The Three Little Pigs

Today I have a little writing packet that is very specifically made to teach beginning writers how to write a paragraph.

I've included 4 different types of writing.

Just click on any page to download.


Each draft page is set in a flip book manner.
This helps to separate out the sentences.


You'll find the flip book bases at the very end of the file.


I've also included final draft pages as well.


Yes, so thank you for visiting.
I hope these can be helpful to your beginner writers.

Resting with the Robinson Curriculum

It's time for us to take a small RC { Robinson Curriculum } detour and put our traditional school books aside while we school from rest for a while.

Here is what the girls will be working on this week and next:

Saxon Math { a lesson a day }
4 Readers at 30 mins / or chapter each day.  I've tried to diversify their reading a little.
Writing { outlining and a written page of work }

At the moment I've scheduled it like this:

You know what would be really awesome is if I posted photos of all the books etc.. that they read from.   Definitely look for that in the future when we do RC.

Decode and Write

I finally decided to separate out these particular types of worksheets and finish off the short vowel sounds since that is where Charlotte is these days.  Then I bundled them up and put them on TpT as well.



If you're interested, there are 10 worksheets in the pack { 2 worksheets x 5 vowels } and I've priced it at $2.00.  You can print them up a bajillion times if you like for personal use.  Priced as if you had only one student, but if you have any more than that, it will make it a bargain buy.

Just click the cover to go and check it out.

Book Treasures

This morning when we went out we did a favourite detour to a local second hand shop, and here is what I got:

I was just perusing Trailblazer books online on the weekend only to discover one available to purchase in real life.  I thought that was nice.   { 50 cents }


Armies of Ants
I have seen this particular book before online and thought it would be great to have, so you can imagine how quickly I picked it up and added it to my collection.  It's in amazing condition and for 50 cents you can't go wrong with that.


Another awesome bargain this morning were these three books.  Christian analogy styled writing.  All three books are connected. Like a Part One, Part Two, Part Three.  { $1 each }


A great condition Penguin Book.  { $1 }  I just wanted to add it to my Penguin Collection.


The really huge bargain this morning goes to this book.  { $2 }  It looks like someone bought it but never used it.  Yep.  I kid you not.  But I will soon remedy that.  My plan is to give this to Hannah as of today, immediately for History/Social Studies. 

Pollyanna { $1 } and previously from the same store Pollyanna Grows Up { $1 }.  In fantastic condition.


Yes, I hope that you have been blessed in your book shop excursions as well.

Week 22

The colder months are now upon us.  It's even started snowing up on the hills.

What better time to enjoy savoury cheese scones on those cold, wintry wet afternoons.


Noah loves to have me take photos.


Charlotte loves to do her maths on her own.  It makes her feel accomplished.


Here she is with her Touch Numerals.


The girls are growing as well.
