Christian homeschooling integrating Classical and Charlotte Mason principles
I woke up not wanting to do anything but sleep in really late. Gary finally gets home tomorrow. And, believe me, he has much more reason to feel tired than I do. I am amazed at how God gives him such strength to endure the hours of jet lag every single month. And he dives […]
Even though this week was our spring break, I was originally planning to stick to our normal school routine. But then I realized that we really did need a “break” after all, especially since our first proof was this week. Memory Master has been a challenge for us this year, which is ironic because it […]
So, we did not do any of our normal history or science projects this week, nor did we do much in the Fine Arts realm. But during computer time, we visited: The New York Philharmonic Kid’s Site
Stephen started his World War II conflicts map (with overlays) and timeline from the Time Travelers World War II Unit Study… (He is as content as can be working on maps and timelines, ESPECIALLY when they have to do with WWII.)

We interrupted our normal math routine because I landed on a site called Three Jars (which is no longer an active website) to assist children in budgeting. And because we are trying to be more intentional about “living” math in our home, I seized the opportunity for the boys to once again count their coins. We selected their […]
We have finally closed out our official study of the Industrial Revolution through the Great Depression! Stephen finished his WWI Ammo Belt. We played the Route 66 History Facts Review Game. I was impressed with how much Stephen remembered. I was unimpressed with how much I forgot. And David really enjoyed playing, too. He loves the games […]
As we approach the last quarter of this school year, we will once again be studying the U.S. Presidents. Though this list is definitely not exhaustive, maybe it will be a starting point for anyone looking for something to do as they study the Presidents (or to celebrate Presidents Day!). Use this song to memorize […]
This week we finished up our timeline for Industrial Age through the Great Depression… And completed some activities on World War I from the same Project Pack. And finished up a turn-of-the-century fashion activity (which I primarily made because the boys wanted to see it). And played a game to practice vocabulary for Industrial Age […]
The sweetest Valentine gift I ever received was…. David Try as he might, Gary just can’t compete with this one! (Neither can I!) But.. I finally was able to come up with a creative way to show Gary how important he is to us (even if it can’t quite compete with the above blessing that was […]
