Scripture Memorization Made Wonderful: Seeds Family Worship CDs

At some point last year I read about Seeds CDS. Although they received glowing reviews, I thought that at $12.98 apiece they were a bit on the pricey side. I was wrong. They are worth every single penny. Seeds Family Worship CDs contain delightful, powerful songs created using the words of scripture. The songs are sung by accomplished musicians, the arrangements are pleasant and memorable,

Who in the World? Biographies

Our journey through time with Susan Wise Bauer’s children’s history texts, The Story of the World, brought us to the Middle Ages this year. It was quite the exciting romp:  We watched as Rome fell, sat entranced as the barbarians invaded, learned about the rise of Islam, discovered exciting events happening in China, Japan, and Australia, sailed the seas with the Norsemen, established the English

One Small Square – Illustrated Nature

Science is fun.  I want to fit it in.  In juggling the demands of this busy homeschooling household, I don’t always manage it, though. The answer:  living books! For me, it all starts with the books.  A topical, science-based, information-packed, well-illustrated set of books often provides the basis for scientific study at our house.  They give me the boost that I need to develop a science topic into a science

Wordplay Cafe

Wordplay Café by Michael Kline is a set of grammar and vocabulary lessons disguised as a book of games.  Truth be told, there are a few lessons that cover logic and Greek and Latin in there, too. The set up of the book itself mimics a menu at a café.  There are recipes for games, brain candy (interesting word and language facts), unfortunate cookies (made up

Things People Do

Do you remember elementary school social studies?  I remember a few bits and pieces—my memories are of a little American history and a lot of social studies.  It seems that we talked quite a bit about how society works.  We talked about the police, the fire department, community leaders, the library, and other societal mechanisms.  Though I have chosen a chronological approach to history, I

Master Writer Quotation Copybooks

I have fairly high standards for copywork.  I like for it to be easy to use and cost effective. In addition, while I certainly care about their handwriting, I want my kids’ writing practice to consist of more than drill.  I want it to provide food for thought.  Of course, I really like it when the copywork complements our studies. The Master Writer Quotation Copybooks by Westvon Publishing do

Lessons in Manners for Copywork

Copywork should be easy.  It should be related to the history lesson or pulled from the read-aloud selection.  It can come from art, music, or science.  It can be a statement, a poem, or a definition.  Copywork should be easy, but if I do not take the time to gather and organize the passages it becomes a tedious, time-consuming problem.  Most of the time, I
