Littles Learning Link Up: July 10, 2018

 Each month you will find:

• A seasonal round-up (usually toward the beginning of the month)
• Posts where I share what I have been up to with my early elementary children (including occasional highlight posts where I share how we used ideas that have been linked up here on Littles Learning Link Up).

Each week, I will host a link up, where you can share either what you have been up to recently, or old posts that may go with the theme.  Feel free to link up more than one post.

Each week I will continue to feature a couple of posts from those that have been linked up. 

I hope you will continue to share your wonderful posts, and I hope you will find something new to try with your child(ren).

It would be great for everyone to stop by and visit the other linked-up posts as well. Check them out, leave some comments, pin those that interest you. Let's make this a real party and socialize with each other.

What have we been up to?

Same as last week actually. Nothing much. We have been enjoying our break. Amelia and Hannah spent the week at camp, and Harold went to mini camp, spending one night at the end of the week. Tabitha, Harold, and I got to enjoy Independence Day by lighting some sparklers and watching the fireworks from NYC on tv. And we spent time at the park and at the boat launch trying to cool off. Boy was it ever sweltering here this past week. Then on Thursday Tabitha and I had a mommy/daughter date day. We went to the Y and tried out some new-to-us classes. Then we went to the library's summer reading program where they were completing a community service activity, helping to plant veggies in the new community garden. Then on Friday, after going to the Y for some more new-to-us classes, we had to get ready for the rest of the kiddos to come home. So, of course, Tabitha made a banner.

This week we are starting back up with some school. We are actually at the Creation Museum right now, and will be going to the Ark Encounter tomorrow. If all goes as planned when I scheduled this post. Yes, I will be sharing pictures in next week's Wordless Wednesday. Knowing me, I will probably have enough pictures for the next two Wordless Wednesday posts. One post dedicated to the Creation Museum, and the next dedicated to the Ark Encounter. How's that for a field trip?

The children will also be working on some review products while we are at the hotel. Next week it will be back to school, though a bit more relaxed during our summer session. 

Let's take a look at that review schedule real quick:

A couple of weeks ago I shared my reviews for Grammar and Writing 3 from Hake Publishing, and The Master & His Apprentices which is an art history curriculum for high school, but we are using it as a supplement as it goes well with our core curriculum. 

Later today my review for Math Refresher for Adults from Math Essentials will be posting.Then later this month I will share my reviews of the eGuide for The Josefina Story Quilt from Progeny Press, the online courses from Northwest Treasures titled Taking the Mystery Out of Geology and Dinosaurs and the Bible, science lessons from WriteBonnieRose, and another fun timeline from Home School in the Woods, this time on Ancient Greece.

Here are some things I would like to share with you:

Here are some ideas for keeping your children busy this summer.

Littles Learning Link Up Features

On my last Littles Learning Link Up post, there were 4 wonderful post linked up (at the time when I scheduled this post). There were no clicks, so I will just be sharing a randomly selected post.

Please, don't forget to stop by other posts that are linked up. See what catches your eye, stop by, pin the post to a relevant board, and perhaps leave a comment to let the author of the blog know you have been by for a visit. I know I appreciate others commenting and letting me know they have read my posts, so I am sure others do too.

This week's randomly selected post is:

Paulette's Papers shared Bleach and Dye Design Shirts for Summer Camp!

Join the Party!

I would love to have you join in this week! What sort of activities do you do with your young children? Do you have some favorite activities you would like to share? I invite you to link up below. I will be pinning posts on one of my relevant boards, and I would love to feature some of the activities each week from what is linked up.

Please know I may share a picture from your post and link back to it, along with sharing how we used your idea in our school time. By linking up you are giving me permission to use a picture from your post. I will ALWAYS give credit and link back. Additionally, if you choose to try out any of the ideas with your child, please make sure you give credit where credit is due.

Linky will be open through Monday night, to give me time to check out all the posts and get the Features organized. Please take the time to visit some of the other wonderful posts linked up.

No button currently, and there won't be one until I can figure it out seeing as Photobucket has changed things. Feel free to still share the picture in place of the button. Just link it to my Littles Learning Link Up permalink please.
