We’re back with another set of free printable flashcards! This time, we’re talking about short vowel sounds.

November 12, 2015 by Selena Robinson 9 Comments

We’ve been sharing loads of free printable flashcards on the blog for the past year. Today I thought I’d round up the flashcards that are best for our tiniest learners – toddlers!

Piglet started tot school this fall, so she learns right along with our older kids when we have our homeschool lessons. During tot school, we try to focus on the absolute basics: counting, letters, numbers, shapes, colors, and some animals.

So if you’re teaching your toddlers the same concepts, here are 10 free printable flashcards for toddlers that are available right here on the blog!

While I’m recommending these flashcards for toddlers, they can really be used for any age at all. Some preschoolers may need to focus on strengthening number and letter recognition, while some grade schoolers may enjoy using the animal flashcards as part of a unit study. Feel free to use them however you see fit for your kids!

Miles Davis Biography Mini-Unit

February 28, 2014 by Selena Robinson 1 Comment

Good morning y’all! We made it through yet another week! 🙂 It’s the end of the month, so it’s time for another entry in the Living History series! This month we’ve been learning about Miles Davis.

Miles Davis had a comfortable upbringing, but a very troubled life. Ironically, his experiences seemed to help him grow and change as a musician, which is what led to his extremely long jazz career. He also made some terrible choices, eventually managing to rebuild his life with the help of his family and his love for music. He is most certainly not a role model, but his perseverance in the face of serious problems offers a great lesson for kids.

We’ve put together a free Miles Davis Biography Mini-Unit that you’re welcome to use with your family! In this pack, you’ll find:

  • A kid-friendly biography of Miles Davis
  • Review questions to help kids remember what they learned
  • A Miles Davis crossword puzzle
  • And copywork based on an interview with the jazz great!

Nat King Cole Biography Mini-Unit

Nat King Cole Biography Mini-Unit: Look! We're Learning!

Hey everyone! It’s November and we’re sharing our latest Living History series mini-unit! This month we learned about the life and legacy of Nat King Cole. We put together a biography mini-unit about Nat King Cole’s career, along with a few exercises, and shared it with the kids.

We learned quite a bit about Nat’s life this month. For example, we learned that he learned to play the piano by ear and that he didn’t begin professional piano lessons until his pre-teen years. We were also interested to learn about Nat’s experiences with racism and how he refused to let those events make him angry or bitter.

After we completed the unit, we watched “An Evening with Nat King Cole”. All of us ended up singing his songs the rest of the day.

To use this unit with your family, feel free to download it by clicking the link below! And be sure to stop by next week to see who we’re learning about during the month of December!

Hi everyone! This month’s Living History series figure was Dizzy Gillespie and today we’re sharing a free biography mini-unit about this jazz great!

Naturally, our kids didn’t have a clue who he was, so they got a chance to learn about Dizzy’s early life, career, and accomplishments. (Sidenote: We used to call Pooh Dizzy when he was a baby because of his cheeks. As you can see, he’s still got them!)
