Back to School Blog Hop - Helpful Resources Part 1

Back to Homeschool Blog Hop
On day two and three of the Back To School Blog Hop I would like to share with you some of my top educational sources and resources.

This is our 7th year of homeschooling and I can tell you that I have come across a lot of resources. I also gone back and forth from one resource to another as my kids grew. That said, there are some resources that remain places that I consistently use in my homeschool, and I would like to share them with you.

1. Currclick. Make sure to look for their free stuff and watch out for the sales!

2. Homeschoolshare

3. Enchanted Learning. This is a member site but you can find group buys that can allow you to get a membership for a really good price.

4. Pinterest. I search about everything in there

Follow Joelle's board Homeschool links on Pinterest.


5. My Facebook Groups. There are some really great Facebook groups out there, especially the ones for specific curriculum and the free resource ones. Again, use the search button to look for the ones that might be of help to you.

6. The Homeschool Curriculum Choice

7. You Tube. The search button is really helpful.

8. BBC school. I love this resource because they often have nice games and videos on some of the topics that we happen to be studying.

9. Book Adventure. I love using this site to gauge my boys' comprehension of some of the books they read.

10. The Library. I cannot stress how much I use my library. This is my number one  resource. It is packed with resources, and it is free. What else can I ask?

Come back tomorrow for more ressources.

 Don't forget to check others on the crew who are also blogging about Back to School this week.

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...
