Backyard Tea Time

  It’s finally summer, and with warm, sunny days comes lots of backyard memories in the making. My kiddos create a bucket list every summer of activities or adventures they want to do, with a few added in from mom and dad. One bucket list item was added early in the year, a backyard tea

Spring Fever – The Homeschool Way

  I know I am not alone in wishing a winter a satisfying goodbye. It’s not that winter here in the Midwest has been very violent this year…it’s just been maudlin and unpredictable. And wet. Very wet. I am more than anxious for the first bloom of spring. The sunny breezy days and the increase

Culturing for Science Class: Kombucha & the Fungi Kingdom

  In science, my children have been studying taxonomy recently. We read about the Animal, Plant, and Protista Kingdoms.  As we reached the Fungi Kingdom, we learned that fungi do not ingest their food like animals do or make their own food, like plants, but absorb nutrients from their environment through their bodies.  They do

Slime, Putty, Sensory Play… Oh My

  Did you know on March 6 Silly Putty was invented in 1950?! The rest is history. Now we have slime, putty, gack, goop, so many sensory wonders; it’s truly a love-hate relationship.

Outdoor Play & Family Field Days

  Spring is finally here and with that comes ample opportunities to enjoy a few homeschool sunshine days. Sometimes, we use our time outside as a break from our school day; however, we appreciate learning outside too. Since my children are in vast age groups, I have to be creative in choosing lessons and activities
