Kids wait for their favorite magazines to come in the mail and will often devour them cover to cover.
President Lyndon Johnson proclaimed Waterloo the birthplace of Memorial Day in 1966, 100 years after the first commemoration. Every May 30, townspeople still walk to the cemeteries and hold memorial services.
The 2013 and 2014 Printable Coloring Calendars are up and ready for your use. As a special gift to grandparents, one homeschooling family printed the calendars, had the children color them, and then personalized the calendars with birth dates. I love the idea!

I attended the graduation ceremony for our homeschool group last year. It was held at the monthly park day. The park has a very nice amphitheater with a stage for the passing out the diplomas. We had kindergarten, 6th grade and 8th grade graduates. Parents, friends and grandparents came to make it a special day. It was simple, but nice.

Plain language, friendly fonts, highlighted phrases, constant review and flexibility make Teaching Textbooks a very popular math program for homeschool students. The Teaching Textbooks program is designed to make learning math in a homeschool setting the best possible experience. Since it was designed specifically for homeschoolers, the text is self-explanatory and the CD-ROM teaching allows students to work through problems with a tutor in the comfort of their own homes. Having a solution worked out for each problem is invaluable, especially in the upper levels.

mamaliof4 shared how she uses beans with her preschooler while working with her other kids. It's a great idea and and provides some sensory fun for little ones. My daughter sent this picture of her 1 year old playing with beans in a kiddy pool in her kitchen. What fun! I love second generation homeschoolers, things just come naturally to the moms.
