1) ONE HOMESCHOOLING BOOK YOU HAVE ENJOYED
What Is a Family? by Edith Schaeffer. I know this book wasn’t written as a homeschooling book, but it summarizes my ideal philosophy of family-centered living and God-honoring education.
2) ONE RESOURCE YOU WOULDN’T BE WITHOUT
My computer. I use it to make lists and lesson plans and schedules, and to find titles of books and other resources, and, of course, to blog about it all.
3) ONE RESOURCE YOU WISH YOU HAD NEVER BOUGHT
Television. We use it to entertain and to watch educational videos, but the TV and I have a love-hate relationship. We hardly watch any network TV (just LOST), but still I think my urchins spend way too much time watching movies and PBS junk food.
4) ONE RESOURCE YOU ENJOYED LAST YEAR
I enjoyed all our read aloud books, especially The Pushcart War by Jean Merrill.
5) ONE RESOURCE YOU WILL BE USING NEXT YEAR
Good old Saxon math. Not exciting, but reliable.
6) ONE RESOURCE YOU WOULD LIKE TO BUY
A maid. Well, not buy, but rent.
7) ONE RESOURCE YOU WISH EXISTED
A self-cleaning house that also trained the urchins to do housework.
8) ONE HOMESCHOOLING CATALOGUE YOU ENJOY READING
Sonlight catalog. I use their book lists all the time.
9) ONE HOMESCHOOLING WEBSITE YOU USE REGULARLY
Potter’s School, an online Christian school that offers classes for secondary school students. This year we’re only taking one class at Potter’s School, a writing class for Brown Bear Daughter, but we’ve been very pleased with the classes we’ve taken there.
10) TAG FIVE OTHER HOMESCHOOLERS
Yikes! I think everyone has done this meme, but if you haven’t please copy and post and leave me a comment so I can see what you’re enjoying, regretting, wanting, and using in your homeschool.
I did this one, too. We’re starting Saxon math this year – I’m hoping it will be as reliable for us as it is for you.
We use old faithful Saxon as well. it isn’t the glamor boy of math. But it works for us.
