Baloo is 5 years 2 months We had a really feel good homeschooling week.  One of those weeks where we went with the flow and it all just seemed to work out.  We didn’t get everything done and it was far from perfect, but looking back on it I’m thinking it was just right. Our…

I’m making these as Royal is ready for them, so here is the next in our color cut and glue sheets! Brown     And I’ve uploaded all the previous color sheets to the new domain! RedOrangeGreenYellowBlue   With these I usually cut out all the pictures, identify them with Royal, and let him glue…

Another thing Baloo really enjoys is graphing.  I found out how much he loved it when we started our sight word graphing game!  The biggest problem I’ve had with graphing is finding things to graph!  A lot of kindergarten classes will take a poll and graph the answers but we only have 5 people in…

Baloo really enjoys writing so I am doing my best to take advantage of that!!  I was inspired by Mama Jenn’s Calendar Notebooks but with just one child writing I didn’t really need to separate everything in quite the same way.  And Baloo is not quite old enough to do it all by himself so…

Baloo really enjoys games like mazes so I figured adding some sight word practice to a maze would be a great way to get him to practice his sight words!  And he loves it!  I think he would work on mazes all day if we had enough of them! I made mazes that correspond to…

Royal is 29 months It was sick week in our house.  Everyone but Royal was very sick this week, although we all kindly took turns so no two people were sick at the same time.  Royal played with our Wedgits a lot this week!  He made some towers and buildings, but mostly he remade this…

We’ve changed up out workbox routine a bit.  Baloo has days where he wants to just keep doing schoolwork even after I am done and days where he doesn’t even want to touch a single page.  So I’ve decided to let him choose his daily work and work at his own pace.  At the beginning…

Way back when I had just started this blog I had made a set of lowercase alphabet fish for Baloo to learn his letters.  (I can’t believe how young he was!).  He loved it back then and I thought he would love it now too! I traced some of our old fish so they would…

Royal is 29 months   Getting into the swing of things with Baloo’s kindergarten has kind of helped our focus in tot school!  We did letter A for apple this week since Baloo was working on letter A in RRSK.  It’s just more convenient that way! Letter A and Apple Theme We used printables from…

First I wanted to mention that royalbaloo.com is just about ready!  There is a new look and some new features but due to some technical difficulties it’s not quite ready.  Feel free to like our facebook page to know as soon as it’s ready though!  I have some free printables that will be going up…

We are still working on getting back into the swing of things.  Logi-Bear has teeth coming in and he’s been miserable so school time has been trying at best.  But we’re making the best of it! And you might notice…Baloo got a hair cut!!  His best friend has a short hair cut and Baloo wanted…

Royal is 28 months We’ve really spent the past few weeks just taking it easy and following Royal’s lead.  For the short time Baloo was in public school we had a blast together!  We took long nature walks every day, read books, played with games and just had a great time together. Here is Royal…
