Turning “I Spy” into a Geography Lesson

Building & Playing with Letters

A few months ago my 3 year old asked me to teach him how to read. I was stunned. I wasnt ready to teach him to read, but he was and is eager to learn. The kid loves books- loves to look at the pictures and loves to sit in anyone's lap to hear the story. He sees his sister starting to read and he naturally wants to as well.

Patience and Preschoolers

Patience and Preschoolers. Kinds seems ironic, as if the two do not belong together. Patience is a virtue, and I constantly define it to my preschooler as "waiting well." The Good Lord knows how much He has been working on me and the fruit of patience. I think He gave me my son to help grow this fruit in all of us, lol!

Preschool: Learning to Say Sorry

“The question is not, -- how much does the youth know? when he has finished his education -- but how much does he care? and about how many orders of things does he care? In fact, how large is the room in which he finds his feet set? and, therefore, how full is the life he has before him?”― Charlotte Mason, School Education: Developing A Curriculum As I homeschool my children, I have to...

Homeschool: Incorporating Spanish in the Early Years

“What shall we teach our children? Is there one subject that claims our attention more than another?  Yes, there is a subject or class of subjects which has an imperative moral claim upon us.  It is the duty of the nation to maintain relations of brotherly kindness with other nations: therefore it is the duty of every family, as an integral part of...

Lessons From Anansi

It's our last week with out Fables & Folktales box from Experience Early Learning, and I am really sad about it! We had so much fun learning through stories from Aesop, like The Crow and the Pitcher and The Ants and the Grasshopper, and ventured with Paul Bunyan as we learned about American Tall Tales. This week we have been exploring international folktales, and some of my kids most...
