Schoolhouse Library

The Old Schoolhouse has long been a trusted friend of the homeschooler and the homeschool community. Their previously monthly printed, now digital and yearly printed, magazine has been a major help and source of encouragement to so many homeschoolers.

More recently they have launch the SchoolhouseTeachers.com website which is such a wealth of ressource ranging every possible school subjects right at your finger tip, or more accurately, right at a click of a mouse. I personally have benefited greatly from this ressource and would encourage you to check it out.

Now, they have come up with a brand new ressource for homeschoolers, or any student and parent for that matter, The Schoolhouse Library.

This new site is filled with over 175 e-books or audio books for encouragement and support from a variety of publishers. These include:

2 Study Guides from YWAM
Draw Write Now Sampler E-Book by Barker Creek
Heroines of the Past-Victorian unit study from Amy Puetz
Map Trek: Atlas and Outline Maps of World History from Knowledge Quest
Teaching Writing E-Book from WriteShop
15 audio E-Books from My Audio School in history and literature
A Glimpse at Carnivorous Plants Lapbook from In the Hands of a Child
Video from Jessica Hulcy on “Learning as a Family”
From Frazzled to Focused: 7 Planning Tools for Busy Moms from Mary Jo Tate

This ressource would be suitable for all ages and all stages of homeschooling. Weather brand new at homeschooling or a veteran, you will find something useful or encouraging there. Topics include a wide range of school subjects as well as topics on organization, special needs and many more.

How much? Get it all for a one-time cost of $25

So come on over and check the brand new Schoolhouse Library out.

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...
