Homeschool Helper with Charisse Van Horn

Here is a picture of Ariella working on her pumpkin seeds. I love how pumpkins are perfect for both Halloween and Thanksgiving. I edited the picture to put the emphasis on the pumpkin, and we had a lot of fun carving, scooping, and baking pumpkin seeds. Here are some pumpkin coloring sheets that you can print up for your kiddos, but hurry- it’s almost Christmas!

Thanksgiving is right around the corner and with it comes Thanksgiving crafts.  When choosing Thanksgiving crafts for the homeschooled child, it’s important to make sure that each craft has a valuable lesson.  Here is a little project that you can make with younger children.
Using two clear plastic cups, draw a picture of the Mayflower on the outside of one cup. It’s best to use permanent magic marker, as other markers will bead up and come off.  If you’ve ever tried to use washable markers for craft projects you’ve probably realized that you and your children end up wearing more of the markers than the project.

Draw an ocean scene around the base of the second cup.  You can include a sun and birds on the top part of the cup if you like.  Place the first cup inside the second and you can create the illusion that the Mayflower is sailing the ocean shores by spinning the cup inside the other.

This project is a great for story telling and can be used with other images beside the Mayflower.

Algebra is a tricky subject for many kids to master.  There is a website that is giving away a free Algebra book -yes, it’s free- just for visiting their site.  You can download the book in PDF format and save it to your computer, or you can view it online.

The book is divided by chapters, and you have the option of downloading each chapter individually.  If you want to save the entire book it might take a bit of time, as there are ten chapters as well as answers for the worksections, but you can also choose and pick specific chapters to download as well.  I would recommend downloading the entire book though, it is really a great book at an unbelievable bargain- free!

If you are looking for preschool math resources, I am sure these will be very helpful.

Finding free math courses for homeschooling is pretty important.  Math is a troublesome area for many and one where children often need much repetition and practice.  There is an excellent UK site called the Centre for Innovation in Mathematics Teaching that has tons of curriculum, resources, and resources to print.  Don’t be put off by the UK spellings (if you are in the United States); it won’t take long before you realize that there really isn’t that much of a difference.
However, one difference that you will notice is in the way the grades are organized in the UK, but don’t worry, the site explains the grades by ages so you can easily find the right year for your child.

The first book in the Chronicles of America series is “The Red Man’s Continent” by Ellsworth Huntington.  The book was written in 1919 and it chronicles the aboriginal tribes of America (Native Americans).  Since the book was written nearly a century ago, do not be surprised that it is not in “politically correct” terminology.  You can download the version from Project Gutenberg, however it is only in text format.  The Internet Archive has the book in a convenient, PDF format making it easier to download and read.  You can access the PDF format of The Red Man’s Continent here: The Red Man’s Continent .
