TOS Freebie Friday!!

Welcome to Freebie Fridays


Could your kitchen use a good deep cleaning?  This week we have a neat TOS exclusive freebie that will get your kitchen sparkling in time for the upcoming holidays. Marmee Dear is graciously offering her E-Book: Kitchen Sparkle The Home Maker's Mentor Lesson for FREE!  In this E-Book, you will find step by step lessons on how to get your kitchen to sparkle! It will feel like you have an expert right there holding your hand through the whole deep cleaning process!  Be sure to get this freebie during the month of October, in November it goes back on sale to its regular price.

Owl & Mouse is a website with free software for learning letters of the alphabet, phonics and letter sounds, and learning to read.  They also have online U.S. maps, world maps, maps of Europe, puzzle maps of the U.S., Europe, Africa, Asia and much more. You will also find free printables to build a medieval castle, a farm, a village and a coat of arms - it's all free!

Want to put some music into your science studies? HERE is a great site with almost 100 free science songs!  The topics include space, energy and motion, experiments, weather, and nature. I also found a fun way to help kids learn the names of all the elements.  Check out this fun video!

The Old Schoolhouse is looking for a few good one-room schoolhouse photos to grace the magazine's cover. Not sure if a one-room schoolhouse is located near you? Check out the One-Room Schoolhouse Center. It's a working list of existing one-room schoolhouses in the U.S.  If your photograph is used, you will be paid $50, your name will be featured as the photographer and you will be sent two copies of the magazine. You can get all the details HERE.

I'll see you next week right here at - Freebie Fridays!

Happy Homeschooling,

Biblestudio.com is a great site that is packed with research resources.  This site includes the Bible in a dozen different translations.  It also has a Bible Atlas and Bible Dictionary.  My favorite part of this site is the ability to search photos, illustrations, paintings and maps by topic, Bible reference, word or phrase!
