There are many different ways that you can encourage music education in your homeschool. Just allowing your children the freedom to tinker with an instrument can lead to independent learning and a love for music that can last a lifetime.
Poetry is something that I always wanted to expose my kids to, but I never felt that they were ready. I wanted them to spend a good time exploring poetry in our homeschool, but I felt that pokemon, and graphic novels would never waver in lieu of classical literature. However, I have recently found that there […]
Since it is February and so dreary outside, I thought that we should bring more colour again into our homeschool. We had already learned all about Rainbows last year when learning about the letter R, so I wanted to do something different. I decided to check out both Pinterest and YouTube for some lesson inspiration and […]
The one thing I love about winter is that it forces us to be inside a little bit more. I do love sleding, ice skating, and playing in the snow; but I also love curling up with a good book next to the fire. Reading is important to me, and I am so glad that […]

Look at the Full Year Calendar. One of the large benefits of homeschooling is to be able to visit museums and attractions when they are not busy. I find it incredibly helpful to pull out not only the calendar with the holidays on it but also to look at a school calendar so that you can […]
As with many other homeschooling parents, I like to keep a record of what my kids do throughout the year. I have tried many different things in the past. The first year I was incredibly ambitious and created a scrapbook, that took me hours to make. I have used blog accounts, Facebook albums, and even […]
