I have a five-year-old and a three-year-old and at the turn of the year I was feeling like I wanted to change up our math routine a bit. We have been using Ray’s Arithmetic and it has provided my son with a fantastic understanding of how addition and subtraction works. We are still using Ray’s a couple days a week, but I wanted to incorporate
Easy Grammar – Grade 2 Review
I was given this product to review. No other compensation was awarded. All opinions are my own! Last year I wrote a review of Primary Language Lessons. I love its gentle, Charlotte Mason type approach to language arts, but the one thing that it doesn’t have is lots of practice for the different topics that are introduced. Most of the time when I want something
Drawing with Children Review
If there is one drawing book that I see consistently on homeschool curriculum sites, it’s Drawing with Children by Mona Brookes. I am not anything of an artist myself, so I thought this would be a good one for me to check out. When it came in the mail, I pretty much sat down and read it cover to cover. It is a wonderful resource

Elemental Science – Biology for the Grammar Stage
My son is five years old this school year and I decided at the beginning of the year to include science into our curriculum plans. We had done lots of Charlotte Mason style nature studies in his preschool years, but I wanted to be a little more formal this year. At the same time, I wanted something simple enough that it wouldn’t be too daunting
SPEED! A Skip Counting Game
Kids love to play games. Moms love it when their kids are learning. Everyone is happy when they find an activity that satisfies both criteria. Last year I noticed a blogger friend (Julie from Highhill Homeschool) had created a game called SPEED! It’s a card game that teaches skip counting from 2’s to 9’s. When I first read about SPEED!, I thought it would be
The Writing Road to Reading Review
The Writing Road to Reading was one of the first purchases I made when I began to teach my son. It was recommended on classical-homeschooling.org as being a great resource for teaching reading to children. It really is a great resource! The Writing Road to Reading teaches a phonics based method for learning to read. Unlike other phonics programs it recommends using writing as the
Preschool Piano with Music for Little Mozarts
*** Don’t miss the Music For Little Mozarts giveaway at the end! A few months ago my family bought a piano. Growing up, playing the piano was a regular part of life, so I was anxious to have a piano in our home for the sake of my children (well, for me too!) I was so excited to finally get a piano and I couldn’t
