First, I just want to say that I love The Old School House Magazine! It is full of supportive articles and ideas one can use in their homeschool days. I especially enjoy the unit study ideas, the readers comments, and the helpful and informative articles! My boys love the "How to draw" section. It is one of the few magazines that I read cover to cover and one that I always ask to be returned to me when I lone it out so I can file it and have it for future reference. Now about the contest: The Old Schoolhouse Magazine's Spring Promo is in full bloom. They are also giving away a $150 gift certificate to the Schoolhouse Store. All print subscribers (new or renewing) between April 3 - 30, 2008 will be automatically entered into a drawing. No purchase neccessary to win. To enter without subscribing, please send a postcard with your name, address, telephone number, and email address to:

I have been meaning to start my boys in learning a forgien language but have been having difficulty deciding what to teach them. I know exactly what curriculum I would use when I finally decide on the lanugage, though. It'll be Rosetta Stone! I have heard so many wonderful things about the curriculum and I love that it emerses the children in the language! Here is the contest info from JenIg's blog: Rosetta Stone has been the #1 foreign language curriculum among homeschoolers for a while -- next week they are unleashing a brand new curriculum, and you can WIN the *all new* Rosetta Stone Homeschool Version 3… FOR FREE! This is a $219 program (and believe me it's worth every penny!) and the winner gets to pick from any of these 14 languages: Spanish (Spain or Latin America), English (American or British), Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Irish, Hebrew, or Russian. This will also include a headset with microphone, and students will participate in lifelike conversations and actually produce language to advance through the program. Rosetta Stone still incorporates listening, reading and writing as well, in addition to speaking. Many homeschoolers requested grammar and vocabulary exercises, and with Rosetta Stone Homeschool Version 3, they're included! For parents, the new Parent Administrative Tools are integrated into the program and allow parents to easily enroll students in any of 12 predetermined lesson plans, monitor student progress, and view and print reports.
To win this most excellent program -- in the language of your choice -- copy these (blue) paragraphs and post it in (or as) your next blog post -- then to enter the contest, go to the original contest page HERE: http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/JenIG/501132/ and leave a comment with the link showing where you blogged about it. And please make sure the link works to get back to the original contest page when you post it. And good luck! The winner will be picked randomly on March 26, and will be notified thru the link they left to their blog pg. And if you have more than one blog, you can post them and enter those separately for more chances to win. Yay for free stuff! |
Anyway, I am entering the contest from JenIg's blog.
