I recently came across a book called Kitchen Table Play and Learn by Copley & Custer. The subtitle caught my attention “Activities and lessons for building your preschooler’s vital developmental skills.
The book starts out with some questions that someone would have when starting out this book. Then it moves into Read more »

Did you know that scientists can tell what kind of rock you send to them? Follow this site and find out how you can send a rock to a scientist. They will test the rock with the same technology they use on the mars exploration rover and then tell you what the rock is made of. They feature a rock of the month and give you some interesting links where you can learn even more about rocks. You will see pictures of the whole process of what your rock goes through when you send one in. Here’s the link….http://ratw.la.asu.edu/

Career exploration for High School students can be fun and exciting. After all these years of home schooling, your child can start to investigate what it is he/she will be able to do the rest of their life.
The little weE-book published by the Old Schoolhouse Magazine called Career Exploration for High School Students introduces what you can do with your child to help them investigate this area. Read more »

If you’re anything like me, one of the few things you remember about public school were the field trips. We’re they fun? That’s what I like so much about homeschooling – we can take field trips to so many interesting places!
I’ve written up some homeschool field trip ideas on Read more »

I found a great site that lists lots of virtual field trips. I didn’t know that there was one site that had so many of these! It looks like a lot of fun. They have everything from geysers, volcanoes, how products are made, and lots more. I emailed this site to my children to look at. Let me know what you think…. http://www.googolpower.com/content/free-learning-resources/virtual-field-trips

Recently I was able to view the new weE-book Simplifying Classical Education from The Old Schoolhouse. Although I have written ebooks, I’m new to this whole concept of weE-books. They certainly are little books, but as a homeschool Mom I don’t have much time to read. Sometimes a little book on a certain topic I am interested in is all I can handle.
I have been interested in Classical Education for some time Read more »

What a novel idea to homeschool your child for free…. In this day and age of layoffs, cutbacks, and downsizing, many families probably think they don’t have the money to homeschool anymore.
I thought it was time for me to address this subject since homeschooling on a shoestring is near and dear to my heart. I have been using these principles for years and love sharing them with others.
I hope the information at homeschool your child for free will be helpful to you. Feel free to share anything you have found that I have left out. Read more »

Summer is almost here and life is changing a little in our house as Dad is off for the summer. This prompted me to think about what we are going to do this summer.
My philosophy is that whether you homeschool all summer or not, whatever you do, make sure it is the best thing for your family. We do a lot of swimming and gardening in the summer and this year I will be working with several children on their spelling and athletic skills. I have many friends that do various things with their summer. Some keep right on plugging away with their school work and some put all the books away.
I’ve written a whole page on this topic at my website Homeschool How To

High gas prices have you strapped? Don’t feel like you can take your family to any fun places? Why not try some virtual field trips for fun. Nothing is the same as being there, but you can at least see some new things you have never seen before.
Here’s an interesting virtual field trip that you can take that shows you how Cape Cod potato chips are made. http://www.capecodchips.com/visitors/factorytour.aspx

Finally a free foreign language learning site that teaches you a language with native speakers and interactive vocabulary and audio. You just click on the language you want to learn and then go through the lessons. I would suggest using the audio lessons unless you already know how to pronounce the words. This is a very handy site for me in trying to teach my children a foreign language. The language is learned by playing games which makes it so much more fun. I’m excited about this one! http://www.digitaldialects.com/index.htm

Here’s my moon sand review. My son has been wanting Moon Sand for a very long time. I finally broke down and let him get some. He got the Moon Sand Castle Play although we debated getting the Moon Sand Adventure Island. It’s fun to touch and squeeze and I must say that they have some pretty cool Moon Sand kits.
The only disadvantage I could think of was the messiness of it. It is still sand and still gets all over if you’re not careful. I wouldn’t recommend adding water either unless you want to either drain the water our or throw the sand away.
