5th Grade Mid-Year Homeschool Curriculum Review

Feb12016

Last week I shared our 3rd Grade Mid-Year Review, and today I'd love to share what our 5th grader has been up to. Pretty much everything we had in our initial homeschool curriculum choices has been wonderful, but we have tweaked (or held off) on a few things - and I thought you all might like to see what Zachary is enjoying the most as well! One of the main focuses for Zachary this year was … [Continue reading...]

3rd Grade Mid-Year Homeschool Curriculum Review

Jan282016

We’re at the halfway point in our homeschool time, and even a few day beyond. Even though it’s technically a little closer to the middle of January, our Christmas break provided more of a chance to sit down and look at how each child is progressing and see if there are any changes we needed to make to what we are using. Overall, we’ve been really happy with our homeschool curriculum choices, but … [Continue reading...]

Our area was dumped on with snow the last few days and area schools are likely to be closed for days. Unfortunately (for our kids), homeschool is ON! They will definitely have to enjoy the snow while we have it, so perhaps a bit of a lighter schedule so they can … [Continue reading...]

Maple Syrup Snow Candy Recipe (Wax on Snow)

Jan232016

Well then. The past few days we managed to get a whole heap of snow. And by a heap, I mean pushing the 2 foot mark. We’ve done all the typical obligatory snow activities: snow angels, snow forts, snowball fights, shoveling (that last one may not be the biggest hit, but hey).
