This is my favorite fractions curriculum but the series is not limited to fractions only. Joely has long been fascinated with fractions. So now that she's doing Singapore Math 3, and she's got a good handle on multiplication and division, I've finally pulled out the big guns — in my opinion one of the best […]
I love free stuff from Amazon!
This month we ordered more free things from Amazon.com. We paid for our order with Amazon.com gift cards, all of which we earned with Swagbucks. In the past, we've mostly ordered books for school, but this time we opted to order goodies for the kitchen. Here's this months' order: Cooking, by James Peterson Artisan Bread […]
Help Children Understand Common Legal Terms
Not every child will grow up to be a lawyer (thank goodness), but every child should grow up understanding the meaning of some common legal terms, especially those related to criminal law. Words like acquit, arraign, indict, depose, and felony are found everywhere in books, on tv, and even in everyday conversations. Obviously a well-rounded […]
How to Evaluate a Website's Credibility for Research Papers
Jaden and Jerah are currently working on research papers about abortion. While I much prefer books for research, since they need to collect current information about laws and statistics, their best resource is the internet.

While Joely was doubling the recipe for her super-chocolately cake the other day, I noticed that she was having trouble doubling certain measurements. So for math today, we sat down and talked fractions, kitchen measurements, and conversions […]

Math Drills with FlashMaster
My kids now enjoy their math drills as they are fun and easy and can be done anywhere. In the past I've used a variety of methods to help my kids practice their basic math facts. They've drilled on paper with worksheets from The Math Worksheet Site or Worksheet Works; they've also drilled online at […]
Educational Link Love
Here are some educational links I bookmarked this week. You don't have to homeschool to enjoy these links. Phylo: The Trading Card Game bills itself as a Pokemon card type resource but with real creatures — namely animals of all shapes and sizes — on display in full “artistic” wonder. Looks quite interesting. Click the […]
Using Student Blogs to Homeschool
There are many reasons you can use student blogs to homeschool. Here are just a couple of examples. Although my children have had blogs for several years, they've not kept up with them on a regular basis. This year I've tried stay on top of it more, and my girls have been blogging more regularly.
