Learning Log for February 2012

Hey everybody,

how did the month of February treat you?

Following Christina Pilkington's lead I decide to change the way I keep a record on my children's learning. Instead of just writing down the books they read, I decide to compile a log of all the activities they do every month. As eclectic learners, unschoolers or relaxed homeschoolers (whatever you would like to call us) we do our learning in many different ways. We do very little desk work, you know, copy work, worksheets or repetitive work, that most time benefits the teacher but not the student. Whatever desk work my children do is mostly initiated by them and there are no rules or time limit to it.

My children's age go from 9 to 2 years old. Two are independent readers but I still read to them all every day for at least an hour. I will add some links to the books or DVDs/ videos I thought most interesting. But the ones that don't have a link you can find them just by Googling the name provided. If you have questions, feel free to email or leave me a comment. So here is a log of what we did during the month of February:

Websites

The Titanic Attraction to celebrate the anniversary of 100 years of the sinking of the Titanic.
Moneyville Teaches about money, earning and saving money. Interactive website, children can create their own families and vacations destinations and more.
Cool Math Games -

Audio Files

Your Story Hour

Courageous  We watched this movie at our church one Sunday evening and then we borrowed it from our library the next day. So we watched it again.

DS6 loved the movie and the funny scenes.

Activities/ Field Trips/ In Home play

* Circus - the children created shows based on a recent visit to the Ringling Brothers circus.
* We watched machines dig and fill up the foundation to build a new house behind our house.
* Wee Sing Sing-Alongs
* Wee Sing and Play
* My oldest children, DD9 and DS6 took 2 Introductory KARATE classes. Each class lasted about 30 minutes and they had to memorize student pledges. They learned new vocabulary, stances, kicks and defense movements. They loved it!! So they are now taking Karate classes twice a week.
* Ballet classes once a week.
* Art class - we learned about primary, second and tertiary colors by creating a color wheel. We also investigated unusual colors by using crayons and coloring pencils.
* I perused a Unit Study called Basic Physical Science (it was free!) from CurrClick WEbsite to introduce Chemisty to my children. What my surprise when they already knew and could explain to me about Matter, physical and chemical changes, physical states, elements and atoms. Now, where did my DD9 and DS6 learned about all that if I didn't teach it to them?
* We made pineapple juice simple syrup at home. We watched how maple syrup was made in a video and then I came up with my own recipe and we made a syrup with pineapple juice, water, brown sugar and Cinnamon sticks. The children filmed the experience. We talked about chemical reactions, physical changes, molecules and more.
* Drawing, coloring, sketching;
* pretending to be a pack of wolves; or horses, or bumpers cars using their Jumping Balls.
* RV show - My DH and I took our children to a RV show an hour away. For 2 hours we went in and out of trailers, Fifth wheels and RVs and dreamed about what our life would be like living in one of them. It was an interesting time and we are still dreaming. Who knows what our future will hold?
* Nature Walk at our local park - It included a picnic, playing in the rain and jumping in mud puddles, observing trees, frog eggs and  birds. More coming on this.

Mom's Eclectic Reading List

Last Child in the Woods by Richard Louv
Seven from Heaven - the miracle of the McCaughey Septuplets by Kenny and Bobbi McCaughey
A Love that Multiplies by Michelle and Jim Bob Duggar- still reading it and enjoying it very much.
Hinds' Feet on high Places - I began reading this one but I just didn't have the patience for all the symbolism. Maybe if the author had written her story without the allegory it might have held my attention. 


Here is  a little about the author:

Hannah Hurnard suffered from many fears and phobias. She even developed a stuttering problem that got worse when she had to speak in front of strangers. By the time she was 19, Hannah was deeply depressed. She even considered suicide, but her fears prevented her. God received the sacrifice of Hannah’s speech problem and used it for His glory. He took away her stuttering, so that she was able to share the gospel with others clearly. The Bible became a treasure and a delight even though she continued to wrestle with a spirit of fear. Over time, however, Hannah found deliverance as she continued to follow the Lord in obedience. Later, she was to write the best selling Hinds' Feet on High Places as a result of her experiences with the Lord. She went to Israel as a missionary to the Jews in 1932, and lived there through the war for independence in 1948. In Israel, she served as a housekeeper in a hospital—a kind of work she had detested before her surrender, but now loved.

Happier than a Billionaire: Quitting My Job, Moving to Costa Rica and Living the Zero Hour Work Week Funny, funny, funny!!! A must read to lift up your spirits!!!

I think that's all for this month, y'all!!!

Laughing Out Loud

Laughter is the best medicine!!

This morning, I woke up, had the breakfast of champions and was checking my inbox. I found an email from Amazon advertising some books on Kindle. So I checked them out and actually checked the inside of one of them: Happier Than A Billionaire: Quitting My Job, Moving to Costa Rica, and Living the Zero Hour Work Week.

As I read the first couple of pages, I was laughing so hard that I disrupted my house. The children kept asking "what's so funny?" So I bought the book. I figured a book that made me laugh before the day began was worth the price of just $2.99.

I will let you know later if it is actually any good. :)

Have you laughed today??

Look what I found!

 I am always looking for books that will have a story with depth and a Biblical worldview. I get tired of the superficial and humanistic books available to children nowadays. So Lamplighter books are a breath of fresh air. They are beautifully bound and have wonderful captivating stories.

My children love their Audio Dramas and from time to time they have entire dramas FREE on their homepage. We have been able to listen to Teddy's Button for Free that way. You can go HERE and hear the first 2 episodes for FREE. You will be hooked!!

Right now they are having an amazing Promotion on 8 items, including 5 audio dramas for just $99.00. Of course, I am jumping on board and purchasing that for my children.

But I found some of the books they sell on Lamplighter website for FREE on Google books. Here are a few with their links. Once you click on the links, scroll down the page until you find the sections or chapters and click on the first one. Then click Download on the right top corner and download either PDF or EPUB to your computer and save it in a folder. That is what I do and then peruse later for read out louds for my children. Enjoy!!!

Helen; or Temper and its Consequences by Mrs George Gladstone

The Boy who Wandered; or Jack and the Minnchen by Mrs George Gladstone

The Hedge of Thorns by Mrs. Sherwood

Little threads: or, Tangle thread, Silver thread, and Golden thread by Elizabeth Prentiss

Now I am off to enjoy my children... what are you up to this morning??

Blessings,
 Tereza


**** If you are here and read the entire post here is another tip for finding FREE books online READCENTRAL.com and a link for a another great read The Gold Thread - A story for the Young by Norman MAcleod.

Reading List of October 2011

 
My DD8 has read all the Boxcar Children books available in our Library, probably about 30 or so. I purchased her a couple that she really wanted to read and were not available for borrowing. So, we had to find another series for her to read. She reads a bit of everything from poetry to textbooks, science and non-fiction books, to fun easy superficial juvenile books.
 I found Hank the Cowdog series and she is enjoying them so (here is the list to proof):

Hank the Cowdog #1
The Further Adventures of Hank the Cowdog #2
It's a Dog's Life #3

Hank the Cowdog - Murder in the Middle Pasture #4
Faded Love #5
Let Sleeping Dogs Lie #6

The Curse of the Incredible Priceless Corncob #7
The Case of the One-Eyed Killer Stud Horse #8
The Case of the Halloween Ghost #9
Every Dog Has His Day #10
Lost In The Dark Unchanted Forest #11
The Case of the Fiddle-Playing Fox #12
all the books up to number 33.

William Kidd and the Pirates of the Indian Ocean by John Malam
Dragoon Trouble by Penelope Lively
No Excuses by Kyle Maynard

Eyewitness Books – Insects

Children's Guide to Insects and Spiders by Jinny Johnson

Nature Close Up – Seeds and Seelings by Elaine Pascoe/ Photographs by Dwight Kuhn

Eyewitness Books - Plant

Nature Club – Trees and Leaves – Althea

Fun with Science – Trees and Leaves

The Plant-and-Grow Project Book by Ulla Dietl

there were more but I can't remember them now and didn't keep up a record this time. Too tired.

We probably re-read a few for the sake of the little ones.

We are reading our American History HERE and we stopped at Chapter 13 so we could study and celebrate Thanksgiving during  the month of November. We will be reading lots of books on Thanksgiving and different versions of how it began and how it became a National Holiday.

What have you been reading to your children? I am always amazed at the wonderful FREE resources there are on the internet or at our public library. Although I would love to have a huge library at home, I rather live simply than have shelves full of books. :)

ooooh, my cranberry apple walnut cake is smelling so good... can't wait to eat it!! Ten more minutes and it's out of the oven. :)

Reading list of September 2011

School year has started for everybody else. We don't actually stop learning so for me we "do school" all year long. If you have followed our reading lists so far, you can see we don't stop reading. Here are the books we read this past month of September:

Leif Ericsson Explorer of Vinland (circa 1000) - We the People by Dan Zadra

Many Nations - An Alphabet of Native America by Joseph Bruchac
Amazon Diary - the Jungle Adventures of Alex Winters 
The Mystery at the Alamo - a BoxCard children's mystery
The Nice Book by David Ezra Stein
Elmer and the Lost Teddy by David McKee
Gumbrella by Barry Root
Me with You by Kristy Dempsey and Christopher Denise









































The planet's most extreme gluttons by Animal Planet
The planet's most extreme speed (the 10 fastest creatures on the planet) by Animal Planet
The planet's most extreme survivors (the 10 most extreme survivors on the planet) by Animal Planet

What are you reading?

A while back I shared how as a homeschooling Mom of 4 I still manage to read and how I do it.

Today I want to share with you the books that are currently part of my reading pile.

- The Bible. I read it everyday when I do devotions with the children. Then I try to read it later by myself or meditate on a few verses during the day.

From my library I snatched a few very interesting books:

- It's my Turn. by Ruth Bell Graham
While Billy Graham carried on his work throughout the world, Ruth Graham carried on her work of bringing up five children. In this book, she provides a charming behind-the-scenes look at the Graham's life. Mrs. Graham is a wise woman and this book is really encouraging me and helping me see the vision and purpose of keeping home.

- No Excuses by Kyle Maynard
the true story of a congenital amputee who became a champion in wrestling and in life.

- Half the Sky - Turning Oppression into Opportunity for Women Worldwide by Nicholas D.Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn  - Stories of women around the world and how liberal organizations are helping them turn their lives around. I thought this book was very bias. In many instances they criticized Christians efforts and organizations because of their Pro-Life position. It was eye opening and helped me have a Biblical point of view of issues.

Books I have recently purchased and been reading through:

The Mission of Motherhood and The Ministry of Motherhood both books by Sally Clarkson.

Future Men by Douglas Wilson

Visionary Womanhood Gatherings E-Book   by Natalie Klejwa

No Ordinary Child: Unlocking the Leader Within Your Child by Denise mira

Family Driven Faith by Voddie Baucham Jr.

As I shared in the post I linked at the beginning of this post I really believe the Lord speaks to me through books I read. I feel He is strenghtening me and showing me my purpose as a Mother and the vision He has for my family and children.

What are you reading? What is the Lord showing you at this time?

Be blessed,

Tereza

Reading list of August 2011

Also reading:

Stories of Gorilla Country by Paul du Chailu
Parables from Nature by Margaret S. Gatty
The Mystery at the Fair (Boxcar Children Special (Pb))
The Giant Yo-Yo Mystery (Boxcar Children (Pb))

Reading list for July 2011 - The Boxcar children, Whole Heart ministries and more!!

Oh, WOW!! what a summer!! My parents were here and we moved into a new house and had so many projects going at the same time. I thought the children might slow down their reading time, but no! They are reading more than never!!

My DD8 discovered Magic Tree House, but after witches and what nots we decided that they weren't the best books for her. So we have tried The Boxcar children series instead and she loved it!!






























































































































































I also found Whole Heart Ministries and have ordered many of their books to read. I also read Loving the Little Years: Motherhood in the Trenches on my Kindle. It's a wonderful book with so much wisdom. If you find yourself overwhelmed with your little ones and discouraged this book is a must. It will give you new insight and lift your spirits as you look at your children with new eyes.

Happy Summer!!

Blessings,
Tereza

Reading list of June 2011

I am late putting up this list... June was a monthful if that word existed! We moved to a new house, my parents arrived from Brazil, we had Summer Reading program at our local library, and we read lots and lots of books.

 DS5 is now reading independently and some of the books he read were:

    


























DD8 read:

Shipwreck! A survive! Story by Jake Maddox


   













Other books that we read to all the children or the little ones:

    













  












 

 













For more of our Reading Lists and on books I use for our home education click HERE.











DD8 also read a few Magic Tree House books... but we quickly switched to the Boxcar children series instead. Junie B. Jones was also another series that she read a couple of books from and then we decided that they were not suitable for what we are trying to teach our children.

Blessings,
Tereza

One proud Momma....

Sometimes readers can be pretty boring and the stories pretty lame. DS5 is reading and he went a completely different route than DD8 when she was reading at his level. For one, there is no fight, no struggles. I don't have to force it. We began phonics because he requested it. So last December, we began Kindergarten Phonics... every other day we would do a page or two, or as many as he wanted. Sometimes we went days without doing any phonics, and then we would pick it up again. He is now almost finishing First Grade phonics and instead of readers he is reading Mo Williams. Again his own choice.

As you know we go to the library every other week, and we check out about 30 books at a time. They just so happen to have some new books with Gerald and The Pig and DS5 picked them up at home and began reading them. Because they are written with dialog balloons like comic books he asked me to read them with him. So the first time I was Piggie and he was Elephant. The second time we reversed roles.

The next morning I woke up and heard voices in the living room and thought he was talking and playing with DD3 but no, he was reading his Mo Williems books again by himself. Everybody else was sleeping.

So today we are going to go back to the library and get some more Piggie and Elephant books and maybe even the Pigeon book.


Living and learning. Each child is so different and unschooling has really helped me see that we are NOT all fishes and we shouldn't be swimming in schools. HA!!!

Blessings,
Tereza
