TAG: What's One Thing...

11:44 PM, Aug. 30, 2006 .. Posted in The Blue Engine Schoolhouse .. 0 comments .. Link

I actually got tagged by name (thanks, Angela!).  Here are my answers:

 

1) ONE HOMESCHOOLING BOOK YOU HAVE ENJOYED
Just one... this is tough because I'm a curriculum junkie (ex-addict, in recovery *laugh*). 


2) ONE RESOURCE YOU WOULDN'T BE WITHOUT
God (when I am without Him, it's not a pretty sight!). 

 

Beyond that, my library card.  My children love to read (or be read to) and they learn far more just from reading everything they can get their hands on than I could ever try to teach them.


3) ONE RESOURCE YOU WISH YOU HAD NEVER BOUGHT
The Story of the World.  I like all the Well-Trained Mind stuff... except that.  I couldn't make my son do it; I yawned through it.  (The activity book wasn't bad, though.)


4) ONE RESOURCE YOU ENJOYED LAST YEAR
 Actually, I'm going to echo Angela on this one.  HSB has been a huge resource.  One of my first posts here was to announce I was quitting and sending my rambunctious six-year-old to PS.  I was talked out of it by more than one person (the start of many a good friendship!)  I continue to treasure the insight, resources, and inspiration I get from everyone here.

 

5) ONE RESOURCE YOU WILL BE USING THIS YEAR
I'm going back to using my brain, combined with the vast resources of the Internet, to create half of our studies.  I haven't grown brave enough yet to try math or science on my own, but everything else is working out, bit by bit.


6) ONE RESOURCE YOU WOULD LIKE TO BUY
A piano.  But I'm learning to be thankful for our keyboard!


7) ONE RESOURCE YOU WISH EXISTED
A no-no alarm, so that every time I get wooed by the "ultimate curriculum," a "wonderful enrichment activity" or the next "big thing in homeschooling," I would just say no.  No.  NO.


8) ONE HOMESCHOOLING CATALOGUE YOU ENJOY READING
I love Vision Forum.  I adore it.  I... well, you get the idea.  I'm saving up for it, but I'm not allowed to read the catalogue right now  (see #7).


9) ONE HOMESCHOOLING WEBSITE YOU USE REGULARLY
Just one??   I  love Starfall.com.  I will recommend it to anyone with a pre- or emergent reader as the best reading resource ever. :)



10) TAG FIVE OTHER HOMESCHOOLERS

(If you've already done it, you're off the hook... but so am I *laugh*)

 

* Eyecorn: I love reading your ideas

* TC: I'm not so much interested in what you writes, as how you write it. ;)

* Trish (tallenmomof5): After all, if we're just reading each other's minds...

* JennLovesJesus: I haven't read much new from you lately

* Someone who random blogs in here and has never posted to me before

 

You're it!
