If you're coming here from the Homeschool group, check out the links in the sidebar. Over the years, as I came across websites and videos on various subjects, I added them here for easy access. I hope you find them helpful!

Online Classes For Homeschoolers
Several months ago, I discovered Schoolhouse Teachers, and decided to sign up. There are classes on every subject, and lots of electives. Some courses are text based, some have video components, and all necessary materials are included. I like to give the kids lots of options, and help them find things that interest them, rather than just 'doing school' to get it done. Hopefully these classes will ease the boredom factor!
Right away, Danica decided to check out a french course, and loved it! She'll be continuing with it this fall when we get back to school.
I've also found several short courses for the boys...some will help them decide on a career path, others show them how to start their own small business. Daniel will be taking a photography course along with a challenge to send in his own photos.
Included in the membership is access to a huge media library with videos for all ages...kids shows, biographies, documentaries, movies. I'm looking forward to checking some of these out myself!
I initially signed up for the first month for $1, but we're definitely keeping our membership...It's well worth the $12.95 a month! You can check it out through my affiliate link at Schoolhouse Teachers.

Round Loom
One of Danica's Christmas gitfs was a round loom, with three different sizes. When i was a child we used old wooden thread spools, and called this corkwork.

Button Picture Frames
For Danica's birthday party we made picture frames. We cut the frames from cardboard cereal boxes, then used glue guns to attach the buttons. They turned out very nice.

Play House Construction
This was a summer and fall 2015 project. Danica's play house has been a long time coming. The framing for the floor was started in 2014, but we never got any further. It is still not finished, but hopefully, summer 2016 will see it completed, and pictures added.
