I’ll try to keep this short and sweet so you can have a chance to check out these great sites and products! I started a list of sites and resources for March as we came to them.
These are some of our favorite resources from this past month:

We made it through January! I sometimes find it helpful for me to see what posts and resources we have used over the past little bit and to see what other people have been looking for as well. Here is a quick round-up of just those things from our blog this past month.
I love that WordPress offers some writing prompts for those days when you just can’t think of where to start. Today’s prompt was one that I can actually think of a million ways to answer but the truth is that you can probably reduce clutter all around you.
We love this quote as we recently read it in our Laying Down the Rails handbook:

We have been incorporating more of a Charlotte Mason-style approach to our homeschool this year. One of the things that we have added is poetry and I just wanted to share the book that we’ve been using as it has been really great for us!
The book is called Vintage Poetry for Modern Kids: 52 Classic Works and Hands-On Projects to Delight Students Throughout the Year and you can find it on Amazon. You may be able to find a used copy for a better price or you may find it at another bookstore for an even better deal!
I just wanted to pop in and tell you all about this wonderful site that I’ve recently found… I don’t know how I haven’t discovered them before… maybe I have and just forgot? Who knows anymore?
I do know that they can make homeschooling much easier and it’s completely free… all you need is internet access so you can get to the lessons. Navigation on the site is fairly simple and they have everything listed for grades K-5.
I’ve been leaning more towards the Charlotte Mason style teaching as you can read about HERE so this has been quite a blessing to help me supplement a few areas that I had trouble deciding on what to do. I also love that they use our beloved McGuffey Readers and Ray’s Arithmetic books. The site is child-friendly and ad-free as well so I haven’t had any concerns about what the kids might accidentally see on the pages.
