The Freedom of a Homeschool Schedule

Guess what? Grandma and Grandpa are here! And since we haven’t seen them in a little under two years we are making the most of it! Toss the books aside? No, no. We’ll just alter the schedule a bit.

Elections Unit Study for Multiple Ages

Picking up books at the library, the librarian is scanning all the selections I’ve reserved. She asks… “so are you a teacher, a homeschooler or a dedicated parent?” I answer to all of the above, don’t you? And I love our wonderfully helpful librarians. They share our passion for learning. Elections 2012 unit study by Amanda Bennett mixes and blends with our current Tapestry of

Hands On Geography for Multiple Ages

What we found out is that when you actually make a model of something you have to pay attention to its qualities. The details. The boundaries and borders. These hands on geography activities also help the child see the big picture. To think of the Creator. Sometimes, a hands on geography project helps children to fix a portion of the history timeline in their minds.

The last few weeks we’ve been heavily hands on in geography. What we found out is that when you actually make a model of something you have to pay attention to its qualities. The details. The boundaries and borders. These hands on geography activities also help the child see the big picture. To think of the Creator. Sometimes, a hands on geography project helps children

Would You Recommend Tapestry of Grace for Kindergarten?

I asked these ladies if I could share their questions so they might help others. I’ll start today with those questions about preschool and kindergarten ages.

10 Days of Lasagna Learning: Teaching Multiple Ages

If ever there was a week that was an example of homeschool lasagna learning, it was this. Lasagna learning being layers and levels of different ages, all together. The spices of learning all blending and complementing.

If ever there was a week that was an example of homeschool lasagna learning, it was this. Lasagna learning being layers and levels of different ages, all together. The spices of learning all blending and complementing. Take Columbus. I read this book from our Tapestry studies to the age range (pictured at top).

Homeschool Makeover: History Shelf

The Problem: Spending time searching for what we needed to start our history studies. History books scattered throughout the house. Supplemental material getting lost in my stacks. Answer: IKEA Expedit shelf! With two baskets for all those Tapestry of Grace extras (e.g., Map Aids and Writing Aids discs, Pop Quiz and more).

Tapestry of Grace for The Teacher

Last summer I hosted a Tapestry Tea in my home. Now that this school year is winding up this is the question I am getting… But I feel overwhelmed by Tapestry of Grace. How do I make it work? Never have we ever done all of the subjects each week. Tapestry is truly a smorgasbord. When I open that week plan, I zone in on

Homeschool Makeover: Flag Art Over Mantel

Many years ago we needed some art work for the family room. There was a big, empty spot over the mantel that needed just the perfect, happy, family-friendly piece. The flag was Nana’s suggestion.
