Littles Learning Link Up: September 24, 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.

In our history we moved on to read about King James and Jamestown. We have been watching various Pocahontas movies and informative documentaries. The NOVA show Pocahontas Revealed was quite informative. Even little Harold was talking about different parts of it the day after we watched it. We also learned a bit about the French explorer, Champlain. The children continue to work on their summaries after listening to our story each day.

We still haven't made our World Cake. We actually made gluten free brownies and were going to frost them, but the brownies were just calling to us, so they got eaten first. We saw an idea of using rice krispies treats, so we might be doing it that way! Stay tuned.

In addition to learning about early American history, we have also gone back and are looking a bit at the Renaissance again with the Art History from HiGasfy. We have specifically been learning about Leonardo da Vinci. I'll be sharing my review tomorrow.

In addition, Tabitha has been working on art with Creating a Masterpiece.

In science we are continuing our reading about different animals in God's creation. We have been learning about specific vertebrates. Right now we are learning about mammals.

Last week I shared about our trip to the Corning Museum of Glass in my Wordless Wednesday. This week I will share our time at the Rockwell Museum. You can save money if you buy a combo ticket to see both places. 

And of course the children are still working on their review materials. Harold and Hannah have been using Elephant Learning for their math, while Amelia has been using Smartick.

And Harold and Hannah have continued our idea of working on spelling words with magnetic letters. I started toward the end of last school year to try some hands-on work to help as Hannah has been struggling with spelling. Here are some pictures of Harold spelling his words.

And we also got some Kids and a Mom in the Kitchen Time in. The younger two helped me make chocolate pudding using our new Quick Cooker I got as a part of my consultant kit when I joined Pampered Chef.

A bit lumpy, but it tasty really good.

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

Last week I shared my review of Online Times Alive from City Creek Press, Inc (which Amelia and Hannah have been using). And this week I will share my review for the HiGASFY Art History Video Series.

And then in October I will be bringing you reviews for Elephant Learning Math Academy, the two newest books in the Secret of the Hidden Scrolls series from WorthyKids Books, Fun Family Chess and Wooden Building Planks from Brain Blox, Smartick math subscription, the Drawing Program from Creating a Masterpiece, Excelerate Spanish, plus a multiplication practice book from Channie's Visual Handwriting & Math Workbooks.

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

Fall Leaves All Around Round Up

I'm not sure when I am going to get to that ocean themed round up. Sorry about that. I've been awfully busy with my new venture, being a Pampered Chef consultant.

Now onto:
