Littles Learning Link Up: July 31, 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?

We have been busy focusing on the different review products we are reviewing right now, in addition to reading books on Ancient Greece. 

For science Tabitha and Amelia were working on the Dinosaurs and the Bible online study from Northwest Treasures. Harold and Hannah have been using the science lessons from WriteBonnieRose. Hannah was learning about hibernation, and Harold was learning about the water cycle. We are all going to start focusing on plants using the lessons from WriteBonnieRose plus our science textbook and books we have out from the library. 

In addition to reading books on Ancient Greece we have also been building a timeline on Ancient Greece from Home School in the Woods.

And we have been having fun learning about England and Peru with our Paddington Bear Lit Study from Branch Out World. We just added in learning grammar with Grammar Planet. 

The children were also having some artistic fun using clay. It's the kind that will harden when baked in the oven (which is why it is in my baking dish).

And of course, we are still participating in those Summer Reading Programs, though Tabitha will miss out this week as she is at camp for the week. She was quite happy to finally get to go, especially because this is the first year she gets to go to Art Camp.

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

Last week I shared my review for the online courses from Northwest Treasures titled Taking the Mystery Out of Geology and Dinosaurs and the Bible. This week I will be sharing my reviews for science lessons from WriteBonnieRose, and the timeline from Home School in the Woods. In August I will be sharing my review of the Paddington Lit Study from Branch Out World and GrammarPlanet.

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

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

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.
