My children and I loved The Twenty-One Balloons, a whimsical adventure story! Alongside this imaginative, creative tale, we studied geography, hot air balloons, and more as we read. This blog post includes everything you need to know about the book and how to cultivate rich learning through literature.

Here is a peek at what nature study looks like in my homeschool. With children ages 4, 6, 9, and 11, I believe it is important that children first learn about nature in their world through the plants, animals, and trees where they live. This is a special practice to me, and something we have developed over the years.

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.
