Back to School Meme...
Blestwithsons has gotten me... Here is a back to school Meme just for you!!!
1) ONE HOMESCHOOLING BOOK YOU HAVE ENJOYED
This is the first book I read when we decided to start thinking about the education of our firstborn. He was about 2 years old at the time. It truly is a MUST READ!!!
This is the book I keep on hand to guide me through each school year. We are a Charlotte Mason family and it is full of great advice and information if you choose to travel this path.
2) ONE RESOURCE YOU WOULDN'T BE WITHOUT
My laptop computer!!! I keep everything on it from schedules, links and calendars to lesson plans and curriculum information. I would have stacks and stacks of paper all over the house if I did not have this thing!!!!!
3) ONE RESOURCE YOU WISH YOU HAD NEVER BOUGHT
The big books at Sam's for math... They were not difficult enough for the children and not as comprehensive and thorough as Saxon Math. We have gone back to Saxon fulltime!!!
4) ONE RESOURCE YOU ENJOYED LAST YEAR
As a Charlotte Mason family we use lots of real books. We have a small library in our home and we are always adding to it. Our favorite time of day is when we sit and I read aloud to the children from these books. So, our most enjoyed resource EVERY YEAR is our read aloud time from our treasured little library of classics and great literature on our little couches in the living room.
5) ONE RESOURCE YOU WILL BE USING THIS YEAR
We just bought a computer CD-ROM of the Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary & Thesaurus Electronic Edition. We are putting it on all the computers in our home and the children will be using it this year - especially JoNathan.
6) ONE RESOURCE YOU WOULD LIKE TO BUY
The Sugar Creek Gang books, audio books and videos!!!
7) ONE RESOURCE YOU WISH EXISTED
A daytimer that held me much more accountable!!!! LOL
8) ONE HOMESCHOOLING CATALOGUE YOU ENJOY READING
Christian Books CBD catalogue (the most comprehensive)
9) ONE HOMESCHOOLING WEBSITE YOU USE REGULARLY
Simply Charlotte Mason (pretty new site but getting better all the time)
10) TAG FIVE OTHER HOMESCHOOLERS
Ummm...
Carolyn (Guiltfree Homeschooling)

***So sorry.... for the extra tag... I should have looked further into your blog and I would have clearly seen you did it already. I loved your answers... I"m with Perri... My answers were pretty lame too. I was trying to be ever so careful who I tagged that they hadn't been tagged too recently.... Have a blessed day!
