I've been tagged!

I happened to read Stef's blog this morning and she said any of her readers could consider themselves tagged.  So here goes:

1) ONE HOMESCHOOLING BOOK YOU HAVE ENJOYED

Pretty much everything by Cynthia Ulrich Tobias.  The most recent title of hers that I read wasn't directly related to homeschooling, but was very interesting: I Hate School.

(Gotta love the title.  LOL)

 

2) ONE RESOURCE YOU WOULDN'T BE WITHOUT

My computer in general - and my Homeschool Tracker specifically.

"Homeschool

 

3) ONE RESOURCE YOU WISH YOU HAD NEVER BOUGHT

I have a Bible curriculum that I probably shouldn't have purchased.  Don't get me wrong, it's great stuff, but we just haven't ever got around to using it!  I'd say the same about The Story of the World.  By the time I acquired a copy of it, we were partway through a self-developed history course, and I didn't want to change gears.  So I have this marvellous book that I have never used.  Someday I'll find a nice home for it.

 

 

4) ONE RESOURCE YOU ENJOYED LAST YEAR

MasterBooks Exploring the World of Chemistry  and Exploring the History of Medicine.  My kids ASKED to study from these books, and generally cheered when I said "okay, we're going to do the next chapter in the medicine book" 

 

5) ONE RESOURCE YOU WILL BE USING NEXT YEAR

Apologia Science

 

6) ONE RESOURCE YOU WOULD LIKE TO BUY

A second computer!

 

7) ONE RESOURCE YOU WISH EXISTED

As much as I like Stef's idea of an "art teacher in a box" I think I'd like a housekeeper in a box.  That way I could teach all day without concerning myself about things like dishes, laundry, and dusting.

 

8) ONE HOMESCHOOLING CATALOGUE YOU ENJOY READING

Truthfully, I have learned to not tempt myself.  LOL  But I do look at the Answers in Genesis online store and dream quite often.  And I always carefully browse through the Christian Book Distributors homeschool catalogs.

 

9) ONE HOMESCHOOLING WEBSITE YOU USE REGULARLY

Wow, I have a bunch.  This year I plan to use Mr Donn's and Mrs Donn's websites again for History (really nice ancient history stuff - just ignore the pages about cavemen! LOL)  I refer my oldest ds to PurpleMath when he is having trouble with algebra and my explanations don't help.  I just have a really long list of sites in my Homeschool Bookmark list!

 

10) TAG FIVE OTHER HOMESCHOOLERS

I'll use Stef's approach here: If you feel like being tagged, consider yourself tagged!
