Seasons at Home



Calling all homeschoolers young and (old)! Our children are running a story page in our new magazine, Seasons at Home. This is a chance to let our children have yet another place to share their homeschooling creativity. They can contribute art, their stories or poems, science experiments, it's just endless! Our children would love to hear from yours! Gifts are given to our chosen contributors; Each time we will try to choose a different age appropriate 'homeschool' gift. We have two books, one for a boy and one for a girl (selections this time are for ages 8-12; unabridged and moral!) When a homeschooling mom or dad contributes, we will give ad space if you have a business or a bio, if you don't. The School Room section is a great place for any mom or dad contribution. Click to see more about the magazine or see 'Write For Us'
You can also just email me at ripe4harvest@msn.com
Spring issue deadline is Dec. 20th.

Time Travelers; New World Explorers

I am just starting to really enjoy unit studies and lapbooks with the children.  I'm so bored with our regular session of reading and writing for history.  Whew, does that sound bad! 

I purchased Amy Pak's "History through the Ages" Unit Study on CD.  This is the New World Explorers unit.  I am totally impressed with how she has arranged this whole unit.  I can pick and choose where to start if my children already have covered some things and I just want to move on.  Areas that we didn't explore well enough in our reading with the explorers are there with nice projects!  For example Lesson 6 covers navigation, this is where I'm starting.  Well, she covers knots in lessons 1-5 and we have to do this.  Lesson 6 covers the Sextant, Astrolabe, Back Staff, Cross Staff and Compass.  Very nice masters are included!  Project pages and text pages are separated.  The design on the file is so easy and well thought out.  Master pages for projects are separated once into the projects.  She has definitions and instructions all the way through for the lap book. 

I wish I could give a better description here.  But WOW!  I'm going to buy her Colonial Unit just out.  I feel like I'm going backwards a bit but that is the great thing about homeschooling.  We can choose to re-study, move ahead and just take as long as we like with our learning.

Thanks Amy!!    Blessings Theresa
