  • It really is the most wonderful time of the year.. It really is the most wonderful time of the year...if you are a homeschool mom, of course! Ah, researching, carefully curating, and purchasing new curricula - you are my people if you love this part of homeschooling too. 🫶
​
​Through the years, I have reviewed and researched a lot of different curricula. If you are looking for reviews for particular things, always know that you can DM me, and I will shoot you a link to a review if I have one. Or I can also point you to someone I know and trust if I don't have a review for whatever you are looking for. 💁🏻‍♀️
​
​And today, I want to show you some happy homeschool mail we just received! 👏🏼 If you are looking for hands-on science for any age, we love these Science Unlocked Kits from Home Science Tools. (Here is a link to a review that can tell you all about them: https://gracegrowedify.com/2021/06/14/homeschool-science-kit/ or DM me, and I can shoot you this link.)
​
​Science Unlocked Kits are super flexible and incredibly easy to use. They are also perfect for any age! (My high schooler just finished the Crack the Code kit, that one was so interesting!)
​
​My younger two (boys almost 7 + 8) are excited to dive into this new kit - Keys to Life: Food, Water, Shelter, and Space.
​With this exciting hands-on kit, they will:
​
​•Observe an ecosphere
​•Test different amounts of water to see how much a seed needs to sprout and germinate
​•Dissect an owl pellet (are you even a homeschooler if you don't dissect an owl pellet at least once??) 😆
​•Design and build animal homes
​•Learn about photosynthesis and plant life cycles
​
​There are so many different kits to choose from to match whatever you are learning this year! Oh, AND right now, if you buy one kit - you get the 2nd one 50% OFF!!🤩

    One of the things that has blessed me in various s One of the things that has blessed me in various seasons of homeschooling is being able to fellowship with other homeschool moms. Even though I am an introvert and rarely make social plans, I occasionally enjoy a good conversation with friends. It’s one of those things where you don’t realize how much you needed that interaction until it’s over. Fellowshipping with other homeschool moms always feeds the soul, and I feel lighter after a friendly get-together. 💖⁣
⁣
But, with all the children and busyness in our lives, how can we be intentional about fellowshipping together? After leading a local homeschool group for almost six years, I have a few ideas for you. Some successful gatherings didn’t take much effort, yet they blessed many of us.⁣

    Science, it's one of those love-it-or-hate-it subj Science, it's one of those love-it-or-hate-it subjects in homeschooling. 😬 Teaching homeschool science and facilitating experiments at home might make you feel a little overwhelmed. But there are other exciting ways to teach and learn about science together at home, and this microscopic world study is a great example!💁🏻‍♀️

You can have a great time with hands-on learning about science without any mess or experiments. 🔬Technically, you don't even need a microscope! 

Nana @chalkpastelart has a new science series out, and it will complement your homeschool studies so well. We loved combining art and science this past week and think you will too!

    If there is anything that I could convey to homesc If there is anything that I could convey to homeschool parents that are afraid to homeschool through high school, it would be this - do not be intimidated. We have homeschooled from the beginning, and each stage is unique and has its challenges. I have loved so many stages and years past, and I love the high school years too! So don't give up! There are still so many creative ways to learn together and memories you can make. 📚🎨📖🫖

Being able to enjoy quality literature with my teen is something that I will treasure forever. We are reading through Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice now, and there are so many creative learning activities that you can incorporate! And I promise they are far from boring. I have a list of ideas to share with you, along with @chalkpastelart Nana's dreamy new Jane Austen art lessons, that you HAVE to do if you are reading or studying Jane Austen. 

🤩Go take a look at Nana's new lessons, and I hope you are encouraged by our ideas to study excellent literature by the adored Jane Austen!🎨📖🫖{ref] https://www.chalkpastel.com/jane-austen-for-high-school/?ref=206

    We have a new nature study curriculum to share wit We have a new nature study curriculum to share with you! It's perfect for family-style learning and will help you experience nature consistently together. Plus, like me, you can finally have a reason to get Anna Comstock's Handbook of Nature Study! 😉😂

But seriously, now is a great time to get committed to venturing outdoors. Especially if you are an introverted momma and forget to spend time in nature each week, I can easily forget to get outside because I love being at home so much. Lol So, a quality nature study curriculum helps keep me vested. 

Plus, I know from experience my whole family does better with homeschooling when we have enjoyed outdoor time too. Better attitudes from all of us, myself included! 

Anyway, I have a post with all of the details to share with any of you who may be looking to add nature study to your homeschool days or weeks consistently.💁🏻‍♀️

    Homeschooling is such a unique privilege for Chris Homeschooling is such a unique privilege for Christian families, and it is such a sweet blessing to pass along the Word of God to our children. We have, as parents, an incredible opportunity to mold our children into disciples for Jesus, and educating at home is a powerful tool for that. And what better way to experience personal discipleship with our children at home than to study the Disciples of Christ.💗
​
​Now is a fantastic time to plan this study as we prepare for Easter! 🎨YOU ARE AN ARTiST has some incredible NEW art lessons that will pair with your study of Christ and His Disciples. We are so excited about this! We are just getting started with Nana's Disciples of Christ Art Lesson series, and we can't wait to dive in further; we sure hope you join us!
​
​✝️Head over to read all these ideas for creating an entire unit study around The Disciples of Christ. We have included books, biographies, overviews, planners, fast facts, and more inside the I Drew It Then I Knew It New Testament Companion Guide.
​
​✔️Plus, you can see my ideas for incorporating Character Training, History, Genealogy, Hebrew, Math, Geography, and even The Chosen Series - all as you study Jesus and His Twelve Disciples.
