Welcome to the 94th edition of Fuel the Fire. It is great to be back. I hope you are having a wonderful summer!
Sorry I am a little late this month. I had a fabulous website-vacation and took a little to motivate myself to get back to work :)
I have got some great ideas for you in this month's newsletter. Enjoy, and I will see you again next month.
Please note that some of the links in this newsletter are affiliate links, which means if you buy I get a (very) small percentage of the sale. If you would prefer not to support this site in that way, just go to Amazon and search for the book yourself.
In this section of my newsletter, I want to bring you great recommendations that I think you will enjoy in your homeschooling.
When I first started this site, I mostly wanted to share some of the wonderful books I had found during homeschooling.
I remember spending hours and hours looking for that 'perfect book find' to spark some great homeschooling projects.
These are some of my favorite books - For your bookshelf.
I actually wrote a new blog post! I know, shocking :)
3 creative ways to teach history (or rather, include it in your homeschooling in a fun, low-key way!).
Now is a good time to be adding to your nature table. Especially if you are planning trips to the beach or the park!
I know nature tables can take up quite a bit of space, so here are my favorite storage solutions :)
And I have a lot of other fun ideas about nature tables here!
If you are planning your new homeschool year, don't forget I have lots of creative schedule ideas on my site.
The Time Out schedule is one where you get unplugged for several hours a day - and do projects together.
It is a good way to carve out the time you need to actually do some of the things you thought you would be doing when you first started homeschooling :)
By the way, if you are struggling to stick to your homeschool schedule then do check out my ebook, Stick-ability!
I am thinking even younger children would love to try this. How about letting them loose with Christmas washi tape and some blank greetings cards - they would make fantastic Christmas cards to send to your family and friends.
I always loved to have a stack of printables on hand. They are perfect for rainy days - or to take on journeys.
I have a page where I collect my favorites :) Lots of free homeschool printable ideas here for you.
I have instructions for a nature doll on my site that we often sit and make just for fun.
They are fairly easy to make (good for dexterity!). And you can incorporate lots of found items from your nature walk.
If you want to feel like a super-Mom take some yarn out with you when you are out in the forest. It makes a great activity to entertain the children when you stop for some lunch (or a rest!).
I have been thinking that we should have another big 'freebie fest'. Where I share with you lots and lots and lots of links to downloadable freebies! Doesn't that sound good?
So I thought we could have a Freebie Fortnight starting Monday 4th September for 14 days.
Every day I will post freebies - a huge number of links to downloads that I think you will enjoy. To keep it easy for myself I am going to stick to Pinterest and Facebook - both to the homeschooling-ideas page and the group. If you would like to join in just make sure you have followed the board, liked the page, or joined the group. You can find them here:
Be sure to look out for the next issue on 6th September 2017. If you can't wait, then you can find a more regular injection of ideas on:
