Back to School Week Winners & Weekend Links

August 7, 2011 //  by Jamie C. Martin

Thanks to all those who visited the blog this week and took the time to enter the back to school giveaways.

I wish I could give you all a prize, but I am really grateful to bless four winners with these awesome gifts before the school year kicks off.

Here are the winners for our four prizes as well as some weekend links to browse:

1. Foreign Language Program from Rosetta Stone

Winner: Lisa Warren, who said, “I would really like to win Spanish as my two 4 year olds are trying to teach themselves by playing free computer games. I would like to make this more formal and learn along with them.”

2. Curriculum Package from Oak Meadow

Winner: Thia, who said, “Because my children are small and quiet planning time is also small (lol) I do prefer something laid out for me.”

3. Microscope from Imagine Childhood (2 Winners)

Winner: Jen, who said, “We would love to win this for our homeschool. We are studying Biology this year. Could come in handy when we get to bugs. Thanks for the giveaway!”

Winner: Adriana Watt, who said, “My son wants to mix things up. Chemistry is his interest. But my girls want to know about flowers and insects.”

If you see your name mentioned above, look for an email from me later today!

And here are some weekend links too:

  • Getting Started in Homeschooling: Building Your Academic Calendar :: Life as Mom
  • Raising Extroverted Boys :: Mt. Hope Chronicles
  • Q&A with Montessori Minute’s John Bowman :: 1+1+1=1
