Free! Easter Printables & Activities
Take a look at these FREE Easter Printables & Activities to use with your brood! Easter should be a celebration! Around our house, the week up to Easter is full of Easter related and springtime activities that make it memorable and fun. In general, Easter has become commercialized and it can be easy for kids to grow up not knowing what Easter is really about. Sure, bunnies and Easter eggs can be fun and yummy, but oftentimes we get caught up in the things of this world and the real reason for Easter gets overshadowed. Try some of the FREE Easter Printables & Activities offered to keep Jesus the center of your Easter celebration!
Starburst Rock Cycle Lab Sheets
Our Starburst Rock Cycle Lab Sheets are ideal for teachers of large classrooms and for the homeschool mom who is teaching their own. It wasn’t until several years ago did I even try the Starburst Rock Cycle lab, but at that time I wasn’t needing lab sheets. Fast forward some years and I needed lab sheets to accompany this fun and sweet activity for a class. One thing I really enjoy about teaching a class (big or small) is that I get to see firsthand how the worksheet or activity works and can then make adjustments if necessary. It’s like a recipe, you try it and then make tweaks to perfect it. That is what I did with these lab sheets.
Letters and Sounds
Letters and sounds… simple, right? Well, for all of you parents out there who already feel overwhelmed with everything preschool, just remember, keep it simple. Have a goal in your mind for what you want your child to learn by the end of the year (or even the end of the month!) and then start taking steps to accomplish it. You do not need to do every alphabet activity, just pick a few and stick with them. There are plenty of Letters and Sounds Printables & Activities right here to get you started!
Types of Landforms Mini Project
Sometime in elementary school, students learn the different types of landforms and then again during their middle school years. I am starting to teach a 6th grade Earth Science course this year using the Apologia Earth Science textbook. There is a section outlining landforms.This is the text that we used for this activity book. However, there are several free resources that you can use to gather information for your Types of Landforms Project.

Beginning Sounds ABC BINGO Game
Years ago, my husband’s cousin gave us a game called ABC BINGO. It included 4 game cards, a set of printed letter cards, and some circles for game pieces. It quickly became one of our favorite games to play as a group. Even as the kids grew older, we still enjoyed playing this game since everyone could play. As our family grew, there weren’t enough game cards for all of us to play anymore. After some haggling from a couple of my kids, I made this Beginning Sounds ABC BINGO Game! It includes 8 BINGO Cards and a Teacher Calling Sheet. Check out our Alphabet BINGO Game too! Download your set below!

Hi! My name is Marie. I am a Christian wife and mother to six children. I used to work in the public school system as a middle school science teacher. Honestly, I never thought that I would homeschool my children. Little did I know what God had planned! The Homeschool Daily is where I post slideshows, activities, tips, and ideas! I hope you find encouragement and teaching resources while you are here! Look around and stay awhile!
