World Geography Resources

Welcome to our on-line teaching resources for World Geography (specifically, Europe, Asia, and Africa)! I call this a link “buffet.” It is not intended that all of these resources be used. It is simply a convenient place to find information, videos, activities, and worksheets by history topic. As is all our lists of links, this […]

Tri-cornered Multiplication Fact Cards through 15s

So… here are our triangular multiplication flashcards for drilling multiplication facts through the 15s. These cards emphasize drilling […]

Smithsonian Tree Banding Project

I’m in awe of the trees again… It seems like I’m always chasing butterflies across the field, or marveling as a mockingbird sings its unpredictable song, or hopping out of the car (when we’re already kind-of-sort-of running late) to take a photo of a spiderweb glistening with morning dew… Today I happened upon a chrysalis forming in […]

As we travel across West Virginia, three boys are loudly singing “Take Me Home Country Roads” by John Denver (at the top of their lungs), the rain is pelting our windshield so hard that it sounds like a helicopter is about to take off right there in our car, and… I’m trying to shout over […]

A 15-Day Itinerary through Mid-Eastern States

For those who asked for our crazy schedule… We visited the nation’s capital and 8 of the mid-eastern states in 15 days.  Due to the age of our children, we did not spend as much time in some places (such as Washington, DC) and hope to return for a more in-depth look when they are […]

Latin Conjugation Match-Up Game

Here we wanted to share a simple file folder game for practicing and reviewing Latin conjugation endings. But first, I wanted to share a fun resource that teaches vocabulary through Latin and Greek Word Roots and provides a fantastic foundation for future Latin and Greek study: The Word Up! Vocab Show! And if you’re seeking […]

Pronoun Match-Up File Folder Game

A simple file folder game for practicing and reviewing pronouns.  Add the cards to the game as you progress through memorization of the pronoun table.  For advanced students, cover the “Test” part of the table. This can also be printed on card stock, hole-punched, and inserted into the notebook (instead of in a file folder). […]
