Curriculum

One of my favorite things to do during the holiday season is read books together with my children. Each year I love to get out our favorite holiday books and add a few new ones to the list. If you are looking for books to read to your children this holiday season, you will love these Christmas booklists for kids.

Autumn is here! Get into the season with this pumpkin unit study. For fall, I like to find ways to experience the season in nature, and by finding ways to incorporate it into other topics we study in our homeschool. And you know what? This way of learning is so much simpler and way more meaningful.

In my homeschool, we implement nature study year-round as it helps children engage with the outside world and sets a foundation for other learning. Learn about birds of prey with this owl pellet dissection activity and free birds of prey unit study download, plus dozens of activities to continue the fun.

Read my favorite Thanksgiving picture books for kids and children to celebrate the Thanksgiving holiday with this FREE book list. This book list includes books about Pilgrims, the Mayflower, Native Americans, Squanto, and other historical figures. These books coordinate with the unit study, A Treasured Thanksgiving.

I love the excitement of a new school year and the start of fall. One tradition in our homeschool is beginning the new school year with an apple unit study. In this blog post I am sharing our favorite apple unit study activities, including book lists, poems, classic art, science activities, experiments, and more.

I love homeschooling to the rhythm of the seasons as a focal point of our lessons. As autumn approaches, I get excited to explore books, foods, and nature projects for the season. In this blog post, I’m sharing our favorite books and activities for fall.

As a home educating mom, one of my primary goals is to introduce my children to rich, quality literature and watch the world come alive though living books. Treehouse Book Studies brings literature to life for kids. In this blog post I am sharing all about Treehouse Book Studies and how to use them in your homeschool.

There’s a window of time for young readers – that step between being read to and reading on their own. It’s when children are eager to blend sounds together and form words. I’m sharing how to recognize when your child is ready to read independently, offer tips to encourage them, and a free book list for beginner readers.

This year I am finally homeschooling all four of my children. This summer I spent a lot of time reflecting on what I want our family’s daily rhythm and homeschool to feel like with children in kindergarten, 2nd grade, 5th grade, and 7th grade. This blog details my curriculum choices for the 2025-26 homeschool year.
