SchoolhouseTeachers.com - Your One-Stop Homeschooling Resource!

Photobucket

As you all may or may not know, I am currently in my first year of homeschooling. My daughter is in Pre-K right now and I cannot even begin to tell you what a wonderful privilege it is to be able to teach my own child. I am shocked at how quickly she is learning things and how well she retains the information. At first, homeschooling was difficult because Hannah is VERY smart but doesn't want you to think she is smart. So, she made things a bit challenging at first. If you are new to homeschooling (like me), or you are a veteran homeschooler then I have a wonderful website to tell you about today!

SchoolhouseTeachers.com (a division of The Old Schoolhouse Magazine) is an online resource for teachers that can aid in finding a great curriculum or help give your child "busywork". I have a two year old who wants to be involved in everything...especially when he sees his sister being taught fun things. So, right now trying to keep him busy and out of my hair while I try to teach Hannah is my challenge.
This was one reason I really loved this website...in their Read and Play Pre-K Activities section, they have tons of printable activity sheets for toddlers! I was really excited when I saw this because my son loves to color. I can literally give him several sheets to color and he will sit there for the entire duration of Hannah's schooling and just color quietly. This is the month of December, and so I could choose to print sheets of Christmas-themed coloring pages. I was also really happy to see that the Bible verses used were KJV...that is awesome!!
Today before Hannah began her schooling, I printed out several sheets and sat them down at the table. They were so excited to see that we had something new to do! Having these coloring pages was wonderful. Jacob and Hannah were able to stay occupied and I was able to get some things done while they colored.
When they were done, of course we had to hang the artwork on the fridge. Don't they look so thrilled to have fridge-worthy artwork? They could not wait for daddy to come home so they could show him their coloring pages. :) I love to see them so excited and having fun learning at the same time!
Because Hannah is just starting Pre-K, we are not quite ready for spelling yet. But, I was really happy to see the great spelling resources that SchoolhouseTeachers.com offers. I also like how they give you a structured schedule. The picture above shows a sheet that I printed out. Basically, this lesson will be teaching the child how to add an "s" to make a word plural. You can quiz the child on when to use an "s" and what it will do to a word.
Speaking of structure, I am not a very organized person and often need a regimented curriculum to stay on schedule. While perusing SchoolhouseTeachers.com I came across some wonderful checklists that can be downloaded and personalized for your individual needs. I love this!! This would really help me to stay organized and structured.

Along with these wonderful resources for homeschooling preschoolers, you can also find a plethora of resources, teacher helps and curriculum for homeschooling your older children as well. Subscribing to this wonderful website costs just $5.95 per month and your first month will only cost you $1.00! I would say it is definitely a good investment for any homeschooler.

As a new member of SchoolhouseTeachers.com, I am really looking forward to exploring the site more in the coming weeks and months. I am so new at homeschooling, I need all the help I can get and this will definitely give me some wonderful tools to make my job a bit easier. Check it out today!

Cafe Press Review

Are any of you married to a computer guy ? Do you lovingly call him a "geek" sometimes? (my hand is raised here...LOL!) My husband is the most wonderful man in the world. He is funny, sincere, loving and VERY handy with the computer. I have issues sometimes with coding and am often heard calling "Honey? Can you come look at my blog? I don't know how to fix this!!!!" And, my charming prince comes to rescue me. My darling is going to be 31 in a week and I am SO excited to be able to celebrate another birthday with him. He also shares a birthday with our daughter which makes the day twice as fun. :) She has been talking about her birthday for WEEKS and cannot wait! This next review item is for him so if you know him (and I am hoping he doesn't read my blog for the next week :/) don't tell him about this!!!!!!!! If you are looking for perfect, unique and personalized gifts for someone special in your life I will tell you that after this post, you...

Sidral Mundet Mexican Soda Review & Giveaway {CLOSED}

***GIVEAWAY CLOSED*** Sooo, with summer coming to a dangerously quick end we are really trying to cook out more. We know that when the leaves start to fall and the snowflakes come that BBQ season will be over. I have always thought that it would be fun to cook out in the winter, with snow and all! Who knows, it may come to that one of these winters. Whenever we cook out I love to enjoy some sort of soda with my food. It just seems to "make" the BBQ and is also refreshing. It is even more of a treat because it is not something that we do often (drink soda, that is). When drinking soda, I don't always look for the natural stuff. Let's face it...sometimes it is easier to just grab whatever is closest and forget about natural goodness. I am bad about this. Finding healthier options for soda is always a goal of mine...although I am not always good at it. :) Today, I am going to introduce you to a Mexican soda that will change the way you think of soda.
