The Home Stretch

By


Our first grandchild is due in four weeks.


To say we are excited is an understatement. We cannot wait to meet our grandson!!


On Monday I took Kyndal out to our new property to take some maternity photos of her. We took photos on the side of the property where her and Collin will build their house in a few years. We got some great shots. She is beautiful!

    Hi there,

    I am a mom of 7 and I've been homeschooling for 9 years. Looking through your blog and seeing how you have your days planned, I have always done things similarly. For history I have always done History of the World, but this year I am going do a year long study of American History. I need some help with resources and that's how came to find your blog. My Google search took me to your 2011 post of an extensive overview of your whole plans and such. The only link that is still current is the "History of Us," DVD series. Is there any way you would be able to help me with current links to what you had on that post? I'm very interested in the student notebooking and the print outs that you actually show in picture below your text for that particular 2011 blog post.

    My name is Shauna and my email is shauna.klip@gmail.com

    I would appreciate any information! Thank you so much for your time, take care,

    Shauna

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 "...
