    A Review of ARTistic Pursuits – Elementary (K-3) Book 2, Stories of Artists and their Art

    We have been using ARTistic Pursuits for the past several years in our homeschool.  I really love this program and would recommend it to any homeschooler looking for an easy to follow, comprehensive, and fun art curriculum.

Early Elementary K-3, Book 2 is quite similar in the level of difficulty.  It really depends on what you put…

    A Review of ARTistic Pursuits, Elementary 4-5, Book 1 (The Elements of Art and Composition)

    We were excited to have the opportunity to review Elementary 4-5, Book 1:The Elements of Art and Compositionfrom ARTistic Pursuits.    As a family, we naturally enjoy doing art together and working on different drawing projects in our homeschool.   The books are a full art curriculum and come in many levels from Preschool to High School.  I chose this particular level because I really wanted a book that would challenge our children’s developing art skills.   The Layout What I love about the ARTistic Pursuits books is how in-depth and complete they are for art study.  If you have one of these books for your year, you will have a…

    A Detailed (and Whole-Hearted!) Review of Draw Write Now

    Draw Write Now  is not only an engaging copywork and printing program, but also blends joyful art, drawing, mapping, geography and history concepts easily and seamlessly.  These books really present a ‘living education’ to children.   I call this a ‘whole-hearted’ review because I can, with my whole heart, give a glowing report of our experience with these wonderful books.  (I love it when that happens!) I am overjoyed to share with you my review of the Draw Write Now boxed set.  The wonderful people at Draw Write Now were very kind to send it to me and I am so grateful!

    Winter Nature Study (…and a Review of NaturExplorers – Coping with the Cold)

      We have been thoroughly enjoying our study of “Coping with the Cold“, a nature study unit focusing on how animals survive the Winter.  I wanted to write a quite detailed review because author Cindy West has truly created something very special in these unit studies. I’m excited to share them in hopes that other Moms and educators will find an incredible (and affordable!) tool for implementing more quality Nature Study into their homeschool.   Friends, these Nature Study units are FANTASTIC!   The NaturExplorers series is wonderfully in depth and so Charlotte Mason-friendly. Cindy has packed the pages full of incredible ideas and inspirations to jump start all kinds…
