Recently I received an autographed copy of the book Sarah’s Wish because I am part of the TOS homeschool crew. One of the benefits of being part of the crew is getting great books like this one I am about to tell you about. Sarah’s Wish is written by a 62 year old grandfather named [...]
After looking over College Prep Genius some more and now that we have our ACT scores back, I thought I would post about this course again. Like I said in my last post, my daughter
I know how hectic things can get around here and how hard it is for me to get a way for even a day. I haven’t been to a homeschool curriculum fair in many years. Part of that is because of time and
Here are some more virtual tours for homeschooling that I came across recently. I thought I would share them with you.
What does mind mapping have to do with homeschooling you ask? Plenty! I wanted to bring you this Freemind review to let you know about a nifty little program you can use in many aspects of homeschooling or home business. If you’re not familiar with mind mapping,
I recently came across a book called The Complete Guide to Organized Parenting (at the bottom of that page) written by Barbara Myers. She is a professional organizer, mom and website owner who has put together this exhaustive resource. You may think, “Is organized parenting really possible?” I’ve read many organizing books over the years [...]
I had never thought to use magazines for homeschooling until the other day when I went to throw one out. My son said that he wanted to use it. He wanted to cut out the pictures and make a book. “What a great idea.” I thought.
I keep finding more Internet field trips, so I’ll just keep sharing them here and telling you what is out there.
You might think it’s too late now to help another family this Christmas, but I say it’s never too late for Christmas giving. Even if you don’t find someone to help before Christmas, people who need help will still need it after Christmas too.
That last post became quite long, so I decided to continue my list of educational toys for Christmas here….
While it’s easy to slip into the buying frenzy of Christmas, I think most homeschool parents would prefer educational toys for Christmas because it fosters learning. At our house, I find that most of the toys that are bought end up just sitting around cluttering the house up because they just aren’t that interesting anymore. [...]
I have collected some Thanksgiving resources for you to use this season. I will be posting more right up until Thanksgiving. Let me know what you think. Here’s a great site – Thanksgiving crafts for ages K-3. In order to get the PDFs of the booklets you have to be a member of their site, [...]
A few months ago I became aware of a program for homeschool High School students who want to homeschool college or at least get a head start on college while in High School. This is such a cool concept, I wish I had come up with it myself.
Today is my birthday, so I thought I would give you one of my best freebie ideas. I found this a few weeks ago and just love it. The concept is that you register with this company for free and list any books that you want to give away. You also list any books that [...]
My son’s favorite Science experiment involves simple baking soda and vinegar. When he says, “Mom, let’s do Chemistry,” I know to get out the vinegar and baking soda. You just sprinkle some baking soda in any sink or bathtub. Then you pour some vinegar over it and watch the bubbles and fizz begin. Most people [...]
Here’s another great virtual tour. You’ll need to click on Multimedia at the top right to see all the pictures and videos. I learned a ton just by browsing for a few minutes. I’m looking forward to showing this to my kids. I didn’t realize how involved this process was or how beautiful the land [...]
