Comparing Numbers with LEGO – LEGO Math

Logi-Bear is so desperate to catch up to his brothers in school work that he is trying to sneak-learn multiplication. I’m not even kidding. He tries to eavesdrop on our multiplication lessons. He insisted on playing the HoliMaths Multiplication game with us. But he still needs the basics and I’m having to find ways to…

Pumpkin Number Line: Hands On Math

Logi-Bear is starting to learn some more diverse methods of addition and subtraction and I’m trying to keep up with him. He is a motivated learner and just does not need much instruction. But I have fun making things so I do. I’m hoping this hands on pumpkin number line will grab his attention! …

Learn to Read with Fall Beginning Sounds Printable

It does not feel like fall here. Not even close. We don’t really get fall at all but I feel like it’s time to start celebrating the leaves changing, pumpkins, and snuggling on the couch. So these fall beginning sounds cards are helping me to get into the fall mood. Logi-Bear is my last child…

Why I Read Aloud to my 10 Year Old Every Night

Baloo and I have read aloud together every single night since he was about 11 months old. Back then it was a tool to calm down before bedtime but now it is a time for just the two of us to share. Nine years of reading nightly has given us much more than the gift…

Learn Ww with Dot Marker Printables!

Today Logi-Bear (5) referred to a candle as a “smelling good” and I realized that I won’t have these moments much longer. By ‘these moments’ I mean the ones where they use the best descriptions of objects when they don’t know the real name. They come few and far between now. That was one of…

LEGO Sums Simple Addition Activity

My kids hate math and sometimes that makes me feel like a failure. Okay that was a bit dramatic, but not far from the truth. Baloo really hates math and I often feel like I have failed him in that area. He’s not bad at math (although it’s also not his strength) but he does…

Multiplication Game of Strategy and Fun: HoliMaths

Multiplication is one of those topics that we come back to again and again. For some reason, memorizing his times tables is the bane of Baloo’s existence. We don’t necessarily push it too hard, but I do think it is important. Having your multiplication tables memorized makes higher math so so so much easier. I…

Interactive Books for Homeschooling – Scanorama

I am a bibliophile to the core (that’s ‘book lover’ for those of us who like to appear fancy) and always expected that my kids would automatically be book lovers, too. I thought that would just be genetic. And while my kids do love books, it took time and effort to get us to that…

Pirate SuDoKu – Pirate Fun with Free Printables

Arrrrr matey’s! It be that time o’ year again. Yep, talk like a pirate day is coming. Funny fact – when I was in high school one of my besties and I had a note journal. We would (secretly) write notes to each other during class and pass off the notebook. It never failed that…

Our Homeschool Room – Take a Tour of a Small Space

We’ve probably all had that moment where you’re perusing Pinterest and drooling over the gorgeous homeschool rooms that some people have set up. And while those rooms are amazing and I still oogle them from time to time, I don’t need that. Our homeschool room is the dining room table that we never actually sit…

Letter Vv Dot Marker Alphabet Printables

Anyone remember the episode of Friends where Joey buys the letter V encyclopedia? That’s all I can think of when I think of the letter V 😀 Anyway, we are on to the letter Vv! And of course, V is for Volcano – because volcanos are really awesome and interesting…from a distance. Check out this…

When Math is Easy and Inexpensive – Math Mammoth

Math is one of the most important topics we will cover in homeschool. I firmly believe that. When my kids talk about what professions interest them, engineering almost always comes into play. But math is used in most professional areas these days. The problem with math is that it has to be learned from the…
