NaturExplorers Review-Fruits and Nuts by Cindy West and Melissa Leach
I may have mentioned a time or two about how much I struggle with actually doing nature study. Science has been somewhat inconsistent as well. Why it is so hard is kind of a mystery to me. I like science and I love nature. (Although I’m not real big on temperature extremes, so that does…

MonkiSee Baby’s First Words

Yesterday’s Classics
Books. I love them. Some might say too much. But among homeschoolers, I’m pretty normal. Actually our home library is a bit smaller than many others I’ve heard about. I love to read. I want my kids to love to read, and I don’t want a lack of good books available to be used as…
Daily Word Problems
I have a confession to make. I’m a math geek. Math was always my favorite subject. I was excited for my son to get to Algebra so I could help him with it. My favorites are word problems. Yes, I love those problems about paddling canoes upstream, 2 trains leaving Boston, or 2 people painting…
