   This is the best one! Don't miss this one whatever you do!!! This is a HUGE ebook giveaway that they do every year. There are TONS of great ebooks for FREE!!! (really, free, no strings, I promise!)

   Two hints on this one are check through the list first and make a note of which ones you think you want. There are usually so many that it gets confusing after awhile. LOL! The second hint is to do this one first thing in the morning. This is a MUST! Every year this site seizes up and crashes due to the massive volume of downloads that day. We get the advantage of being able to do our downloads before most of the states has woken up. (See, sometimes the distance is an advantage!)

   So mark your calendars to hit this site first thing on Saturday morning and get a load of free resources before the site gets busy - and best of all they are all FREE!!!!  -Deedee

PS-10AM CST is 4pm our time in the UK. So this sale is running from 4pm Friday till 4pm on Saturday.

Instructions or Example?  When we are teaching our children what is more effective? Our Instruction or our Example?

I have just heard about this project on a home ed yahoo group which has been operational for at least a couple of years.  It is called Potatoes for Schools. Although the material goes on about schools, several home educating families have been involved in the last few years.  I have just registered with no problem.  The registration deadline is Friday 5th Feb 2010.

The site says:

Potatoes for Schools offers a valuable learning experience where you can find out where potatoes come from, how they grow, what you can do with them and how they can make primary learning an exciting experience.

 Here are the details of TOS's Schoolhouse Store's Black Friday Sale!

I’ve had several pages open in my browser for the last little while waiting to share them with you.  Since I have to shut down my computer for a while now seems like a good time to post them.

I love the idea of these Narration bookmarks.  These prompts help the children to think as they are reading.  Most of my children are sharing their narrations in their reading journals these days, but they go through seasons of needing prompts.  This post was listed in the Charlotte Mason Blog Carnival – if you haven’t read it yet – there’s plenty to read!

I love this list of what a true friend is like – as per scripture.  These are good scriptures to remember for anyone – not just us ladies!

Not sure how I came across this site though it has been open for a week or so – neoK12 – Educational videos and lessons for k-12 school kids.  This will be a handy link to keep!

I’ve printed this off to keep in my Bible study folder.  Not sure when I’ll get to this study but I’d like to do it myself or help my older ones to do it as their Bible Study.  Getting to know God through His Names and Titles.  I like the list in that it is just some prompts/scriptures – you have to do the thinking and applying.

Also need to be  more diligent with Scripture Memorisation with my younger two – not sure how I’m going to do this yet, but with AmblesideOnline’s list and this one I think we’ll have enough to work with.
