http://mylittleliterates.blogspot.com/2011/11/five-in-row.html
Wednesday, November 9, 2011. Five in a Row. No, no . I didn't switch our curriculum (although FIAR is awesome and I love to peruse their book lists! No, "Five in a Row" would be my nickname for our crew these days:. Aren't they too stinkin' cute? From L-R: Corbin (4.5 years), Samuel (20 mos.), Josiah (7 weeks), Abby (6 years), and Daniel (3 years). Oh, how I love those babies! Cutest 10 lbs. 12 oz. of chub you ever did see! Here he is moments after birth:. And here is a recent one:. Book Review: The Help.

Little Literates: An Inspired Little Boy
http://mylittleliterates.blogspot.com/2011/11/inspired-little-boy.html
Friday, November 11, 2011. An Inspired Little Boy. I have been working with Corbin on learning to read, and while it hasn't been unpleasant by any means, what he is learning hasn't been sticking as well as I would like it to. He is compliant and cheerful and cooperative during his lessons, but it just seems like he isn't really paying close enough attention to retain what we are doing. Just recently we have had several breakthroughs that have made me really hopeful that everything is about to change!

Little Literates: Book Review: The Help
http://mylittleliterates.blogspot.com/2011/11/book-review-help.html
Saturday, November 26, 2011. Book Review: The Help. I have heard so much about the movie based off of the book The Help,. By Kathryn Stockett. I am not a moviegoer, and definitely am not one to watch a movie before reading the book, so after hearing great reviews of the movie from several people whose judgment I trust, I decided it was time to see what the hoopla was all about. I purchased a copy and set it next to my nursing chair. Oh boy. I didn't know what I was getting into! I can't recommend The Help.

Little Literates: Ssshhhhh!!!
http://mylittleliterates.blogspot.com/2011/11/ssshhhhh.html
Sunday, November 13, 2011. Can you keep a secret? I'm going to give you a sneak peak under the comforter in the back of my closet and let you see what some of our Christmas presents will be! Good thing my kids don't know how to work the internet quite yet. :). This year, however, I realized that would be FIFTEEN new toys coming into our home just from our own gift-giving. That doesn't even count all of the extended family! Thus, the new Christmas gift guidelines:. One simple thing they need,. The awesome...

Little Literates: Five in a Row Goes to the Library
http://mylittleliterates.blogspot.com/2011/11/five-in-row-goes-to-library.html
Monday, November 14, 2011. Five in a Row Goes to the Library. Today we made our first very brave, very eventful trip to the library since Josiah was born. Mommy was very proud of her little clan, even if there were some disapproving stares from bystanders. The kids behaved very well - each according to their age and ability - all mature and respectful, so those who disapprove just because there are MORE of them are the ones with the problem! For Mom) Motivated Minds: Raising Children to Love Learning -.

Little Literates: November 2009
http://mylittleliterates.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
Tuesday, November 24, 2009. I am often times asked how it is that I "school" such young children. I get this frowning, skeptical look that implies that I must be some harsh over-achieving Mom, torturing my children with hours of lessons and drills. This is drastically far from the truth, and I want to share what homeschooling means at this stage in our family. It seems to be a common misconception that learning doesn't. Be learned by this age or that; but, on the contrary, is an exploration and experimen...
