Skip Counting Dot to Dot for Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays to use in themes – mostly because of the turkeys. I love the turkeys. So when I have the opportunity to do a Thanksgiving theme, I almost always take it. I knew a skip counting dot to dot was needed in a Thanksgiving theme! So here it is….

Smiley Face Mystery Coordinate Grid Printable Math Fun

Graphs are an important part of math and a great way to visually show information. However, it’s not always easy to learn how to use a graph or a grid. And it’s not always fun to practice that knowledge. This is why I’ve created these coordinate grid mystery pictures which are a super fun way…

Chemistry Books You Absolutely Need

We are a book family so you know I had to include a list of great chemistry books that you should probably own. Or at least have on hand for an excellent homeschool chemistry unit study. I wouldn’t necessarily buy all of these books – that would depend on how much your child is interested….

Make a Spectrometer for Chemistry

Imagine a world in which fire, air, water, and earth were considered ‘the elements’. A world in which we didn’t know about oxygen or the role it plays. When people scoffed at the idea of atoms or tiny things you couldn’t see. Sounds much different than what we know and see today, right? But this…

2nd Grade Cursive Writing Worksheets

Cursive writing. I have to admit – my kids are not thrilled with having to learn ANOTHER form of writing. They already dislike print writing enough. But there are far too many benefits to cursive for me to pass up teaching them. Plus, they can already write – the switch to cursive is seriously simple….

Skip Counting Dot to Dot – Halloween Theme

Skip counting is such a great math skill. It comes in handy in so many ways later – counting groups, addition, multiplication, when you have multiple kids and you need to get everything in multiples of 3… Let’s just say, I can skip count by 3s to a pretty high number at this point. Watch…

Witchy Slime for Spooky Sensory Fun

I love slime. Probably even more than my kids. There’s something just so relaxing about it. I knew when I saw this little witch that she was meant to be a slime witch. So that’s what she became. The Fun of Slime If I’m being honest, I don’t know why I love slime so much….

How to Teach the Real Story of Columbus

I was an adult when I first learned the real story of Columbus and it was a bit devastating to me. Not only did I grow up thinking this guy was a hero but he was actually a really terrible person. Even if we give him a pass and say he was a product of…

Life Cycle of a Pumpkin Printables

It’s always fascinating to watch plants grow but kids seem a bit more excited to learn about how pumpkins grow. I think it’s because pumpkins often turn into Jack-o-Lanterns. Or maybe it’s pumpkin pie. Either way, learning the life cycle of a pumpkin is a great way for kids to learn all about plants and…

It’s okay to be a Hot Mess Homeschooler

I’m a Hot Mess Homeschooler. And if you’re reading this, you at least think you might be as well. It’s not something I admit freely often – although I do have plenty of friends who feel they fit in the same category. But we do often discuss how we don’t start school at 9, haven’t…

Ultimate Guide to Effective Multiplication Fact Practice

Does anyone else have a love-hate relationship with multiplication fact practice? I was always the math kid in school. Math tended to come easily for me. I still remember the multiplication charts and adding stickers for each multiplication fact you memorized. I rocked that. My kids didn’t. I’m not going to lie – I was…

Wizards Dueling – a Harry Potter Game

Last year I had the joy of teaching a Harry Potter class at our homeschool co-op. It was so much fun to delve into the world of Harry Potter every week and share it with some young Potterheads. One of the favorite activities was the Harry Potter style Wizard’s Dueling Game that we invented. How…
