« Previous EntriesTeach Latin to the Little Ones? A Review of Song School Latin and Latin Monkey Match
Monday, May 3rd, 2010I’ve written about Classical Academic Press curriculum before, and recently they contacted me and asked if I’d like to review their Song School Latin and Latin Monkey Match Flashcard Game. I didn’t hesitate because I do love their products. Smart, funny, motivating, fun!
Right off the bat, the graphics and cartooning of both products [...]
One Million Arrows
Friday, March 5th, 2010Will the world change our children…or will our children change the world?
Julie Ferwerda has written One Million Arrows: Raising Your Children to Change the World, and I’m so glad she did! Back in January Julie contacted me and asked if I’d be willing to review One Million Arrows. The day the book arrived was [...]
Art Cards
Friday, January 8th, 2010Recently I was looking for copies of famous art so that when we discuss artists and their work during Circle Time or history or art, I can access the pieces quickly. Masterpiece Cards are a fantastic addition to our home library, and already in the two months I’ve had them, we’ve used them regularly, talking [...]
One of Our Favorite Toys
Wednesday, October 21st, 2009Right before we went on vacation, I bought a set of these Fisher Price Stack and Roll Cups, thinking they’d be a nice way to entertain our two little guys while in the rental house. They didn’t disappoint, and in fact they even gained the attention of everyone older than the two littlest.
The cups nest [...]

On the Upper End of the Spectrum- A Plan for Teens
Monday, September 14th, 2009I know many of you read Preschoolers and Peace because you have preschoolers. Still many of you are in the same boat I am, with high schoolers on one end and babies on the other.
I’ve got to tell you that even though we’d committed to homeschooling through high school, I was terrified. It wasn’t the [...]

Marvelous Monday- PRESCHOOL AND KINDERGARTEN
Monday, June 15th, 2009I really don’t know anything about preschool or kindergarten materials.
What I do know is that over the course of the past 16 years, we’ve used a lot, seen a lot, ditched a lot, and loved a lot. Because this is a subject that could garner a ridiculously long post for me, I thought [...]
Marvelous Monday- ELECTIVES
Monday, June 8th, 2009Electives. Wasn’t that the category you loved in high school? Finally, you could study something you really loved or at least wanted to know more about.
In our home, electives are chosen either because we see an area of giftedness in a child, the child has a growing interest in something, or because we know it’s [...]
Marvelous Monday- GEOGRAPHY
Monday, June 1st, 2009We haven’t always studied geography as a subject separate from history because the history programs we’ve used include mapwork that I thought was sufficient to familiarize my students with the globe.
However, I had been reading Ann Voskamp’s lovely blog for awhile and was so very curious about her geography curriculum, A Child’s Geography. We began [...]
