Thank you for posting this! My 5 years old DD is very interested in the American Revolution so I always thought we'd end up getting her Felicity. Maybe I'll do some early holiday shopping....

:hat:

Thanks so much for sharing this! :lol:

Bumping :) ETA: Reese, I thought the B&W illustrations would annoy me in the bird book but since we then watch videos and look at photos afterward it hasn't been an issue at all.

Bumping for you. :)

Secular homeschooler here. I just posted about our Kindergarten year today. My blog is in my signature.

We literally just started this past week. She will be 5 in late August.

Walking with Dinosaurs and others...

:lurk5:

I have some links in these 2 blog posts - some are repeats in this thread but not all. We are eclectic but CM heavy.

We start Kinder in the Fall although that's really by name - we're all ready doing several "subjects" right now. Kinder: RightStart Math A Nature Study Copywork Narration Composer Study Artist Study Prehistory Religion (not religious studies but learning about various religions, I am using this book as a spine) I am thinking of adding BFSU in the new year depending on our schedule (I work 4 days a week.) My daughter already reads well so no phonics instruction but we will have time for read alouds of chapter books, etc to continue working on that. We are eclectic with a big emphasis on Charlotte Mason and also some classical education flavoring thrown in. :) Definitely a fan of short lessons, ala CM.

Thanks! We're doing the bird study now but plan to cover his animal book next.

I am so very sorry for your loss.

I'm not sure if this has been posted yet... Allen's Hummingbird Cam

Thanks for the links - some are new to me. :) Here are a few more in some old blog posts of mine (some are new, some are repeats): Post 1 and Post 2.

This is my favorite one so far. I am also slowly working on reading her original writings.

I use photos but usually not directly of my DD's face - often side shots, etc... I also use an alias but it is a nickname of hers that we call her daily. I have a hard time reading blogs where they just use the initial of the first name so I prefer an alias (or their real name ;) .)

Thanks for the link!

Bump :bigear:

Does anyone have this? How do you like it? TIA!

I know I would love that! :D

Mine is in my siggy - we followed FIAR this year and we're about to combine CM and classical education.

We just came home from San Diego yesterday. Felt it in the San Fernando Valley - it was a tad long but nothing "major" where I am. My DD didn' even notice it.

I did not know that - thanks!

I'm a Speech Language Pathologist. I currently work in a school setting but am about to switch jobs and work at a clinic for 4 days a week. The clinic will be nice because I will have 2 week days off and that will allow us to do more activities with other homeschoolers around here.
