Robin Hood: A Homeschool Math Adventure

2nd Grade Homeschool Math

Homeschooling my twin boys has been such a honor. Writing the curriculum we use made homeschooling so special. It was a way for me to share my heart with them.

While I do have this curriculum available inside our Etsy store here: Robin Hood Math

I wore the curriculum as a gift to my children.

We started this course at the beginning of the year during the 2020 pandemic. Robinhood math has two parts. We completed Part 1 before winter break and finished the school year with part two.

Here is some of the work we did.

The math curriculum was written with a running story of Robin Hood & his Merry Men and Women. Each learning concept accompanies a short chapter of the story.

Little John

When Robin Hood meets Little John there isn't enough room on the bridge for the two men. After dueling, they both end up on the water. The boys helped the charters jump out of the water on stones ... counting by fives.

I drew stones on the pavement and they jumped and counted by fives.

Main Lesson Bookwork

Friar Tuck

The boys learned to count coins with Friar Tuck.

Dad helps teach our coin lesson.

Lady Mirian

We learned to tell time.

Archery

Weather permitting ... they boys have practiced archery during this block. When we finish, they will be able to shoot their target and add their points using their column adding skills.

This conculded Part 1 of Robinhood Math.

This math curriculum is given in two parts. Part 1 could be done before winter break and Part 2 after.

I will make another blog post for the second part of this 2nd Grade Math Curriculum. 🏹

Lemon Balm Cone Flower Immunity Booster

"This herb should be kept in every gentlewoman's house…it causeth the mind and heart to become merry and driveth away troublesome cares." 17th-century herbalist Culpeper ~ Our Lemon Balm Cone Flower Herbal Immunity Booster A good herbalist will find many uses for one plant. Not that I like to consider myself a herbalist .. I despise labels! At any rate, lemon balm and cone flower both have immunity boosting properties. I have had this immunity boosting medicine in the works for some time now. It is lemon balm and cone flower and child safe. I plan on starting the twins on this in the fall in preparation of the colder months. Our Lemon Balm is homegrown on our homestead. These are two year plants.

The ones we used to make our immunity booster were sent to us from some dear fri...

Quick, Nutritious Breakfast for Homeschool

Usually, the finishing touches I put on homeschool planning is meal prep and organizing my recipes, because the cafeteria lady is also me. I'm always looking for quick, nutritious breakfast meals that don't require a lot, so that we can get started with academics. Because our, "First Breakfast," is quick and small, the, "Second Breakfast," is where we make up. 😆 Seriously though, the ability to provide proper nourishment to my children has been my favorite part of homeschooling. I love serving them healthy snacks while they are calling on their brains to work hard. Food is tied so heavily into what we do each day, and for that reason I'll have lots of blog posts about it. Today, I'm covering, "First & Second Breakfast." I created an online menu to use and share for meal planning. You can see it here & I hope it blesses you as much as it does me. First & Second Breakfast Ideas Free Resource: These are the forms I created t...
