🤔How do you fit it all in?! This is a common question I get as a homeschool mom. The answer is both simple... and not. I don’t try to “fit” every possible piece of information into our curriculum. We’re not stuffing sausages here! Instead, my goal is to integrate themes or concepts from several subjects into our days. Then as my boys read, sing, memorize, write, play, experiment, and calculate... they will begin to see the connectedness of all learning. Knowledge and understanding aren’t neatly divided like bento box lunches. Learning is a more intuitive process of exploration and discovery. Ok, but HOW!? You might ask. This picture is an example: From our Classical Morning Menu, we’re doing a picture study of The Standard of Ur, which connects to our @classical_conversations Geography study of Mesopotamia, which connects to this fun picture book about life as a Sumerian slave (anthropology), which connects to the development of civilization and languages (another picture book: Ox, House Stick)... which connects to a book about Bible translators in Papua, New Guinea in our modern times, which helps my boys see how the study of the past is relevant to their life today. Along the way, we ask lots of questions, memorize facts, practice handwriting of various kinds, and even dip a toe into what this means for us as we study Spanish with @talkboxmom! Some of this process is planned—you can get my Ancient History Book List FREE on my blog, and my Ancient History Classical Morning Menu in my Etsy shop. And some of it is intuitive and serendipitous! I am planning to record a video about how we used this set of resources soon! Would that interest you? Please let me know, and ask me any questions you’d like me to cover! #Homeschool #HomeschoolMom #HomeschoolCurriculum #AncientHistory #morningmenu #ClassicalConversations #UnitStudy #Booklist #MorningMenu #ClassicalMorningMenu #PictureBook #InSearchOfTheSource #ChristianHomeschool #Homeschooling #HomeschoolLife #lifelonglearner #HomeschoolCollective #HomeEducation #HomeEducators #HappyStrongHomeSchool #homeschoolprintable #etsyseller

🏴‍☠️I have the cutest not-so-little First Mates, don’t I?
In celebration of “Talk Like a Pirate Day!” (Sept 19!), the boys and I had fun visiting our local library for a scavenger hunt and some treats, picked up some pirate books (Did you know China has their own history of piracy!?), and painted personal pirates with Nana at @chalkpastel (oh, and she’s got a great NEW pirate ship lesson on deck, too!)
🖍Plus, I put together a 10-page Talk Like a Pirate Activity book for all my email subscribers! Join the list and get the FREE booklet!
🎉Don’t forget - Pirate Party ideas and my original “Legend of the Tooth Pirate” short story are available #ontheblog AND, I have a Talk Like a Pirate Idea Shop over in my Amazon store!
Links to everything are in my bio! #linkinbio #linkinprofile ARRR! That’s some seafaring fun!

Happy first day of school! To be fair-this happene

Happy first day of school! To be fair-this happened several weeks ago and we just got around to taking the photos last week because it’s been so rainy... and busy... This has felt like the busiest #backtoschool ever for various reasons. I have to keep reminding myself:
we are not in a rush.
we are moving forward daily with our learning.
we are enjoying the process (why is this the hardest part?!). There really isn’t a final destination in learning—just milestones on the journey. We are always discovering there’s more just around each bend! Despite the busy feeling and a slightly messy beginning...I am always grateful to wake up in the morning and know my job is right there across the hall-I love guiding these two hearts towards a love of learning. 🥰 How was your back to school time? Are you in the swing of things yet? #homeschool #homeschoolmom #homeschooling #homeschoollife #homeschoolcollective #newhomeschoolmom #lifelonglearner #learningtogether #homeallday #happystronghomeschool #thisisourhomeschool

AD: Want to make your kids BEG to learn? Make it a game! My boys love this Flyswatter Review Game idea, so I created a more permanent game board that I can customize and reuse over and over again! With some @TheDuckBrand Clear Laminate and #EasyLiner I made this game on the back of a whiteboard. I can reuse, customize or rearrange the pieces easily because they are removable.
⠀
Make this game board on a bulletin board, door, wall, or any other solid surface.
⠀
Use this idea for math facts, vocabulary, or any facts kids need to learn.
⠀
What would you play with this game board craft idea? Get materials and steps for how to make this game on my blog. https://lnk2.io/wj92RXX

I always struggle to find words on this day, and t

I always struggle to find words on this day, and the words are NEVER eloquent because... terror and horror and death and destruction are brutal and not eloquent. But I remember. I was walking our dog. I got a call or a text from a friend (can't remember) that said an airplane crashed into a building in New York City. One of the twin towers. Under which I had just sat 6 weeks prior proudly showing a friend from the West Coast the Big Apple! I actually laughed in astonishment. Like. Is she kidding? How could that be true!? How could a pilot miss an obstacle THAT large? This certainly must not be true. When the brain cannot fathom something, it immediately tries to reconcile the new information, so I was frantically trying to reconcile this new horror by coming up with explanations for how it must be a false report, it must be a mistake, it must be just a small plane, but surely they're okay, or it must be... it must be... I had to leave for work, pre-smart phone-access-to-everything. I arrived at ESPN w/ televisions spanning whole walls, where the full horror played out over and over on screens all day. I can't tell how many times I watched the towers fall while I worked. It was a relentless horror I couldn't turn my eyes from if I wanted to b/c... well, I worked in television. I remember wondering who I might know, since I live only 2 hours away. I remember calls for blood drives. Blood never needed. Bodies never recovered. Goodbyes never said. Twenty years have come and gone. My children do not know why this day is so important. But I remember. And I will help them know why.
Why it is important to never forget lost lives.
Never forget we are blessed to live in a free country.
Never forget we can unite in care despite differences of opinions.
Never forget that in times of need our country made a collective cry to God. Friends, as we face new threats and terror in this life, as we struggle to find peace, hope, and common ground: We must never forget the lives lost.
We must never forget Christ is hope, safety, and peace in this life and in the next.
There is no final goodbye if we have hope of Eternal Life through Jesus. #neverforget #weremember
