I hit the best homeschool find of the year!  A 2-dollar per BAG book sale!  I got about a dozen books for myself, but about another 100 for the kids!  All for EIGHT little dollars.  You just have to love a great deal, right?

Now, I won't list everything because I don't want to bore you to tears, but I am going to list some of my really great homeschooling finds!  Books that you Charlotte Mason moms, Five in a Row moms, and lovers of Caldecott Award-winning book moms will recognize.

My most surprising find was an old hardcover copy of Plutarch.  This is a listed book on Ambleside's curriculum.  This book alone, plus shipping, would have been more than everything I got!

I also found Robert McCloskey's Lentil in hardcover, as well as his One_Morning_In-Maine, and Burt-Dow-Deep-Water-Man.  All of these were on my Amazon wish list!

I found both In_Woods_and_Fields and In_Ponds_and_Streams by Margaret Waring Buck, Arnold Lobel's Fables, Nathaniel Hawthorne's The_Golden_Touch,  and the cutest book called The_American_Girls_Handy_Book.

I got so many science books, history books on the native americans and pilgrims and early America (what we are studying this year) and books on Martha Washington, George Washington, and Abraham Lincoln.   We found at least a dozen easy readers for Emme to read aloud, and several collections for me to read aloud to her.

I found a beautiful 1950's hardcover of 100_Bible_Stories,  an equally lovely book of Christmas stories from 1934,  and my absolute favorite to look at (A true bibliomane loves the way books look, feel, smell, etc!)  is a small, gray vintage looking book of plays.  It will look lovely on my armoire surrounded by antiques!

This is just a small smattering of what I got!  For myself I found about 10 classics I have never read, historical fiction from Jeane Plaidy, Victoria Holt,  Anya Seton and several others to overfill my bookshelves.

On top of all the books, our day was busy and physically demanding.  We've been working in the yard, putting in gardens, cutting weeds, putting in mulch, trimming bushes, and watching the wonderful birds who visit our feeders daily.   It's been so fun to learn some new types of birds! 

I hope you are all well and blessed!  May your homeschool days be full of love and learning,
