In The Classroom...


There is nothing like learning at home that thrills my children.
Freckles loves school at home.
She has her very own little corner of the house, set up as a schoolroom...
her desk, books, learning tools and chalkboard,
gives her a stimulating yet comforting place to
learn her skills in her own home.

She enjoys reading, almost anything she
can get her hands on, especially when it comes
to researching something she is fascinated with.

When she reads, it's as if she has
the whole world in her little hands

She really loves to learn about our true
American history and is quite patriotic.

Every morning she wakes up and say's,
"alright, ya ready to do school !"
Every morning I wake up and thank God for providing such a blessing
to be home, teaching my children.

Because, they are worth it!!!!

In The Class Room...


Since home schooling our children for the last 9 years,
I began collecting old school items, books, globes, etc...

We have two old desks...
One that is from the 30's-40's
as, the other dates around the 50's or later.
We LOVE our oldie...it is perfect for our daughter.
The top lifts up so she is able to store her books and papers.
It even has a place for an ink well!

Our collection of books have grown quite a bit over the years.
I find myself hunting down the old vintage children books, classics and readers.
Keeping a basket full of rotating books,
keeps my little girl interested in all the books we have collected.
We like anything that yesteryear has to offer...like flashcards.
I found these really cute flashcards by Martha Stewart,
which had just the sweetest vintage, yesteryear feel to them...
who could resist the sweet drawings of alphabet animals?
Our globe was a great find from junking around...
$2.00 for an old globe dating around the late 40's-50's.
We love it and we use it!


We are still working on a few more things before we officially start school,
plus we are waiting on our supplies and books for the year....
Though we are always teaching and learning anyway.
Patience !!!
