Homeschooling With Encouragement

About SoCalVal

Welcome to my little corner of the beach in Southern California. I am married to one amazing man who loves me with a heart of Christ and who has blessed me to be a stay-at-home homeschool mom of three wonderful blessings. My heart is for homeschool ministry and helping others through encouragement. I've been homeschooling since the beginning and love it more and more every day.

I began my journey in homeschooling based on Bible scriptures found in Deuteronomy chapter 6:6-12 Homeschooling With Encouragement is dedicated to encourage the homeschool mom. I am the owner of a Yahoo group, monthly newsletter, two homeschool blogs, and the Weblink Education website.

Please take your time and thumb through my past postings as well as the Ministry links sponsored on this blog.

Weblink Wednesday

Posted in Weblink Wednesday

Welcome to Weblink Wednesday hosted here EVERY week.

How did Weblink Wednesday begin? Well, last year some time I got to thinking that there are so many great educational links out in Internet-land that there had to be a way for all of us to share them with one another. So, with a little help from some friends, I found Mr.Linky. The rest is history.

So, mark your calendars every Wednesday for this wonderful event!!! Everyone is welcomed ~ If you have never participated in Weblink Wednesday before, I will explain how it works. It's very easy...

If you have a blog...

Find a website that you find very helpful, enjoyable and inspiring to your homeschool adventure.
Write a post about it on your blog - post it - copy the link to your blog page and come back to me.
Scroll down to the end of this post where you see the sign "Mr. Linky" - Click on it
Enter your first name and paste your link that you copied from your blog in the appropriate area
Hit enter and you're done.
Be sure to leave me a message telling me that you posted a link

If you do not have a blog...

Find a website that you find very helpful, enjoyable, and inspiring to you
Scroll down to the end of this post where you see the sign "Mr. Linky" - click on it
Enter your first name and paste that wonderful web address in the box requested.
Hit enter and you're done
Be sure to leave me a message telling me that you posted something on Mr. Linky

***Be sure to leave a comment on every blog you visit...
----------------------------------------------------------

The weblink I would like to share today is a new one to me. A wonderful homeschool mom brought it to my attention this past week and I am excited to try it out. It's called World Book's Parent Resource Center. This weblink has to do with having a scope in sequence - a typical course of study to follow. World book offers the results of ongoing reserach into curriculum requirements and standards. You can find anything from preschool levels all the way up to 12th grade.
