About Me

My Photo
A homeschooling mother of one teenager and a little. In 2001, I resigned from my 13 year position as a case manager to homeschool my oldest who was a preschooler at the time, and later a daughter who came along in 2005. This is by far the hardest job I've ever loved. My husband of nearly 20 years supports us as a fire fighter and EMT.

Crafty Early Learning

A few images from this week:


My six year daughter has discovered the joy of Beatrix Potter. This week she was drawing and narrating stories to me from her favorite,"The Tale of Squirrel Nutkin". Many narrations were altered versions of the story with minor tie-ins like a squirrel eating monster. Nothing like a bit of creative story telling from a six year old for entertainment.

I found a free downloadable mini-unit study with the illustrated "Tale of Squirrel Nutkin" included at CurrClick. This has a elementary level vocabulary word exercise suited for older children, about third grade and up. There is also a little nature study, sequencing, and reading comprehension.
