The Future of Weekly Wrap-up

By
I mentioned in my last post that I plan to participate in Kris' Weekly Wrap-up each week.

The problem, though, is that I typically blog several times a week as things are happening.

I have thought about how mundane it will be to wrap up a week I've already posted about in detail.

So, I've decided that my Weekly Wrap-up will be entitled "Weekly Wrap-up: Dawson Says" and I will have him blog about our week from his perspective.

What do you think?

We won't be starting school until August 18th, when my other children start public school. Our wrap-ups will begin on August 20th.

Between now and then we may have some other posts, though, because we are still getting our school room together and we are slowly working on reading and watching videos about Pearl Harbor.

    Thanks for the comment on my blog! :) Welcome to homeschooling, you're going to have a wonderful time! :) (Though my kids are younger and we are just starting more "formal" schooling, I was homeschooled so I can say that! Hehe!)

    Thanks for stopping by my blog! I am excited for you stepping into homeschooling. I think getting an older student perspective is an excellent idea. Have fun!

We all know that in this crazy world of homeschooling, we need all the (adult) support we can get. Please leave a comment if you so wish!

Cells ~ It's What's for Dinner

Dawson made edible cells on Friday. He made an animal cell pizza ... and a plant cell chocolate chip cookie ... He reviewed what he's learned about cells the past two weeks, and I had dinner made by someone else. Win, win!! I am linking up at Science Sunday at Adventures in Mommydom.

ABCya

By
Eli's reading resource teacher shared a website with me yesterday that I would like to pass along. It's called ABCya . There are separate educational sections with fantastic games for ages kindergarten through 5th grade. I browsed the 2nd grade level, and it includes age-appropriate games about Letters, Numbers, Shapes, Geometry, Patterns, Mouse Manipulation, Art and Holiday games. There are lots and lots of fun and creative games for children to play. They are fun, but oh, so educational. Eli's favorite, in his short time playing it, was Create a Car . A lot of the games also have Apps available for purchase (99 cents for most of them) for the iPad and iPhone. I have been looking for another free website for games similar to Starfall , for some time. I think I have found it. I can feel confident having Eli and Brynne play these games.

How to Build a Homeschool U.S. History Curriculum from "America: The Story of Us"

By
FINAL UPDATE (JUNE 2012): We completed our entire U.S. History course last month using the America: The Story of Us video series and the resources I had planned. We officially covered Episodes 1-9 which got us through the 1920's. We plan to use the remaining three videos when we study the World Wars in a couple of years. I just want to go on record as saying that I believe whole-heartedly that the use of this series with my resources would more than qualify your child for a full credit of U.S. History. And, it was exciting and enriching. Feel free to follow all of my lesson plans. You can see them all at this link: http://journey2excellence.blogspot.com/search/label/America%3A%20The%20Story%20of%20Us Update: America: The Story of Us is now available as an InstaStream through Netflix! We also had it available at our local library. If you didn't receive a complimentary copy, you won't have to pay the $30 for it! Many of us received a complimentary copy of "...
