Website of the week: Stickers and Charts

StickersandCharts.com is this site I found a few weeks ago when I was searching for ideas to make a weather chart for our calendar math area at home. You don't have to print the printables on sticker sheets. I printed mine on plain copy paper, cut them, and glued them to card stock (you can glue them to construction paper too).This site hassports stickers and chartsSmiley stickers and stamp

Schooling in a small space

We are participating in a "Not Back to School Blog Hop" sponsored by Darcy at Life with my 3 Boybarians each Monday in August. This week the topic is school rooms. We live in a small space, a 2 bedroom 800 square foot apartment. It is 898 square feet if you count our outdoor patio area.

My Trash to Treasure Bulletin Board (Seasons Tree)

When you homeschool in small space like us, you have to think of creative ways to use space. This week we have been getting our homeschool space ready for our first day which is August 17th. Some of our purchased curriculum arrived earlier this month and after opening the box we were left with this...packing material.

Wednesday "Birds"

Wednesday "Birds"

There is much wonder and joy in a birds song.....
In the beginning God created the world! His love reached out and provided us with costless joys through our 5 senses. Hear a song, see colour, smell a flower, feel life, taste fruit.

Without flowers and fruit for them to feed off.
Without a heart that feels the joy and without a camera to capture and hold the moment.
