The Old Schoolhouse® Magazine is gearing up for our very first video contest! And guess where we are hosting it? Right on Facebook in our very own group. We are very excited because the contest is just a small preview of our newest WannaBe™ Series of E-Books which debut in the Schoolhouse Store June 2nd, 2009.
To kick off this wonderful event, we want your future firemen or firewomen to give us their very best siren sounds on video! Allow the creative juices to flow! They can dress up or make it as elaborate or as simple as they would like . . . as long as we get those lovely siren sounds!
Here is what you need to do to enter this video contest:
The contest is being held on our group page, I Wanna Be. Join this group so that your video can be uploaded here.
From May 20-May 24, video your child (or children), and then upload your video in the video section of the group.
Voting will take place from May 25 through May 28. Voting will be done by the members of the group. You will be using the thumbs-up method. The video with the most thumbs-up will be the winner.
The winner will be announced on May 29, 2009.
The winner will receive an Erector Jr. Build and Play fire truck from Timberdoodle!
Erector Build & Play Fire Truck Timberdoodle's biggest set, this delightful kit stands alone or fully integrates with the other Erector Bucket kits. Build a large, colorful fire truck and five other models. Includes complete, detailed instructions for each of the six models and 184 parts. Two tools are included to put together the models. Only one toy may be built at a time.
So stop what you are doing, grab your video camera, and get those girls and boys ready to give us their very best siren sound! Remember that you have to be a part of Facebook in order to upload your video.
Our Facebook Fan page has many encouraging tips as well as great discussions with other seasoned homeschoolers!
Remember that in order to upload your video, you have to join the group I Wanna Be!
We are so excited and can't wait to see all those videos!
Wanna learn more about some of the more popular homeschool vendors?
If you are looking for some encouragement, you can also join our group, Homeschooling with Heart. Right now we have ongoing discussions about testing, homeschool conferences, workboxes, and more! In fact, we are in the process of setting up interviews with different homeschool vendors so that you can ask those questions that you have always wanted to know the answer to! Come on over and join the conversation!
Research . . . Learn . . . Enter to Win!
We had such a great response with Schoolhouse Smarties for April that we have decided to extend it through May! This contest is open to all ages. Three days a week we post three questions--one question in each of three age categories.
Check out the question of the day posted on Homeschoolblogger. Then send in your answers! If you're correct, you'll be entered to win a gift certificate to the Schoolhouse Store. It's that easy.
Plus, Schoolhouse Smarties is great way to help your child develop research skills while uncovering some interesting facts.
Join us for:
Math Monday: Various links to math stumper sites according to age.
Word Wednesday: Bible quiz question.
Freestyle Friday: It's a surprise! The topic will either be a brain teaser, history-related, or science-related.
