Homeschool Freebie of the Month - October

This month's freebie is the book,No Longer a Slumdog by K.P. Yohannan, founder of Gospel for Asia. This is a great homeschooling resource for those of you who enjoy reading aloud as part of your homeschooling. This book discusses the situations of children in Asia and how the Lord is transforming their lives. This author also offers his book, Revolution in World Missions for free on their website, which would be a great follow-up or precursor to No Longer a Slumdog as it gives the background on K.P. Yohannan's life and covers how he founded Gospel for Asia. Just click on the link above for the order form. My book arrived in about a week. Happy homeschooling!

Homeschool Freebie of the Month - August

Summer is almost over, and most of us are gearing up to start school. We started this week, and I think we're really going to enjoy the Heart of Dakota curriculum. I'm going to post a weekly review on our lessons at the end of each week. This month's freebie comes from Taste of Home and Ziploc. All you need to do is input 2 UPC symbols from any ziploc products and you get a free online back to school meal planner. These look to be quick and easy recipes, including slow cooker recipes, which will come in handy once your schedule becomes full with school projects and lesson planning. Enjoy and happy homeschooling!

On a side note - Scholastic is having their yearly teacher clearance sale. Homeschoolers can take advantage of the teacher store by simply inputting that you homeschool when you order. I saw some great bilingual science readers for little ones marked down from $20 to $6. I've ordered from Scholastic in the past, and it's always shipped quickly and in good shape. This back to school clearance sale usually runs through the beginning of September, so you may want to check it out.
