Magical Mouse Schoolhouse is a unique blog that plusses the homeschool experience and prompts home educators to think outside the textbook.
We’d like to offer a Pooh-sized welcome to all new fans! We’re so glad you’ve joined us here at Magical Mouse Schoolhouse, a unique blog that plusses the homeschool experience and prompts home educators to think outside the textbook. Here you will discover teachable moments found in Walt Disney entertainment—from the history of Walter Elias Disney to the magic behind animation techniques and beyond—and will take away creative applications and suggested lesson plans for kids preschool through high school.
For instance, watch Dumbo and learn about aviation. Build a paper airplane with an elephant’s proportions. Consider if large wings (or ears) help or hinder flight. Ride Epcot’s Test Track. Design a wooden model car and put it to the performance test in a pinewood derby.
Non-homeschooling parents can employ takeaways to supplement their children’s schoolwork or to keep their kids from stagnating during summer break or other time off from class.
Classroom teachers can also utilize the blog to enhance their lesson plans and offer additional course work.
We encourage you to stretch the boundaries of your home classroom and embrace the teachable moments that take the guise of Disney movies, Disney theme parks, Disney story books, Disney art, and more!
Bring the magic of Walt Disney entertainment to your home classroom, and you too can learn while you play!
You can now bring the magic home with MAGICAL MOUSE SCHOOLHOUSE: Learn While You Play at Walt Disney World Resort – on sale now for just $11.39 at Amazon!

Wow! What an interesting site. I love how you weave Disney magic into learning. What kid wouldn’t love that? Stopping by from UBP13. I’d love if you’d hop over to ready-set-read.com if you get a chance.
Thanks so much! I’m glad you stopped by, and I’ll be sure to check out your site very soon!
I found your site, almost by mistake, but after seeing all the wonderful things you do knew I was meant to find you. Thank you for all the wonderful and interesting techniques!
Aw, thanks so much! I’m so glad you found us…however that happened 😉
New fan, with our first trip to Disney planned for June!! Looking all the great tips to get us thru the magic kingdom!!
Wonderful! I hope you have a great time!
Thanks so much! Glad you stopped by! I’ll visit you shortly 🙂
Jodi, as someone who used to HS, I really love this site! I think it’s fun, will keep kids engaged and also fun for adults! Thanks so much!
Thanks so much, Tara! I do get a lot of commentary from adults sometimes too 😉
Thank you for what you do!!! Our older kids are in public school but we are thinking of homeschooling our younger 2 so it’s great to have tips 🙂
Aw, thanks so much! I hope you find us helpful! So glad you found us 🙂
we are considering pulling our 7 yr old for next year because he is not really learning anything at school 🙁 Everything is to easy for him and needs something more!!! The school is not willing at all to work with him 🙁
That’s such a shame. If you want, you can email me at jodi@magicalmouseschoolhouse.com, and I can give you some homeschool resources and info.
I’m late! I’m late! I’m stopping by from the UBP13. It’s good to meet another family who is wearing the ‘ears’! I’m loving how you incorporate Disney into you’re schooling. I’m looking forward to sharing with my grandchildren. I hope you stop by our party for a slice of warm banana bread and cold milk.
Hugs,
Cathi

Thanks for dropping in! I’ll be right over for that banana bread… 🙂
I homeschooled my son who is now about to start a family of his own. I agree that homeschool can be fun & learning does not always have to come from a text book. We used a multitude of folder games, field trips & even rummaging to teach him & incorporating Disney World sounds wonderful.
I always love to hear success stories like yours!

This looks like really good thing. I shared it on my Pintarest Lu Ann Worley or LAWonder10 (I am not sure which is the user)
Oh, thanks! Lu Ann! Btw, I got your email & will reply soon! Thanks!
I wish I could have homeschooled, especially the first 7 years.
It has its challenges, but many more rewards 🙂
It is kind of neat to incorporate Disney with school. I mean what child doesn’t love something to do with Disney. Teaches them that learning is incorporated with fun!
Exactly!
