Little House Cookbook CopyWork

Sissy has been on a Cooking kick lately, ever since she discovered that she could make cakes and cookies in the middle of the day and get to taste one “Just to make sure” we made them right. And, of course, I’m all for a Midday cookie snack, so we’ve been in the [...]

Get Set: Homeschool Schedule & Name!

So I’m just starting to pull some stuff together for starting our KG 5, year of homeschooling. We did KG 4 last year and this year will be a mix between KG 5 and 1st Gr., as some area’s we’re excelling at, and others we’re lagging at. (Isn’t that the beauty of homeschooling, [...]

New: VBS, File Folder, Summer Shape Books, Creation Collage

Okay, it’s Summer, and it’s the weekend, so you’ll have to forgive me for lumping together all the site news for this week, I just can’t find the time to get it together, and pull out all the bells and whistles. I’ve been really busy renovating my house (I painted the entire interior last week,…yes, [...]

Altered Art: CD Ornaments

Okay, so I’ve been on an Altered Art kick lately……everything I’ve been looking at, I wonder “Hmmm, what can I turn that into?” So much so that I’ve even started an Altered Art bin that I keep above my washer and dryer. Inside is a collection of things that I find that are interesting [...]

On your mark……

ON YOUR MARK, GET SET…….That’s about where we’re at with our 2008-2009 Homeschool Year….”ON YOUR MARK”….we haven’t really made it to the …”GET SET” part yet…., we’re still back there looking for the mysterious “Mark” we’re supposed to stand on, you know giving self-pep-talks while we look for the starting line, and shaking out [...]

Contest: Knight & Princess Activity Books

In celebration of finishing up our first set of “Mission” lapbooks….our Princess Mission, and Prince Mission Correspondence Lapbooks, I’ve decided to giveaway some fun activity books that you can use alongside them.

Free Cuisenaire Rod Worksheets

So we just picked up our first official Math manipulatives for Sissy, and we opted for the Cuisenaire Rods that are plastic and can be stuck and unstuck together. (I believe their called “Stackable”) The rods are all different sizes depending on their color, and those that are larger then one cm, have lines [...]

Angel Coloring Pages & Angel Crafts

I just put up a whole bunch of Angel Coloring Pages. These are free on our main site www.ChristianPreschoolPrintables.com. There are so many different bible stories involving angels that I thought these coloring pages would make a good addition to various bible lessons and also provide some good “filler” activities for your children. [...]

Summer Homework Packet

Bible Handprint Calendar

I knew when I saw this Handprint Calendar from The Little Girraffes website, that I absolutely had to make one of my own……But of course with a Christian twist! So I started planning out what the different months were going to be…and it turned out to be a bit harder then I expected! [...]

Fourth of July Lapbook

Thank you for the welcome Valerie. I am a little confused on how to best use this network, but I haven't had much of a look around yet. I am responsible for doing a bible study with the children for half an hour, while the adults are having a bible study time before our service starts, then they stay in the service. If you have any ideas on where to start, please throw them my way.
Many Blessings,
Tracy

Hey you! Enjoying the break in weather this week? How are you and the kids? Hope all is well and you had a Blessed Easter. Sorry I haven't been keeping up, I feel like I spend all day chasing the kids and getting nowhere and not a whole lot done, *L* guess that's what being a mommy is all about!
Blessings,
Jasmine

Hello again. I am not finding the upload choice. For example I go to the CPP yahoo group and click on post under messages, I then get a screen with a setup similar to an e-mail, at the bottom of this page all there is are buttons to send preveiw or cancel plus a drop down bar to choose the language. Am I in the wrong place or is it that I am missing something ?

Hello Valerie. I have some games, charts, etc. that I would like to share with the group. However I can see only how to post a message with no attachments to the group. What do I need to do ?
