Homeschool Resource Game of Tag

By
My sweet friend Cheryl tagged me in the newest Meme about Homeschooling Resources. Here are my answers.

ONE HOMESCHOOL BOOK I HAVE ENJOYED ... My absolute favorite was Pocketful of Pinecones by Karen Andreola. It is the greatest inspiration. I plan to purchase the sequel soon, because our library doesn't have it.

ONE RESOURCE I WOULDN'T BE WITHOUT ... My local library.

ONE RESOURCE I WISH I'D NEVER BOUGHT ... Apologia Biology. Textbooks are not for us.

ONE RESOURCE I ENJOYED LAST YEAR ... Learning Adventures' "A World of Adventure". It was an excellent all-inclusive unit study for a first-time homeschooler, especially for a teenage boy.

ONE RESOURCE I WILL BE USING THIS YEAR ... The internet, always.

ONE RESOURCE I WOULD LIKE TO BUY ... A microscope.

ONE RESOURCE I WISH EXISTED ... A voice-activated assignment record keeper and gradebook.

ONE HOMESCHOOL CATALOG I ENJOY READING ... I don't really look at catalogs. But, I have books and resources in my Amazon Cart at all times!! If you ever want to buy me  a gift, Amazon giftcards will be used within seconds.

ONE HOMESCHOOLING WEBSITE I USE REGULARLY ... Handbook of Nature Study and I always check Scholastic, PBS, C-Span, and many others.

TAG OTHER HOMESCHOOLERS! I decided to tag some of those homeschool moms I admire so much! Hope they will share their knowledge with you.

    Hi, I stopped by after seeing that Cheryl had tagged you. I signed on to FOLLOW, so I'll be back.

    I noticed that you didn't like Apologia Biology - that's exactly what I put as my answer too. LOL

    My post for this will publish on Sunday.

    I actually already did it, but thanks for tagging me again: http://adventuresofmommyness.blogspot.com/2011/09/homeschooling-meme.html

    Isn't it funny how different things work for different people. I love Apologia textbooks, but we also choose based on what interests them rather than because it's the "right order...."

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.

A Thomas Jefferson Education "This Week in History" ~ Schoolhouse Review

By
Talk about a GOLD MINE! A Thomas Jefferson Education's This Week in History by Rachel DeMille is her "labor of love" ... and I absolutely LOVE it!

For just $9.99 per month, you can log onto TJEd.com and click the "This Week in History" link to obtain many, many, many resources tied to specific events that occurred in the upcoming week in history. Or even better, you can receive the summaries and links to ALL resources right in your email Inbox each week! It doesn't get any easier than that! What does this really look like in real life? Each week, I receive an email from Rachel DeMille that sets out each date of the coming week. Under the date, there are listed anywhere from one to several events that occurred in history on that date. THEN there are ALL kinds of things to do related to that event, such as books to read, websites to visit, ac
