Spring is just around the corner, and it's the season to take your homeschooling outdoors to enjoy the fresh air!  As your family discovers the buds and blooms of Spring, delve into a hands-on botany unit or study gardening.   It's a perfect time to start a nature notebook. Wouldn't it be fun to act like pioneers in the great outdoors, while sporting fun coon skin caps?  Then, gather for some quiet time in the shade of a favorite tree, travel back in history, and meet children who traveled the Oregon Trail.  Your family will be engaged and inspired!

Still too cold to go outside at your house?

Kidwords: 90 Nouns is a great resource for helping children learn the high-frequency words they need to know in order to become fluent readers.  We have plenty of other magnet sets to choose from as well.

Perhaps you're planning to study some new and exciting subjects, such as a foreign language, piano, or computer programming

And don't forget, this election year is the ideal opportunity to study our election process, the United States presidents, the history of the constitution and our form of government.  Plus, we just added 28 Fogware Publishing interactive software downloads for only $4.99 each. What a great way to bring history to life!

You're sure to find some great products to help you in your homeschool in our Schoolhouse Store where the shipping is always free.

DON'T FORGET, all 17 prizes go to one winner!

Our 30,000th customer is going to receive the 12 year subscription to The Old Schoolhouse Magazine, the $250 gift certificate from the Schoolhouse Store, and ALL of the gifts shown above!

So, don't miss out on your chance to be our 30,000th customer!
 
Blessings,
