33 Freebies to Teaching Spelling!
Don't forget: Tomorrow is the last day to enter to win Jonathan Park Audio Adventure!
Spelling is one of those things that, for me, often has fallen into the category of How much? How often? What do I really need to teach here? There are some children who, simply from reading a lot of good literature, seem to intuitively learn and apply the rules of good spelling.
And then there are the ones who don't. If your child falls into this latter category, here are 33+ fabulous and free resources for improving his or her spelling.

Today's post is a subject that is near and dear to my heart. From the first moment I heard about the idea of Nature Journaling, I was captivated by it. All of my life, I have considered myself to be a person uninterested in science. I mean, I enjoy a good experiment or science museum trip as well as the next person, but science definitely doesn't get me excited the way history or literature does.
Then I discovered nature journaling. And the heavens opened. Suddenly I was John Audobon reincarnated.

How to Teach Preschool for FREE
There are only 3 days left to enter the Foundational Phonics giveaway!
With the beginning of a new school year rapidly approaching, I realized recently that I *really* need to get busy with homeschool planning!
This year I am tackling my most important planning first: Fun stuff for my littles. With a tenth grader and two eight graders in the house, I feel like the majority of my time and energy often goes into the "serious" business of career exploration, high school credits, and pursuing weightier subjects. Planning fun educational things for the little ones is often last minute and doesn't receive as much of my attention as I would like. So, this year I've decided to start with my littlest guy (who'll be starting preschool this year) and working my way up.

Do you ever find a product that you LOVE and just have to share it with others? That's how we feel about Foundational Phonics from Little Seedling Press!
When our good friend Ariel told us about a phonics-based reading curriculum she was writing for her children and sister's children, we were immediately interested. After seeing the curriculum in its completed form several years later, we were impressed!  On the 3rd Day of Homeschool the Sisters gave to me.............. A Guide to Research & Prepare an Oral Presentation! Here we are on the 3rd day of our 12 days of freebies and giveaways to get you ready for a new school year. We hope you've enjoyed it so far!

A FREE World History Timeline Notebook
Welcome back to The 12 Days of Homeschool! We still have 10 more days of freebies, awesome resources and giveaways! Speaking of giveaways, our TruthQuest History Guide Giveaway is running for two more days. This is our absolute favorite history curriculum and will work perfectly with our FREE World History Timeline. Be sure to enter before you leave!
During my 10+ years of homeschooling, I have tried many different styles of history lapbooks, unit studies and timelines, most of which were abandoned at some point in the course of each school year because they were just too much. Too much cutting. Too much gluing. Too much journaling. Too much trying to make sure the timeline figure was matched exactly with the timeline date and getting frustrated when our history book date didn't match the date on our timeline. Too much everything! We like to keep things simple here. Simple for busy mamas and simple for the kiddos.
Sisters with a System received a free copy of TruthQuest History: Beginnings from TruthQuest History for the purpose of this giveaway. We have personally used this curriculum for three years and all opinions regarding the awesomeness of it is entirely our own!

A FREE TruthQuest History Guide
Welcome to Day 1 of The 12 Days of Homeschool! Today we kick off 12 days of freebies, awesome resources and giveaways! It is our hope that you will be greatly inspired and encouraged, homeschooling mama, as you begin another year of homeschool. (By the way, this whole kick-off would have been much more dramatic if Rachel had agreed to my idea of dressing up and singing the 12 Days of Homeschool on video. But no......apparently that was cheesy and embarrassing. Feel free to leave a comment letting Rachel know that my idea would have been epic!)
First let me say that, although I am a long-time Amazon Prime member (would NOT want to be without it!), this is the very first time I have shopped the Amazon Prime Day sales. When I received an email from a fellow blogger talking about Amazon Prime Day deals, I was curious. I tend to be a person who is skeptical of sale signs and "deals" because the "deals" or sales usually aren't steep enough to tempt me. (And you thought Rachel was the frugal one! ha,ha) Anyway, I clicked over to Amazon and read through the Prime Day promotions beginning Monday, July 16th. Many of them were the typical electronic gadgets-- most of which did not interest me nor did I think would interest our readers.
Then I saw a promotion saying that STEM toys would be going on sale 20-40% off for Prime Day. I decided to check it out and I'm so glad I did! I found some of my family's favorite, most-beloved educational toys for, not only 20-40% off, but upwards of 50-70% off!!
