Skip Counting Charts from 2 through 15 Printable (Updated)

Oct172018

* file updated 10/17/18 Our skip counting charts have been in our classroom over the years in one way or another, either as posters for our morning board routine, or more recently we have printed them out postcard size (four to a page) and on a jump ring for handy reference.

Helpful Guide for Choosing Homeschool Literature for K-12

Oct152018

At a homeschool convention a few years ago, I sat in on several sessions by Adam Andrews from Center for Lit. After pouring for quite some time over their resources, one of the books that made it into my bag was Reading Roadmaps: a Literary Scope & Sequence for K-12.

Once we returned home from those adventures, the days/weeks were full of recovering from our travels, swim team, and the girls' work schedules. That and a whole bunch of rain. And more rain. We'd been complaining that we hadn't camped nearly as much, … [Continue reading...]

We just returned from a weekend camping trip and I so wish it could have been a little longer. The weather was amazingly gorgeous (there has been SO MUCH RAIN this summer) and we really couldn't have asked for a better weekend. And honestly, it was a much needed time together as a family.
