This past week we have been having a lot of fun exploring Volcano's. In fact we learned a lot more this week than just the letter V. Let's just say Science was a top priority for these boys. Here Little B is putting together his own V book. I think he did a great job writing all of his V words. This Volcano learning pack was free from Me and Marie. We read Volcano early reader books, and Magic school bus science books. Then we set out to experiment. This is an activity … [Read more...]

The Boys Top 10 Books
Here it is! The boys top ten books that we read in 2013. Since we started our homeschooling for the year in July we have read over 80 books together.

Homeschool Room with a View
This past September while everyone was posting all of their wonderful school room pictures, I was preparing for our new little blessing. I was busy organizing the boys schooling, and trying to get as much prepared before the baby came as possible. This way I could enjoy the baby days and still be able to continue with our schooling.
