A Homeschool Resource Meme:

Thanks to Princess Ruby for tagging me to do a Meme....

1) ONE HOMESCHOOLING BOOK YOU HAVE ENJOYED: Boy, there are a bunch of 'em on my bookshelf that I wouldn't want to be without, but my favorite is probably "Educating the WholeHearted Child," by Clay and Sally Clarkson. I love the quotes in the margins, the practical advice, and the encouragement and new ideas I receive every time I pick it up.
Can't help it, but I've also got to mention "Better Late Than Early," by Raymond Moore. He observes from his research that there is no systematic evidence that supports the need for preschool for the child who has a good home. Great book!

2) ONE RESOURCE YOU WOULDN'T BE WITHOUT: I'd have to agree with Princess Ruby on this one. It is the computer that I don't want to be without. Especially here in Croatia, where we cannot run to the local library for resources, it is a lifesaver to run to the internet and google our questions. And in the comfort of our own home! Amazing!

3) ONE RESOURCE YOU WISH YOU HAD NEVER BOUGHT: BJU's DVD's. Ack!!!!

4) ONE RESOURCE YOU ENJOYED LAST YEAR: "A Child's Story of America," from Christian Liberty Press. Both my boys read it cover to cover and not only learned well from its story approach, but enjoyed it, too.

5) ONE RESOURCE YOU WILL BE USING NEXT YEAR: I think we'll drop BJU math and go back to Saxon.

6) ONE RESOURCE YOU WOULD LIKE TO BUY: You should see the things I circled in the CBD Homeschool catalog I got in the mail recently.... learning games, books for me, books for the kids....

7) ONE RESOURCE YOU WISH EXISTED: a homeschool CO-OP here in Croatia

8) ONE HOMESCHOOLING CATALOGUE YOU ENJOY READING: The Classical Teacher (from Memoria Press), for its motivational articles... and the above-mentioned CBD catalog for their great sales and wide selection of materials.

9) ONE HOMESCHOOLING WEBSITE YOU USE REGULARLY: I like Homeschool World

10) TAG OTHER HOMESCHOOLERS: Not officially tagging anyone this time-- if you want to do it, go for it! (And make sure you let me know so I can read your list!)
