In our home schools, we need to have a periodic assessment time. I’m not talking about counting the number of crayons or pencils you have. I’m talking about taking a good, hard look at what you’ve accomplished, how well you’re progressing toward your goals, and what your next steps will be.

When children sit down with pen and paper in hand after a school break; Christmas, summer, or the like, and they are encouraged to write a few paragraphs about what they did during their vacation, what will they say?

As a family who loves to celebrate the Christmas season, we were excited when the sounds of Christmas filled the air. Whether meandering through the grocery story or hearing children sing loudly (and joyfully!) through their lessons, the songs of Christmas excite our senses in ways no other music does. Welcome to our December Unit Study on the Little Drummer Boy!

Reading through Scripture with your young children may seem like a daunting task, particularly when they’re young. If your young children are anything like mine, they are really wiggly and giggly and you wonder if they ever listen to what you’re saying.

Most days you can find my daughters and I together. We spend time learning new things, playing with new toys, and simply hanging out with one another. Spending unprecedented amounts of time with my girls comes with the territory of being a homeschooling mom. It is easy to believe that because I spend so much time with my daughters there’s no doubt that I am giving them all they need and more.
