52 Lists week #50; Accomplishments

-
Oh boy! This week's list assignment: List your Accomplishments for 2016  really stumped me at first.



I do enjoy thinking back through the year and looking at all that we've done.  I look at how much the kids and their skills have grown.  And yet I rarely think of those types of things as accomplishments... I know they are but I have a hard time thinking of them that way.

This year I think my biggest accomplishments have taken place right here on my blog!

I made a promise to myself that I would take one year and try to transform my blog from more of a daily diary to more of an authentic blog.



I would take one year to work at promoting my blog, linking up faithfully, making comments on other blogs daily, utilizing Pinterest, Google+, and Facebook more often....

And it paid off!

I have been approached to write a few affiliate posts.

I have been asked to write guest posts and even provide articles for larger homeschooling brands.

Each of these accomplishments have been met with equal parts elation and terror; I'm elated that so many people are reading and enjoying my blog but change often terrifies me and I'm always so afraid I'm going to mess up an affiliate post or write an article that just bombs in the eyes of the other editors and publishers.

I want my blog to grow.   I do so enjoy writing it and sharing my ideas but I'm also conscious of staying true to what I want my blog to be about and making sure I don't take on more than I can actually handle.  So while I still am not sure my blog is right where I want it to be yet I am happy with how much it has grown and changed this year.

It seemed like every time I thought about packing it in and quitting another opportunity came my way and kept me motivated to keep going.  I am so glad I have too!  I have met such wonderful people along the way.

Christmas Crafts for Middle School Students

-
Image
We typically spend the month of December baking lots of holiday treats, trying out some new craft projects (and hopefully turning a few into gifts), watching lots of Christmas movies and reading books about the holiday.

 It's a fun time but as my boys have gotten older it's been a bit harder to find craft projects that are at just the right skill level; not so easy and babyish they shy away from them but not so adult and hard that they struggle.  So I've been looking and trying to find crafts that would meet with the approval of my middle schooler (as well as my younger kids).  Here's a list of crafts we've compiled:


1.  Tin Can Luminaries--These cans from My Happy Crafts are just what I was picturing when I thought of doing this project with the boys.  Festive, easy and fun and they're sure to love any project that requires a hammer!



2.  Decorating Gingerbread Houses-- We decorate a house (or more) each year and it's our annual tradition.  We typically bu…

November Pinterest Challenge-- Zero Point WW Taco Soup

-
Image
It's the third Tuesday of the month and time for another Pinterest Challenge!  I love a nice hot soup on a cold day and when I saw this pin for Taco Soup on Pinterest (that was also Weight Watchers friendly!) I just knew I had to give it a try.  All three of my boys actually eat tacos so I thought they might be open to trying the soup as well.



I changed the recipe a bit to fit our tastes and what I had in our pantry.

Ingredients:

1 lb. lean ground turkey
2 tablespoons taco seasoning mix (I make my own but one store bought packet would work)
2 cups reduced fat beef broth
2 cups water
14.5 ounce can diced tomatoes with the juice
14.5 ounce can black beans, drained and rinsed
1/2 package frozen corn kernels

I browned the turkey in a skillet and then added all the ingredients to the crock pot and set it on low for the day.  Within just an hour, you could already smell the taco seasoning.


Since the soup was zero points we could have made corn bread or any sort of homemade bread to serv…

99 Unschooling ideas and projects

-

We've been leaning more and more towards unschooling.  I love the idea of letting the children lead.

I have been thinking of all the ways my children learn naturally through life and play.  I was getting excited and didn't want to forget any of them so I thought if I was going to be writing it down I might was well jot the list down on the blog and that way you can all share in my ideas.

Suggestions are always appreciated!


I have my ideas organized by subject since that makes it easier for me (even though many of these subjects/ project/ game ideas would touch upon more than one subject).  I don't plan to make them cover all the subjects all the time but I want to encourage them to bring as many subjects into their everyday lives as they can.

I thought we'd start with this questionnaire called When I Learn... that asks kids to think about how they learn best.  Not all questions will pertain to us since we're homeschoolers and unschooling at that but I figured it w…

Prancer Themed Day of Learning

-

Watching Prancer today I made sure all our work was themed around reindeer.

We're having so much fun with our movie themed days!



We stared by playing a fun math game.  I sat with Evan to help  him read the cards but it was easily a game they could all play.  I'm not all that sure it really taught actual math skills but the game definitely worked on following directions, a bit of logic and lots of fun.  They begged me to play multiple times in a row.

I finally put the game away after three rounds, but looking back on it I should have let them play until they were sick of it.  Once again my agenda seemed to get in the way of my goal-- learning through fun, meaningful, memorable experiences.

If you'd like to play Rudolph's Crazy Cookie Exchange, just click on the link.


We then sat down together to read a few books but since I had the hiccups Ian offered to read one of the books to us.  Both Alec and Ian took turns reading Bear's First Christmas.  We also read Where…

45 Hands on Projects & Ideas for High School Students

-
Image
I am always looking for ways to engage my boys in learning.  My oldest son doesn't really like to read so I have been looking for way to incorporate hands- on projects that might interest him instead of just reading books about various subjects.

Here are some of the ideas (broken into core subjects) that I've come up with so far for some hands on learning that I think would be great for him.  We've even tried a few of them with pretty great results!




Science:

1. Make a model of the solar system or the layers of the earth.



2. Put together an electronic kit

3. Extract a strand of DNA from a strawberry or an onion

4. Dissect a fish, frog, worm, clam, cat, etc.

5. Build a vegetable garden or plant a few vegetables to take care of in pots

6. Build a model plant or animal cell using household items or food



7. Put together microscope slides and draw what you see

8. Grab a camera and go on a photographic nature or architecture hunt

9. Use gumdrops or marshmallows and toothpicks to…
