Littles Learning Link Up: October 15, 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 learned about the New York colony, and how it was originally New Amsterdam. We also learned about the tobacco crop in the new world and how it brought slavery here. Then we learned about Queen Nzinga of the Angola. 

In science we are continuing our reading about different animals in God's creation. We have been learning about specific vertebrates. We learned some details about birds, such as their flight and digestion. We were supposed to make Birds Nest treats and dissect owl pellets, but we didn't get to it, so we will do that this week (which is technically our week off). 

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. Additionally, Hannah and Harold have been learning Spanish with Excelerate Spanish.

We are looking forward to co-op starting tomorrow. I'm going to do a unit on fall/autumn, starting with a look at all the seasons. 

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

Three weeks ago I shared my review for the HiGASFY Art History Video Series.

This week you will find reviews of the two newest books in the Secret of the Hidden Scrolls series from WorthyKids Books, plus Fun Family Chess and Wooden Building Planks from Brain Blox. Later in the month you will find reviews for Smartick math subscription, the Drawing Program from Creating a Masterpiece, Excelerate Spanish, plus a multiplication practice book from Channie's Visual Handwriting & Math Workbooks.
And then in November you will find reviews for new books from Kregel Publications, plus books from Mattie Richardson,  Elephant Learning Math Academy, and LitWits Kits.

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

Focusing on Fire Safety Round Up

Fall Leaves All Around Round Up

Pumpkin Fun 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:

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.
