All About Spelling is a logical, sequential, multisensory spelling program. The lessons involve sight, sound, and touch. Each lesson builds upon the previous lesson. The program is mastery-based, not grade-level based, so when students master a specific concept, they move on. It also has continual review. We had previously purchased and used levels 1-3 of All About Spelling. Munchkin really liked the program, and it helped build her confidence with spelling. We were thrilled to learn that we would have the opportunity to review levels 4 and 5 of the program. When you first receive your spelling program, you will…

We’ve never seen skies the likes of what we are seeing here. It’s absolutely glorious without light pollution. I am so grateful for cool,…
Sweet Potato/Pumpkin Loaf Cake
Posted in Gluten Free
While I like the idea of the pumpkin roll, I wanted something a little easier to make. I decided to take my recipe for sweet potato muffins and put it in a loaf pan.
