Teaching Music!

I've currently started trying to implement more music teaching and also more practice time for myself. My goal is to be more proficient in my music skills so I can teach the boys more. Here is a great site for not only teachers but students. I will let all of you know how my program is going once I get more structured. It is always a challenge teaching two boys at the same time in the midst of a toddler running around. http://missdorla.com/

I also loved this site and I feel it would be worth the 6 month subscriptionhttp://www.pianomorning.com/

Here are a few to start with. I would love for anyone to share any links that they really like using for their kids.. There is so much out there that you can spend hours searching.

I use this website for Keynan and also to occupy one while I teach the other :)

The Study of the Human Heart.


Part of our Science curriculum this year is learning the anatomy of the human body and all it's complex functions. While you might think that this concept is to full for a 7 year old to grasp you probably are right. What is cool is they will be learning about human anatomy until they know it very well. I remember having to learm human anatomy in college for 8 weeks, what a nightmare!lol
They truly will have the time to really memorize the way the human body functions and how important it is to take care of your heart by eating right, exercising and sleeping!

I found a great site online with more free print outs! With over 2 million families homeschooling in America the resources are free and abundant!
