Good afternoon, I thought I would post some blog sites that I have stubbled on. I have been tweeting on Twitter and found some fellow home school moms. I would like to share their sites with you. Here is an awesome English site, on this site, there is eight rules to english, diagraming sentences and why you should teach poetry. Another site that I stubbled on is for mom's teaching children with special needs it is called, home school calling. ADD, Autisim, and other needs should look at this site. I even think I could pull off of this site for my hands on kids. This next site is called Trivium pursuit, it is for families who are teaching classic home schooling through Christ. Great site with lots of helps and information. One last site and this one is more geared for mom's, This is called Home school Lounge. You have to sign up if you want more of the site and they will have to appove you. But it is a good site with lots of encouragment and information for you.

Wow, I have not been on this blog for some time. We have been so busy with school that I have had to put some of my hobbies on hold. We started school in July and we have been working straight through. I have stubbled onto some sights that I want to share and I know that they will come in handy.

On October 20th, there will be a green comet that you will be able to see with the naked eye. And a Home school group sent me this site. It is called Space weather, here is the site www.spaceweather.com. Another cool site is www.space.com. Jeff and I have Zune's and I wanted to listen to books on MP3. So here are some sites that you can down load books for free. Here is the link to go to the site. If you are on Twitter, there is a site you can go for grammar. There are test, information about 8 steps to language etc. It is a great resource.

For mom's with early reader, do not forget Starfall. This is a great website for kids, plenty of games and you can order books from their site. As always so many sites to choose from and I just enjoy the Internet and its benefits. I have not spent a lot of time on the Internet looking for different sites. I hope to sit down in a couple of weeks and do some more research. If you have a site that you would like me to look at, please leave me a message or comment.

One more piece of information, Kent Hovind's son has taken over the ministry and there are some awesome items on their website on creation. If you need curriculum or DVD's on creation here is the site www.drdino.com . God bless all of you and have a great week. Tanya

Christmas and Home schooling......

Well for the month of December, we tried to do some home school. I actually wanted to take the month off and work on a Christmas curriculum. We did really good and then Iowa got hit by a winter storm and the public school had days off and friends came by and I could not get the kids to concentrate. Oh well, I believe that we really got things done and the kids and I really enjoyed the things that we learned.




This is Luke and Melanie working on the Greek alphabet for Alpha and Omega. We also learned about the Christmas tree and St. Nicholas. I really stressed to the kids that if you look at every symbol of Christmas you will find Jesus. Example: the Christmas tree is in the shape of a triangle, look at three points of the tree, Father, Son and Holy Ghost. St. Nicholas represents the giving that we should do to each other. The greenery of Christmas is Eternal life we receive when we except Jesus and the white lights is for purity of Jesus.


We had fun and it really helped me to see Christmas in a different light. We have started back to school and then the kids got sick and more snow storms. I will be glad when spring comes our way. We have had a wonderful year. I have really enjoyed this year more than I have the past. We are one day away from a hundred days of school. I hope that all of you had a wonderful December and are getting back on track. Here is Melanie who just love Mario and Sonic. Luke is into Jeff Hardy and money. After a certain age they really do not ask for much, except money.

And here is the biggest kid I have. He is more a kids than our children. I love him so much, he is such a kidder. I hope to get some time to look at more websites to add to this one, but please keep using these awesome resources. It is awesome to be able to home school. There are so many resources on the web that you can use. I would not be able to Home school with out it. God bless all of you and I hope you have a wonderful week. From Tanya
