New Homeschool Articles & Resources

Under Pressure?Under Pressure? (God's Response to Stressed-Out Moms)
Life is filled with stresses and pressures and we can't eliminate them all, but some pressure we bring upon ourselves by making wrong choices or neglecting to seek the Lord and trust in His strength and wisdom. Pressures also tend to multiply when we don't deal with them properly. Molehills quickly turn into mountains if we lose our focus and perspective but God wants to give us His perspective and operate in His power!

Homeschool MusicFocus - Homeschool Music

Composers - Music Appreciation Resources
Resources for learning more about the great composers from Bach to Gershwin, Handel to Aaron Copland, we have website listings, lesson plans, and resources to download or purchase that will allow you to learn about their lives and listen to the best recordings of their music.

A Little Jazz
Jazz, it’s been called the only truly American music and the classical music of America. However you want to define it, no music education is complete without an excursion into jazz. Fortunately for homeschoolers, there is an abundance of great jazz resources designed for kids.

America Sings
Throughout America’s history, various songs have had such a strong impact on our national identity that they have become part of our national songbook. We’ve selected seven of these songs, which come from various periods of American history from the Revolutionary War to World War II. In learning more about these songs, the people that wrote them, and the times in which they were first sung, children will get a greater appreciation for what it means to be an American and those virtues we value most highly liberty and freedom.

Who's Playing All That Good Music?
We've been looking at individual composers and their music. It's time for a break to look at who is busy playing and singing this great music. Whether you play an instrument or use your own voice, there's a group just right for you.

Introducing Music Education with Picture Books
For those who couldn't carry a tune in a bucket or never learned to play a musical instrument or read music, the music education of their children seem to be a major challenge. Music lessons are one good solution, but learning to appreciate and understand music can begin even before you feel your child is ready to take on piano lessons.

Crafts for March

NEW: Bead and Button Teacup
Give someone an usual gift with this bead and button teacup. It's a great craft activity for kids who enjoy decorating things with fashion accessories, and can be used for a small plant since the recipient probably won't be drinking from the cup.

Easter Egg Decorating Ideas
All kinds of ways to decorate your Easter eggs: marbeled, sponge painted, crayons, napkin appliqued and more.

Parting of the Red Sea
Make this recreation of the biblical story where Moses parts the Red Sea to allow the freed Jewish slaves to escape from Egypt. What a fun way to teach children about this story of faith. 

MORE: Lion and Lamb Note Holders, Bead Babies, Celtic Cross, Flowered Basket, Mexican Confetti Eggs, Shamrock Cross

Naming an Atomic HeavyweightScience Spot
Naming an Atomic Heavyweight
There’s a new heavy in town. Element 112, a “superheavy” element with an atomic mass of 278, has been officially named copernicium, the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry announced February 19. It is the heaviest named element to date.

Worth Reading

Students Found to Pick Up Science Outside School
Informal science activities, such as trips to museums and zoos, viewing of television shows, and even discussions between parents and children, have the power to improve students’ learning in that subject and their appreciation for it, a national study released today concludes. (Who'd have thought?)
