L.E.N.S Photo Challenge – Physical Education

L.E.N.S Photo Challenge – Physical Education

The L.E.N.S. Photo Challenge this week is Physical Education.  In our homeschooling journey, we do incorporate P.E.  Our local Recreation Center offers a class for homeschoolers once a week for an hour.  During the warmer months, we meet at the park with our group as well for fun and structured play dates.  During the winter time, when we aren’t able to meet as much, we find other ways of getting active.  When it snows, that means sledding!  Yes, there is a lot of physical activity in sledding.  Especially when you have to walk up the hill!  My kids have a blast sledding and playing in the snow.

Since we have had a lot of snow this winter.  They have had a lot of chances to sled.  Here is one of the pictures that I got of 2 of the kids sledding together.

 

Be sure to visit Home Is Where You Start From to see the blogs linking up.  There are always great pictures to look at!

The Little Moments

The Little Moments

Homeschooling can be challenging at times. I always worry I am not doing enough the kids. I worry about if they are really understanding the lessons that we do.

Then little moments pop up and confirms that I am doing the right thing. That how I am teaching them is working.

Like just a bit ago. My youngest who will be 5 on February 10th, wanted to play a game on my laptop. While I was out of the room, she spelled and typed all by herself star. She was looking for the game starfall.com. We have been working on writing our letters and spelling our name. It looks like she is ready for a little bit more spelling.

Yes, little moments like this really make a homeschooling momma proud. I am so happy that we are homeschooling our kids. I love seeing them do things like this for the first time.

Helpful Homeschooling Websites

Helpful Homeschooling Websites

It has been in my heart lately to share more on homeschooling. Since this is our 8th year of homeschooling, I have a few websites I use often every year. Perhaps the websites will be helpful to you. One good thing about them? They are free! I like free things and I am pretty sure you do too!

The first website that I am going to tell you about is Learning Page. I like this site for several reasons. The first is it has handwriting pages you can copy. You can choose what style of writing to print out. It has Zaner-Bloser, D’Nealian and Cursive. Learning Page also has themes. It has basic themes like time, money and numbers. It also has different ones for animals, the ocean and space. Learning Page also includes monthly sheets that has different themes for different holidays and special days of the month. They all come with fact files and fun worksheets. One of the things that also drew me to Learning Page is the books section. It is a series of books about a little boy named Tommy. The books comes with teacher’s notes, worksheets and fact files. You can print these books out and read them daily. My kids have had a blast with these little unit studies. Perhaps you and your children will too.

The next website that we have used often is Science Buddies. we go to this site every year when we start planning out science fair projects. Science Buddies has a section for teachers, parents and students. It has over a thousand of ideas for science projects. It will tell you what you need for the project as well as walk you through the project. Science Buddies even has a place where you can ask an expert about a project if you are having trouble. Science Buddies has a blog, a newsletter and a facebook page that will keep you up to date on any changes or new ideas that come out. So be sure to check this place out.

By no means have I received any compensation for talking about these 2 websites. They are just websites that I have come across in my homeschooling journey and has helped us with new little studies and ideas. Hopefully they will also benefit you in your homeschooling journey.

Blessings to you all!
