New Homeschool Additions with Carson-Dellosa

Disclaimer: I am a Carson-Dellosa Brand Ambassador. I receive products to try out. All opinions are my own.

This year, Owl Creek Academy will look a little different. The kids will do their morning time, Bible Study, Social Studies, and Science together. They will be separate for math, reading, writing, and snapper's speech practice. This is an experiment and I'm not sure how it will go. However, I have a good feeling about it because they do everything together, so I think it will work.

I have some Carson-Dellosa Publishing items that I think are going to help me keep the kids organized through this change.

Center Organizers Pocket Chart

I'm going to use these pocket charts to organize each kid's work for the week. It will have their packets to work through, along with any games or additional items they will need. I'm really looking forward to seeing how these will work for the year. I think they are going to work great. My mind reels at the possibilities-- if we had a schoolroom.

I think the windows on the front will be good for site words, math facts, and so many other things to reinforce ideas. It would even be good to keep a list of daily work in, then the kids could use dry erase markers to mark things off.


Colors Mini Bulletin Board Set

This set is going to be wonderful. Because my kids do not go to a formal art class, there are things that have been forgotten in our art studies. I will be addressing that this year. They love art and do a lot of art, but the formal lessons will be improved this year, starting with the color wheel.

This color wheel set is going to help reinforce lessons on mixing colors. From there, we will build on other concepts involving color mixing. When the color wheel is put together, it fits inside of a gallon ziploc bag for dry erase and storage.



-20 to 20 Student Number Line

I am absolutely in love with these number lines. I fold them in half for my little who is learning addition and subtraction. I use the whole line for my older one that is beginning to get into negative values.

They are very sturdy and wipe-off as well, just use a dry erase marker. You can attach them to a desk, or leave them loose. I have them in the kids' clipboards with their other daily items.

Not only do they help with addition and subtraction, but also numbers' relationships to the other numbers. I am really looking forward to using these.


Galaxy Magazine File Holder

This magazine file holder has been an organizing lifesaver. I have small books and resources that get lost in amongst the bigger books and resources. I put these smaller items in the holder and they no longer get lost.

The holder is very sturdy and will stand up to lots of use. It was very easy to put together as well. The color is a beautiful teal blue.

They could also be used to organize items for each child. Put the child's name on it and store their workbooks and resources inside. I'm considering doing this as well.


Route 66: A Trip Through The 66 Books Of The Bible

I'm very excited about this resource. I really want to get the kids studying the books of the Bible and their authors. I believe starting them on this early will get them digging deeper into their Bible study as they get older.

This book has lessons and activities that introduce The Bible, Old Testament, New Testament, and teach about every book of the Bible.

There are resources for children of a variety of ages- that means that all your kids can participate and learn.

I'm so excited!

Science File Folder Games

This is going to be a game-changer for my little. She is a hands-on learner and needs to reinforce what she learns. Tbomb remembers everything he hears or reads- he moves fast. These games are going to help me keep them both on track to learning together. She gets the reinforcement and can continue to let the concepts sink in as we move along.

This is going to be the hard part about teaching science and social studies to them together- they each learn so differently. I think these file folder games will make a difference as we move along.


I will continue to share the changes we are making, as well as the additions to Owl Creek Academy.
