Fall Festival Pumpkin Patch

Uncategorized  family / Field Trips

We’d planned on going to the pumpkin patch for our Letter P week, unfortunately weather (snow) made this impossible, so we finally went this weekend. Actually its a whole harvest festival thing and we were so tired by the time we got done that we didn’t even get pumpkins! LOL!…

Paint Chip Phonics

Homeschool  Kindergarten / Phonics / Workboxes

I found a great idea on The Snail’s Tail. She really does a good job of explaining it on her site, but I’ll try to do it here too. The idea is to practice the consonants, blends, digraphs and common word families. I have to admit I was a tad…

Final Letter C Day

Homeschool  Letter C / PreK / Workboxes

We did our Very Hungry Caterpillar Game and book today. It was a huge hit. As I read the story she laced her pieces on. My 2nd grader filled out the graph just for fun and helped her sister find the correct pieces. You can download the Hungry Caterpillar lacing…

Color Mixing and Math Lesson

Art / Homeschool  Math

We did a color mixing project today. I got the idea from The Pioneer Woman’s homeschooling blog. I provided them with Blue, Red and Yellow water, and then gave them ‘recipe’ cards to work from. Just because I don’t trust my kids with that large a quantity of water, I…

Prek Letter B

Prek Letter B
Alphabet / Homeschool  Letter B / PreK / Workboxes

Hi everyone! Welcome to the Letter B! Naturally after finishing with caterpillars last week, butterflies just seemed the right way to go. I did go a little overboard with this, so brace yourself! Letter B Memory Verse: Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved. Acts 16:31…

File Folder Fun

Homeschool  2nd Grade / File Folder Fun / Kindergarten / Workboxes

I’d made these file folder games awhile back and forgot about them! Just remembered and put them in boxes. I like this idea because its more like playing a game than working! This one is a beginning sounds game, I don’t remember which book I got it from, but this…

Letter C work in action

Homeschool  Letter C / PreK / Workboxes

Day 3 of our Letter C submersion class and its going well. I asked her today and she has no clue what letter she’s working on…seriously? We even sing the song everyday “The C says “Ka” the C says “Ka” every letter makes a sound the C says “Ka”! I’m…

Pom-pom Caterpillar Craft

Art / Homeschool

To go along with our Letter C stuff, we made pom-pom caterpillars today. I used a large popsicle stick as the base, then just glued pom-poms to it, added eyes, antennae and don’t forget the flare! And voila:

Solar System Model and Colored Pencil Blending

Art / Homeschool  Science

We did an art lesson from I Can Do All Things today on colored pencil blending. I have to say this was one of the lessons that seemed like a good idea, but then didn’t go so well. Maybe it is the brand of our colored pencils, but they didn’t…
