The Carnival of Homeschooling
8:11 AM, Apr. 11, 2006
The 15th Carnival of Homeschooling is being hosted by our very own Tami of the PRMama Team.
If you aren't familiar with blogging carnivals, it is a compilation of blog entries submitted by various bloggers centered on a theme (like homeschooling). Each week when a new carnival is posted, the host posts information on how to contribute to the next one. Anyone can join in the fun. Participating in the carnival is a great way to hear what other homeschoolers are blogging about and increase traffic to your own blog.
While the carnival isn't the place to advertise your product, it is a great way to share information about what is near and dear to your heart. Take a look at how a few vendors participated this time!
Laurie Bluedorn of Trivium Pursuit shares her favorite books to read aloud. She shares how they started reading aloud and a list of some of their favorite books.
Dena Wood of Dena's Deliberations talks about her son and how delayed learning can promote success and instill confidence.
Next, Jennie of Creative Homeschooling will share a fun, hands-on activity to do with your early reader that includes sticky notes.
And we have a first-ever entry in the Carnival this week from the Davises of HomeschoolBuzz.com. Kathy lists "10 Things to do for Homeschool Sick Days."
A great article to follow the CM philosophy is this article by Barbara of The Imperfect Homeschooler. She asks, "Who does it really help when we say children must learn to read or do math by a certain age? Certainly not the child!"
Karen, the Queen of Carrots, and the writer of Introducing the World shares her perspective on as a former high school teacher, and what she loves about homeschooling to prepare her future students, so they are ready to tackle the things she wants to teach.
I think you'll enjoy visiting the blogs in the Carnival of Homeschooling and joining in too. It's just another great way to market yourself to homeschoolers for free.
