I Got the Summer Bouquet Bonus! How About You?

By Cheryl Henderson -
Ever since I broke down and got the TOS planner (which I love!) I have intended to get my subscription to their magazine as well. From everything that I've seen from The Old Schoolhouse, the subscription should fill in the gaps for anything that I might have missed while setting up the children's school schedule. Yep, I was going to get that subscription, but it's been three weeks since I made up my mind. Why? Well, life gets in the way. Little things like VBS, getting the children discharged from their cyber-charter school, returning equipment, etcetera and etcetera.

But guess what! I signed up for my subscription tonight and here's why.

As I was getting ready to shut down the computer for the night I was held captive by an email announcing that the first 5,000 subscribers (new or renewals) to the TOS magazine will be eligible for 19 cool bonuses (which include software, books, online resources, family gifts and much more). There are so many extras that TOS had to create an interactive catalog just to show you the "bio" of each of the gifts. And if you're amongst the first 1,000 subscribers you get a special bonus – a Summer Bouquet! Now, being a tiny bit competitive I wanted to make sure that I was amongst the first to get my subscription – I mean, I'm a sucker for free bonuses. And as you know, any time we complete a goal we are rewarded with a sense of contentment – which means I'll have pleasant dreams tonight. J

But wait – what about you? It wouldn't be very fair of me to keep this great deal all to myself. So, I'm letting you know now that you need to have your fingers RUN don't walk over to TOS and get that subscription so that you can be eligible to at least get the first 19 bonuses, if not the last. And remember, don't be stingy – you need to pass this information on to your friends as well.

BTW, I've made it easy for you to get started. Just click the picture or you can click here.

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...

Mental Cleanse – Chapter 5 Specialized Knowledge

By Cheryl Henderson -
Although I always did well academically in school, I had few aspirations of attending college. Being part of the "Witness Protection Program" as my husband jokingly refers to the religion that I grew up in, higher education was frowned upon. It was even implied that those who chose to pursue a college education were "spiritually weak" and need to be helped. If you knew the hierarchy as I do, you'd understand that anyone who is taught to think logically would be a threat to their absolute power, and so much be thwarted at every turn. Now, back to the topic at hand -- the true purpose of education. Although I didn't attend college, most people assumed I had some college background. This used to punish me until an older person told me that all college taught them how to do was research to find the answers they sought. And that's when I knew why people always assumed I was "properly" schooled – I'm intellectually curious and once I am int...

Quarter Mile Math Software

By Cheryl Henderson -

I am no neophyte to math software. Long before I became a mother I have been using math software to help my myriads of nieces and nephews. One of my favorite math software providers was Davidson and their really cool "Math Blaster" program back in the 1990s. But that was then and this is now. Quarter Mile's Appeal to My Children My children have enjoyed my older Davidson games because it had lots of cute songs and animations. So, although my son is a big fan of horses, I wasn't sure how the girls would feel about The Quarter Mile Math racing game where their only choices are race cars and horses. And at first glance the interface is a lot less flashy than what I've become accustomed to with some of the internet-based math games that they kids have played over the years. So, after installing it on my own computer, I started sharing it with the gang. Now Jade is my up-and-coming diva, so I her reaction was very interesting. When she first saw the splash screen she...
