Hi everyone! I have some fun Teeny Tot workbox ideas to share with you today. What is in our boxes this week? Big Buttons from Oriental Trading Number Tracing sheet with star stickers Pattern Block Activity Pack from Learning Resources Geoboard and rubber bands Letter A Tracing worksheet and dry-erase marker   Number Tracing: You can either use with pencil/crayon etc, or laminate and use with dry-erase. We chose to put stickers along each number just for fun. This kid has some serious focus when she’s doing schoolwork.   She had fun with the lacing buttons today. First she made herself a necklace, then proceeded to create the most knotted bunch of buttons I think I’ve ever seen.   She really likes the Geoboard. She made shapes using colored rubber bands. Then she took them all off and did straight lines, then filled the board.   She also did an uppercase/lowercase Letter A matching game from my Letter of the Week … [Read more...]

All About Spelling Giveaway!

IMG_3705.jpg

Hi everyone! I know I just released my 2012 Curriculum Update and in it I mentioned that we were still loving All About Learning. It’s been a consistent favorite of mine for almost 2 years now! I know you all love it too, so I have a special treat for you today!   In honor of last week and Valentine’s day, I wanted to share a little love with you all! So….drum roll please…I’m hosting a very SPECIAL giveaway for All About Learning today! But before we move on, I wanted to clear a few things up! In my curriculum post I noted that I was using All About Spelling, All About Reading, and Abeka worksheets. I’ve since received several emails asking if I thought I needed to supplement. Just for the record, NO! I do not think AAS & AAR need any type of supplement! I simply have Tinkerbell working on the Abeka worksheets because I had them already and I just have a thing about wasting curriculum! Plus I figure it can’t do any harm to do a little extra work … [Read more...]

Ephesians 3:1-13 ~ Week 5

Ephesians.jpg

Hi everyone! I hope you are all doing well and being blessed by our Ephesians study! I just wanted to encourage you all to keep up the good work! I can't believe we're already done with week 5! Time flies! But it’s been a huge blessing to me to spend this time in the Word and with all of you in the Facebook Discussion Group! In thinking about this week, I can’t help but notice how humble Paul was. He refers to himself as the “least of all the saints”. I mean just think about where he’s come from. All the way from getting saved on that road on his way to persecute Christians, to imprisonment for his fervent faith. What a turn around, and what a great example for our lives as well. I’m sure many of you have great testimonies of what God has done in your lives! I've been so abundantly blessed by all that God has done in my life, but yet somehow it's easy to forget and get discouraged in the daily grind. I think about where Paul came from, and what he's endured for his … [Read more...]

Ephesians 2:11-22 ~ Week 4

Ephesians.jpg

Hi everyone wow, can you believe we’re already through 4 weeks of our GMG Ephesians study! You know, I had a crazy week over here! Between a massive snow storm and some very sick kiddos and 1 sick husband, I fell a little behind in my reading. I kept thinking to myself “why am I feeling so crazy? Everything is total chaos, what is going on!” Finally it dawned on me that between taking care of everyone, making sure we had enough supplies if we got snowed in, getting people to doctors, giving medicine on time, yada yada, that I didn’t do my daily reading for a couple days! I decided that even in the midst the chaos I needed to make time for God even if I didn’t feel like I had any to give. And you know what happened? Ephesians 2:13-15 ~ But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ. Christ Our Peace for He Himself is our peace, who has made both one, and has broken down the middle wall of separation, having abolished in His … [Read more...]

World’s Greatest Artists: Monet

IMG_5405.jpg

Welcome to our World’s Greatest Artists study on Claude Monet! We are having so much fun with these units this year, the kids have been really getting into it and they’re doing a great job! Claude Monet was born in Paris, France on November 14,1840. He is known as the founder of French Impressionist painting. Claude’s painting titled Impression-Sunrise, is what gave the Impressionist movement its name.  Characteristics of impressionism include small, thin brushstrokes, open composition and an emphasis on accurate depiction of light in its changing qualities. Monet typically worked on large canvases painting mostly natural landscapes, although he sometimes included human figures in his paintings. He was very particular about his paintings and was known to refuse to paint unless the light of the sun was reflecting exactly as he wanted it to.   If you haven’t seen the previous posts, this year for art we are studying 8 different world famous artists. We have … [Read more...]
