This morning I found a method to look at leaf stomata under a microscope.  Here is the link to the site where I found the worksheet.  Here is the procedure that we followed. 1. Paint a small area of the back of a leaf with a thick coat of clear fingernail polish (at least 1 sq. …

David Livingstone Lapbooks

3 Comments / How We Homeschool / By Kristen

Here are pictures from my 9 yo son’s and 7 yo daughter’s lapbooks. We used a couple of books from Hands of a Child’s Missionary Pack and then pulled in a few things about the Kalahari Dessert.  Overall I am really pleased with them.  The perfectionist in me thinks they should have done some things …

This School Year is Finished

Leave a Comment / General Homeschool / By Kristen

Well, I have to chuckle as I looked at the description of my blog.  I say my purpose is to collect my thoughts on homeschooling, childrearing, etc.  Apparently I don’t have many thoughts since I’ve let another 7 months go by and I haven’t written anything 😆 We finished our last “official” day for the …

One week until school starts!

Leave a Comment / Home life / By Kristen

This is my last week until we start school.  I’m trying to finish my home improvement projects up because I rarely have time to work on them during the year.  Today I made a window treatment for the second of my bedroom windows.  The kids worked on stripping wallpaper in our half bath!  I hope to …

Well, I finally did it!

3 Comments / General Homeschool, Home life / By Kristen

I can’t believe I finally got around to starting a blog.  I’ve been talking about it for months.  I don’t have much time to write now, so this is serving as a test to see if I can figure out how this works.  My 3 biggest fears about starting a blog are:     1.What am …
