Wrapping Up a Month of History
Ancient Times and The Middle Ages 7000BCE - 1500's
The Middle Ages ushered in a distinct period of cultural refinement and expression through art, literature, and architecture in the Age of Discovery. This epoch also gave rise to agricultural innovations and a commercial economy independent of the feudal system. Today, we see the impact of traditions, innovations, and relics of the past in modern governments, economies, and cultures.
Kicking off a Month of Literary Learning in March!

Homeschooling Advice
10 Tips for Homeschooling Wiggle Worms
It can be challenging to parent and homeschool a little wiggle worm. Are you homeschooling a child who struggles with ADD, ADHD, SPD, anxiety, or other special needs? If so, here are ten tips that can help!
1. Establish Routines
Every parent knows that children thrive on routines, but routines are especially important for children who struggle to maintain attention and focus. Trying your best to adhere to a predictable routine can be extremely helpful.
2. Use Visual Reminders
Set your child up for success with visual reminders. In our home, I have a laminated morning to-do list in my son's room. The kids' bathroom door has a laminated evening to-do list. These lists did not take long to make, and they helped to cut down on parenting nagging and increase independence.
When you do give your child verbal instructions, make sure your child is making eye contact with you. Ask him to repeat the instructions back to you. If you provide written instructions as well, there is a higher likelihood that your directions will stick.
