Christian homeschooling integrating Classical and Charlotte Mason principles
Set up: Grab the LEGO game board template at Homeschooling on a Dime. (I laminated it because I knew it’d get a lot of use in our home.) Then, collect a stash of 2×2 (square) LEGO pieces and have each child find a minifigure. Instructions: Child answers memory work question and then gets to roll […]
As we embark on our studies in astronomy, let’s revisit a method of notebooking that our children often request… Lapbooking, or notebooking with foldables. (Click here to see an assortment of lapbooks or foldable notebook pages we’ve completed.) Other homeschooling parents have asked why we would go through the trouble of using foldables to learn and […]

That right there is a poor excuse for a garden. Really, it’s a big bunch of dilapidated vegetable plants…. We have a variety of heirloom beans (complete with hole-y leaves), our one squash plant that still strives to give us a few squash per week, our tomatoes, (which brings me to the point of asking, […]
After memorizing the various combinations of letters for verb endings (conjugations), noun endings (declensions), and vocabulary words, we finally simplified this process and decided to learn our alphabet before moving to more vocabulary. This comes at the suggestion of our 4-year-old, who asked for a Latin alphabet coloring book, which I could not find on-line […]
