Classical Homeschooling Carnival #22

Welcome to the 22nd edition of Classical Homeschooling Carnival! I haven't been doing the carnival as often lately, but here is another one, and in spite of my inconsistency, there are some great posts submitted!

Misty presents My 5-year-old wrote his first computer program with Scratch posted at Homeschool Bytes, saying, "If you've got kids interested (obsessed:-) with video games, give them a chance to write their own beginning level programs with Scratch."

Ann presents Grandma Moses - Artist Appreciation posted at Harvest Moon by Hand. She shares the method they use to do their art appreciation, which looks outstanding.

Pamela says, Thanks for the Well Intentioned Dream Squelching posted at Blah, Blah, Blog, saying, "While I wrote this post a while ago, and some people may argue that following up on goals and dreams isn't a focus of homeschooling, I believe that it's one of the most important lessons we can give our children. Life is full of people who will tell your kids what they CAN'T do, but with the ability to design their curriculum, we also have the ability to help them find ways to accomplish extraordinary things."

Jodi presents Meaningful Mama: Day #27 - Reading Hop posted at Meaningful Mama, where she has some great pictures of her awesome ideas for incorporating physical movement into her phonics instruction.

Tiger's Mum presents How many ways to classify? posted at The Tiger Chronicle. She shows some fun activities they did in talking about groups of animals.

Here at Baby Steps, we were fortunate to have a trip to see a bee hive; Hero got to wear the bee gear on get right up close and personal!

Classical Carnival: Call for Articles

It's been a while. Actually, quite a while. The carnival system was having issues, I got behind and overwhelmed, and the Carnival didn't happen. But I think I'm ready to try again with it, and I'm hoping that there's still interest. So click on over and share a post or two with us about your classical homeschooling efforts. Talk to us about what makes classical right for you. And, if you'd like to host a future edition on your blog, leave me a note in the comments and we'll talk.
 

Classical Homeschooling Carnival #21

 Hello! Welcome back to the Classical Homeschooling Carnival - it's been a while! Our holidays were so busy, and thus far nobody else has shown interest in hosting the carnival, so we took a bit of a break, but I'm excited to share the posts that have collected while I was busy doing other things!

We can jump right in with a post about Tiger & his Mum's adventures in Medieval Stained Glass, posted at The Tiger Chronicle. They had a great field trip to a stained glass museum, then made a stained glass craft at home, which turned out great!

Tiger at the museum.

Amy shared a list of math books at Delightful Children's Books. "The theme here is fun math books. Thus, if a book says something like “this is a division sign,” you will not find the book on this list." Sounds like my kind of math books! Additionally, she has a list of books about fish. Wish we'd seen that list when we visited the aquarium!


The Mama, of Concordia Classical Academy, shares her insights into teaching reading as she starts teaching her second child to read, in Reading Progression Explained. I particularly love her pre-reading ideas:

---

I also spend time on oral blending games and rhyming. For example, "C AAAAA T says what?" When they can hear the separate sounds and blend them together, we're ready to move on. I also think that rhyming is very important. Lots of silly songs and nursery rhymes help develop the ear for this. We work on this from the time they talk well until it clicks- about toddlerhood- 3/4.

---

It's been so long since the Carnival published that Pamela, over at Blah, Blah, Blog, has three posts to share with us this time around, and it looks like they've been having a good time. The first is their family's adventures in trying yoga, in her post Relaxing Family Yoga... Well... Not Really. Turns out you can get find yoga clips on YouTube, and she shares her favorite channel. Next, she shares some of her experiences teaching Awesome Art History - to teenage boys. And the boys like it! Finally, Pamela shares a recent experience with Unsolicited Advice.

Pamela's Awesome Art History

Karyn, of Teach Beside Me, has an avid reader on her hands, and shares a list of books he's read and enjoyed in Books for Young Readers.

Here at Baby Steps, I'm also sharing two posts this time around. The first is this one, dealing with our continuing adventure in math: Monkey built a Stable out of his cuisenaire rods. The  second is a Day in the Life post I did a little bit ago.








And that's it! Hopefully you found something to inspire you - and we'll see you back next month! Submit your blog article to the next edition of the Classical Homeschooling Carnival using our carnival submission form. Past posts and future hosts can be found on our blog carnival index page.

Classical Homeschooling Carnival #20

Hello! Welcome to another Classical Homeschooling Carnival! I'm so glad you could come! Here are our entries for this Halloween edition:

AnnieKate, of Tea Time with Annie Kate, shares some of their Favorite Living History Authors. She mentions Laura Ingalls Wilder, a favorite of ours, and then goes on to list a whole slew of folks I'm going to have to check out. Looks like there's some good reading out there!

Kristen enjoys a little mathematical irony in her post, Ecstasy in Math, at  Teaching Stars.

Here at Baby Steps, I wrote Beautiful Math about some awesome things to do in math that I'd never really considered might actually be math before.

Melanie shares her efforts to get their third foreign language - Chinese - up and running in their school, with tips on what did and did not work for them in Learning Chinese Mandarin as a Second or Third Language over at Mel's Mouthful on Mothering.


That's it for this time - but don't forget to come back next month and enter your own post in our carnival, as well as read what others have shared with us. You can browse the previous editions of the carnival either by using the index, or by looking around here on Baby Steps. I hope you enjoyed the carnival, and thank you to our contributors!

Classical Homeschooling Carnival #19

Welcome to the latest edition of the Classical Homeschooling Carnival! We have a number of fun and inspiring posts this time around. Check them out:

LITERATURE

Delightful Children's Books has a rather extensive collection of books this time, in the wrap-up of her globally themed event, Read Around the World. Looks like they had a great time!


Nadene and her kids are having a blast Playing with Poetry - ideograms, to be precise - at Practical Pages.

MATH and SCIENCE

Jay3fer reminds us not to put away the toys too soon in Cuisenaire Rods for Big(ger) Kids. She walks us through their use of the rods to figure out the area of a book cover, over at Adventures in Mama-Land.

Here on Baby Steps, I've been pondering what math really is, and concluding that It's Not What I Thought.

Mary tells about her adventures with Phony Poop in her son's digestive system lesson. I'm pretty sure that's one he'll remember for a loooong old time! She's blogging at Winecup Christian Academy.

HISTORY

At Blah, Blah, Blog, Pamela shares her memories of the morning of September 11th.


That's it! Thanks for stopping by! Past posts and future hosts for the Classical Homeschooling Carnival can be found on our index page. If you've got a post that would inspire the Classical Education community, please stop by our submission page and share it with us!

Classical Homeschooling Carnival #18

Here it is again - another Classical HS Carnival! We've got quite a few entries this time, so settle in and enjoy!

A lot of families mark the start of their school calendar at this time of year. Cellista, of La Scuola d'Argento shares an intimate glimpse of a day in the life with her post, The First Day of School.

Paula ran unto a new idea late in her planning, and is reworking her schedule in Planning 201: Retreat and Regroup at Wakefield Academy.

Other folks are steaming along, full speed ahead. Nadene, of Practical Pages, shares how read-alouds have become the glue that holds their homeschool together through good days, bad days, and everything between, in Read-Alouds: the Homeschooling Glue.

Paige shares her new writing program with A Week with Classical Writing Aesop: Day 1. It's the first of a 5 part series on Elemental Blogging.

At Delightful Children's Books, Amy has made a great list of 11 Children's Books About Stars and Space.

If your student is a further along in their educational journey, try Regina's Ninth Grade Biology Notes at Green Apple's Blush.

Here on Baby Steps we have finally begun our study of Ancient History, and we kicked it off by building a Shaduf.

Last, but certainly not least, MissMOE has a lovely review, History Portfolio Review, posted at Homeschooling While Living the Life of Easier. She has many pictures, both before and after the pages were used, giving a nice feel for the portfolios.


That concludes this edition; I hope you enjoyed it! Submit your blog article to the next edition of Classical Homeschooling Carnival using our carnival submission form. Past posts and future hosts can be found on our blog carnival index page.

Classical Homeschooling Carnival #17

My life got crazy, the deadline passed, and the submissions for May's carnival sat so long that I thought for a minute the carnival people had deleted them. But they're still there, so May's carnival has become July's carnival. To those who submitted, I'm very sorry. My life has been a zoo.

But we're recovering nicely now; the carpet was reinstalled in the upstairs and the basement this morning. They'll be back to put the baseboards back tomorrow, and then we'll move the mattresses OUT of the living room and back into the bedrooms where they belong! I can hardly wait. In the mean time (What does that mean, anyway? "Mean time. Average time? Cruel time?), these submissions aren't any less wonderful for being slightly dated. Enjoy!


Over at Teachable Moments, Jessica was winding up their school year and enjoying the flexibility that homeschooling allows when she wrote and submitted Doing It Our Way..., which is much more than just a wind-up post, and still very relevant, including such gems as this:

---

“We tried.  We grew.  We learned.” ~ me.

---

The Mama, at Concordia Classical Academy, talks a little about How to Teach Reading. I sure wish I'd thought of doing blending orally before doing it with written letters! She's got some great ideas.

Karyn, of Teach Beside Me, is creating a lovely resource for using The Burgess Animal Book for Children in science. She's shared Chapter 1 with the carnival.

Head on over to Sparks of Learning to read Alicia's glowing review of Primary Mathematics (aka: Singapore).

For my own contribution, we did an owl pellet dissection, which Monkey loved. I did too: I'd never done one before. Learning with the kids has got to be one of the best parts of homeschooling. 

And when you're done with all that, take a second trip through those blogs for the great posts they've put up more recently. I think every single one of them had something that made me stop and read a bit as I was getting all my links. Don't forget to submit your post to the next edition of the carnival; we'd love to have you!

Classical Homeschooling Carnival #16

How exciting! This is easily the largest edition of the Classical Homeschooling Carnival yet, and I think you're going to love what people have to share with us this time! For the first time ever, there are enough posts to break it up into categories. Have a look:

I've seen a lot of thought going into planning next year as I've wandered around the homeschool blogs and message boards recently. Here are some of our contributor's thoughts on the matter:


Miss MOE, over at Homeschooling While Living the Life of Easier, gives us some words of wisdom on planning your own curriculum. She uses her history curriculum as an example, and includes specific resources she's using for her family.

Lisa, of Golden Grasses, shares some thoughts on Planning and Pedagogy - that is, "the art and science of teaching."

And Jamie, of See Jamie Blog, shares her reflections on last year, including a few Homeschool Goals NOT Accomplished. She points out that sometimes it's useful to look at why things didn't happen, and go forward from there.

Classical homeschooling means careful attention to core academics, and Amy is taking care of that, reading about Ancient Greece with her children at Hope is in the Word. She mentions that she didn't really study world history much in school, in spite of AP classes, and tells how much she enjoys doing it with her children now.

I know how she feels; I didn't ever study world history either. As a result, I'm very much enjoying learning about ancient history myself, and shared what I learned about Queen Puabi of Ur here on Baby Steps.

Pamela is taking her history lessons on the road at Blah, Blah, Blog, where they recently visited the Casa Grande Ruins in Arizona. Those ruins look fascinating!

Kristiana, author of La Scoula d' Argento, shares their family's memory work system and progress in Memory Work Monday. She uses a clever variant of the Simply Charlotte Mason scripture memory system that we've used and loved in our home for years.

Glory, blogging over at Self Reliance Works, shares the easiest, cheapest, most effective way to teach spelling. Her system uses materials most of us have on hand.

At Satori Smiles, Angela share their geography studies, where her daughter enjoys Mapping Freehand. I'm so impressed that someone so small can draw the map so well!

A Classical education also values the arts and other fun things, and our submissions for this carnival reflect that. For instance, Nadene shares her daughter's sweet Maybe List of Things to Do With Mom at Practical Pages.

Pamela, with a second post on Blah, Blah, Blog, shares her new games they've been playing in SET with New Games.

And, finally, Amy shares a selection of books about ballet in 10 Children's Books About Dance on Delightful Children's Books.


That's it - but it's a lovely collection of posts. I hope you enjoyed them as much as I did, and that you'll be back for future editions of the Classical Homeschooling Carnival! Submit your blog article to the next edition of classical homeschooling carnival using our carnival submission form. Past posts and future hosts can be found on our blog carnival index page.

Classical Homeschooling Carnival #15

Hurray for another Classical Homeschooling Carnival! I've got a baaad case of spring fever, and we're still buried in snow, so I'm showcasing some of the beautiful flowers that we will (eventually) get to enjoy. (Sorry the carnival is slow again: we were sick for about 2 weeks, starting right when I was supposed to post!)




Miss Nirvana presents The Very Hungry Little Caterpillar posted at Nirvana Homeschooling, highlighting their reading activity using the Very Hungry Caterpillar.

Angela presents Homeschool Week in Review: Monday, January 10th - Friday, January 15th posted at My Classical Homeschool. She shares a number of fun ideas, including some adorable origami people her son made after reading The Boxcar Children.

Christine presents Visual Latin Review posted at Our Homeschool Reviews.



Ritsumei presents More on Planning posted at Baby Steps.

Nadene presents Gauguin?s Loulou posted at PracticalPages, offering art appreciation lesson, resources and ideas and how we copied a Gauguin artwork using a grid for our enjoyment.

That concludes this edition; thanks to those who contributed! Submit your blog article to the next edition of the Classical Homeschooling Carnival using our carnival submission form. Past posts and future hosts can be found on our blog carnival index page.

Classical Homeschooling Carnival #14

Well, it's been one heck of a month, and as a result the carnival is about two weeks later than planned. Sorry about that! We started the month with a puppy that I admitted I couldn't handle after about two weeks, right about the time that my husband and I compared notes and realized that she wasn't really distinguishing between the baby and a chew toy. Yeah. Not at my house. Then we all got sick. Including the baby's "beginnings of pneumonia." Then we played catch-up. Thus the carnival is slow. I will try to do better in February! So. Here's what we've got for this edition:

Pamela presents Just Like Ma Ingalls posted at Blah, Blah, Blog.

The California Homeschooler presents The Culture Notebook posted at The California Homeschooler.

And that's it! Short and sweet! Thanks to those who submitted! Submit your blog article to the next edition of the Classical Homeschooling Carnivalusing our carnival submission form. Past posts and future hosts can be found on our blog carnival index page.

Classical Homeschooling Carnival #11

Well, I'd planned to have the new edition of the carnival posted 10 days ago, but computer problems kept mostly offline for a week, and then it's been playing catch-up since then. Better late than never, right? Here's what we have this time around:

Pamela, of Blah Blah Blog shares their recent trip to Burney Falls State Park in California. She has some beautiful pictures of the falls posted. What a lovely place for nature study!

Tatiana, of World Star Academy, shares a collection of audiobook resources.

Here on Baby Steps, I'm sharing some thoughts on Habit vs. Nature, and the role of religion in education.

Classical Homeschooling Carnival #10

Wow! What an awesome response there's been this month: seven posts, where the previous record was, I believe, four. Well, seven submissions that actually pertain to homeschooling. I've had as many as 50+ articles submitted, but only keep the ones that are actually relevant.

Before I get on with the show, I wanted to invite people to let me know if you're interested in hosting the carnival. I'm nearing the end of my pregnancy, and although the Carnival doesn't take tons of time to set up, I'm not getting much computer time right now, due to threatened pre-term labor that has me taking naps nearly every day, rather than blogging while my son sleeps. I suspect that the newborn period will also be a challenging time, and that my blogging may continue to suffer! So if you'd like to host in August or September, drop me a line.



Pamela presents Books, Books, Books posted at Blah, Blah, Blog. Check out that home library while you ponder her thoughts on books and reading.

Elizabeth shares Learning Letters a resource she created for her son and generously shares with us, posted at Learn Live Laugh, saying, "A great resource for moms of children ages 0-5 who want to make every day full of fun, exciting, educational activities for their children."

Tracy's been working overtime and presents Math Learning Field Trip Ideas for Homeschoolers and Homeschool co-opsposted at Math Learning, Fun & Education Blog : Dreambox Learning.

That Resource Team presents June 1 - Learning Cards for European History posted at That Resource Site.

Ritsumei shares a bit of planning and reworking of schedules in Ready, Set... posted here at Baby Steps.

Irene gives encouragement for those feeling wounded by constant criticism in Home Schooling and Socialization posted at Irene Reardon.

Classical Homeschooling Carnival #9

Welcome to the Spring's First Flowers edition of Classical Homeschooling Carnival. Around here, it's just barely spring, and we found the first flowers - crocuses - of the season just this week. I was so excited to see them; they're such a nice break from all the winter-brown we've got right now, so I'm sharing a few with you in the carnival.



DeputyHeadmistress provides some food for thought in The Common Room: The Power to Act, David Hicks and Norms and Nobility Discussion posted at The Common Room.

Pamela shares her efforts in her garden in My Brownish / Green Thumb posted at Blah, Blah, Blog.

Ritsumei presents Nature Study: Spring here at Baby Steps, in which you can see more pictures of the nature walk where we discovered the crocuses.



That concludes this edition, but not my love of crocuses. After a long winter, they're such a welcome sight! Share what you love about classical homeschooling: submit your blog article to the next edition of Classical Homeschooling Carnival using our carnival submission form.

Classical Homeschool Carnival Guidelines

Welcome to the Classical Homeschooling Carnival! The idea behind this carnival is to bring together resources and encouragement for those who are working to bring their children the benefits of a Classical Education. Families following a Classical philosophy are often familiar with authors Susan Wise Bauer, Charlotte Mason, and the Bluedorns.

Submission Guidelines

Posts suitable for submission might be on topics such as the Grammar, Logic, or Rhetoric stage, books and resources used in your family's classical education, curriculum reviews, a day in your classical homeschool, Latin, Greek, History, Science, Reading, Grammar, and so on, including "day-in-the-life" or "week-in-the-life" sorts of posts. All posts will be considered based on their relevance to the Classical Homeschool. Please play nicely: no profanity, nudity, and so on. Please email with any questions. Unrelated and advertising submissions will be deleted as spam. This carnival receives a LOT of spam (the current edition had 2 "real" submissions out of 14), and while I try to be careful not to exclude actual homeschooling posts, I'm sure that mistakes will happen from time to time, so please email me if your submission isn't showing up. I reserve the right to exclude any post at my sole discretion.



Hosting Guidelines

Bloggers who wish to host the Classical Homeschooling Carnival should email me with the following information:

-your name/screen name
-your Classical Homeschooling blog address

I will then email you and we can work out the details of which edition you would like to host.

Bloggers wishing to host this carnival are encouraged to demonstrate your willingness to take a leading role in the carnival by submitting articles and visiting and commenting on articles other participants submit.

Thank you for visiting!
