Homeschool Thursday

It has been awhile since I posted anything about Homeschooling. 

Hannah is winding down her sophmore year.  She says that she is getting tired of The Lord of Rings.  It has been a long year.

Hannah will be going to Washington DC in May to the Smithsonian with her Constitution Class.  I will have her take pictures and post them here. 

The resource I would like to share are the newsletters from Crosswalk.  They have been especially helpful to me in my journey.  They have several so hopeful you will find one that meets your needs. You can sign up here.

Homeschool Thursday

With Hannah being in the 10th grade now she basically is a independant learner and I really don't have much to do except check up on her and make sure that she is doing what she is suppose to do. 

I did receive Two things in my email today that I found interesting.

Uexceltest.com is a site where you can take tests for college credit.

Open and Free courses from Carnegie Mellon.  I am thinking about having Hannah take French.   

Homeschool Thursday and What's Happening in your neck of the Internet?

I discovered a great site today.

This site has alot of pdf files that you can use for all sorts of things from lapbook to pages for your portfolio at the end of the year.  Great Site.

Make sure you head over to Clickschooling.com and sign up for the newsletter.  You will receive a newsletter everyday that has FREE resources to enhance your schooling.  Great Resource.  While your at it go to Carschooling.com and sign up for that newsletter as well.  this one offer resources for you to use for schooling while your in the car (I always told my husband I don't know why it's called homeschooling as we were very rarely home LOL). 

I wanted to find some new blogs and highlight some my post from the past week.  If you would like to join me just sign up on the linky below.

Some of the things I wanted to highlight

A cute video featuring Grover from Sesame Street  

In Honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month the Pink Glove Dance Videos


What do you want to highlight?

Homeschool Thursday

These Sites came through my email this week and I thought I would share them.  I have not check them out thoroughly so like with everything parents should use with discretion.

History of America  looks like an interesting site that would give you some media to add to your lessons.

TVSchoolHouse  gives you access to old school educational films (I use to love it when we would get see films in class.)

 Looking for a Science Fair Project or Idea?  Then head over to Science Buddies.  There you will find all kinds of ideas and guides.

Need to take a trip but don't want to stop schooling.  Families on the Road  may have what you need.  You may even be interested in taking your whole family on the road for an extended period of time.

And Just a cute skit down by a homeschool group.  We did this every year in our old homeschool group during our Christmas Program.

 

Happy Schooling!!

Homeschool Thursday

I am having a hard time concentrating today as we are having pouring raining at the rate of 1/2 inch an hour. 

Rain most times causes me to have a headache ( I have arthritis in my neck) so it is hard to concentrate during those times. 

I am only going to share one resource today but it is a goody.

I receive a newsletter every month from Learning through History.  In this newsletter they have a complete mini-unit on various events or people in history.  This month it is on the Wives of Henry the VIII. It also contains various resources that you can buy for this theme but there are enough free links to have a great little unit.  They also give you DVR alerts on interesting shows that are coming up so you can tape them and show them later at your convenience.  This is a great resource.  The site also has all the past mini units.

Have a great week (hope we don't float away)

Homeschool Thursday- arts and crafts

I have used these lessons for Art Appreciation for Hannah and she really has enjoyed them.  These are a great place to start.

TeachArtathome.com  sends out a newsletter filled with great free lessons.

Here is a cute little Button Wreath.  While you are at this site explore a bit as they have tons of crafts for all ages.
