Homeschool Library Builder ~ TOS Review

Books. Oh, I love them! I have a perfect system available to me through my public library ... I can do all kinds of searches, "order" books that I want, and have them waiting for me at the library.

But sometimes, oh sometimes, my library does not have the book I am needing, or it has a large hold list and it won't be available for me to check out when I am needing it. That puts me in a position to purchase the book. I can typically purchase it new at several different places. But, that gets costly! There have been times I have completely changed my plans because of this problem.

NO. MORE.

I decided to put HSLB to the test:
  1. I tried to check out Charlotte's Web  from my library. Guess what. It's gonna be a while before I can get it, and I need it asap. This would be a great title to have in our home library. So, I did a title search at HSLB and came up with two great options at GREAT prices!
  2. Dawson is getting ready to start a unit on knights. So, I did a keyword search of "knights". I received 10 results. And, one was even an out-of-print book on The Middle Ages with stories, activities and reproducibles for a BARGAIN!
Will this site be useful to me in our future studies? YES! Should you go check it out also? ABSOLUTELY!

ABCya

Eli's reading resource teacher shared a website with me yesterday that I would like to pass along. It's called ABCya . There are separate educational sections with fantastic games for ages kindergarten through 5th grade. I browsed the 2nd grade level, and it includes age-appropriate games about Letters, Numbers, Shapes, Geometry, Patterns, Mouse Manipulation, Art and Holiday games. There are lots and lots of fun and creative games for children to play. They are fun, but oh, so educational. Eli's favorite, in his short time playing it, was Create a Car . A lot of the games also have Apps available for purchase (99 cents for most of them) for the iPad and iPhone. I have been looking for another free website for games similar to Starfall , for some time. I think I have found it. I can feel confident having Eli and Brynne play these games.

Cells ~ It's What's for Dinner

Dawson made edible cells on Friday. He made an animal cell pizza ... and a plant cell chocolate chip cookie ... He reviewed what he's learned about cells the past two weeks, and I had dinner made by someone else. Win, win!! I am linking up at Science Sunday at Adventures in Mommydom.

Last Child in the Woods ~ Chapters 1-4

Welcome to our book study of Last Child in the Woods by Richard Louv. To be honest, I have no idea what this "study" is going to look like. I imagine that when we get together I will post about all of the things that caught my eye. And I would ask that you leave a comment, or a link to your own blog post in the comment, about what caught yours. This isn't anything formal, ladies, just a place to talk about what we have read. I have now read the first four chapters of Last Child in the Woods two times. It is just so good. Several things have specifically hit me deep, but in general I just realized that "times, they are a changin'." Things aren't the way they were when we were kids. Chapter 1. Gifts of Nature ~ "When I see birches bend to left and right ... I like to think some boy's been swinging them." ~ Robert Frost What is your definition of nature? What feelings, visions, senses does it conjure up? For me, it's not a
