Looking for something interesting & educational to watch with your tweens/teens this summer?

For the Dickens’ lovers in the house: Don’t miss this adorable novel set in London at the famous Ye Old Cheshire Cheese Pub where Charles Dickens hung out! 

This British cat and mouse tale (literally!) received Starred Reviews from both Publisher’s Weekly and Kirkus. For ages 9 and up.

When we first began homeschooling seven years ago, I knew I wanted something different for our family, but I wasn’t sure exactly what!

Oak Meadow’s alternative approach was just what we needed to get us started–planned enough to make me feel comfortable, but flexible enough to let us find our own way.

Everyone knows about PBS, but did you know they also have a FREE service called PBS LearningMedia​?

Browse by grade or subject to find digital resources (video, audio, lesson plans) on thousands of different topics. Definitely one site worth exploring in your homeschool!
