I still can’t believe that Benji is going to be starting preschool in TWO WEEKS! I really am in complete denial about it. Jacob and Sarah were both begging for school and Ben has more of a “whatever” kind of feel about it. We will see how it goes! For our first year of preschool …
{REVIEW} The Good and the Beautiful Handwriting Doodles & Pre-Writing for Littles
We are BIG fans of The Good and the Beautiful handwriting workbooks. They are simple and pretty much entirely child led and teach beautiful handwriting. AND if your kiddos love coloring {mine are addicted} this will be a slam dunk for everyone involved! What age should I start? This course is super simple but I …
{REVIEW} The Good and the Beautiful Language Arts Level K Primer
This was our second time going through The Good and the Beautiful Level K Primer for language arts and it remains so good. Sarah loved her “kangaroo book” and could have done several lessons a day if I let her! Previous Experience Jacob blew through the Level K Primer during his kindergarten year. We “discovered” …
{PREP} The Good and the Beautiful Math Level K
This will be our second time going through The Good and the Beautiful Math Level K and I am so excited. We waited for this math with Jacob and it was completely worth it. He is solid in math and I attribute it completely to this program. And Sarah is SO EXCITED to begin! Since …
{PREP} The Good and the Beautiful Language Arts Level 3
Getting Level 3 ready to go this year was incredibly easy. In fact, I questioned about even writing this post because you truly do not have to prep ANYTHING for Level 3. But I thought I would share the little extras I am doing for Jacob this year in language arts. Step 1: Answer Key …

Third Grade Read Alouds
I really went back and forth this year about how I wanted to do read alouds. Now that Sarah is “officially” joining school this year, I wasn’t sure how to go about it. I have really loved this one-on-one time with Jacob and I wanted to experience it with Sarah, too. BUT, I also don’t …
Kindergarten Read Alouds
Sarah has been listening in on my read alouds with Jacob for YEARS and I am so excited to finally have this one-on-one time “officially” this year with her. Jacob’s kindergarten year I read completely different books – I don’t think a single book on my list this year was on my list for him! …

{REVIEW} The Good and the Beautiful Science – Arthropods
“We have all of us, men and animals, some special gift. One child takes to music; another is always modeling things out of clay; another is quick at figures. It is the same way with insects. One kind of bee can cut leaves; another builds clay houses; spiders know how to make webs.” – Jean-Henri …
