I love that I can go to the dollar store and get all of the items needed to make a Valentine’s Wreath. I would rather build something with one of my children than to purchase a finished product.
So, here is our version of this year that Rowan and I put together. Enjoy! 🙂
The student will learn how to make two different homemade simple cheese recipes using vinegar and lemon juice.
The student will learn and decide on what (optional) additions they can add to their cheese.
The teacher will demonstrate how to create 2 soft cheeses from scratch. Students can follow along and create their own if they have ingredients, or just watch and learn.
Teacher is available via email for any additional question.
Homework? Let's eat!! 🙂
Once a year, on February 2, a groundhog comes out to look for his shadow. What is the meaning behind this silly tradition? In this class, each student will learn a little about Ground Hog Day. Students will create a lapbook all about the traditional Ground Hog Day in the United States. A lapbook is simply a file folder that contains a variety of "mini books," foldables, and other material that cover detailed information about the lapbook's central topic. A lapbook is simply a file folder that contains a variety of "mini books," foldables, and other material that cover detailed information about the lapbook's central topic. A multi-page handout will be available to the students before class to print and use. Students will need a manilla folder, scissors, glue stick, the printed handout, construction paper and colored pencils or markers.
Every day is a blessing and our family knows that all too much after the sudden loss of one of the kids in the family. As a mom, I try to be even a better mom that I was before. I want each of my kids to know that I love them and tell them in different ways.
Leaving each of the kids love notes for the first 2 weeks of February is a priority for me. Each of my children have such amazing gifts to give each other and others. I love highlighting this for them.
Start this year. Cut 14 hearts out of pink, red or even white paper for each child. Each day, write an “I LOVE YOU because…” on the heart and tape it to their door BEFORE they wake up in the morning. What an AMAZING surprise for them. <3
20 years of researching has led me to the conclusion that you can homestead on truly any size property. You just have to have GREAT organizational skills on smaller properties to streamline what you want to accomplish. Here is a link to homesteading.com and 15 homesteading ideas for your property. https://homesteading.com/homestead-farm-design-ideas/
Summer will be here before you know it. Several years ago, my family put together a cookbook on recipes that you can cook with your solar oven. Check out the link below. 🙂
We visiting a little known museum in Prescott, AZ the other day. The Fort Whipple Museum is on the VA grounds and filled with information on the fort and the hospital beginning from the times of the “Old West” of Prescott.
This museum takes less than an hour and I don’t recommend for super littles. Also, you do have to climb stairs to get in as well as to go upstairs. But otherwise, it is full of some AWESOME information on Prescott, AZ.
Fort Whipple Museum is located on the Veterans Affairs Medical Center grounds off AZ-Hwy 89 in Prescott, just north of the intersection with AZ-Hwy 69. Hours are Thursday to Saturday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. (closed federal holidays), and admission is free. Donations are accepted. Self-guided. Visit their website at: https://www.sharlot.org/fort-whipple-museum/
Searching out and finding activities in our area can sometimes be daunting. I have such a diverse set of ages and abilities in my family. We ran into a church family member at a local museum (more on that later) and our family was invited to check out this new Rock Wall Gym! https://www.prescottrocksandrec.com/
The crew was very excited to try something new… and these guys have won us over! We will see you soon! Homeschool groups, birthday parties! WOW! And you got an ALL THUMBS UP from my whole crew!
This is what homeschooling my children is all about. Elwyn has come a long way in 9 years, now in high school. Here she shows off at 6-years-old presenting a simple report (lapbook on Amelia Earhart) Check out our lapbooking introduction video and other videos on onDiscoveringEducation.us
