Coming up in November 2011 {and my goal for the month}

If you’ve been wondering how you were going to teach science to your 7th – 12th grade children, Red Wagon Tutorials may be the answer for you! They offer online live-feed, online recorded, DVD and flash drive science classes. Visit the Red Wagon Tutorials website for more information.  

Newly revised and expanded, Educating the WholeHearted Child by Clay and Sally Clarkson is about much more than homeschooling; it is about life. It’s an approach that is based on sound biblical principles of nurture, discipleship, instruction, and learning ~ stay tuned for a giveaway of the book as well!

Time 4 Learning is a convenient, online homeschool curriculum that combines education with interactive fun for grades PreK-8th. Time4Learning offers each child their own learning path, with animated lessons, unit assessments, and integrated printable worksheets for reinforcement.

Maestro Classics produces a classical music CD series for children ages 5 to 12 {and their parents too!}. They introduce great music and classics stories to children, providing the opportunity to develop important listening skills.

Around the house we’re hoping to get some painting done. We have a super blah dining room that is sadly missing all of the homeschool paraphanelia, so I think that will be first on the ‘slap a color up on the walls’ list. That would require us to actually sit down and choose a color, however, so we’ll have to see how far we get on that task.

With the kids? Puzzles. We pulled out a stash of games and puzzles and this momma wants to just enjoy some quiet time in the afternoons/evenings with kids and focus on non-media related fun with the kids.

Sounds simple, no? It truly is…but that is all a good thing!
