First Day ~ December

By

Started our day with donuts from The Donut Palace. 

Came home from church to find all of my leaves raked! I went out and helped him bag them.

Eight bags of leaves.

Chloe went with Collin and I to drop off the bags of leaves to my dad.

She loves to go 'bye-bye'.

After two weekends, Rick was able to come home to us! It was a fun weekend!

Chili, chili dogs, frito chili pie … it was a yummy lunch!

The nuts Collin and I collected at my mom and dad's to feed to our squirrels.

Clifford was happy for a nice day on the back porch.

Working on the tree!

Chili dog!

Eli having some quiet time in my unmade bed. Watching Disney Infinity Youtube videos. He can't wait to get his for his birthday!

Adding the angel ….

And the tree is done!!

How we all felt while watching the Chiefs game. We were better off sleeping.

What did you do on your first day of December? I am linking up with Nicole at Journey to Josie.

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 "...
