Hi, group! I am sending this out way earlier than usual, I know. But I will not be able to send it tomorrow due to being very busy with other concerns.
Last week I asked what you had planned to do for the summer. We will be homeschooling plus doing other activities. Just thought you might like to know what one of the other members is doing. As usual, I won't reveal anyone's identification. But here is what she sent me:
"We are off school for now, the kids left for church camp this morning and won't be home til Friday. Then on Thursday of the following week, we leave for our cross-country trip. We will start school again when we get home in mid-July, but then I'll be adding two extra kids for the rest of the summer. Don't know if my mother has told them they will be doing someschool work at my house yet or not, but I guess they'll find it out soon enuf! We are gonna see quite a bit of the country in the next four weeks and meet lots of friends and put lots of miles in the car! Well, that's it from NM"
So let's hear from some of the rest of you! What will your summer be like?
I have put a new page in my website. It's called Homeschool Zoo Newsletter Archives. I don't have all the old ones, but I do have a lot of them. They will be listed by date so you can browse through them.
Ok, on to the few links I have searched out for this week! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Knowledge Adventure Features for Kids. Kids' encyclopedia site.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Christianbook.com--Christian books, music, and more for less! You can get homeschool packaged curriculum here for less than anyplace else I have seen so far.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Evan-Moor Educational Publishers. This site has some free downloadable activities for grades k-6. Sorry WebTV. These are in PDF format. You can also order other books and activities at reduced prices.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Really neat site full of crafts to keep the kids busy for hours. Most are very inexpensive to make. Many use recycled items.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Well, that's it for this week. Hope you all are having a great summer! Happy Homeschooling!
