5 Days of Homeschool Encouragement: Friday Favorites

Welcome back for the fifth and final day of our week of homeschool encouragement. I am glad you have joined us throughout the week!

Today we are talking about favorites. No, I won't tell you who my favorite offspring is...because they are each my favorite!! Instead I'll share a few of our favorite resources and activities, in no particular order.

One of our top favorite resources is Heirloom Audio Productions, and their online Adventure Club. We have reviewed several of their productions:
In Freedom's Cause
With Lee in Virginia
Captain Bayley's Heir
Wulf the Saxon

Another top favorite is Home School in the Woods. I recently posted a review for the Project Passport: World History studies--Renaissance and Reformation. Near the bottom of that review, I listed the other products we've reviewed from Home School in the Woods.

One product I need, and without which I could not function (HA!) is Homeschool Planet from the Homeschool Buyers Co-op. I've written a couple reviews here on the blog.

Any guesses what our favorite "extra-curricular" or elective type activity might be? If you guessed photography, you got it right on!! Scrapbooking, and Instagram, go hand-in-hand with photography, for me.

For my Seventh-day Adventist friends, a couple of my favorite E.G. White books are: The Desire of Ages, and Steps to Christ. My favorite male vocalist is Steve Darmody. My favorite female vocalist is Jennifer LaMountain. My favorite instrumentalist is Jaime Jorge. My favorite pianist is Kelly Mowrer. And my favorite vegetarian "meat" product is a three way tie: Big Franks, FriChik, and Rediburger. Oh, and our favorite potluck meal is Haystacks!

What are a few of your favorite things? Please share.

I hope you have a wonderful weekend, and a productive school year.

5 Days of Homeschool Encouragement: Thankful Thursday

Welcome! Thank you for joining us again today.

This morning I'd like to share with you some of the reasons I am thankful for the privilege and opportunity we've had to homeschool over the past 20+ years:

1. Time spent together
2. Being able to give my children Christian training, teaching them Biblical truths
3. Being able to teach them to be disciples of Jesus
4. Being able to tailor my children's education to fit each child's strengths, weaknesses, interests
5. Being able to pursue our passions: nature, photography, weather, writing, reading, etc.
6. The ability to closely monitor my daughter's health (diabetes) during the years she was still homeschooling
7. The ability to allow each child to learn at his/her own pace, especially SJ and his learning challenges
8. Freedom of schedule
9. All the wonderful books we've been able to share
10. The fact that my children can (fairly easily) converse rather intelligently with people of all ages, not just age peers

What are a few things you for which you are thankful this week, whether you're a homeschooler or not?

5 Days of Homeschool Encouragement: Work it in Wednesday

Welcome back! It's good to have you here again today. This morning we will take a moment to discuss how to work in a few of those essential "extras," such as nature study, field trips, or service activities.

Nature study

If you've been following my blog for any length of time, and even more, if you're a follower on my Instagram, you may have noticed that I am pretty passionate about nature, God's beautiful creation, because I post collages from my morning walks of clouds, trees, flowers, butterflies, etc.

Believe me, I am thankful we are able to live in a mostly rural setting, so I can enjoy these walks. We have bird feeders up, too, to attract the birds.

What if you live where the houses are close together? Or perhaps you even live in a city? How can you possibly fit nature study in then?

Well, in most situations, you ought to be able to put up a bird feeder. Perhaps you can grow some flowers in a window box. Or even herbs. You could have an aquarium or terrarium. Or you may need to make regular excursions to the city park.

I know many homeschool moms keep nature journals and have their kids do the same. We tried that once, years ago. I personally find it easier to just take photographs!

Some good resources:

Handbook of Nature Study-Outdoor Hour Challenges and Nature Study
Simply Charlotte Mason-Nature Study
AmblesideOnline Nature Study Schedule
And for my Seventh-day Adventist friends, there are all those Pathfinder Nature Honors your children can work on.

Field Trips

There are many places one can go for field trips: museums; aquariums; theme parks; zoos; state and national parks; historic reenactments; factories; farms; even common every day places such as the post office, police or fire station, bakery, etc. I have Pinterest boards for Local Attractions, and Field Trip Ideas, if you want to check them out. I've shared some of our field trips in the past.

Service

This can be as simple as doing their household chores, or helping the grandparents with little tasks around their house or yard, or helping in the kitchen at church setting up for potluck or cleaning up afterward.

See about going to nursing homes, rehab facilities, or maybe even the pediatric ward. Your children can take homemade cards, crayon (or any other medium) drawings, or maybe even flowers, to the residents or patients.

Or visit the widow next door, or the single mom from church. Perhaps there are some simple tasks your child could do for her for which she would surely be grateful.

There is always preparing the Christmas shoe boxes, or volunteering at the local food bank. Or consider going on a mission trip.

I'm certain there are many more possibilities for field trips or service opportunities that I haven't mentioned. Would you please share your ideas in the comments below?

Remember to take time to work in these aspects of homeschooling, at least several times a year.

I hope to see you back here again tomorrow.

In the meantime, here are a few more members of the Crew who are participating in this blog hop. Stop in and say hello to some of them.

5 Days of Homeschool Encouragement: Take a Look Tuesday

Welcome back! I am glad you have joined us again today, while we take a look at--

Step 3: Choosing curriculum 

If you have been following our homeschool journey over much of the past 20+ years, you will know that we began our journey using Five in a Row, and enjoyed using these products for most of our journey.

Five in a Row consists basically of three levels: Before Five in a Row, Five in a Row, and Beyond Five in a Row. There is also one unit of Above and Beyond Five in a Row. These are literature-based unit studies, using quality children's books. They provide a gentle, natural learning environment, which is something I appreciate tremendously.

Before Five in a Row "opens up the world of learning through great books and creative play, and builds the solid foundation needed for more formal education to come."

Five in a Row "is designed to teach children the joy of learning while exposing them to the vast world of information that’s so important in building a solid educational foundation to prepare them for a life of learning."

Beyond Five in a Row builds on the foundation of loving learning and the joy of discovery while upholding academic excellence and encouraging critical thinking and developing character growth in interpersonal relationships.

We have made some wonderful friends in the Five in a Row community, through the forums, and on Facebook.

We have also used Unit Studies by Amanda Bennett, especially the Download and Go unit studies.

More recently I came across Simply Charlotte Mason, when even SJ was past the early-learning age. Take a look at the preschool planning guide, especially. We have used a couple of the History Studies; and I really like the looks of the Enrichment Studies, and am intrigued by the Individual Studies...and wish they had high school levels available, since I still have one high schooler left.

As far as math goes, I think my favorite curriculum is Math U See. I wish I had used it from the beginning with all of my children. As it is, SJ is the one who has benefited the most from it.

For language arts, I highly recommend the Primary Arts of Language reading and writing package, from Institute for Excellence in Writing.

Another excellent choice for reading and spelling would be All About Learning.

If you are interested in hands-on history products, be sure to check out Home School in the Woods!

I think all of these resources would work fairly well with the delayed FORMAL academics approach.

For my Seventh-day Adventist friends, remember that the Adventurers and Pathfinders coursework is an excellent hands-on educational resource.

I hope you'll come back tomorrow!

5 Days of Homeschool Encouragement: Motivation Monday

Dear young homeschool mom,

You and your husband have made the decision to homeschool your children. Your oldest is 4 or 5 now, and you're getting pressured by society, friends, maybe family even, to put him or her in preschool or kindergarten.

But your little girl would rather play with her dolls, or make "meals" for Daddy in her play kitchen. Your little boy can't sit still; he'd rather play with his toy cars or his Duplos or Legos.

Or they'd rather be outside, playing in the dirt, climbing trees, swinging in the swing, or swimming in your pool.

Besides all that, there is so much curriculum out there from which to choose, it's extremely overwhelming!! Where do you start?

Relax, Mama. You can do this!

First step: Pray. God will speak to your heart. He will guide you in the way you should go.

Second step: Read. First and foremost, read God's Word.

"Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it." Proverbs 22:6.

"And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up." Deuteronomy 6:7. (Deuteronomy 11:19 says basically the same thing)

"All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness." 2 Timothy 3:16.

"If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him." James 1:5.

Some other resources to read:

If you click over to our Homeschool Philosophy, you'll find a few of my favorite resources. Or you can read it at this website, if you'd rather.

I shared a review of God Schooling: How God Intended Children to Learn last week, which was a new resource for me. It certainly is becoming a favorite resource for me to recommend to new homeschoolers.

A couple of the first books I read were: A Charlotte Mason Education, and More Charlotte Mason Education, by Catherine Levison.

More books to read, by Karen Andreola: A Charlotte Mason Companion, Pocketful of Pinecones, and Lessons at Blackberry Inn.

Maybe you'll even want to read Charlotte Mason's books: Home Education; Parents and Children; School Education; Ourselves; Formation of Character; A Philosophy of Education. (I will admit, I have not read them myself...not yet, anyway.)

You can listen to podcasts over at A Delectable Education, and at Simply Charlotte Mason.

For my Seventh-day Adventist friends, some of the best books to read are: Education; Christian Education; Counsels to Parents, Teachers and Students; and Fundamentals of Christian Education, or any other books by E.G. White.

Tomorrow we will cover Step 3 by taking a look at curriculum, so I hope you'll come back then.

Through the Eyes of My Students {Back to Homeschool Blog Hop}

Hello. Welcome back for our final day of the blog hop.

Today we will be learning about homeschooling, through the eyes of my students. Well, that was my original plan, anyway. I'd asked both boys to take a few photos for me, of what homeschooling looks like to them.

Botanist Boy is still at my brother's (hopefully we get him back this weekend!). He's spent the past two weeks there, helping with VBS. So, I'd hoped for a picture or two from VBS. Well, that didn't happen. But he did help with the food ministry, and took pictures from that.

Food ministry

I also had pictures from the VBS at my parents' church, with which he also helped.

VBS in Florida

So, I guess we could say that one of the "faces" of homeschooling is volunteering in ministry.

Since I didn't get more photos than these, I asked each boy to tell me verbally: What does homescool look like to you?

Little Bit's response:

"Fun; interesting; exciting."

(well, except maybe reading, writing, and spelling... ;-) )

Botanist Boy's response:

"Homeschooling makes it so I can pick what I want to learn, and I can learn about God, which I can't really do in public school."

I know that both boys are thankful they don't have to get up early, to be on the school bus by 6:30 or 7:00 in the morning. I know that, if he really stopped to think about it, Little Bit would be thankful he doesn't have to sit in a desk nearly all day long.

I'm sure Botanist Boy is pleased that he was able to be with his cousin today when she got her driver's license. I imagine it will help to encourage him to work toward getting his permit first, then license later.

Even though neither one mentioned it, I think they like the fact that homeschooling is flexible.

How do your children view homeschooling? Please share.

A Day in Our Home School {Back to Homeschool Blog Hop}

Hello. Thank you for coming back again today. Please join us as we walk through a typical day at our home school.

Actually, I don't know how "typical" this will be, since at the moment, my 10th grader isn't home; he's still at my brother's, helping with VBS at their church. Tonight is the last night, though.

Anyway, on average, this is what our day looks like:

Anywhere between 4:00 am and 6:00 am, I'm up, have my own private time with God, shower and dress, and may do some blogging/computer work.

Little Bit is usually up by 7:00 or 7:30. I remind him to read from his Bible, if he doesn't remember on his own. After that, I'll read to him from a devotional. Currently it's called Skyscrapers, by Eric B. Hare.

After that, we try to go right in to his Language Arts schoolwork. He may even get his math done before breakfast sometimes.

Some time between 7:00 and 8:30, hubby leaves for work. He has about an hour commute, one way. He doesn't really have a set time he has to be there...just, "before 9:00 am." Sometimes he's even called out in the middle of the night, if the system at works has some glitch or something. (For the record, he is a broadcast engineer at a TV station; he's the transmitter supervisor. In other words, he's the one who makes sure the station is on the air.)

Now, if the Botanist Boy doesn't stay up too late (Ha!), he hopefully will emerge from his room about 9:00...just in time for breakfast. He'll read a chapter from his Bible before he leaves his room.

After breakfast and clean up, we'll work on any schoolwork that the boys might be doing together...which isn't much anymore, since Botanist Boy is doing high school stuff. But if we're working on a unit study type item (particularly something we may be reviewing for the Crew), we'll work on it together.

Otherwise, the boys will separate for their own schoolwork. Little Bit still requires quite a bit of my assistance, while Botanist Boy works more independently. Botanist Boy does his schoolwork in his bedroom, where he can have quite and no distractions. Little Bit kind of migrates throughout the house, but does the bulk of his work in my bedroom.

Usually while they're doing schoolwork, if I don't have to help Little Bit, I'll work on my computer, or I may spend some time reading (since I review for LitFuse, as well).

Little Bit usually has his work completed by lunch time, which is around 2:00 pm.

After lunch and clean up, the boys have free time, if they're finished with their schoolwork. Little Bit tends to play games on his iPad. Botanist Boy may spend some time writing on his current story. If the weather is comfortable, they might even spend some time outside.

Supper is scheduled for 6:00 pm, and is an "everybody fends for him/herself" situation, usually.

Hubby will typically be home between 6:00 and 7:00, or so. He likes to relax by watching a TV show he's recorded. And he does go to bed fairly early (around 9:00 or 9:30-ish), and Little Bit usually heads for bed about that same time.

Bedtime for Botanist Boy and for me tends to vary, I think. I try to get there by 11:00, though. Perhaps he does, too.

As you can see, we tend to go more by routine, than by a hard and fast schedule.

What does a typical day in your home school look like? Please share.

Our Learning Spaces {Back to Homeschool Blog Hop}

Hello. Thank you for joining us again today.

Today we'll take a little tour of our learning spaces. Like most homeschool families, I am sure, our homeschooling doesn't take place in only one area of the home. For us, it is all over the house, and even spills to the great outdoors.

Yes, we do actually have a "classroom." Or library, if you'd rather call it that. And believe me, it rarely looks this neat! In fact, I'd be most embarrassed to share a photo of how it looks today!

Obviously we do a lot of schoolwork in the living room. This is where we watch videos together, and Little Bit sits on the couch often, to use his iPad.

He also uses the coffee table frequently at which to do his schoolwork.

The boys watch videos on the iPad together sometimes.

Our kitchen is used often, for home ec. We also do a lot of food related activities with our studies, especially our Five in a Row/Beyond Five in a Row meals.

The dining room table actually gets used sometimes! Surprise! Because I know many homeschool families use their dining tables for a majority of their schoolwork.

I think my bed is used the most for our schoolwork. Little Bit does a majority of his lessons in my room, since he still requires a lot of my assistance.

Oh, and yes, my bedroom floor is used often (well, nearly daily), by Little Bit especially.

My computer is used occasionally throughout the week, as well, particularly when we have a review item for the Schoolhouse Review Crew.

Since Little Bit and I will be studying birds this year, another of our learning spaces is outside my bedroom window, at the bird feeders and bird bath. We've only put the bird bath out recently, and I haven't seen any birds using it yet.

Another outdoor learning space is my garden box. Earlier, Little Bit and I had a lot of fun photographing our plants.

Hubby and the boys use the workshop, and the area around the workshop, often as a learning area.

One of the beauties of homeschooling is that we can take it with us when we go visit my parents in Florida. One of Little Bit's favorite places to do school is at the large dining room window...because out back is a little frog pond. He loves watching the frogs!

The boys accomplish a lot at the dining room table there, too.

Where does learning take place in your home school? Please share.

My Students {Back to Homeschool Blog Hop}

Hello. Welcome to the Back to Homeschool Blog Hop. I hope you'll join us each day this week.

Today I'd like to introduce you to my students, Little Bit and Botanist Boy.

First, here's Little Bit. I suppose I really ought to come up with a new screen name for him, since, after all, he is a teenager now.

This year, for official reporting purposes, he is in 6th grade.

I had him fill out this little questionnaire:

What would you like to be when you grow up?

I'll have to say, he does like animals, almost as much as his sister does. He enjoys playing games on his iPad, and taking photos with it as well.

That brings us to Botanist Boy.

This year he is in 10th grade. Hard to believe I have only 3 years left with him. We're working hard on preparing him for college.

What do you like to do for fun?
