I'll try to get this link added to my own website soon, but I changed computers quite awhile ago and my IT guy (i.e. my husband) hasn't loaded the website editing software yet. LOL! 

Anyway, I'm not sure who shared this website with me, but it has a lot of really exciting links to educational games.  These are very sophisticated, interactive games designed primarily for non-profit organizations such as museums and schools.

Check it out:  Eduweb

My son has an interest and is bored this evening so I did a little looking around and found:

A gemstone coloring page at Crayola.com and a wealth of resources at the Mining Information Institute website.  I am planning to use these copywork pages over the next few weeks as well. 

I also used this resource from abcteach.  If you need more materials, just do a search using "Earth layers worksheet" and "rocks and minerals worksheet."

Happy rock hunting!

I found this while looking for reading comprehension resources:

If you go to learnatest.com there are a variety of subject areas, some applicable to a high school student some for career such as real estate.

This site provides review worksheets for stories from both the Old and New Testament.

I am using several of these printouts for our Lenten studies:

I just found this site today and will be using some of these scripts for our home studies during the Lenten season:

I hope you have a blessed season!

Sponsored by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology this website invites kids in cities to learn more about the birds in their neighborhood.  Registrants receive free resources including a bird identification poster.  Be sure to check the resources page on the website for some beautiful photos of selected birds. 

The Great Sunflower Project

Sign up to receive free seeds and plant sunflowers in your garden.  Then observe the bees that come to visit and report back to the project.  What a fun summer science project!

I've got these on the "list" to add to my website, but didn't want anyone to miss out. 

This website is relatively new, though many of you may have had the opportunity to join already.  The site is offering a new opportunity to subscribe 1 month at a time for just $5 right now.  So if you were thinking of giving it a try but didn't want to commit for a full year- now's your chance.  Also the site offers several free trial downloads.  

I received a free membership as part of a promotional campaign a few months ago and am enjoying watching the site grow.  The latest benefit for members is a set of 26 Word Family printables that can be made into little books.  These will be sent out one per week to members starting soon.  :-)

Homeschool Teacher Book Bag

Just what you always wanted- an 18-page coloring book about germs. LOL!  But I found one.  There's a bit of a promotional slant in favor of chlorine since it's produced by an chemical association. Buy hey, it's free!

I just found out about this via one of the homeschool boards I frequent:

I *thought* registration ended tomorrow, but you can still sign up through March- you will just get your seeds later (I think?)  Anyway, check it out.
