Homeschool Workboxes: Reorganization By Subject

In the last weeks of school we realized something. Our homeschool room organization was off. Well, not only had we not kept up with the paper overflow but we realized we’d outgrown the current system. See, we still use workboxes with the younger three children. And a few here and there for the older two for specific purposes, like art supplies. Make Workboxes Work For

Alphaphonics and More Learn-to-Read Resources

Today, I’m sharing a quick photo collage of our Vacation Bible School week. But I’m also at The Curriculum Choice with a review of one of the longest-used resources in our homeschool. Alphaphonics was there to help each of our children learn to read. Our youngest, at four and a half, has been doing a lesson or so here and there. That’s because he’s started

Homeschool Makeover Series and Celebrating Summer

I’ve been sharing the stages of our homeschool makeover over the last months. Summer is the best time for assessing and reworking homeschool spaces, I think. Today, my helpful homeschool tip to share…Decorating and displaying the frugal way! Each year we contribute many entries in our state fair. Art pieces, flowers, baked goods, photographs. With five children, that makes for quite a few entries. Well,

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).

Help for the Homeschool Mama

As part of this weekly wrap up I’m sharing help for the homeschool mama. One help? We were on a semi-spring break this week. All I required was math and then let the rest just happen. We did some sprucing up in the yard and had some fun pulling out the plastic swimming pool (it was warm enough!). One went to a birthday party at

Homeschool Makeover: Maps as Window Treatments

In our homeschool, I sometimes feel like geography is one of those things we need to work on more in our studies. Yes, we enjoy hands on geography and mapping activities to compliment our history studies. But, I also found a simple solution for emphasizing geography. A practical and beautiful solution. Plus it’s a visual we can’t miss. Continuing the homeschool makeover series. Join me

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). Yes, on another trip to IKEA, we got a 4×2 shelf with a
