June 21, 2008 - Online Freebies! Homeschool Launch & Homeschool Catalogs

Homeschool Launch has loads of great files created by other homeschool moms just like you! More and more moms are joining and sharing their skills with others. I invite you to browse the files and consider sharing some things you've made with the homeschool community!

Notebooking pages are especially abundant there. (Ever wondered how to make your own notebooking pages? I've just finished a tutorial for that very thing, using MS Publisher.)

For example, I recently uploaded a file I made for my daughter. We use the Wordly Wise vocabulary workbooks, but I found that she was encountering spelling errors as she looked back a page or two to copy the new word. I simply typed all the words into a word document and printed it out for her reference. A few moments invested like this at the beginning of the year make for a much easier experience later. I uploaded the Wordly Wise C word list to HS Launch since there may be others who could benefit from this type of document. Why redo it if someone has already done the work? My page with all my uploaded files is here.

And another freebie --catalogs! Anyone still looking for curriculum? Or if you're like me, you're a chronic curriculum browser, always on the prowl for the latest new title or project idea. When I went to USA last fall, one of my preparations was to order a lot of HS catalogs to be ready for me once I got there. I passed many an hour in the car reading through book descriptions in these catalogs. I've listed my favorites on a new Squidoo lens Homeschool Catalogs. The links will take you directly to the catalog request pages for my favorite ones. If you have favorites I didn't list, please feel free to comment there with your addition.

Has it been awhile, or what!

I like how you find something that works great in your house, then you share it with us. That's awesome homeschool networking there!

I can't pick which Chinese translation is my favorite---maybe the "Care to slip?"
