H is for Healthy Summer Book Club

By

The past two summers I have "led" a book study on this blog. What I mean by "led" is that I read a book and posted my thoughts on it each week. I did have some commenters, and I really appreciated the participation and input!

Two summers ago I read and discussed The Book Whisperer by Donalyn Miller.



Last summer I read and discussed Last Child in the Woods by Richard Louv.



This summer I am shifting gears. I am planning to read and discuss Trim Healthy Mama by Serene Allison and Pearl Barrett. It is a "common sense guide to satisfy your cravings and energize your life"


If you would like to join me in the reading and discussion of the book this summer (starting the first week of June), then purchase the book and get ready!


I am linking up with Marcy at Ben and Me.

    Nicole I'd love to join in on this book study but this book is not available from my inter-library loan program, Do you know of any place that sells used copies of it? Amazon & Barnes & Noble have is listed for $35.00 (Ouch!)

      Yeah, it's not cheap. I bought mine from Amazon and it was $31.50. I couldn't find it anywhere cheaper. However, the book is about two-inches thick! At least with Amazon you could get free shipping. The shipping alone on that big ol' book would cost about $10.00, I think. Hope you can grab the book!!

      You can also purchase it in ebook form (pdf, kindle, nook, iPad, etc.) for $19.95. Here is the link to the Trim Healthy Mama site where it can be purchased.

ABCya

By
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.

How to Build a Homeschool U.S. History Curriculum from "America: The Story of Us"

By
FINAL UPDATE (JUNE 2012): We completed our entire U.S. History course last month using the America: The Story of Us video series and the resources I had planned. We officially covered Episodes 1-9 which got us through the 1920's. We plan to use the remaining three videos when we study the World Wars in a couple of years. I just want to go on record as saying that I believe whole-heartedly that the use of this series with my resources would more than qualify your child for a full credit of U.S. History. And, it was exciting and enriching. Feel free to follow all of my lesson plans. You can see them all at this link: http://journey2excellence.blogspot.com/search/label/America%3A%20The%20Story%20of%20Us Update: America: The Story of Us is now available as an InstaStream through Netflix! We also had it available at our local library. If you didn't receive a complimentary copy, you won't have to pay the $30 for it! Many of us received a complimentary copy of "...
