Math Resources for 7th grade

I’ll say it right up front. Math is not our favorite subject. Math is the subject I find hardest to be relaxed eclectic with. Math is the subject I try to find someone else to teach so I can stay as far away from it as possible. With that said… we’re getting better. I’ve pulled … Continue reading

Homeschool Astronomy Resources

It’s that time of year again. The time when I start researching and finding resources for the upcoming year. It’s one of my favorite times of year, because I absolutely LOVE researching. Problem is, a month from now I won’t be able to find that extensive list I made in the purple sparkly notebook, or … Continue reading

The Science of Questions

how we do science

My kiddo loves science, and I love that she loves science. I want, more than anything, to foster this love, which means I’m willing to do just about anything in the name of science. This includes buying “curriculum”. Which is hilarious, because every single time I buy a curriculum, we start, and then veer off … Continue reading

Poetry Tea Time: So Much More Than Just Poems

We do Poetry Tea Time on Tuesdays, because… alliteration. 🙂 We’ve been skipping our tea times a bit lately, which is sad, because they are a well loved part of our week.

Budget: A Real World Math Game Review

Yesterday I reviewed Grocery Cart, another real life math game. Last night, after a long day working at the barn, Hanna and I sat down with dinner and Budget. I’ll be honest, I don’t love this game as much as Grocery Cart, but it’s a good game, and there’s TONS of learning going on. Here’s … Continue reading

Grocery Cart: A Real Life Math Game Review

real life math games

I picked up PayDay not long ago, thinking it would be a great way to learn some life skills and do a little math. Wow, was I wrong. I ended up hating PayDay, with gameplay like “pay your friend $100 because it’s their birthday,” even if you had to take out a bank loan. Not … Continue reading
