Good news! I've been working on some new free stuff! It will be a little easier now that I have a laptop and do not have to rely only on my desk top. The desk top works fine, but after the kids are in bed for the night I prefer to be in the room with them for the most part. We all...
Science Guy has been very obsessed with snakes lately. It's been non stop snake talk around here. He wants one as a pet and has added 10 of them to his online cart. 10! I'm putting this to good use and creating some snake themed activities for him to do. Since we are on skip counting at the moment, what better way than...
I posted the other day on the excitement of Nugget and his workbook. The excitement has not worn off! He would do the whole book at one sitting. I'm not use to that (more on that in an upcoming post). So i've had to help him pace out the pages....to about 6 a day! working on some pages concentrating ...

Nugget was very upset that Science guy had a schoolbook and he didn't! So, we went out and got this today! I'm not really into workbooks for very young kids (he's 3 if you didn't know) and rather do hands on practice, but he really wanted it! If he does well with it and continues to ask for workbook work i'll get him...
Not everything is learned at a desk or kitchen table. Sometimes the best things are learned at random! Like when you see the guys fixing the road in front of your house! ...
We are about to start book 3 of the SPRP. Lei is reading both 1 and 2 with ease and a good speed. I'm just going to show you how I introduce sight words and phonics with each book. Book 3 marks the end of the first set of books. There are 4 sets in Stage 1 of the program. Each set includes...
Lei is 6 and starting to read, so when a friend of mine suggested I use this program with Lei I didn't think twice. She used it with her boys and her boys read well and read a lot! The first box in this 5 step program is Step 1. Inside the box are 4 packages. In each package is a workbook, 3...

Hey people! Looks like I have some future NBA super stars on my hands. We got this basketball court absolutely free from a friend of my brothers. The boys are loving it. They pick teams and everything. Right now Michael Jordan, Dwayne Wade, and Lebron James...better known as Lee Brown James... are the names they talk about most. Pretty amazing how much they...
Leijah was 6 in April. He's my oldest and because of this he's my little testing buddy. At least when in came to homeschooling. When he was 3 my husband and I searched around for the perfect preschool to enroll him in. Nowhere seemed like the "right" place for my little pride and joy. This is how we discovered homeschooling! We went out...
I've been cloth diapering since Lathan was a baby, and he is 3 now! I started with a few Bum Genius, a couple thirsties and quite a bit of the dappi pull on covers with prefolds. Luna uses a few of those same diapers and, of course, her girly ones i ordered on ebay. My washing routine has changed throughout the years, but...
This homeschool year (2012/13) we've been using the MCP plaid phonics workbook. Since L1 was 5...he turns 6 in April....I purchased Book A which is on a Grade 1 level. The first few pages focus on letter and sound review. Since L1 pretty much knows all his letters and their sounds we skipped most of these sections. The rest of the book focuses...
