Categories Curriculum, HomeschoolLeave a Comment on The Good and The Beautiful || Primer K

It seems like The Good and The Beautiful is everywhere these days! So, I decided to try it out with my four year old. Thankfully, Jenny Phillips created a program perfect for children who are transitioning toward Kindergarten.

What Does the Course Cover? This course helps children (usually ages 4-6) master letters and their sounds. It also teaches long and short vowels, phonemic awareness, isolating sounds in a word, reading simple two and three letter words, sight words (I, a, the, see), counting from 10-15, fine motor skills, rhyming, sorting, order of events, and more. http://www.jennyphillips.com/course/l…

Help for an Overscheduled Homeschool

Categories Homeschool, Large FamilyLeave a Comment on Help for an Overscheduled Homeschool

When we first started homeschooling, I completely overscheduled our family.  I felt like we needed to use every curriculum, do every extracurricular activity, and constantly keep busy.  It was incredibly overwhelming, especially since I had five children until nine at the time.  What was I thinking?!

Here is some advice that I’ve gathered over the years to prevent this from happening again.  I hope it helps you!

I have five children and we needed a few extra things for the end of the school year.  We have a *huge* Dollar Tree in our town, where I found most of these items, but I always picked up a few things from Amazon (links below).

This is a collab with my friend, Madison Hopper. Make sure you check out her channel, too! Madison’s Video : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XGU8z…
