Home School Online

I just found an amazing site that is being developed: HomeschoolLiterature.com.   It’s dedicated to creating a directory of books about homeschoolers. Here’s what I think is so interesting, it’s not about books about how to homeschool, it’s a directory of literature (short stories and novels, maybe poems) in which homeschoolers are key characters.

Don’t you want your kids having these books on their reading lists?  Please pass it on, the site is new and still being developed. I know they need help finding all the books and getting them reviewed. They are also building lesson plans to help study them.  Here’s a list of what they’ve found so far:

Mary has done it again.  She is one of my most favorite homeschool columnists. I  highly recommend this column about Getting The MOST Out Of Your State Homeschool Convention !

Here’s a teaser of her thoughts on homeschool curriculum fairs and conventions: 

Two weeks ago Florida had it’s big FPEA Convention. It is the largest (population wise) in the United States. I look forward to this event all year long. I have to tell you though that I was a bit of a rebel the first nine years I homeschooled. I didn’t go because I felt like I could use that money to buy more curriculum and couldn’t justify the expense of the annual convention. I had no idea what I was missing out on. It is so much more than curriculum…, SO MUCH MORE!
