We’re studying world geography and wanted to share a little something I made for Stephen (but mainly me, ahem) to give him (or rather, me) a different method of practicing the countries and capitals of Europe. He hasn’t wanted to use Seterra or Quizlet to practice, and drawing and labeling are tough to do when you’re […]

The science journals consist of blank copy paper stapled together with cardstock covers. For me, when drawing from a specimen, it can be difficult to know where to start. When I contemplated ways to help other […]

Our homeschool has certainly shifted this year as we focus more on science. The boys are enjoying making observations, which leads to questions, which leads to experiments, which leads to more observations and conclusions.
