Homeschool nature tools you didn’t know you needed 🌿🔍

The last of the golden days are the perfect excuse to take learning outside. Here’s what’s making our nature study table this week:

🃏 Ecosystem: a card game that teaches real biodiversity concepts while everyone’s just trying to win

📓 Science Journals: half-blank, half-lined pages built for both drawing and explaining what they find

🌡️ Student Thermometers: an easy, accurate way to make weather and temperature part of the lesson

🔍 Jumbo Magnifiers: extra-large, hands-free, and sized perfectly for little explorers. None of it feels like “school”

👇 Which one is going straight in your outdoor learning basket?

📌 Save this for your next backyard science day.

“Am I really doing this right?” 🫶

If that thought has crossed your mind this week, we want you to hear this: you’re not alone and you’re doing better than you think.

Sometimes the hardest part of homeschooling isn't teaching. It's the second-guessing.

Did I choose the right curriculum?

Should we be doing more?

Why does everyone else's homeschool seem to work so much better than ours?

Am I actually doing this right?

If you've had those thoughts, you're certainly not the only one.

There is an overwhelming amount of homeschool advice, curriculum, schedules, methods and opinions out there. And when you're trying to make the best decisions for your children, it's easy to start believing there must be one “right” way to do it.

The truth is - there isn't.

Your children aren't exactly like anyone else's children.
Your family doesn't have the same schedule, priorities, strengths or challenges. And the homeschool that works beautifully for one family may not be the right fit for yours.

That's why we believe choosing homeschool resources should begin with your family, not with what's most popular.

If you're just getting started, give yourself permission to begin slowly. Think about your homeschool style and what fits your family's values and lifestyle. Start with a few core subjects, see how your children respond, and build from there.

And if you've been homeschooling for years and you're already feeling tired before the year has really begun?
Maybe you don't need to push harder.
Maybe you need to change something.
Take a break. Read together. Play a game. Go somewhere. Work on a project. Find your way back to the joy that brought you to homeschooling in the first place.

You are not failing because you need to adjust.
You're learning what works for your family.

And we're here to help you find resources that fit, not make you feel like you need to buy everything on the shelf.

🤍 Save this for the next time you're doubting yourself.
🤍 Share it with a homeschool mom who needs the reminder.

🤍And tell us: Which part of this did you need to hear today?

If you’re staying indoors because of the heat or the smoke, how about giving the family a mystery to solve? Our Weekly Pick is Spy Labs’ Master Detective Toolkit, which gives kids ages 8 and up a chance to learn how detectives answer questions, gather evidence, and solve crimes! It would be so fun to set up something at home where the kids could use what they’ve learned to solve a ‘crime’ (I’m picturing working together figuring out who ate the last cookies and hid everyone’s left shoes). What a fun memory to share! We also have smaller kits if you want to do one specific activity - I picked up the Pocket Metal Detector for my youngest teen, he’s going to have so much fun with it this summer. Time to make some good memories together! -Michelle

Do you find that your younger children forget a lot of math basics over the summer? One way to keep their math memories fresh is with games, and our Weekly Pick “Games for Math” by Peggy Kaye has some great ideas to help you make math review fun for kids ages 5-10. I think Kaye really helps parents see how easy it is to bring math into activities families enjoy. It’s an approach I definitely agree with personally, and I would much rather bake and sew and play games over the summer than do more worksheets. Of course every family is different, and this won’t be the book for everyone, but if you’ve been wondering about how to review math then maybe it’s the book for you! -Michelle

Does anyone have kids that are fascinated by horses? In honour of Stampede starting here in Calgary, our Weekly Pick is the History of the Horse Basic Bundle. A unit study that allows your student to immerse themselves in the world of horses for a whole year, the bundle includes resources to learn facts about horses, exciting novels featuring horses, and even a book on how to draw horses! My younger self would have been so happy to study these books. If you want to go even deeper, we do have a Deluxe Bundle with even more books and a game of Horse-opoly. Happy Stampede everyone! -Michelle
