Some more interesting sites

In the past few days and weeks I have come across a few interesting sites that some of you might like and find useful. Here they are:

www.mrdonn.org

This is a site where you can find a whole lot of free posters, games, lessons and more on a wide variety of subjects. Check especially the free for kids/teachers section.

www.faithfamilyhomeschool.com

This is a site or actually a blog where the owner list freebies that she has found, and continues to find, that can be very useful for homeschoolers. She has quite a collection of interesting sites that offer free downloads. Worth checking out.

www.livingonadime.com

This is a site that offers nice articles on subjects like money saving and management, recipes, housekeeping and organizing. Be sure to check their blog as they give a few good tips and free stuff as well. They also offer some e-book . You can check them out here

Still on the subject of freebies, I had previously posted about a freebie site called Homeschool freebie of the day where you can get a freebie everyday. Well, this week line up sounds pretty good: money management guide, kids' recipes, a classic story book of manners, an e-book on birthday parties and a Benjamin Franklin's classic essay for young people in Audio form.

I hope you find these links useful. Let me know what you think.

Our Current Homeschool Routine - Virtual Homeschool Fair - Week 2

For week 2 of the Virtual Homeschool Fair, which is hosted by Homeschooling Hearts and Minds , we are talking method of homeschooling. When it comes to the how of homeschooling, and the method that we all follow, with the 20 plus blogger participating I can guarantee you, no method will be the same. Homeschooling is a lifestyle and a path unto a goal or toward a direction that each family sets for itself. For us, this encompasses academic rigor, as well as Christian values and depth of understanding of how to live in this world as Christians. To that end, earlier on we had settled on a classical education. 10 years into it, I cannot say we have been very good classical homeshooler.

I had good intentions with the Latin and Greek, but not enough discipline and it did not appeal to the boys; my oldest son did two years, the...

Writing & Rhetoric - A Writing Curriculum Review and a Giveaway

Curriculum choosing and buying can be a very daunting task. So many subjects to cover, so many curriculum to browse though, and so many companies to consider. Today I would like to share with you a product and a company that I have come to hold in high regards. When it comes to teaching writing to the boys I was not sure which way to go, as I would not exactly consider myself a great writer. Then came along Writing and Rhetoric from Classical Academic Press. I heard about it when the second book in a series of twelve just released, and I was immediately intrigued. You see I homeschool classically, and writing is an integral part of it. Classical Academic Press puts out products geared towards classical homeschooling, so there you had the first common ground. I was searching for something that would teach them what writing was, and guide them through the process incrementally, without bombarding them with pages and pages of writing right from the start. I found what...

Happy New Year to all! After a two year hiatus, I am resurrecting this blog. Life has been such that keeping up with this blog had become a really low priority, but I kind of miss it, so here I am giving it a try again.

With a 14 year old (9th grade) and a 16 year old (11th grade) I really feel like time is sleeping away; but that is the reality of life. We are but a vapor...
