Weekend homeschool links

Check this out: As a community of readers we reached the goal of giving over $5,000 to those still affected by the tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary School in 2012.

Thank you, thank you to those who gave. It meant so much to check in on New Year’s Eve and see this! And last-minute donations can still be given here if anyone wanted to do so and lost track of time.

Elijah used Reading Eggs a few years ago, and it was another great step toward his reading fluency – plus it was fun!

We checked it out first by signing up for their free trial, and you can, too. 4 weeks FREE with no credit card required.

When I spoke at a Great Homeschool Conventions conference a few years ago, I was amazed at the organization of it all – there really was something for everyone.

This year there will be GHC events in SC, TX, OH, & CA from March through June. Prices go up on Jan 10th, so now’s a great time to book tickets!
