It looks like school is a lot of fun at your place! I'm stopping by from the Hip Homeschool Hop. I love all of the team work and different activities you are using. Thanks for sharing!
WOW, what great lessons the kids had. They look pretty close in age, which is good for the lessons. I love the notebooking pages!
What a great week, I love the notebook pages!!
Hi! I came across your blog this week and noticed that not only you are a homeschool, but that literature plays a big part in your homeschooling focus. I run a website called HomeschoolLiterature.com that focuses on literature by and about homeschoolers. I am looking for moms like you who love books and reading to submit a review of one of the books featured on our website. If you and your kids have read any of these books , would you mind submitting a short review on the site? (If you haven't read any of the books, don't worry...there are links with each book on how to locate it at your local library or on Amazon.com) Reviews can be submitted in the comment section of each book review, or on this page . In your review, please include your blog URL, also, so other literature-based homeschooling families can follow your posts! This is also a GREAT project for homeschool students too, and makes a nice substitute for a traditional book report...we LOVE featuring reviews submitted by kids!!
