learning academics through heritage crafts

America has such a rich history of crafts, brought to our shores from many countries around the world.  I found a very large collection of free lesson plans for K-12 on crafts, or practical skills, such as weaving, basketry, pottery and more.  

The lesson plans include historical information on the skill, and they include hands-on projects.  There is much more to these – they even tell us which subjects are being taught in each lesson, for example: Quilts and the Underground Railroad, Grades 4-5; Subject: Art; Related Subjects: Social Studies, Language Arts, Geometry 

Visit Craft Revival to view the free practical skills and lesson plans, separated by elementary & middle school grades and high school grades. 

This is such a treasure trove – I hope you’ll check it out!

    I support the teaching of practical skills because this is an important part of education. Infact the practical experience and skills are more important than the theoretical ones.Good to know about this free quilting course.Great job!!

Balancing Homeschooling while Working From Home

At times, well-intentioned advice suggests that dedicating an entire day to homeschooling leaves no room for a job during regular hours. This is not necessarily so. My husband and I owned a garden center for a few years while also homeschooling. After that, I had an online business while homeschooling. We did not “only work … Read More about Balancing Homeschooling and Working From Home – a Realistic Approach

making the transition from public school to homeschool

We did what you’re doing, or thinking about doing. Our eldest two went to public school in our little town, and it was just fine, we didn’t have any problems, but I missed them. Also, it was a hassle packing up the baby and toddler to commute the school kids from two different school locations, … Read More about Going from Public School to Home School? Here’s My Advice
