Languishing in Languages? ~ Foreign Language and Field Trips!
Posted 12:33 AM, Oct. 15, 2008
I'm sorry for the short hiatus from the article the past few weeks. We're back now in full swing to help you continue on your quest to learn a foreign language.
This past week, we went to a barnyard on a field trip. As an extra, the children and I reviewed Spanish and German words for each animal, and learned a short sentence: The _____________ says ___________. (The cow says moo, the dog says ruff, etc)
If you know a field trip is coming up, take a few moments to think of the items you will see. Make a list of ten words or fewer in your target language. Then create a short sentence with replaceable words that will help to give hints as to the meanings of the new words.
This way, you are able to incorporate your foreign language in a real-life way, make it immediately useable, and create motivation for memorization, all at the same time!
Suzanne Gose (known by her students as Señora Gose) is a homeschooling mother of five children. A former public school teacher, she currently teaches over 80 homeschooling students in weekly Spanish classes at Key Curriculum in Bryan, Texas. She is also the author of the Flip Flop Spanish Workbooks and other language teaching tools. You can see them at www.flipfloplearning.com and in the Schoolhouse Store.
Home Where They Belong ~ The Biblical Basis for Homeschooling Christian Children ~ Pt. 2 ~ Homeschooling: A Revival
Posted 12:27 AM, Oct. 15, 2008
Homeschooling: A Revival “He decreed statutes…He commanded our forefathers to teach their children, so the next generation would know them, even the children yet to be born, and they in turn would tell their children. Then they would put their trust in God and would not forget His deeds but would keep His commands.” (Psalm 78:5-7) Many homeschool parents look upon the rising numbers of homeschoolers in the It will take a revival to reverse these trends. Trends set by those of influence in the public school leadership who think little children who, having been influenced by the love and care of their mothers, are “sick” because they hold godly values. Homeschoolers understand this undermining of God’s plan for the Christian family. Not only are they building their children’s education on the foundation of God’s commands (Deut. 6:4-7, above), but they are creating and cultivating a Biblical mind-set in their children. As Chris Klicka says in his book, Home Schooling – The Right Choice, “[H]ome schooling parents, aware of the anti-God curriculum and complete lack of absolute values in the public schools, cannot sacrifice their children to such a system[5].” Because of the command of God in Deut. 6:4-7, how can we not see that God requires truth be taught to our children…by the parents. We know that God specifically says that, regarding His commandments (or “words” in the NASV), parents are to talk of them all through the day: sitting at home…walking along the road…when we lie down and when we get up. How can parents do that if they are separated from their children and teens a minimum of six to eight hours a day, five days a week? That doesn’t even include time spent on the bus. Parents are sending their children to a place that does not teach God’s thoughts, but man’s thoughts, for 35 hours a week. Can any thinking, rational parent conclude that all will be cured with a mere one or two hours in church on Sunday morning to turn the tide of bombardment of daily indoctrination of evolutionary theory (taught as fact, of course), of negative peer pressure, of the outlawing of the mention of God – how much more the Name of Jesus? But, our culture and society has certainly shown us that, yes, so many parents are simply conditioned by our culture to believe it. TO BE CONTINUED NEXT WEEK...

Taming the Chaos ~ Make a Mini Kitchen Guide
Posted 12:43 AM, Oct. 14, 2008
In my travels around the blogosphere this week, I came upon a fantastic idea! It is organized, cute, simple, customizable and affordable! (What more can a chaos tamer ask?) Kitchen Moments ~ Fresh Pressed Apple Cider
Posted 12:34 AM, Oct. 14, 2008
We love apple cider. Our children get so excited for the beginning of fall because that means we "get to" make cider again! A few weeks ago, we went to my in-laws house to grind and press many, many apples into cider (which now resides in our freezer). Have you ever seen a cider press? Have you ever tasted it strait from the press? If not, let me take you on a pictorial walk-through on what things are and how to make that delicious juice we call apple cider.
  I don't know what the commercial cider companies use, but we have always collected and used what are called "deer apples'". All this means is that the apples are not that great for human consumption and are best for feeding the deer. Because the apples we collect are never sprayed, we soak them in bleach water to kill off any undesirables that could be on the apples.  As you can see, the grinder is mounted on the side of the platform and the wheel is what moves the "teeth" inside the grinder. There is an opening underneath the grinder where a container is put to catch all the ground up apples.   Second is the press. You put the ground up apples into the mesh-lined barrel and then cover the top of the barrel with the mesh.    You put the top of the barrel down over the mesh top and then you twist the rod down into the hole at the top of the lid. This is where the pressure comes from. The tighter you twist, the more the top is pushed down and the cider is pressed out of the apples.  At the base of the press, there are sides all around the edge to catch the cider. The hole at the front of the base is how the cider comes out and is collected in a container or bowl underneath.  You need to strain the cider through a cheese cloth. We have the cheese cloth held with clothes pins over a pitcher so you are not having to struggle with keeping the cheese cloth on the top.  Have a taste and enjoy!  If you grind and press different kinds of apples, you will have some cider which is tart and some which is sweet. We always mix them at the end so as not to have extreme tartness or sweetness. Also, cider can turn into "hard cider" (which is fermented cider) fairly quickly. It is best to refrigerate or freezer promptly. If you are going to freeze cider, be sure and leave a space from the top of your container for the cider to expand. We usually don't pasteurize our cider, but if you want to, all you need to do is to bring it up to 161 degrees for 15 seconds and then cool it to 40 degrees as quick as possible.

Are you looking for a little extra money and a chance to work from home? Craft Corner ~ Super Easy Mittens
Posted 1:44 AM, Oct. 13, 2008
This project is for some super easy mittens.
SUPPLIES: Fabric (I'm using polar fleece, but you can also use old sweaters, sweatshirts, etc.) Sheet of paper Marker Pins Scissors Needle Thread
To begin:
Lay your hand on a sheet of paper with fingers close together and the thumb sticking way out to the side. Trace around your hand, make sure you leave enough paper on the sides for a half-inch seam allowance.
Draw around the hand outline, again, going out about a half-inch all the way around for the seam allowance.
Cut out the pattern on the second line.
Fold the fabric you are using double, right sides together. Pin the pattern onto the fabric.
Cut through the fabric, around the pattern.
Remove the pattern and pin fabric together, still with right sides together.
Here is a fast and effective way to make a knot on the end of your thread. First thread the eye of the needle with the thread. Take the end of the thread and cross over the needle leaving a little tail, hold down against the needle with your thumb.
Now take the thread that leads off from where you are holding it down, and wrap around the needle several time (the more times you wrap it the larger the knot). Then hold the wrapped thread with your thumb also. Pinching the wrapped needle between your thumb and finger, with the other hand pull the needle out through the wrapped thread. Continue pinching and pulling until it won't go any further. TA-DA!! Knotted thread.
Beginning at the cuff, hand stitch all the way around the mitten, only coming in about a 1/4" for the seam. Continue all the way around making very, very small and close stitches. When you get back to the cuff, leave it open across the cuff and knot the thread again to finish it. Trim the threads.
Take the scissors and clip the corners and curves so the fabric will lay nicely when you turn it right side out. Be very careful not to accidently clip through the stitching.
Now, turn it right side out and smooth it out.
You have now made yourself a beautiful and easy mitten. If you'd like a pair, just repeat all the steps above! LOL!
I'd like to apologize for not posting any craft ideas for the last several weeks. The easy carefree days of summer had apparently spoiled me. However, you can expect some wonderful craft ideas again. It's taken me a little while to get back into the swing of doing school again. Between that and the activities we've been doing with our local homeschool group and babysitting my beautiful baby grandson once a week or so, I'd been just a little distracted. However, with the holidays right around the corner, I will be posting some great activities for you to do with your children.
As for this craft posted here, if your child would like, they could make these for gifts (of course, be sure to trace hands of a comparable sized person as the recipient), or made much smaller and used for adorable ornaments. You could also embellish these with buttons, patches, and so on. The possibilities are endless!
I'm Dianna, and we are homeschooling our three children for our 5th year. We are having a great time with it and are so happy we have this right. What a blessing our children are, I couldn't imagine sending them away to strangers for the best part of their day. Homeschooling suits us to a T! Featured Blogger ~ HomeschoolCrew

Posted 12:29 AM, Oct. 10, 2008
Hello! I'm Heather and I'm going to be your blog host for Special Words for Special Needs. I hope to give you uplifting encouragement and practical advice to those of us with special kids. I would like to take a moment and define special needs. This term gets such a bad rap from it's usage in the public schools. I see special needs as children that learn outside the "norm". That means a genius or a mentally impaired child. Physical, emotional, and medical difficulties that interfere with learning. Chronic long term issues or acute short term issues.
As a first article and with it still early fall lets talk about starting off homeschooling our special kids. Or perhaps you began your year and problems are cropping up. I am a big fan of know where you are so you can know where you are going. Other words get a base line knowledge of your child's skills and then set about making goals to shoot for. Here are a few steps that might help. 1. Make an assessment of education, physical, and emotional skills. This can be a formal assessment with the local school system or hired professionals. Beware if you use the school system you maybe inviting long term involvement with the school system into your homeschooling program. Check your laws carefully before contacting them, if that is the what you choose. Also, depending on your insurance, professional assessments can be expensive. Shop around, check references, be a savvy shopper! You may also choose to assess your child's progress at home. There are myraids of milestone charts to be found on the internet, Google "milestone charts" or "education milestones". This is your baseline, the foundation of the year. 2. How does my child learn? Now that you have a baseline, which areas were the best? Did your child learn best with art? Then perhaps they are a visual learner. If your child can remember songs off the radio easily, then they may be an audio learner. Does your child remeber best while bouncing in their chair or hands in the sand reproducing erosion? Then they may be a kinetic learner. Take their learning style and use it! Make their strengths the focus of their schooling not the weaknesses. By this I do not mean forget their weaknesses. I mean develop a feeling of accomplishment in education. 3. Take the time to write out a HIEP (home individual education plan) This can be something very formal such as, you are working with the school system and have an IEP with them, to less formal for mom and dad's eye's only. I say write it out so that you have something to refer back to in three months. Don't let your hard work of assessing and noting learning styles go to waste. Write out where you are. Write out the best and worst methods of learning. Write out the goals for the coming year. "I would like Grace to be reading simple 3 and 4 letter words." Write out how you intend to get there. "I will reinforce the alphabet. Use Horizon's Phonic workbooks. We will use flash cards with simple words on them since she is so visually oriented." Write out how you know that you have accomplished your goal. "Grace can read a "Dick and Jane" book to me." It may seem like a lot to do. I have found that when I sit down and write out my goals like I have outlined, the pressure is off. Homeschooling a child with special needs can be a pressure cooker. If I can in any way release some of that pressure I am willing to do it. I have also found that my husband really appreciated the goals list. The HIEP helped him get on the same page with us and he was better able to assist and cheerlead when I needed it. 4. Finally take it easy on yourself and your child. If you have high goals set your sights on them. But do not let the drive to bring things up to the standard hurt your relationship. Some child are learning but they must learn slowly to fully understand. If you push on before they are ready, you are courting disaster and most likely frustration. Keep your family and life priorities straight. "I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth." 3 John 4 May God bless your homeschool with abundance and joy! Peace my friends. Heather lives in West Virginia. She and her husband have been homeschooling their 5 children for 7 years. Due to a genetic disorder their children have multiple special needs. Living life to the fullest for the glory of God is their goal! Visit Heather's page at www.homeschoolblogger.com/gfcfmomofmany/ Homeschooling Only One ~ Big Doings!
Posted 12:26 AM, Oct. 10, 2008
Sorry I missed last week's column. Suddenly it was Friday! (...but wasn't it still Thursday? Nope, I was totally off on my days! Yikes!) I have been so very busy in the last couple of weeks and now can announce the Great Move! I've been moving HOOville (message board for those who Homeschool Only One, affectionately called HOOville). It's a totally new format, so there has been (and still is) a LOT to learn. I'm using phpbb 3.0 instead of websitetoolbox.com, which I still can heartily recommend. I've revamped the title of Parent Forums and the Forums to reflect the idea of "HOOville" as a village. There is the Town Square where one would introduce themselves and at The Serendipity Tea House we do all our chit chat and general discussions. There are also some private areas which we call Our Sanctuary (members only). The member ranks at present are according to a medieval list of gentle ladies (starting with Peasant Woman to Gentlewoman, on up to Baroness, Countess, Princess, and Queen). We've not had any HOOdads join us, but if they do, we will give them their own honorary titles. They will be most welcome and I can even open a forum just for them. I hope if you are homeschooling only one student, you'll come check HOOville out and join us! Lots of good fellowship and support is to be found there. It's a very nice group to be a part.

The Littlest Learners ~ An Introduction to Your Littlest Learners
Posted 12:08 AM, Oct. 9, 2008
I am very honored to be given the opportunity to write for the Front Porch about our Littlest Learners. Typically between the ages of two and five, our Littlest Learners come to us full of demands, energy and questions while being short on attention spans. They can be exhausting, exasperating and invigorating---all rolled into one. Yet, as many seasoned homeschoolers will agree, the preschool years are often looked back upon as being the most memorable and enjoyable to teach.
As your child's parent you are the most motivated person available to teach your child. No other person on earth knows your child better, desires more for them, or is more committed to them. There is also no other person on earth to whom your child most wants to please. You can use this to your advantage in your homeschool. You do not need an early childhood degree in order to properly prepare your Littlest Learner for a successful academic future. Yet, when you are done, you will be as knowledgeable, if not more so, as someone with a Master's Degree in Early Childhood Education. There is a lot to be said for hands-on learning and that is also true for your Littlest Learner! If you are new to homeschooling and only have Little Learners in your homeschool your needs for this column may be mostly educational. You may be wondering about the nuts and bolts about successfully implementing a preschool program in your home and providing enough hands-on learning opportunities to spark your child's imagination and interest so as to develop a life long love of learning. If you have older children in your homeschool, your needs for this column may be more practical. You may be wondering how on earth you are supposed to teach anyone effectively with Little Learners running around your homeschool! I hope to address both areas in this column as regularly as I do in my own homeschool each day. I welcome your questions and comments so that I may better serve you in this weekly column. As an eclectic homeschooler I regularly use a variety of resources and teaching philosophies in my homeschool. Here are a few of my favorite books on teaching your Littlest Learners. Most of the books listed below should be available at your local public library. Creative Family Times: Practical Activities for Building character in your preschooler. Connie & Allen Hadidian & Linday and Will Wilson This decevingly thin book is packed with information that can potentially change your homeschool. It provides practical ideas for building Christian character in your preschool children in the areas of obedience, spiritual growth and family unity. Other tips include: training your child to regularly spend time playing alone (even if they have siblings) to teach creativity, contentment and obedience and "sit time" where your child learns to sit with a book to teach self-control, patience,and obedience. There are many more tips like this that also carry parental benefits such as not having to entertain your child constantly, or being able to go to an appointment and have your child sit and wait quietly with a book. Its an encouraging book that will no doubt give you a few new ideas to implement in your home while focusing your attention on the importance of starting character training with your little ones. Teach me to do it myself: Montessori activities for you and your child by Maja Pitamic Filled with photographs and illustrations this hands-on guide provides a wide variety of activities you can enjoy at home with your child even if you are not sure you want to base your homeschool on the Montessori approach. Small Beginnings: First steps to prepare your child for lifelong learning. by Barbara Curtis Professional teacher, home educator, and Christian mother of twelve, Barbara Curtis, shares her experience teaching toddlers in this informative and encouraging book. While playing, doodling, and just being a kid your children can also be practicing muscle control, concentration, orderliness and other basics that will serve them later in life. This book shows you how to make the most of this precious developmental time. Mommy, Teach me to do it myself by Barbara Curtis Part of a series this user-friendly guide is filled with hands-on Montessori exercises that will release your child's independence, sense of order, concentration, self-control and other important basic skills using regular household materials. The Big Messy Art Book by Maryann Kohl Not your typical preschool art book, this book explores art on a grander scale with children using their entire bodies to create art and using unusual (and a tad messier, but easy to clean up) art supplies. Preschool Art by Maryann Kohl My favorite resource for art activities with young children as it focuses on the process and not the product. There is no wrong way to complete the activity. The book starts with a list of "the basics" ( basic art experiences most preschoolers want to experience) and then continues with seasonal art activities. There are over 200 activities listed in this book in four categories: drawing, painting, scultpting with dough and clay, and crafts/constructing. This book is geared towards children 3-4 years old, but obviously you will want to review to decide what your child is ready for. Slow and Steady Get me Ready by June Oberlander Offers 260 weekly developmental activities from birth to age 5. It is written by a retired kindergarten teacher and offers you the when, how and what of early childhood education including an inexpensive phonetic approach for reading and spelling. Before Five in a Row by Jane Claire Lambert A favorite among many homeschoolers that is actually not a curriculum but a "treasury of creative ideas to inspire learning readiness" for children ages 2-4 based on 24 classic children's stories. Each "unit" includes a bible reference. Hands-on Science Preschool- Kindergarten Carson-Dellosa Publishing Company Includes activities and reproducibles that cover weather, parts of the body, health and hygiene, days, months, seasons, living and non-living things, senses, and more! Mudpies to Magnets: A preschool Science Curriculum by Robert A. Williams, Robert E. Rockwell, and Elizabeth A. Sherwood Features 112 easy to use science experiments that provide direct hands-on learning activities for young children. The Giant Encyclopedia of theme activities for children 2 to 5 by Gryphon House Over 600 activities grouped by popular themes. A good resource for when you are "stuck" and not sure what to teach next. Also a good idea generator for unit study topics. Do you have any favorites that I didn't include in my list above? Please share them with us in the comments section!
