Littles Learning Link Up: July 23, 2019

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 elementary-age children and the preschoolers I work with at our homeschool co-op (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.

Here's a peek at what we have been up to in our homeschool. 

We've been back to school for our summer session for the past two weeks, though we definitely haven't been getting as much work done as I would have liked. We have been focusing on our review products more than getting our My Father's World Rome to the Reformation year complete. Well, that is everyone except Tabitha. Tabitha has started working more independently, sometimes waking up at 6am to get her work started. She even talked about getting a week's worth of reading done in a day so she could get finished, and I promptly told her no. That would be too much, and she wouldn't be retaining the material. 

So, even though we haven't been moving forward in our history readings, we have been reviewing. We received the Time Line figures from Home School in the Woods to review. Before we put them on a timeline, I thought it would be fun to play memory matching games. Not only are we reviewing people, places, and events we learned about, but we are also learning new information. I thought it would be a great opportunity to be able to link what was happening in different parts of the world throughout the time we learned about all year. Plus I love that we can place where Bible events and people fit into history. 

The children are continuing to work through literature study guides from Memoria Press. Hannah and I are working on Mr. Popper's Penguins. Harold and I are reading A Bear Called Paddington. Amelia has been working on Charlotte's Web. And Tabitha has been working on Farmer Boy. We are learning new vocabulary, working through comprehension questions, and doing enrichment exercises.

Let's take a look at that review schedule real quick:
Last week I shared reviews for the Music & Creativity Foundation Course from Simply Music plus the USA Activity Bundle Pack from Crafty Classroom.

In August you will find reviews for Memoria Press, Home School in the Woods, Library & Educational Services, and the study guide for Britfield & the Lost Crown (I just posted my review of the book yesterday).

In September I will be sharing my review of Easy Grammar Plus from Easy Grammar Systems.

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

First of all, I don't want you to miss your opportunity to enter to win a signed copy of Britfield & the Lost Crown by C.R. Stewart.
