Home School in the Woods – U.S. Elections Lap-Pak Review
Disclaimer: I received a FREE copy of this product through the HOMESCHOOL REVIEW CREW in exchange for my honest review. I was not required to write a positive review nor was I compensated in any other way. Growing up, I was never interested in history, let alone elections. It was boring, I didn’t understand why I needed to learn about it… if I am being honest, I hated it. It was one of my least favorite subjects all through college. Now, as an adult and a homeschooling mom, I find history fascinating. There’s so much to learn, and I love that I get to learn right along with my kids.…

CTC Math Curriculum Review and Giveaway!
I think I have finally found the PERFECT math for my 7 year old, I’m so excited to share it with you and tell you more about how awesome this math curriculum is! This isn’t just for homeschoolers either! Bubby, my 7 year old, does not like using lots of manipulatives or sitting in front of a book or doing worksheets all day. He HATES it. I wanted to find a computer based program that would teach him (because he and I butt heads, especially with math) and keep his attention. A little fun and games added in wouldn’t hurt either! Then I discovered CTC Math – it’s an online…

Two Weeks Into Our School Year!
I both look forward to and dread those first few weeks of school. Getting back into routine, introducing a new school year, finding out groove… it’s all hard and exciting! This year we have a 3rd grader, 1st grader, Pre-Kinder and I’m not sure whether to call Bear a tot-schooler or a distraction! Ha! So far things have gone pretty well, the kids enjoy their curriculum (which I’ll post about each kid individually in the next few weeks) and we’ve only had a few temper tantrums (from the 1st grader) about getting our work done! We’ve had several outings to our local library, we even did a day of school…

Hands On Homeschooling with a Sensory Kid
Since we are talking about homeschooling sensory kids, this topic is also a great one to hit on! Most kids do really well with hands on learning, but sensory kids most definitely benefit from it. I’ve realized over the past year, Bubby’s first “official” school year, that finding hands on activities, where your child can work with their hands or do physical activities are the best fit for him. Not only is he a sensory seeker, but he is a kinesthetic learner. This means that he needs a tactile learning style, one where he has to carry out physical activities instead of just sitting and listening or doing worksheets. I…
