Heather drew this while waiting on me to giver her a spelling test.....:)

I wanted to post some of the videos that I have used to teach Jacob some of his nursery rhymes, counting, and alphabet.....These are awesome tools for me, since he LOVES the computer! I am also going to post links to websites that have TONS of  FREE awesome materials :)


This is the video that I used to teach Jacob Itsy, Bitsy, Spider...

This is the video that we used to learn Ba, Ba, Black Sheep...

Hickory, Dickory, Dock...

I'm a Little Teapot....

Jacob loves all of the Shawn the train videos.....this is one that I used to help with numbers...

This one we have used for colors, Jacob seems to have the hardest time with his colors...

Here are some awesome websites that are very helpful to me....

Meet our students :)

These are my babies.....aka...my kids

This is Heather :)

She is 9 yrs. old and has been home schooled since the 1st grade.
She is now in the 4th grade!!! I can hardly believe how quickly she is growing up. Her favorite subject would have to be art. she LOVES to color, paint, draw, or do anything art minded.













This is Jacob :)

He is 4 yrs. old and is starting preschool this year. He is VERY active, and loves to build things. He is a very systematic thinker. He loves books and his favorite activity is to take crayons and sort them out, build shapes with them....really anything BUT color. He is not a fan of coloring :( He does love to cut and glue anything.






and this is Emma :)

We anticipate her arrival sometime around Feb. 10. We are all so excited to meet her for the first time!! Right now her favorite thing is kicking mommy all over!! (Which I don't mind at all) ;)









I have created this blog so that we would have a wonderful way to look back on our journey and so we can share our homeschooling adventure with you :)
