This Old SchoolHouse "Take 10" Special Deal

By Cheryl Henderson -
Hey, just wanted to give everybody a heads up on a great deal over at TOS for May 25th & 26th. They are running a subscription promotion that is too good to pass up. If you subscribe to the TOS Magazine for one year you'll also get to pick up 5 WeE-books for free! And to top off this great deal, they are also reducing their subscription price to $15 (regularly $25/yr.).

Now in case you're wondering about the WeE-books deal, let me tell you my experience. The coolest aspect of these publications is that they are short, to the point and stuffed with useful information. I've done a few reviews on the ones that interested me and my family. You can check out my reviews of Fundraising, On the Wings of a Butterfly, and Work at Home in earlier blogs.

Anyway, don't waste time reading this -- you need to hit this sale before it ends on Tuesday, May 26th at midnight.

Happy Learning!

Planning for Your Homeschooling Year Couldn’t Be Easier

By Cheryl Henderson -
As some of you know, I am returning to my traditional homeschooling roots this year. I did my experimentation into cyberschooling and found it lacking. But I also live in PA, one of the high documentation homeschooling states (also known as "Big PA in in the neck states") so I've been wondering how I was going to pull a curriculum together to present to the Lords of Education so they'll go away. So, once we made our decision to get away from cyberschools I began looking at different curriculum. I have been looking at complete year curriculum as well as a more eclectic collection of resources. But now I don't have to look any further because I just discovered The Old Schoolhouse 2009-2010 Planner ! First off, let me confess that I have not been the most organized homeschooler. I've purchased programs to keep records on the girls work, I've set up schedules (that I then proceeded to ignore after about a week), and changed my mind a couple of times during the

School Daze

I'm really trying to remember to do a blog a day. Right now I'm exhausted from a day of schoolwork and tears. Children are very interesting. You put them to bed early, wake up in a good mood and I think all that contentment makes them crazy. My daughters spent the day crying over various (and mostly imaginary) problems. My four year old (who knows all of her phonics and has been reciting the alphabet forever) suddenly doesn't know any of the letter names. My seven year old, who has a natural aptitude for math, suddenly can't do addition or subtraction. And I mean equations such as 15-5. The very appearance of equations made her cry. So, I let her play Harvest Moon for a bit (she needed to buy fertilizer for her farm and medicine for her cow)to let her get herself together before we got back to work. Mistake. The bull was sick too -- she was an awful farmer and the tears started flowing again. Her sister cried because her throat hurt her too much to recite the

Don't you hate when your kids get sick?

By Cheryl Henderson -
You know, I hate when my kids get sick. It's not just because it's yucky and I don't get any sleep for a week. It's mainly because I get tired of people asking me why my children are sick. One day I think I'll create a diagram of the infection. It'll go something like this: J, A and M were sitting in McDonald's playroom (they have a really great one in Stroudsburg). Unknown child 1 wiped her nose with her hand before climbing onto the sliding board while grasping the handholds. Unknown child 2 sneezed without covering his face and the spray took in a radius of up to three feet in 180 degree spread. Unfortunately, my children were caught in the spray. A rubbed her eyes and infected herself that way. J breathed in the flying germs while laughing at her sister's antics. And M got it from his two sisters. I mean, how the heck does anyone get sick? Uh, they are around sick people and, duh, get infected. That's why we all still suffer from the common cold
