Just wanted to Share!
Well I hope everyone is having a blessed week. I just wanted to share with everyone some helpful sites I use.This site helped and still helps me with my younger children and getting them excited about homeschooling.The site www.childcareland.com I have even joined this wonderful womans yahoo group because I just think she has some very creative hands on ideas that we as homeschoolers may have tried before when first beginning our road to succesful homeschooling and at times as our households become multiple children households we may overlook those things we first used that actually worked.So she has all these wonderful ideas and printables as well.She also sells them on a disc for you to have and keep on file so that you can come back to it whenever you choose.It is wonderful and low cost. I personally love the file folder games ,my youngest has learned how to cut with scissors wonderfully because of these activities.She loves the idea of being able to complete a "project" like her older siblings.And if she so happen to mess up a lil we can simply reprint the page and have her do it over.Its wonderful. I would like to share another site I have come to love it as well it is www.learningtreasures.com .This site is such a simple site ,yet has some wonderful and helpful ideas and projects that can be used for various subjects.My kids loved the science section of this site.They absolutely loved the homemade bubbles.They had so much fun we had to make the gallon version to share at a family BBQ.They love to do things like that as you can tell with our homemade claydough.And for those of us who love our local homeschool shops in PA check out my favorite store.It is the Homeschool Junction found in the Mount Joy area and well worth the ride in your in PA.The site is www.homeschooljunction.com I love this store.We purchased all of our homeschool curriculum from them last year as well as most of our supplemental material too.They sell both second hand and new items.Although I must say alot of the used stuff is in perfect condition at times.We got all of our Abeka curriculum in tack last year and are going back for more this year. It is much cheaper to purchase the curriculum for us from the Junction then from the publishers.So I hope this helps some homeschooling moms on a budget like me.And I will be sharing more to come as we continue this years homeschool adventure.Blessings and Shalom!
