After 13 years here at About.com Homeschooling, it's time for me to move on. My last day here will be May 31st. My new website is already up and running albeit it is in its infancy stages. Come check it out, say hello and subscribe to my new newsletter. The Summer Reading Club will be hosted at Homeschool Journeys from now on as announced last week.

It remains the desire of my heart to assist homeschool families in the process of homeschooling their children. My resources here will remain available, but my new articles, printable worksheets, unit studies and whatnot will be over at Homeschool Journeys.com. I hope to see you there. I invite your comments to this post here.

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.
