Hey, everybody!
I wanted to remind you that I've moved over to blogger in case you're still looking for me here. :) Come visit me and change your links and blog readers to http://thesakeofthecall.blogspot.com/ Thanks!
Also, as I still check back in and read through the Friends' page from time to time, I wonder if I could ask a favor. I don't know if you've noticed or not, but when you're reading through the Friend's page entries, you don't always know whose blog posts you're reading. The titles don't link back to the original posts, and there isn't even a note that says, "EEEEMommy wrote..." Sometimes I can figure out who wrote something, sometimes they post pictures and I recognize them, and other times I'm just scratching my head wondering whose blog post I'm reading. Take today for example, who wrote "Girl Time On Good Friday?" I'd like to comment, but I kinda want to know whose blog I'm commenting on before I do.
I've figured out how to figure it out (click post comment, click cancel, and you'll be at the original blog page), but the best solution to this issue (unless HSB changes things, which I requested that they do awhile ago) is that you utilize a signature and sign every post. I'll confess that I'm not very consistent in this myself, but it really helps when you're reading from the Friends page. If you've seen people with cool signatures, the might have gotten them free at My Live Signature, but just signing your name at the bottom is helpful. Thanks!
In case you haven't heard, JenIg has another fabulous contest going on. Here's the info!
Rosetta Stone has been the #1 foreign language curriculum among homeschoolers for a while -- next week they are unleashing a brand new curriculum, and you can WIN the *all new* Rosetta Stone Homeschool Version 3… FOR FREE!
This is a $219 program (and believe me it's worth every penny!) and the winner gets to pick from any of these 14 languages: Spanish (Spain or Latin America), English (American or British), Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Irish, Hebrew, or Russian.
This will also include a headset with microphone, and students will participate in lifelike conversations and actually produce language to advance through the program. Rosetta Stone still incorporates listening, reading and writing as well, in addition to speaking. Many homeschoolers requested grammar and vocabulary exercises, and with Rosetta Stone Homeschool Version 3, they're included! For parents, the new Parent Administrative Tools are integrated into the program and allow parents to easily enroll students in any of 12 predetermined lesson plans, monitor student progress, and view and print reports.
To win this most excellent program -- in the language of your choice -- copy these (blue) paragraphs and post it in (or as) your next blog post -- then to enter the contest, go to the original contest page HERE: http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/JenIG/501132/ and leave a comment with the link showing where you blogged about it. And please make sure the link works to get back to the original contest page when you post it. And good luck! The winner will be picked randomly on March 26, and will be notified thru the link they left to their blog pg. And if you have more than one blog, you can post them and enter those separately for more chances to win. Yay for free stuff!
Grace and Peace,
Angel (EEEEMommy) :) |
