Quiet Time Activities + Read Alouds: The Benefits

Quiet Time Activities + Read Alouds: The Benefits - LiveLoveLearnGracefully

I don't know about you but I love read aloud to my kiddos. I've read to them since before they were born and we haven't slowed down yet. (Check out our February and March read aloud lists.) However as many of you know, kids don't love to sit still for long or ever. So, over the past few years I've found ways to keep them quietly engaged nearby while I read and it works. Quiet time activities and reading aloud can be done simultaneously!  Now that Miss B is in Kindergarten, our read aloud time … [Read more...]

Morning Basket Books for February - LiveLoveLearnGracefully

We started a Morning Basket at the beginning of this school year and have been pretty consistent with it all year.

How To Use An Author Study In Your Homeschool

How to use an Author Study in your homeschool - LiveLoveLearnGracefully

Until just this week, doing an author study in our homeschool/preschool never even occurred to me. Once it did, I have not been able to stop thinking about it, brainstorming ideas, plotting our next one and what we will do differently. Often the authors behind all the fabulous books we read get left out or forgotten. Very often in fact! It's always fun to learn about the people hidden behind the brilliant storylines we all love.
