My goal was to learn as much as possible about libraries through experiences & conversations. We had a blast discussing & applying information about the library, while integrating various disciplines & deepening a love for learning and books. And guess what?! I wrote it all down for you in case you would like to do this with your family also! This is a 4-week unit study, that we call:<b> Library Project! </b>I am <i>loosely </i>outlining it for you here, & including a booklist with 30+ links at the bottom. I say "loosely" because you could move faster/slower depending on your preferences, and as always, cherry-pick what works for you & your family. <b><i>I have included a printable version of this post at the bottom.</i></b></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjBNJYfRug5jSZfnA8slrWi2_a0MlqXSui16PiLUzQ3sFfwNHUa-rBU15l5had63IZjRA1ABfhNwkYMs9ezP9WR6tf7B_3flCSm_4S77s9VnWcUT_DgStpsUTtVZGtcb7Xq7XOnq_LVn6tegBWwFXARspxQPs0KYJd-DiP_n9GaFG63s67-S83XorxC=s1920" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1280" data-original-width="1920" height="138" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjBNJYfRug5jSZfnA8slrWi2_a0MlqXSui16PiLUzQ3sFfwNHUa-rBU15l5had63IZjRA1ABfhNwkYMs9ezP9WR6tf7B_3flCSm_4S77s9VnWcUT_DgStpsUTtVZGtcb7Xq7XOnq_LVn6tegBWwFXARspxQPs0KYJd-DiP_n9GaFG63s67-S83XorxC=w207-h138" width="207" /></a></div><p></p><p><i><b><u>Week 1:</u></b> </i></p><p><b>A- </b>At the beginning of the week, show your kids & have them point out the parts of a book (e.g., title page, book jacket, author vs. illustrator, cover, spine, Caldecott awards vs. Newberry awards, how to put books on a shelf so that you can read the spine). </p><p><b>B</b>- Towards the middle of the week, talk about different kinds of books with your kids (e.g., paperback vs. hardback, fiction vs. nonfiction, what is a reference book?

There are a lot of books available, but not all of them are worthy of our time. We want to practice recognizing books that are beautiful, honorable, & uplifting; we want to be growing from our experiences with books in a positive way. It’s important for me to remind my kids that just because a book is popular to the world does not mean that it is also God-honoring. We are to focus on that which is honest, pure & lovely (Philippians 4:8) & to be clean (Isaiah 52:11) even in our book selections. In our conversations & practice, we broke books into 3 categories: </p><p><i><b>Lovely & Worthy Books:</b></i> These books warm your heart & make us feel good. They’re filled with inspiration, truth, & growth. They honor relationships, kindness, & empathy; they encourage us to grow stronger in our faith. Living Books would fall into this category. (<i>Living Books are usually written in a narrative style by a passionate author who captivates the reader, inspires emotional connection, & shares worthy thoughts & inspiring tales. Living picture books typically have beautiful & elaborate illustrations where I catch myself lingering over the pictures long after the page has been read.</i>)</p><p><i><b>Roller Coaster Books:</b></i> These books are fun and not awful, but they also don’t grow us in any way. There is no real value in these books, and may be considered twaddle. We have to be careful that we don’t read so many of these books that we are distracted from Lovely & Worthy Books.</p><p><i><b>Unworthy Books:</b></i> While these books may seem humorous, they may also contain bad language, or show us how to be disrespectful, rude, or unkind. Evil can often make inappropriate behavior seem harmless or entertaining. We do not want to become desensitized to bad feelings or inappropriate behavior.</p><div><b>B- </b>Go to the library and practice accessing "Lovely and Worthy" and "Unworthy" books on the shelves. Look-out for books that are good, beautiful, & honorable, but also look for indicators of an unworthy book (e.g., fighting siblings, children who are not honoring the Lord or their parents, bad language, books that do not help the reader grow, etc.).</div><div><br /></div><div><b>C-</b> And of course, read books about books throughout the week.</div><div><br /></div><div><i>You might be asking yourself, "What do I do if my child only selects twaddle or 'Roller Coaster' books at the library? I don't want to crush their confidence, but I also do not want to read that book." This might not work for you, but this is what I do to build my children's confidence at the library while also limiting the twaddle: When we’re at the library I don’t want to be saying 'no' to all of their selections (which are usually animated, Disney, or Star Wars) I want them to grow self-confidence without breaking their spirit. So I DO let them pick some twaddle (that I will approve first to make sure it isn't an "unworthy" book). They can have 10-15 a week, & will have to keep them in the book basket in their rooms. If they can’t read it, I will read it to them ONCE, but then they will have to read it on their own or look at the pictures on their own. I want to spend my time reading good quality, lovely, living books to my children; books that will enhance their life. To be honest, while I let them make these selections, they usually get bored with them very quickly & don't want to read them. This allows us to have conversations about the quality of books. Once you & your children learn good authors, it's easy to make lovely living book selections. </i></div><div><i><br /></i></div><div><i><div>It is also really helpful to do your research before even going to the library. There are many great booklists that are available with wholesome suggestions and there are also countless reviews on YouTube. Until you become more confident in your title selections, you could research titles at home and then put books on hold digitally at the library so that you know what you are getting is worthy. This way all you have to do is go pick them up. Your children could also put books on hold with you at home.</div><div><br /></div><div>Either way, you are the gatekeeper of your home, so always do a flip-through before you check-out your books to bring home. I once heard this quote by Jo Godwin, a librarian, and I do think it is true: “A truly great library contains something in it to offend everyone.” Be aware and cautious, because not everything is going to match your goals with books.</div></i></div><div><i><br /></i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEijfhnsv-qSyF6SX2vdyYawagdqSGDajlDBa318vh4_ADhZ6r8l2y10meqR8RC3SsOnVjyuOS39eWtEXJBSuC0XpJoyD7PlO4V5W_x5qdXnmWq7fLIB0n-vjIusB29AQVuoxGF0xUWYNTLPxMqZOMzRlm1k7bTFiGKfM7zNiiViJMjCt94YMW_BFi7T=s3564" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3564" data-original-width="2359" height="586" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEijfhnsv-qSyF6SX2vdyYawagdqSGDajlDBa318vh4_ADhZ6r8l2y10meqR8RC3SsOnVjyuOS39eWtEXJBSuC0XpJoyD7PlO4V5W_x5qdXnmWq7fLIB0n-vjIusB29AQVuoxGF0xUWYNTLPxMqZOMzRlm1k7bTFiGKfM7zNiiViJMjCt94YMW_BFi7T=w389-h586" width="389" /></a></div><br /><p><b><i><u>Week 4:</u></i></b></p><p><b>A-</b> At the beginning of the week, ask your children, “What is something that you would like to learn about? What is something that you would like to read about at the library?” Take your children to the library and let them try to find books on the topic they selected. </p><p><b>B- </b>Once your children have located a couple books on their topic, give them time to flip through and read. You might want to take a picnic lunch or snack to the library so that they have time to flip through and explore their book selections.</p><p><b>C- </b>Depending on their abilities, ask your children to share what they have learned about on their selected topic. If you have a more advanced child, they could read and then narrate for you what they learned written or orally. If you have a child who is not quite writing on their own, you could pick out some lines from a passage together and use that as copywork. If you have a very young child, they can find their favorite picture and try to replicate it. Remember this is not an intense college research project, but instead a simple application for falling in love with books & how to find them. As an example, for us, when we did this, my son looked for books on “wild boar.” After reading about them he narrated orally and written about the wild boar diet, habitat, and life cycle. My daughter was interested in the cookbook section after our tour. She is really interested in sweets, so she found books on cakes and drew her favorite cakes from the cookbooks. Then she wrote out the different names and we came home and baked the cakes.</p><p><b>C-</b> And of course, read books about books throughout the week.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjPXWDR3Eh9qn_1BNmQTnr9FbeTFl2_a-3jFbTpC2jokDdICiBqsgi19NTQN8EA7yk7QtiCDme2ZDVv-3HgRivjn0-GEZwCwV-SHsRSJOZSA8ktCvYGHtyD1x5xAtSS1hhj-PSsOayxKbhEGBC7atWLwKpM-V5meyM9I_UCG2zd5wtVGl4XxcX2Cpmj=s3260" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3260" data-original-width="2415" height="494" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjPXWDR3Eh9qn_1BNmQTnr9FbeTFl2_a-3jFbTpC2jokDdICiBqsgi19NTQN8EA7yk7QtiCDme2ZDVv-3HgRivjn0-GEZwCwV-SHsRSJOZSA8ktCvYGHtyD1x5xAtSS1hhj-PSsOayxKbhEGBC7atWLwKpM-V5meyM9I_UCG2zd5wtVGl4XxcX2Cpmj=w366-h494" width="366" /></a></div><br /><p style="text-align: center;"><b>There is no Frigate like a Book by Emily Dickinson</b></p><p style="text-align: center;">There is no Frigate like a Book</p><p style="text-align: center;">To take us Lands away</p><p style="text-align: center;">Nor any Coursers like a Page</p><p style="text-align: center;">Of prancing Poetry –</p><p style="text-align: center;">This Traverse may the poorest take</p><p style="text-align: center;">Without oppress of Toll –</p><p style="text-align: center;">How frugal is the Chariot</p><p style="text-align: center;">That bears the Human Soul –</p><p> <b><u><i>Booklist</i></u>: </b>This is a collection of amazing books about libraries and the love of books.

When we return to subjects, it feels like we’re visiting an “old friend”. There is familiarity but also excitement for adding to what we already know. This is our 3rd time cycling through apples, but each time we cycle we add something to deepen & enrich our learning experience. This year we’re adding in apple picture studies, apple poetry, copy work, & folk songs.

I tried to make a hot summer day fun with an apple taste-off. It costs us about a dollar an apple, then I made & printed these apple score cards (<a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Bup7CMlwhDwDicQP4B_e8W6FjoEJVSAz/view?usp=sharing" target="_blank">Free for you here</a>).

My mother-in-law, on the other hand, is a rock star brownie maker. I have tried her recipe numerous times & always failed. I was craving a delicious homemade brownie 3 weeks ago, and decided I would try my hand at them again. I have made this so many times now to perfect the recipe, & I think this is it. These brownies are as perfect as I can get them, not too fudgy and not to cakey, something in the middle with a delicious frosting. What gets me is that these really are so easy to make. I wish I had committed to working on this recipe years ago. Think of all the brownies I've missed! So come on, try these brownies!</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizm4RJ1NYBoBAnRvnsP_icd9hT5GzrC1AimzLiEl4NIkMGWnf9SnJVvQe8ajiHf-e3a5qvoxlf-DvEy-xbDj_CUgyg6fOHUTHUoONMPi-99HCiKvklgY2ALZgL9gXdBFpO-hyibwNgewg/s1920/chocolate-677762_1920.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1440" data-original-width="1920" height="390" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizm4RJ1NYBoBAnRvnsP_icd9hT5GzrC1AimzLiEl4NIkMGWnf9SnJVvQe8ajiHf-e3a5qvoxlf-DvEy-xbDj_CUgyg6fOHUTHUoONMPi-99HCiKvklgY2ALZgL9gXdBFpO-hyibwNgewg/w523-h390/chocolate-677762_1920.jpg" width="523" /></a></div><br /><p><b><u>Ingredients</u></b>:</p><p><i>Brownies:</i></p><p>1 cup softened butter</p><p>2 cups sugar</p><p>4 eggs</p><p>2 tsp vanilla</p><p>2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa</p><p>1 cup all-purpose flour</p><p>1/2 tsp salt</p><p>1/2 tsp baking powder</p><p>walnuts (optional)</p><p><br /></p><p><i>Frosting:</i></p><p>6 tbs melted butter</p><p>6 tbs unsweetened cocoa</p><p>1 tbs honey</p><p>2 tsp vanilla</p><p>2 cups confectioner sugar</p><p>3 tbs room temperature water<span> </span></p><p><span>ice cream a la mode (optional)</span></p><p><br /></p><p><b><u>Directions</u></b>:</p><p>1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease & flour a 9 x 13 pan.</p><p>2. To make brownies, mix all wet ingredients together in a bowl with a fork, then add the dry ingredients. You want to mix until just incorporated but not too much. Evenly spread the batter into the greased pan. If you are going to add nuts, you can sprinkle them on top right before putting the pan in the oven.</p><p>3. Bake for 25-27 minutes.</p><p>4. While the brownies are in the oven, mix all of the frosting ingredients together. If the frosting is too stiff, add water. It should have a very smooth texture. Pour the frosting over the brownies while they are still warm.</p><p>5.

little weird to say.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>While this is not a
new concept, I have noticed a resurgence in popularity surrounding flexible
materials as educational resources in the last couple of years.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I can’t say that I’m surprised considering
how many studies are illustrating the need for more activities that foster imagination,
creativity, and critical thinking.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
concept of a “loose parts tray” is basically several ambiguous objects in
different shapes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A child is given the
tray to create whatever they want to with the objects. Loose parts are also used as invitational manipulatives for learning.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqwtGsw-_pfHa1uOkiPE979CSUzxDF79nj8hXLMTtd6bdiwOHM5KBInR4aY3lnSgzTqrQbLbGsFJldWvWV3rVge4J-Pp2Dr5V0c0uvLzyJnnxrYrnJk89W5RK45VSujPl6taTpjIuIGxs/s1268/IMG_20201211_073333_203.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1268" data-original-width="1080" height="495" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqwtGsw-_pfHa1uOkiPE979CSUzxDF79nj8hXLMTtd6bdiwOHM5KBInR4aY3lnSgzTqrQbLbGsFJldWvWV3rVge4J-Pp2Dr5V0c0uvLzyJnnxrYrnJk89W5RK45VSujPl6taTpjIuIGxs/w421-h495/IMG_20201211_073333_203.jpg" width="421" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Most people are easily "on board" with how the simplicity reaps great

I have been baking these scones all month to make sure my recipe is just right and is exactly what I wanted. These scones are prefect for the tea drinker that just wants a little treat but doesn't want to bake every single time. These are small scones that you can freeze and pull out for tea whenever the mood strikes! I bake them on the weekends, so that we have them for poetry tea time throughout the week. These little bite-size scones wont spoil dinner, but will hit the spot! Okay, so let me share these simple, fast, and freezable (is that a word?) scones with you!<br />

<b><u>Ingredients</u></b>:<br />
2.5 cups self-rising flour<br />
2 tbs confectioners sugar<br />
2 tbs butter, chopped<br />
2 cups whole milk<br />
2 tbs white vinegar<br />
1 tsp lemon rind<br />
1 tsp fresh lemon juice<br />
Clotted cream<br />
Jam, we like strawberry best<br />
<b><u><br /></u></b>
<b><u>Directions</u></b>:<br />
1.Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Grease 9-inch square cake pan.<br />
2.Whisk together flour & sugar. Squish in butter with your fingers.<br />
3. Mix together milk & white vinegar to make buttermilk. Then measure out 1 1/4 cups and add it to the flour mixture. Reserve the rest of the buttermilk for later.<br />
4. To the flour, add lemon rind & lemon juice.<br />
5. Gently mix ingredients together with a knife until is starts to form dough, and then gently knead with your hands.<br />
6. On a piece of wax paper sprinkled with flour, flatten out the dough with your hands until it is about 3/4 of an inch thick. Using a 1/2 inch circular cookie cutter, cut out scones and place into the pan, just touching. To prevent sticking, dip cutter into the flour before trying to cut the dough.<br />
7. Brush scones with leftover buttermilk and then bake for 18-20 minutes, until golden.<br />
8. Serve warm with clotted cream and preserves.<br />
9. Enjoy!<br />
<br />
<i>If you freeze cooked scones, to prepare: pull out of the freezer and put in an aluminum foil pouch, and put them into the oven. Then turn oven on to preheat at 425, and set a timer for 25 minutes. Mine are usually defrosted and warm within this time.</i><br />

“<i>Do you school year-round?</i>” I’ve gotten this question & heard it a lot lately (probably because traditional schools are letting out for summer). For us, we absolutely school through the summer. I know is doesn’t work for everyone and that’s totally cool with me (I know you know your family best, and doing what fits your family best- you’re awesome- rock on!) This is our 3rd summer of schooling & I’ll share why we choose to school this way:<br />
<br />
<b>ONE-</b> It works for us! My kids flourish with the rhythm of learning. When we go without the structure, we have a tendency to forget some character traits & educational skills we’ve worked on<br />
<b>TWO- </b>Summers are hot in TX- This girl still has not adjusted to TX heat. It’s too hot to be outside. We actually make our most progress during the summer months.<br />
<b>THREE- </b>Freedom- When we school year-round it doesn’t mean we don’t take breaks. We do, just not when the calendar dictates. Because we school in the summer, when it’s cooler in the “winter” we have field trips galore; we go to the beach during the week, in the off-season (yippee for off-season prices).<br />
<b>FOUR- </b>Intensity decreases- The daily pace is more relaxed, and we are less pressured to complete content during the traditional 9-month calendar. We never have to school 7 hours a day during the year because it’s spaced out over a longer period of time.<br />
<b>FIVE- </b>Environmental learning- I don’t want my kids to think learning only happens Sept-May. I’ve been intentional to develop a lifestyle of learning, not determined by the calendar or the environment. Learning is anytime anywhere. I don’t want “lazy learning” to develop, instead I want curiously to shine whenever the mood strikes.<br />
<br />
While these are my reasons, I do not think schooling year-round is the only way to incorporate these concepts, this is just how we make it work for us.<br />

Hi I’m Darby and I’m an accidental homeschooler.
Homeschooling was never on my radar as something that I would even consider as
an option for our family. In fact, I'm
ashamed to admit, but growing up I was guilty of maintaining a lot of the stereotypes
regarding homeschooling families. And
here I am now with two little ones (ages 3 & 4 in preschool and kindergarten) that I love homeschooling,
and a huge enthusiast and advocate of homeschooling. Isn't the Lord funny like that? ;-) And I must admit, that my preconceived notions,
were WRONG!</div>

While I never expected to be a homeschooling family, the careers
of my husband and I didn't either. We
are a homeschooling family where both parents work full-time. We are an anomaly
and I'm okay with that because it works for us.
How does this full-time working family also homeschool? We juggle. We
struggle. We juggle some more. We communicate. We are flexible. We pray.
We are continually reaffirmed in our decisions to homeschool. Let me share with you
how we are making this work for us. <i>(Disclaimer: I'm not saying that our way is
the right way, or the only way. I only
express this as what is working for us right now. It might change, but for now, this is how we
are managing)</i>.<o:p></o:p><br />

We entertained the idea of homeschooling, and ultimately made
the decision to homeschool our children, because we wanted control over
curriculum where Jesus was taught, to enable deep thinkers, to linger over
subjects, and the flexibility of time both in and out of the "classroom". I was also a bit discouraged with the industrial
education system, but I am not opening that can of worms today. To cultivate a culture of learning while
working full-time, we have firm boundaries; we say "no" to a lot of extra stuff
so that we can say "yes" to the learning lifestyle in our home. We feel called to this lifestyle so we do not
feel guilty about putting this mission field above all other things. We school non-traditionally throughout the week,
and sometimes Saturdays. If we’re not
schooling, we take a field trip on Saturdays, but always rest on Sundays. Because we have such flexibility, we also
school throughout the summer. I thought
initially my kids wouldn’t like that, but it turns out, we all appreciate the structure and atmosphere of year-round schooling. <br />
<br />
Our approach to
homeschooling is, what I would call, a hodgepodge: a combination of Charlotte
Mason, Montessori, Classical, and Waldorf. I tend to lean more towards the
natural side as far as units & manipulatives. I typically choose natural
fibers over plastics or sounds. I like to leave a lot of room for the
imagination to blossom. And, of course, I turn to books and I schedule in a lot
of time for reading. Scheduling all of
this was a little overwhelming at first, but we have established our rhythm and
I will share with you what is working for us now, though always subject to

My husband works in the oil and gas industry and works very long
hours. I am a university professor with
an unusual schedule. While I do work
full-time, I do not work traditional hours, which provides me flexibility with my
time. Every morning I am up at 6 am,
to get myself ready for the day, prep breakfast, read something for myself, and
answer emails. The kids get up at 8 am,
are dressed, and head to the kitchen for breakfast. During breakfast I read the Bible, we
practice our memory verse, sing a hymn, and then read a story for something
that we are learning about. These
activities are standard for every morning, but from this point on, our days
differ.</div>

When I am at the university during the week, we have someone at home with our children. We call this recess. After breakfast and our standard activities,
the kids play a lot and are outside.
When I get home, we eat and then have what we call Book Day. In our home, Book Days include getting into my
bed, or curled up on a blanket on the living room floor, and spending the
afternoon reading aloud over piles of books pertaining to whatever we are
learning at the time (insects, music, the solar system, etc.) or just something
that we really enjoy. Our Book Days are
very relaxed and do not include a single worksheet, just books, discussions, and sometimes tea. This has worked well for us
because it is scheduled time for reading that reinforces the content we are
covering. We all expect those afternoons
and look forward to them.<br />

On other days when I'm not at the university in the morning,
after breakfast we have Morning Basket.
This basket isn't really a basket anymore. It used to be, but now it is more like a
bunch of activities that are sprawled out on the kitchen counter for me to
quickly grab that I set up the night before. While still at the
breakfast table, we spend 1-2 hours going over activities that are mostly
review, fun, hands-on, and highly engaging activities (mostly from our book
club subscription or pertaining to a current event or holiday). Each child has their own activities but we
are all working together. Around 10:30 am
the kids get up to have some free play while I clean up the kitchen from
breakfast and morning "basket".
Around 11:15 am we have Book Time.
This is always on the living room floor around a bowl of popcorn. First, I read a picture book aloud to the
kids, and then we have quiet reading time with our own stack of books. I set a timer for 10 minutes for quiet
reading time. When the timer goes off,
if we’re all still okay (with our little wiggles) we keep going. When I first started this exercise, I did
small 5-minute increments (because, toddlers), but now we do 10-15 minutes, and
usually go up to about 50 minutes of quiet reading together. We do this about 3x a week. I like this because I actually get to read,
my kids get to SEE me reading, & they get quiet time to flip through their
own books.<br />

After our reading time, my youngest goes down for her nap, and
then I work one-on-one with my son in our school room. This is the time during the week where new
concepts are introduced, where we work on language arts (phonics, reading, handwriting,
word families, comprehension, sight words, etc.), math (comparisons,
addition/subtraction, time, money, counting, etc.), science (the solar system,
life cycle of a frog, nature exploration, etc.), social studies (the pledge,
geography, etc.), and the arts (music & art). Around 3pm,
he goes to my bed for a quiet time, where he will sleep, rest, or read a
book. I quickly clean up his schooling, and pull
out what I have prepped for my youngest. She is only 3, so her schooling right now revolves
around a book and we cover numbers, phonics, & art mostly. A lot of her school is hands-on and
active. Right now, schooling for my
kids, and introducing new concepts is conducted one-on-one. I know that will not always be the case, but
that works best for us right now.<br />

After rest time and one-on-ones, we all come back to the
kitchen table for tea time. This always
includes art, poetry, and cookies. This lasts about 20-30 minutes, and then the
kids are ready for some free play while I cook dinner.<o:p></o:p><br />

After dinner, my husband usually comes home and there is
wrestling, golf or tennis in the backyard, something physical and....... loud lol Then it's bath, book, and bed time. My kids are in bed at 8 pm. We live away from family and do not have free
childcare, so it is essential that we keep strict bed times so that I can see
my husband and have conversations with him.
Monday nights are our check-in nights.
We always schedule this time. It
isn't a formal meeting, but it is a time where we check-in with each
other. We have to be very intentional
with our time and this "scheduled" time has worked well for us and
kept our marriage healthy.
Other evenings during the week, I will usually watch a show with my
husband before he heads to bed around 9:30/10, or I teach a night class. But when the house is quiet late at night, I am in Go Mode.<br />

I don’t think I have always been an introvert, & I don’t
think I will be one forever; however, in this season of my life, while
homeschooling my young children and working, I am an introvert. I don’t get a
lot of time alone where I can refuel, & I <i>really </i>need it. The only time
that I have found to refuel is when the world is sleeping. So I stay up late.
Like really late. I would rather be
sleep-deprived & sane, than rested & crazy. (sidebar- I attribute my
ability to work on little sleep to doctoral grad school). I see bedtime for my
house as “second morning” for me. I stay
up late because I want to answer emails for students, update lectures, prep
classroom activities, edit manuscripts, read scholarly journals, prepare advising
materials, to zone-out, to read a book, to be creative & write a blog post,
to mindlessly scroll through Facebook, to enjoy the silence, to laminate, or to prep the
next school day in peace. I find the
evening is when I'm most productive with preparation for school but also for my
own mental health. I typically head to
bed around 2 am.<br />

After a day, whether it was a day I was at school or a day where
I was at home schooling, I have found that no matter what, I am educating. I am leading and teaching All. The. Time. I don't think it is something that I'm perfect at, but it does come natural to me. It is something I have been called to do and thus I work
hard at trying to be better and to serve more. I have great peace using the gift God gave me.</div>

Next month we are going to be diving into spring, gardening, wildflowers, bees, bugs, and butterflies. Last spring we spent a lot of time on the life cycle of the butterfly, and barely touched on bees; this year I want to quickly revisit butterflies, but spend a lot of time on bees. Makes sense, right? Anyways, I wanted one activity that could be used for both insects, but also used with several content areas. Today I'm sharing this single activity with you as a FREE printable!<br />

It feels like spring. It must be spring. We're close enough to spring to call it spring, right? Weather and the seasonal changes are extremely relevant in our home lately, so I made this printable, and I want to share it with you as a FREE printable!<br />

I am a big fan of having one activity that can be used to teach multiple objectives. It’s a big perk, if that activity will grow with my child & I can use it at multiple stages of cognitive development. And if it is seasonally exciting, well then I. Am. Sold. This is one of those activities, and I have it for you today <b><a href="https://drive.google.com/open?id=1b2hBQmPjxu4F4tODseMLK93d8HIxIYAP" target="_blank">FREE</a></b>!

Ask your child to count up the dots, or to add them together for a sum. If you’re past addition, try subtraction. Comparisons also work great here (write greater than or less than on the sheet, or “write the number of the dice with more dots”).</span><br />

Your child could write the sum as a digit or a word, both numbers presented on each dice, or trace the digit or word.

I will leave this at the top of my School page and update it frequently when I find new favorites. I have organized this list into several areas to help: prep and storing, supplies, art supplies, curriculum, manipulatives, books for mama, & books for kids.<br />

And so begins my fourth year of these monthly updates. I love these capsules to see how our family evolves! January this year was actually slower. This is a goal of mine for this year, to <a href="https://lifewiththehawleys.blogspot.com/2019/01/linger-battle_14.html" target="_blank">linger </a>and move much slower. I do think that I made great strides this month to work on slowing down and to not rush through my to do list just to check things off. The environment in our home is much more peaceful, and as I went through the pictures from this month I am able to see that peace on my children's faces. In my heart I am feeling much better too. I hope to keep up with this slower home culture throughout the year.</div>

Yep, yep, I got it. I'm just trying to catch-up on cataloging the end of last year and the beginning of this year. The rest of this week will probably be a catch-up week, but that is okay because these posts are for us. Looking back at November, we spent a lot of time learning, and enjoying our finally remodeled home decorating it for Christmas. We always take the holidays slow, and this year was no different. November was fun, focused, and peaceful.<br />

I am a big fan of having one activity that can be used to teach multiple objectives. It’s a big perk, if that activity will grow with my child & I can use it at multiple stages of cognitive development. And if it is seasonally exciting, well then I. Am. Sold. This is one of those activities, and I have it for you today <b><a href="https://drive.google.com/open?id=1MNsF0AeHUEq94dZOP5V1k6wkfPdowwzT" target="_blank">FREE</a></b>!

<span style="color: black;"><span style="background-color: white; text-align: -webkit-center; transition: all 0.2s ease-in-out 0s;"><span style="font-family: Work Sans;">It's been quite some time since I have written a post like this. Oooops, sorry! But this one, ooooooh it's a good one. Also a little silly. Actually, a lot silly. ;-) My husband & I have been on the hunt for years for the best dish sponge thingy. (I don't know what you call it in your house, but that is what we call it). Seriously we have tried every single brand, high price point, low price point, generic, name brand.....all of them. And you know what they all have in common?! They leak!!!!! These dish sponge thingys leak dish soap, which infuriates me because I don't want to wash money down the drain (quite literally!). Well I took the case to Amazon (If you know me the only shocker here is how long it took me to go to my trusty Amazon app). I read dozens of reviews, and found the Oxo Dish Scrub. The reviews said that it worked, but I was quite skeptical. I ordered it anyways, because I was mad at the one leaking in my sink. It arrived. Hypothesis was created, and the experiment was designed and executed. We are 4 weeks in, and not a drop of soap has been wasted. I can't even believe I'm typing this or that I actually have excitement about a dish scrubber..... a little bit sad in a way. Nah who cares, that thing makes doing dishes better because I'm not wasting soap and constantly having to refill it. I highly recommend this one for doing dishes. The scrubber is great. The soap stays in the scrubber and the soap dispenser actually works. Loading it with soap is so easy! <a href="https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B0009J4YA4/ref=oh_aui_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1" target="_blank">Get this one</a>! I promise it works! Now if you will excuse me, I have some dishes to do.</span></span></span><br />

I wish I could tell you how much this picture means to me. </div>
<div align="center">
But I can't. </div>
<div align="center">
It's too much. </div>
<div align="center">
My heart just might explode. </div>
<div align="center">
I remember the years I spent crying in this room, on that same window seat, pleading with the Lord after a loss, to reopen my womb. Then I remember the maternity pictures taken on that bench as I dreamt of motherhood. And now here I sit on that same window seat, 4 years since those maternity pictures, with my arms full and my heart even fuller than I could have ever imagined possible. Oh the responsibilities, challenges, tears, effort .... every bit of it I prayed for, and friends, let me tell you God Listens to every word and sees every tear. You are never alone, and the Lord is doing good work in your story. The Lord is rarely early, but He's never late; we are never forgotten. Not a day goes by, where I don't get a giant lump in my throat thinking about what the Lord has brought us through and gifted us with and I am so grateful.</div>

<br />
I am very cautious with incentives. Food is never used as a reward to encourage behavior because I don't want to enable an unhealthy relationship with food. Also I don't want to initiate a token economy where my kids are only doing behaviors (or not doing) for a reward/punishment. Anyone can be trained to say something, but does that change their heart? Usually not. According to the Bible, our behavior is an outpouring of our heart, so we have A LOT of conversations in our home to ensure our kids learn right from wrong and develop internal motivation.<br />
<br />
In the past we have used colored <a href="http://lifewiththehawleys.blogspot.com/2018/09/brave-grown-spaces_12.html" target="_blank">Popsicle sticks</a> and <a href="http://lifewiththehawleys.blogspot.com/2018/06/the-ticket-jar-tool-for-character.html" target="_blank">a ticket jar </a>to help us with character & behavior training. Both have worked well, but I wanted to try out something new. No matter how we are training our children, we know that they are very visual, so they need to be able to <i>see </i>their progress.<br />
<br />
I printed these<a href="https://drive.google.com/open?id=1dHBrMlwcIdmlMrzL8Kc01rgpeOAYmfbl" target="_blank"> behavior cards</a> in color on cardstock paper so that they would hold-up with the punching. Every time one of my kids uses their manners, is kind, shares, listens well, cleans up without being asked, is respectful and obedient, and has a generous spirit and demonstrates a servants heart, they get to punch their card. They usually like to pick the color that they want, and then punch the hole. Dutch can punch his card by himself, but Ellis needs help or she tells Dutch what color she wants and he helps her.<br />
<br />
I get the kids to punch their own cards, because I want them to know that this is all about THEIR behavior and they need to take responsibility for their own actions. When their card is completed, they earn special activities (i.e. a field trip, go feed the ducks, they get to pick the book before bed, etc.)<br />
<br />
This is all about positive reinforcement. If they are disrespectful or do not use their manners, nothing happens to the card, they just don't get to punch it. Since they are working towards completing their card, poor behavior sets them back from their goal. Withholding a hole punch is a really big deal to them.<br />
<br />
This has been working really well in our home lately so I thought I would share it with you (<a href="https://drive.google.com/open?id=1dHBrMlwcIdmlMrzL8Kc01rgpeOAYmfbl" target="_blank">free printable</a>).<br />

I have gathered supplies since last summer, and today I want to share with you the books that we will be using this month. We will be studying the solar system, constellations, phases of the moon, land forms, layers of the earth, and these books have already been great resources. <br />

Because of the super blood wolf moon earlier this week, I figured it was the perfect time to start this unit, even if it was a little early. We have been having a lot of fun discovering the amazing earth the Lord created! It delights me to watch the excitement and curiosity my children have towards these subjects.<br />

Because I have tried to figure this out for quite some time, so if this silly little tip helps even one person, my day will be made :-) And if you're laughing to yourself because I wrote a post about this, let me just tell you, what you <i>should </i>be laughing at is the fact that it took me X decades to figure this out. Really, that is what is truly funny.<a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-MbohICYJJmk/XDKNVpocYoI/AAAAAAAAjdY/uVQhHGk6VZ0w7VSDph_KrPmcEIJc68McwCHMYCw/s1600-h/Hanger%2BHack-%2BLife%2Bwith%2Bthe%2BHawleys%255B3%255D"><img alt="Hanger Hack- Life with the Hawleys" border="0" height="637" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-ABW0hj_jIpY/XDKNWGvXYzI/AAAAAAAAjdc/dNZkKEBFJzsamQRBCevskgssSb4HF06JACHMYCw/Hanger%2BHack-%2BLife%2Bwith%2Bthe%2BHawleys_thumb%255B1%255D?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border: 0px currentcolor; display: block; float: none; margin: 0px auto;" title="Hanger Hack- Life with the Hawleys" width="373" /></a><br />
Okay, I'm a hanger person. I hang all of my clothes in the closet. I like to see everything I have to decide what I'm going to wear (yes, I'm aware how very first world this sounds). If I can't see it, then I don't wear it, which is no good. This means that a dresser doesn't work for me (also I just don't want another piece of furniture in my room).<br />
<br />
But if you hang your winter sweaters on hangers, and some other shirts too, they get those weird fabric bumps from the hanger. Then when you go to wear the shirt it looks like you have two giant lumps on your shoulders. Not attractive.<br />
<br />
It took me decades to figure this trick out so I'm going to share it with you so that you don't have those funny shoulder bumps. And if you have known this forever, please don't tell me ;-)<br />
<br />
<div align="center">
First, fold your shirt in half.<a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-vx7IMXqpYNQ/XDKNWx4AhbI/AAAAAAAAjdg/0Tt2qvIlQFgY_SAm5wmSNUsN3lshpPa7ACHMYCw/s1600-h/20190106_163914%255B4%255D"><img alt="20190106_163914" border="0" height="575" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-N4S3_e8CyhE/XDKNXgokbWI/AAAAAAAAjdk/OqHx84gB0Zky8s46JAwLLG26DP7ls45zACHMYCw/20190106_163914_thumb%255B1%255D?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border: 0px currentcolor; display: block; float: none; margin: 0px auto;" title="20190106_163914" width="323" /></a></div>
<div align="center">
Lay the hanger upside down at the armpit of the shirt, with the hook pointing towards the folded arms (this will help when you hang the shirt to see which shirt it is, and not just the arm of the shirt).<a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-ssCtrS52y08/XDKNYVgz60I/AAAAAAAAjdo/sLWh8m2lXowb4XuUTzXbeZwtSXwR4JBkwCHMYCw/s1600-h/20190106_163941%255B5%255D"><img alt="20190106_163941" border="0" height="562" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-KShJc3GmMs8/XDKNZEfDwJI/AAAAAAAAjds/Tt-AkftT4DkexEgOZcwLhGbkC9iAR3GvACHMYCw/20190106_163941_thumb%255B2%255D?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border: 0px currentcolor; display: block; float: none; margin: 0px auto;" title="20190106_163941" width="316" /></a></div>
<div align="center">
Fold the arms <em>over</em> the top rung of the hanger, and <em>under</em> the bottom bar.<a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-JZeGq6Xj1pQ/XDKNZrxzvUI/AAAAAAAAjdw/zO-tzXOq0Hw2eDbJd_Ogf0Cib5pgwN8AACHMYCw/s1600-h/20190106_163958%255B4%255D"><img alt="20190106_163958" border="0" height="566" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-1ULUwsgsTu0/XDKNaPZJLOI/AAAAAAAAjd0/Nn0Y0URNR58ul6rjQRgPEnspzfrL5-gYwCHMYCw/20190106_163958_thumb%255B1%255D?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border: 0px currentcolor; display: block; float: none; margin: 0px auto;" title="20190106_163958" width="318" /></a></div>
<div align="center">
Do this again with the abdominal portion of the shirt (<em>over</em> the top rung, and <em>under</em> the bottom bar).<a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-flrlCYoNrhk/XDKNa0_B-dI/AAAAAAAAjd4/yMg7CoNuoSQVZS8ZXwLzNN9iZ23zF8IgwCHMYCw/s1600-h/20190106_164135%255B5%255D"><img alt="20190106_164135" border="0" height="563" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-OgpfHdizsgU/XDKNbdWMmnI/AAAAAAAAjd8/T75fv1c4DLEul1g1gD4tyEh5bTdCOTomACHMYCw/20190106_164135_thumb%255B2%255D?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border: 0px currentcolor; display: block; float: none; margin: 0px auto;" title="20190106_164135" width="317" /></a></div>
Now you are ready to hang your shirt in the closet so that you can see it without getting fabric indentations at the shoulders. See, super easy trick!

It has worked for me. The past 2 years I feel like <a href="http://lifewiththehawleys.blogspot.com/2018/02/more.html" target="_blank">"more"</a> was my word (other years: <a href="http://lifewiththehawleys.blogspot.com/2015/07/word-of-year_27.html" target="_blank">"perseverance"</a> & <a href="http://lifewiththehawleys.blogspot.com/2017/01/rerooting.html" target="_blank">"rerooting"</a>). Honestly, I still think that "more" will continue to be my word for a long time; the Lord is using that word as a mantra to teach me and grow me. But this year two <em>more</em> words (pun not intended) seem to be continually presenting themselves in my mind: linger & battle. I have prayed about these words for a couple months now and I think I am going to add these as my words for 2019 to focus on. At first linger and battle might seem completely contradictory, but for me they go together perfectly.<a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-yCYzmx-T718/XDKBIDsBphI/AAAAAAAAjc4/wbvfxYLpZ9wxJT7nQC2cNxcSMY4LYusGACHMYCw/s1600-h/Linger%2Band%2BBattle-%2BLife%2Bwith%2Bthe%2BHawleys%255B3%255D"><img alt="Linger and Battle- Life with the Hawleys" border="0" height="669" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-EQLKoSo8Uy0/XDKBIlFDUlI/AAAAAAAAjc8/2yDDN5GX_as3SoMTMEvxvLo6sqda50eogCHMYCw/Linger%2Band%2BBattle-%2BLife%2Bwith%2Bthe%2BHawleys_thumb%255B1%255D?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border: 0px currentcolor; display: block; float: none; margin: 0px auto;" title="Linger and Battle- Life with the Hawleys" width="478" /></a><br />
Towards the end of that last year I knew that I was reaching my limits. I have said "yes" to ev-er-y-thing for several years (like an entire decade); I cannot even list it all because it is just too much. I have not had a vacation in over five years (I have not even taken maternity leave), and I am so weary. I knew going into the fall that some serious changes needed to be made; I needed BALANCE. People say, "you can't do it all" but that is wrong, or maybe I should say that it is an incomplete statement. You <i>can </i>do it all, just not all at the <i>same time</i>. I want to do all the things and enjoy all the wonderful things that life presents, just not all at the same time. Additionally, I don't have to give 200% of myself to everything (and numerically, that isn't even possible). I do not want to rush through life just checking off lists. I want to be present. I want to sit in the present, and not be taunted by my thoughts about what else I should be or could be doing. I want to sit on the couch and be fully engaged in the story I'm reading. I want to have a conversation fully engaged. I don't want to kill myself trying to check off a list, and completely overwhelm my body by constantly going and never sleeping. I want to be rested so that I can give of myself more completely.<br />
<br />
So to <b><i>linger </i></b>this year means to me that I want to slow down, <i>significantly</i>. I do not mean linger, as in to loiter, to be lazy, or to dismiss my daily obligations. Instead what I mean by linger is to be fully engaged in the present. I want to sit in the present and allow it to happen instead of hurrying through it. I want to be led by my interests, <i>not </i>by a to do list or accomplishments or to do all the things at the same time. I want to follow the interests of my husband and kids. I want to engage the gifts God has graced me with. I want to listen as well as to lead. I want to not only eat three meals a day (which in and of itself hardly happens), but I want to enjoy the people and conversation around that table with me. I want to make more time for tea parties and books with my kids than to do lists. I want to use the gift of time and flexibility that God has given me to focus on my family. I want to linger with my family so that they get my best, not my left-overs. My family deserves more from me than a sleep deprived, overworked, weary woman. All of this is me desiring to <b><i>linger in the present.</i></b><br />
<br />
In order to linger throughout the year, and to make that lifestyle change, I will have to <b><i>battle </i></b>to protect and fiercely defend my time and my choices. I do <i>not </i>want to be catching up on emails at 2 am while my family sleeps and then completely dependent upon caffeine to get me through the next day, every day. I want to say "no" or "not now" more. Why do we applaud the person that stresses themselves out and seems to do it all?! They are running their bodies into the ground to accomplish everything. I know, because I have been that person for the last 15 years. Not only that, I have researched this topic for 15 years, yet I hypocritically do the opposite of my scientific conclusions. Why?! I always advise friends and colleagues to "be selfish with their time" (not in a pompous way, but to be guarded with your choices), and I NEVER follow my own advise. This year I am. I will be focused on my family more than others, and I will <b><i>battle to protect my time to linger</i></b>, to be present, to sleep more than 3 hours a night, to read a book for fun, to not be perfect and still be okay with that, to hustle for joy over business and accomplishments, to enjoy the life God has given me.<br />
<br />
So this year, I am moving slower, I am going to battle to protect my time to linger in the present. I will joyfully embrace the life God has given me in 2019<a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-De8s6LLqtXM/XDKBJmUxVfI/AAAAAAAAjdA/7NnKw3QMQU0HtsEUdSNGAb-6Uz-_MiR2gCHMYCw/s1600-h/Romans%2B12_2%2BLife%2Bwith%2Bthe%2BHawleys%255B3%255D"><img alt="Romans 12_2 Life with the Hawleys" border="0" height="412" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-9KB_TVdOUWY/XDKBKJ78U8I/AAAAAAAAjdE/MYpO7KAJMSA8Oq4Ivx-n8NKFxnuH7XXvwCHMYCw/Romans%2B12_2%2BLife%2Bwith%2Bthe%2BHawleys_thumb%255B1%255D?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border: 0px currentcolor; display: block; float: none; margin: 0px auto;" title="Romans 12_2 Life with the Hawleys" width="620" /></a>Darby Hawleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05946381056890879072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2431024853865888848.post-67448197821946228092019-01-11T05:00:00.000-06:002019-01-11T05:00:07.304-06:00Shepherd's DinnerThe first time I heard about this was last fall (2018) and I knew immediately that I wanted to make this a new Christmas tradition in our home. One night the week before Christmas we dressed up like shepherds, & ate on the floor with only the light of candles & the Christmas tree. We ate the meal a shepherd might have eaten in the time of Jesus, we read about the shepherds from our Bible & focused on the anticipation of the Christ's birth, and ultimate return. <br />
<div align="center">
<i>What might that night have been like for the shepherds? </i></div>
<div align="center">
<i>How will we act as we wait on the return? </i></div>
<div align="left">
Christmas extends far past Christ's birth and that night we took time to focus on the experience the Shepherds might have experienced and recognized that God felt it important that even the lowly shepherds hear The Good News. This first Shepherd's dinner was such a treasure for us, and something my kids are still talking about. This is definitely a new Hawley Christmas tradition.<a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-AGcboZQ8HO8/XC7t8kbRl6I/AAAAAAAAjck/rYh5maaNe7UGA9tBIzl5xMnHxVcQCYXAACHMYCw/s1600-h/DSC_0136%255B4%255D"><img alt="DSC_0136" border="0" height="410" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-0dm8KTXwpNw/XC7t9K0EEHI/AAAAAAAAjco/N1dD87LWCrUJ4n5f-q00NEhAd77ku9ofwCHMYCw/DSC_0136_thumb%255B1%255D?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border: 0px currentcolor; display: block; float: none; margin: 0px auto;" title="DSC_0136" width="619" /></a></div>

Never!Yea yea yea, I know it's January, but I just did not have a chance to jot anything down in December. The month was so busy, as I'm sure that you know, & sitting down to write and document the season just didn't happen. So I'm playing a little bit of catch up because I want to make sure that these moments are chronicled for later. <br />
<br />
At the beginning of December we went to go see Santa. Dutch asked for a knight helmet and Ellis asked for a pink bicycle helmet (not the bike, just the head gear. haha) I treasure these photos because they truly capture the magic of Christmas. I want to cherish these special years as much as I can, for as long as I can. I know that I don't have many years with little ones at Christmas so these photos are extra special to me. Thank you bestie for these!<br />

I forgot to add this to the pack, so I want to share this fun math & handwriting tool with you today.<a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-4lyJgVpkFkA/XC7ioXRQ7lI/AAAAAAAAjZE/QTt3chkIHLABUfb_n41mndp_Z2eXTZbXACHMYCw/s1600-h/Roll%2BWrite%2BCount%2BWinter%2BSleigh-%2BLight%2Bwith%2Bthe%2BHawleys%255B3%255D"><img alt="Roll Write Count Winter Sleigh- Light with the Hawleys" border="0" height="635" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-m0Qlr7rkicM/XC7ipNqaUbI/AAAAAAAAjZI/FNuyP2AJEAkuhqRWY9ruXzpHMMzutmh_wCHMYCw/Roll%2BWrite%2BCount%2BWinter%2BSleigh-%2BLight%2Bwith%2Bthe%2BHawleys_thumb%255B1%255D?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border: 0px currentcolor; display: block; float: none; margin: 0px auto;" title="Roll Write Count Winter Sleigh- Light with the Hawleys" width="421" /></a><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-eOjqeVgXvk4/XC7ipse2Z4I/AAAAAAAAjZM/YSuUvRn78MIry07ZvhOODpS8eC3Jx8MugCHMYCw/s1600-h/Hawley%2BHomeschool%255B6%255D"><img alt="Hawley Homeschool" border="0" height="169" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-rtmuVpU6lq0/XC7iqXhh90I/AAAAAAAAjZQ/3Omhn7i5y68NvRVqB-7zssx2Vd9AK5iZACHMYCw/Hawley%2BHomeschool_thumb%255B4%255D?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border: 0px currentcolor; display: block; float: none; margin: 0px auto;" title="Hawley Homeschool" width="253" /></a><br />
I am a big fan of having one activity that can be used to teach multiple objectives. It’s a big perk, if that activity will grow with my child & I can use it at multiple stages of cognitive development. And if it is <em>seasonally</em> exciting, well then<strong> I. Am. Sold.</strong> This is one of those activities, and I have it for you today<strong> <a href="https://drive.google.com/open?id=1ZW1E8PGsXiJrH2QmljuhQ44yH-PuptSk" target="_blank">FREE</a></strong><strong></strong>! Let me share with you all of the ways we use this in our home.<a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-TdJ301YTwR8/XC7irEeDEjI/AAAAAAAAjZU/8gmbRvAV7Z8NOyS2gk7TTftkPbiGgHv2ACHMYCw/s1600-h/DSC_0137%255B4%255D"><img alt="DSC_0137" border="0" height="410" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-KHGRfYWFekI/XC7ir0kvCdI/AAAAAAAAjZY/wdFKp1DVDl0_yd3Hm-93REGos81T_VGiQCHMYCw/DSC_0137_thumb%255B1%255D?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border: 0px currentcolor; display: block; float: none; margin: 0px auto;" title="DSC_0137" width="619" /></a><br />
First get the <a href="https://drive.google.com/open?id=1ZW1E8PGsXiJrH2QmljuhQ44yH-PuptSk" target="_blank"><strong>FREE download</strong></a>, print, & laminate (or put into a page protector). We like to use white pom pom balls, cotton balls or marshmallows as snow balls. We have also used small pine trees and mittens to help us count.<a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/--Nm_qx2xFWM/XC7istNyaqI/AAAAAAAAjZc/wEeXG3AogdEld5LAelj5bYDvYKT79keYwCHMYCw/s1600-h/DSC_0138%255B4%255D"><img alt="DSC_0138" border="0" height="410" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-TIyT3LYxGMQ/XC7itKXUU_I/AAAAAAAAjZg/_5EBBz86qVUxcgaBVuSDuupymAXZux5aACHMYCw/DSC_0138_thumb%255B1%255D?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; display: block; float: none; margin: 0px auto;" title="DSC_0138" width="619" /></a><br /><strong><u>Roll</u></strong>. Use <a href="https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B002NCE6OE/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1">foam dice</a> to roll a number in the top 2 boxes. If your child is not counting above 6 yet, you can use a single dice.<br /><strong><u>Add</u></strong>. Ask your child to count up the dots, or to add them together for a sum. If you’re past addition, try subtraction. Comparisons also work great here (write greater than or less than on the sheet, or “write the number of the dice with more dots”).<br /><strong><u>Write</u></strong>. Your child could write the sum as a digit or a word, both numbers presented on each dice, or trace the digit or word. We use dry erase markers since they erase well on the laminated material.<br /><strong><u>Count</u></strong>. Using manipulatives, get your child to count out the number that was presented on the dice.<br /><strong><u>Fun</u></strong>. Enjoy!!!!<a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-N9U0hcu4P2s/XC7it9ydRAI/AAAAAAAAjZk/zcU77qi5yXUHbnfq72FGwlWRPKIKxHAGACHMYCw/s1600-h/DSC_0134%255B4%255D"><img alt="DSC_0134" border="0" height="410" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-wxDk2g0LuKU/XC7iurPYOcI/AAAAAAAAjZo/UdkpNvxGih4ikFJutNj8FpIvQ7cMGJ6IACHMYCw/DSC_0134_thumb%255B1%255D?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border: 0px currentcolor; display: block; float: none; margin: 0px auto;" title="DSC_0134" width="619" /></a><br />
