Thanksgiving Links

My biggest thing I'm thankful for right now?  That my pneumonia is gone!  No wonder I've had no energy and been sick for a month.  My new doctor and the antibiotics are a godsend.  Thank you, Jesus, for health!

So now, I know it is a bit late for a "what to do to get ready for Thanksgiving" post, but better late than never.  Besides, now I'll be able to look at my archives earlier next year to get my own ideas!

Instead of coming up with my own stuff though, I thought I'd just link to what some other people in the blogosphere are doing for this holiday.

  • Homepreschool and Beyond
    • Thanksgiving craft ideas, poems, service for the needy
  • Sweetbits
    • Free grown-up printables for putting you in the Thanksgiving mood!
  • Ministry to Children
    • Free Thanksgiving coloring pages
  • Homeschooling in a Bilingual Home
    • This is currently one of my favorite blogs.  She has some great living book recommendations for younger children to read at Thanksgiving.  More here and here.
  • Homeschool Freebie of the Day
    • Even if you don't homeschool or plan to homeschool, you should check out this blog.  They provide daily freebies of e-books.  Currently, they have a number of Thanksgiving titles that are worth downloading.
  • TipJunkie
    • Found this on Pinterest, and it has a bunch of great ideas to do with kids for Thanksgiving including books to read and crafts to do.
That's about it.  I'm glad to be feeling better this week (finally!) which means that we might actually be able to do some of this fun stuff.  I'd especially like to memorize one of the thankfulness Bible verses with Buddy and Button.  We can do that by Thursday, right?

How I'm Approaching... Geometry

N will be taking Geometry this year.  A Little Bit of Background His last year was split between taking his first semester of Algebra I at the local middle school as an 8th grader and his second semester being homeschooled. Khan Academy was a fantastic resource for him to make sure that he didn't have any gaps in his learning. We also used IXL to supplement. He took a math diagnostic right when we started homeschooling, and then took the personalized lessons to make sure he wasn't missing anything from even earlier math. N likes math, but it isn't an obsession for him like it is for his brother. I'm a huge fan of the Art of Problem Solving's courses especially since we loved their elementary series, Beast Academy, when they were younger. However, AoPS is extremely rigorous and expensive if you take their online courses, so they are better suited for students who want to focus a lot of their attention on math. However, they do have a FREE online learning platform for...

About Me

  Hello! Welcome to my blog. What you will find here are my attempts at sorting through my ideas and implementation of homeschool curriculum and activities that I have pursued with my own two boys. The Beginning I began this blog in 2008 when my oldest was only a year old. It began as a family blog chronicling our adventures as a young family in Seattle. We decided early on that we wanted to homeschool our two sons. Honestly, now, I don't remember why we decided to do that, but we did it nevertheless. We began teaching our children as soon as they could walk and talk. We made many mistakes along the way and so learned to follow the lead of our children in what they were interested in. We focused on delight-directed learning with a lot of outings and fun things to do. When things got rough, we learned to adapt and switch things out. Moving To Thailand In 2015, our family moved to Thailand. We started another blog for our time there, but alas it was not a good fit for us. We had int...
