Happy birthday to the great physicist, chemist, and two-time Nobel laureate Marie Skłodowska Curie, born on this day in 1867.

It’s Homeschool Library Day! This week: exploring “The Philosophical 100s” in the Dewey Decimal Classification, part of our year-long survey of the whole of knowledge. (Really!)

Calling all homeschool photographers! The Wikimedia Commons Photo Challenge is a great way for serious homeschool photography students to develop their talents and gain some recognition. This month’s themes are “Weather Vanes” and “Long Exposure Photography.”

Great homeschool teaching ideas for the week ahead. This week: Mercurial transits, Oklahoma humorists, gunpowder plots, Dewey decimals, fallen empires, long-legged birds, Congolese rivers, a toast to liberty, and more.

Take a homeschool tour of the U.S. states and the countries of the world with the River Houses. This week: Virginia, Colombia, the Comoros, the Congo, and the Congo Republic.

“I have been treading on leaves all day until I am autumn-tired.” (Our homeschool poem-of-the-week, from Robert Frost, for the falling leaves.)

A homeschool review of wonders to watch for in the northern hemisphere night sky during the month of November 2019.

Join our year-long homeschool tour of North American bird families and pick up some great science and natural history teaching ideas along the way. This week: the Limpkins, Rails, Gallinules, Coots, and Cranes.

It’s the first day of November 2019! Here are some things to look for in the homeschool month ahead.
