A couple of weeks ago I was asked to write a guest post at Or So She Says ....
I chose to write about how a rookie homeschooling mom can prepare for the world of homeschooling. If you would like to read that post, you can go here.
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.
I read your post over there when it originally posted! It's a great one. I am preparing to homeschool next year (3 kids, grades 2, 4, and 6, plus having my two younger kids tootling around) and my head is swimming. I am hunting all over for information on getting started. Your article was really great and I appreciate the time you put into writing it for everyone. :)
