Good Reminder

Well, we attended the NCHE (North Carolina Home Educators) Conference last weekend. This is our 5th year and we learn something new and hear important reminders every year.

As Home Schoolers we are very adamant about making sure our children receive the best education they can, while taking into consideration each child's individual learning style, interests, and special abilities. One of the many great things about home schooling is that we can treat each child as an individual rather than a robot-like clone among a group of other clones in a state run institution. Ok, I'll get off my soap box.

We also were reminded of the importance of good resources, especially in good written materials like stories, books, curriculum, etc. One thing we try to do consistently is to provide our children with wholesome reading. They are at the age now that Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys are favorites. They also like books on westerns, American girl (we have 2 boys and a girl, if you were wondering), science, art, history...just about anything that will capture their interests and hold it until they finish the book.

We frequent the library, local book fairs, and book shops. We are huge fans of vintage or used books. Why not recycle, right?

Whether you are a home school advocate or a public/private school supporter we should all have the same goal in mind. Making sure our kids get the best education they can without hindering or hampering the person that God made them to be.

Be involved in your kid's future. Be involved in their lives. Know them, love them, build trust and a lasting relationship with them.

Home School Resources Are Here!

We have many home school resource books at our eCrater site as well as Ebay and Half.com.

I wanted to point out a few of them in case you are looking for some good books for your home school, or to enhance your child's private or public school lessons.

We homeschool our children and a specifically look for the old chapter books mainly because they were so well written. They had real stories with believable characters and most of them had a moral to the story.

Here are a few that we offer:

Living In Our World - Social Studies This is a great elementary level social studies book.

Widening Circles Elementary Reader Level 8 Perfect addition to any elementary reading program.

Flood Hazzard by Maurine H. Gee Chapter Book

Journeys Through Bookland Volume 5 http://jklbooksupply.ecrater.com/product.php?pid=7021913 Contains 27 classic stories.

Of course, you can browse all of our books (and a few other items) at all of our online stores. Just click the links at the top of this blog and you'll be sent directly there.

Thanks for looking. Check back often for more items and some semi-interesting stories. By the way, feel free to become a "follower"....

Homeschool Resources and other books and Videos

http://jklbooksupply.ecrater.com

We just listed several more items in our eCrater.com store! One of them is the book called Taking Charge Through Home Schooling by Larry and Susan Kaseman.

It has a 1990 copyright but it also has a lot of useful, and surprisingly, up to date information about homeschooling.

There is information about when you are deciding to home school or not, setting goals, curriculum, alternative approaches to learning and teaching....just a lot of great information for anyone considering to home school their children or maybe needing some direction and encouragement.

We've home schooled our triplets for 5 years and it was the best decision we could have ever made. You have to come to grips with what the Lord wants you to do and then just trust Him and do it, no questions asked. Once we decided, we never looked back. We are planning on our children graduating from home school. Think about it, why would you let someone that doesn't know your children, doesn't love your children, why would you let them raise and teach your children. Home schooling allows you to instill your values and your direction into their lives.

Anyway, take a look at the book and the other resources we have at any of our stores.
