A few weeks ago, we did a lot of research on our planets, rockets, space stations, astronauts, and space in general. We watched YouTube videos, explored NASA's website, played space games, watched movies based in space (because sci fi is always fun:)), and wrote stories/drew pictures of what it would be like to live on … Continue reading Science/Art: The Planets
Earlier this year we talked about the Human Body and the internal organs. We learned about how our food is digested, how our brains send signals to our muscles and nerves, and even about how many bones we have in our bodies! The book below helped to get us started, and I found at a … Continue reading Science/Art: The Human Body
Adding to our cloud/weather week, we also made a tornado in a jar. The girls loved this one and we have had it on the counter for a few days randomly playing with it! There is a tornado spinning in the jar in the picture, but was kind of hard to make out in the … Continue reading DIY Tornado In a Jar
This past week in our Homeschool Science Lab, we have talked about the clouds and how if you can identify them, you can pretty much predict the weather! It definitely worked for us!

We would begin looking for land to start our new homestead on, without the worry … Continue reading Homeschool- Our First 2 Month’s Journey

I have to say that I have gone from being totally against it, to being so excited about it I find it hard to sleep at night. For about a year I have slowly … Continue reading Homeschooling- When We Decided We Were Ready
I used to never go to the thrift shops, goodwills, salvation army stores, etc. just because I never saw the need. I always thought my local thrift shop was full of junk and I figured I could find a good deal on Amazon too. I mean, I am a Prime Member! I get free two … Continue reading Why I am a Thrift Shop Junkie
My husband and I have been thinking of homeschooling for a while. I was slightly against it because I thought that my kids would be these weird social outcasts...terrible stereotypes! So, after my third grader came home (We will call her Razzy, 8) and started looking, acting, and feeling burned out, I knew we had … Continue reading Homeschool-Growing Our Classroom
