Word Families

So I can't claim this idea. I got it off of www.pinterest.com. But we tried it and its a huge success. My youngest daughter loved the fact that it was Easter Eggs and we are keeping them in an Easter basket. I have a long list of word families that we will keep adding once we master these really good. This has taken the place of our "sight word flashcards" for this week. We're ahead of the game compared to our public schools around here, so we're going to take a break on the flashcards and do these word family eggs to make sure we have got it down. My youngest daughter loves turning the eggs to make a new word and she's helping me do the eggs as well. So she loves trying to make the words.





We may even get creative with them and fit an egg hunt into this, especially around Easter time. AN EGG HUNT WAS HER IDEA...so we we will see how it develops. I'm just excited that she's excited about it.

Behavior Chart

I found a behavior chart image online that I really liked because it detailed, but I couldn't find a website to print one. So I made my own.

Solar System Bracelets

Well, it was that time again - to learn about the solar system, galaxies, how we get our seasons, the moon phases, etc. You can check out our Space Unit that we completed a couple years ago, when we covered space. Meant To Teach: What's out there in space??? Also, here is the solar system we completed a couple of years ago. Meant To Teach: Solar System Complete This time I decided to do something different with the girls. I might add, it was also much easier than our solar system above. I decided to do solar bracelets this time!

I Gave Up Control

I've not posted very much this year, probably because this year we've been so relaxed with our schooling and the girls have been very independent that there has really not been much that I could think to write on. Plus, with my girls being so much more independent I've been working more with my photography business. My oldest also has her first job and we just stay super busy. However, in looking back where I was a year and a half ago to today I started to think about our journey and where it's gotten us. In previous posts, you will have seen where we stopped doing school completely. My kids didn't stop learning, but the textbooks stopped. We gained SO much from that 7 months that are beyond all textbooks. You can read on our previous journey on the links below. We Quit School Child Led Learning in JUST the First Week What If We Trust? There's Value in Being Relaxed Today I decided that I wanted to talk about more than what this journey did with our s
