A couple years ago, I was doing my student teaching and was not able to be involved much in my children's homeschooling. I had to simplify every subject considerably so that they could do it on their own. This history bingo was the greatest success of the whole experiment. Each week I would pick a ...

I created my first presidential election lap book in 2016, making this my third iteration. I'm flattered by how many people asked if I would be updating it for 2024! With the first debate tomorrow, this definitely took me a little longer than planned, but it's ready! You can also get my ...

It's hard to believe I've been creating and sharing resources for so long, but I shared these presidential election cards for the first time EIGHT years ago! At the time, my oldest was only 6.

Recently, a reader reached out and asked if I had any division practice sheets similar to my multiplication practice sheets. I didn't, but that was easily remedied!

For the past few years, I have been trying to go paperless. I converted my paper planner to a digital planner. I started using my phone to make digital versions of documents to save in Evernote.

Lowercase Printing Sheets

A couple of my kiddos have a tendency to write their letters bottom to top. One of them, who is dyslexic, also sometimes writes his letters right to left. In the long run, do I think it's really going to matter if they never outgrow these habits? Not really. I think they'll be fine. However, I think ...
