Our Eclectic Homeschool Curriculum Choices 2018-2019

August 25, 2018 by Erin Vincent 11 Comments

Summer is drawing to a close, which means that school is on everyone's mind. I admit I'm not ready for the warmth of summer to end. We've already had our first 4H Horse Club meeting as well as a couple of Homeschool Group meetups. Since I can't stop summer from ending, I have resigned to making this school year the best one yet! So, here is my annual homeschool curriculum post. We will use many … [Read more...] about Our Eclectic Homeschool Curriculum Choices 2018-2019

Geography Through Literature: Around the World with Picture Books

December 31, 2017 by Erin Vincent 22 Comments

I am so flip'in excited to share with you how we are exploring geography through literature! As many of you know, our homeschool thrives on read alouds, games, art, and nature exploration. This combination works beautifully for my children and for my family. But, sometimes it can be challenging to know which great books pair well with our current study. It takes loads of effort to search … [Read more...] about Geography Through Literature: Around the World with Picture Books

Hands-On Geography with Pin It Maps

July 9, 2017 by Erin Vincent 6 Comments

One of my ultimate favorite things about homeschooling is our ability to follow our children's interests. These rabbit holes of learning are akin to the rabbit hole that Alice fell down when chasing the infamous white rabbit. One never knows where you'll end up. So it is that I've discovered maps are a fantastic way to aid us in our learning adventure! *Disclosure:  This post may contain … [Read more...] about Hands-On Geography with Pin It Maps

Geography Through Stories: Around the World Stories

June 25, 2017 by Erin Vincent 6 Comments

I would love to travel with my children! Dreams of a cross-country road trip (with someone else driving, of course) and stops along the way to check out the strange but true sites of our great country have flitted through my mind for years. I'd also love to tour the world. At the moment travel isn't possible. There are far too many responsibilities here on our farm. But that doesn't mean that … [Read more...] about Geography Through Stories: Around the World Stories

November 25, 2016 by Erin Vincent Leave a Comment

  I am so excited to share an awesome subscription box that I recently discovered! Do your children love hands on learning that's fun? I know ours sure do. Do your kids love science, technology, engineering, and math aka STEM? What about comic books? Our son thrives on STEM based learning and being a reluctant reader, comic books have been a big hit with him too! How about all of these … [Read more...] about Explore the 5 Senses with the Know Yourself Adventure Series
