I am loving my Pocket Size Journals from The Thinking Tree. This is the way I would have loved to been homeschooled. I tell the kiddos that when I'm all done homeschooling them~ I'm going to go back-to-school Thinking Tree style, hehe. I actually do use them. Right now I'm loving the these two! I can easily fit them in my purse and when waiting in line or sitting at the coffee shop I can work on a coloring page or writing.  For the Music Time box I put in some lyrics to a song I was listening to and the title went int the audio book box. Sometimes I listen to an audio book but usually it's music. With your kids you can use that for podcast too. I know my older kiddos listen to a lot of podcast on real-estate and investing. I didn't actually watch a tutorial. I did watch a video of my son who is away at ALERT International, so I wrote about that. Science was funny. On our way to Annette's soccer game Lance had to use a barf bag. Later after the soccer game on the...

This next book I'm about to share from The Thinking Tree is very near and dear to my heart because it's one that I will use with Lance. It's a pocket sized coloring and activity book, for all ages, with black and white pictures. This post may contain affiliate links. Please see my DISCLOSURE . Did you know Sarah the author and creator of Dyslexia Games and The Thinking Tree publications is dyslexic and has Asperger's Syndrome ? Yup, this amazingly talented woman has Asperger's. When Sarah was around 14 years old she modeled for a popular teen magazine. It was during this time that she had to study faces and became obsessed with peoples eyes. While training to be a model Sarah had to learn how to walk into a room, make eye contact, and act. At first this was very hard but through time it became easier. Sarah noticed that she was becoming comfortable with looking at peoples faces but even more amazing was she began to understand what sympathy felt like. When a child (...

This is Caleb two years ago. I believe it was taken in 2014.  Below is Caleb sitting in the same spot just a different angle. My baby has grown.  For the past two years he actually did most of his school in his bedroom but Lupe wants the kiddos to sit at the table or a desk because our kiddos would get to comfortable and fall asleep when they were suppose to be doing school.

Lance working hard writing.  This is our Thinking Tree homeschool day. Lance writing a creative story using Comic Book Math , he uses the Littlest Math Book for small writing therapy, Fun-School Spelling for the days when he doesn't have a Spelling Time page in his Autumn Journal .  The substitute teacher~ because sometimes I just need help with this little guy =)

The Blizzard of 1944 - The Night God Reached Down From Heaven  Dyslexie Readers Level C This Post may contain affiliate links. Please see my DISCLOSURE . The Thinking Tree - True Stories to Light the Way The Thinking Tree's first reader!!!! If using Dyslexia Games   it is suggested to use after completing Series C or if your child is reading at a 4th grade level then your child is ready for this book. This happened in Wichita Falls Texas during the worst blizzard on record!  I absolutely love that it is in the Dyslexie Font. What a dream come true. A reader made especially for the dyslexic child  The illustrations are beautiful!  I love the story. The main character Dorothy shows her love for her family, respect for her parents, and determination. Something a lot of young ones are missing these days. I see a lot of kids complaining about taking care of younger siblings these days. Saying it's not fair. Dorothy is a good example of not complaining about it and g...

  This is one of the newest Thinking Tree ! Danger, Mystery, & Adventure ~50 Creative Writing Prompts for boys ages 10-17 years! This post may contain affiliate links. Please read my DISCLOSURE . I'm excited to use this with my four younger boys ages 12-16 years. They will use this once a week. I'm not sure what day yet. Possibly Monday or Friday. Monday because sometimes Mondays need to start more fun.  Friday's would be great because it's the end of the week and things are winding down.  This book of creative writing prompts can supplement any curriculum and easy to take for those of you on the go ~it's 7x7. Sometimes your child will need to do a little research and dig a little deeper to write their creative and adventurous story~ thus covering a little bit of geography and social studies at times There is also one for girls. Click on the image below to read my review. I'll have a video review coming soon so you can see all the beautiful pictures.
