Old Skooling It

February 24, 2011 By: amyswanderingcomment

I have been thinking about my word for the year as it relates to blogging, and have decided that keeping up with two blogs does not fit into the {rhythm} of my life.

Which is kind of obvious since I haven’t updated the other one since May.

!!!!!

BUT …

I have tons of great links to share, and little time.

SOOOO …

I am going back to the good ol’ days of posting everything on this blog.

All of the educational links that I post here, from now on, will be archived on Link & Think in those cute little green folders.

linkthink12

p.s. I will try to work my way through all of the folders and weed out the broken links, but don’t hold your breath :  )

our first week

August 27, 2010 By: amyswandering3 Comments

We had a great first week of school – I think we were all ready to see summer break go!

Here’s a look at what we did:

~Back to School Fun~

  • We had an I CAN’T funeral.
  • We read The Important Book and everyone wrote an Important Book page about themselves. (I will try to post them – they are really cute!)
  • The older kids filled out a This is Me! personal inventory, wrote a Bio Poem and did a handwriting analysis.
  • The younger kids made a Memory Book. (available to abcteach members)

~Science~

  • Everyone had to Draw a Scientist and see how many stereotypes they included.
  • These False Assumptions were the hit of the week! Anyone know where I can find some more?
  • The older kids did an M & M Lab while the younger just filled in a graph.
  • The older kids had fun with this Dogs & Turnips activity.
  • Lots of brainstorming went on in this Apple Observation.
  • We learned an easy way to remember the Days of Creation.

~Books~

  • Bring Me Some Apples and I’ll Make You A Pie: A story About Edna Lewis
  • There’s A Map on My Lap!

We’ll see how much fun is had next week when we are back to our full schedule HA HA!

roy the singing zebra

April 29, 2010 By: amyswanderingcomment

Little Prince has had the best time reading about Roy the Singing Zebra! He reads a part of the story out loud to me at the beginning of the week, and then does a worksheet each day. There are also interactive reading games to play.

And best of all? It’s free!

Ok, I take that back… the best of all is that my too-cool-for-baby-readers son asks to do this everyday!!

gardening with kids

March 2, 2010 By: amyswandering1 Comment

Spring is in the air and it is time to start planning our garden. We’ve just dabbled in gardening for the the past few years, but this year I am serious about it! (Anyone who knows me is LOL right now because I can’t stand the heat & don’t like to get my hands dirty. 🙂 ) Now that canned tomatoes creep me out, I need to figure out how to grow a bumper crop of tomatoes.

We are working our way through Exploring Creation with Botany and I want to get our kids involved with the garden experience. I will be using the two resources below.

Developing Christian Character Through Gardening is a free unit study offered by Roscommon Acres. It is a perfect fit for us right now!

Gardening Unit Study offered on Heart of the Matter

Stay tuned because I will be posting lots of gardening links – some for school and some for gardeners. Come back tomorrow if you are interested in gardening journals!
