The best allegory since Animal Farm 👑 I’m putting together a list of books to read that facilitate learning about literature topics like personification, metaphor, etc. Any recommendations? 📚 But really, we loved this book #modernhomeschool #thisisourhomeschool #homeschool365 #homeschoollanguagearts #kidlit #literature #bookstagram #kidsbooks
Ah friends! I’ve been so busy working on my sweet sister-in-law’s website I’ve scarcely had time for anything else! (Even homeschool 😬) #wahm #wahmlife #workathomemom #impostersyndrome #bananagrams
This morning we talked about gerrymandering and the U.S. House of Representatives districts. Here he is giving me an imaginary state and dividing it up in different ways—some fair, some not. #electioneducation #homeschoolsocialstudies #hereisourhomeschool #currentevents #modernhomeschool

Another great intro to geography lesson: Where do you live? It’s actually something I’ve seen kids get so confused about—all the way up to 5th graders! They get mixed up among continent, country, state, county, city. So constantly reinforcing these abstract concepts is key. I find it helps to describe them all as correct, but some are just more specific. I’ll have more #ontheblog including a printable, probably tonight or tomorrow! #hsbloggers #homeschool365 #thisisourhomeschool #homeschooling #socialstudies #homeschoolteacher #homeschooldays #teachersofinstagram #homeschoolersofinstagram #electioneducation
A simple way to get started talking about geography: make it personal and expand from there. We used the small USA maps to color in places where we lived, states where we were born, states we visited/want to visit. It’s a great way to get the conversation started. #homeschool365 #hsbloggers #thisisourhomeschool #homeschooling #electioneducation #homeschoolmom #socialstudies #homeschoolteacher
A brief overview of the federal government led Z(7) to draw this on our white board. At this time, the focus is on him understanding what each branch is generally responsible for and being familiar with who the people are in these positions. (He actually drew more after this but it got erased before I could snap it!) 🌳 We’ve been gearing up for the midterm elections and I’ll be sharing some #electioneducation activities until then.

To my brave boy who cried and cried the first (few) times he went to the ocean. Who’s still a (little) scared of the power of the crashing waves. Who overcomes his anxiety in so many ways each day. I don’t think I could love you more or be prouder. But I know you’ll surprise me tomorrow. 💕 #homeschoollife #365homeschool #boymom #anxiety #ocean #brave #homeschoolblogger

A little invertebrate identification. 🐚 We decided to take a weekend trip to the beach. I’ll have much more #ontheblog later this week. For now, do you know what these are? #hereisourhomeschool #homeschoolfieldtrip #marinebiology #365homeschool
Read this gorgeous book today and it sparked great conversation about immigration/migration, culture shock, and what a blessing public libraries are! We also got into some analysis of symbolism 🦋 I’m trying to put together a list of excellent children’s books that can really lead in depth discussions like this. Do you have any favorites? #homeschool #homeschoollife #thisisourhomeschool #readalouds #teachersofinstagram #bookstagram #homeschoolcurriculum #weneeddiversebooks #representationmatters #kidslit
