Six Yellow Cats

  As I was thinking of a topic for an online lesson, I came across a Spanish video I had made called “Seis Gatos Amarillos” (Six Yellow Cats). I couldn’t believe when I read that that I made the video twelve years ago. I know that a lot of people are interested in foreign languages,

Finish The Year Strong

  With warmer weather comes spring blossoms and rushed feelings to hurry with school. As the end of the homeschool year dawns on the horizon, we need to make every effort to finish the year strong—for children who are in typical 9 months/180 days and those who homeschool year-round.

7 Everyday Public Speaking Opportunities for Your Kids

  I recently came across a post from a mom looking for a debate group or public speaking class for her child. Of course, there are many great opportunities for speech and debate in the homeschooling world, including national organizations for homeschoolers. And these can be ideal for kids who are specifically headed toward a

Using Literature to Teach about World War One in Middle School

  Many of us use a curriculum to teach history, but using literature to teach history can be a great teaching tool. I am continuing this history literature series with some of the best books to teach about World War I.

Homeschool Socialization: How Games and Stories Improve Social Skills

  We all want our kids to grow up with good social skills. But sometimes the best way to increase these skills is not by hanging out with large groups of other kids. During winter, you may have fewer activities outside the home, or your homeschool co-ops and groups may have cancelled or postponed social

Hey Mama Monday: Embrace the Wiggly Learner, Mama

  Our youngest is now an active ten-year-old. He can’t sit still while doing book work. His body has to move. The chairs have to move (rock, shuffle, and fall over). The pencil has to fly. His body and hands and feet have to move. His mouth has to make noises. It can be exasperating
