Trinity using a shamrock as an object lesson! I’ve …
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 …
Several years ago, my children and I rowed through Warm as Wool by Scott Russell Sanders during our Five in a Row days. I loved Five in a Row and its gentle way of learning, especially if you have mostly young children. While my children seem to remember only a few of our activities (sadly!), the …
I originally wrote this post when my girls were 8, 6, and 5, so please keep that in mind as you read my recommendation! They are much older now, so this would only be appealing to my current 4th grader. It would be a very easy read for her. Today’s book – The Cool Story …
We finally had a bit of measurable snow here in North Carolina! Even though it was too wet and muddy to play in, it sure was beautiful. Like a few other topics, we tend to read about snow each and every year since we enjoy learning about it. And you can’t enjoy learning about snow …
Today’s book selection is one so dear to my heart. It is is nothing but sheer delight: Stopping By Woods on a Snowy Evening. A couple of years ago, my Daddy gave me this book for Christmas because he thought I would like it. How sweet is that? Even now, when he and I are talking …
