homeschool resources

just FYI... i have added links on my sidebar to two of my favorite homeschooling websites. they have been great resources for me, though i have just begun to tap into all that they have to offer. another webpage that i love on books and reading (complete with more great links) is http://www.homeschoolmarketplace.com/booklists/index.htm.

another resource that i have been using for the past couple of years now with miriam is a set of workbooks from Rod & Staff Publishers. as a beginner homeschooler, i guess it's been nice that miriam is a workbook kind of gal... though i don't know if that will continue with the boys! levi has begun to show interest, though, in sitting with me at times with these books or others like them. miriam has probably done more repitition than necessary for her with this set, but she enjoys it nonetheless. i have made copies of the pages instead of having her write right in the book, so now that she is starting to outgrow them, they are ready to be used again.

miriam also has been enjoying Bob Books this fall for reading practice. she has now completed the first set and it's time to move on to the next!
