~Today's Link
Today I'm sending you over to Homeschoolblogger.com to check things out. Looks like this might be a great way to connect to other home schoolers and get ideas for things to do in your own home school. There are links for starting your own (free) homeschool blog and a whole community to network with.
I haven't had time to really explore this site yet, so if you get a chance please come on back here and leave me a brief review in the comments. I'd love to hear what you think!

Today's Link
~Today's link:
Today I'm posting a link for all those preschoolers out there.
Have you ever tried to get a 3yo to sit still for any length of time? I often struggle with things to keep the Grub busy while Monkey is doing his schoolwork . I know she's old enough to begin learning things herself, but her attention span is about 5 minutes long. When I found this site I was excited. It offers tons of things to keep her occupied, and allows me to have a variety of activities available to switch up things for her when the inevitable boredom sets in. I hope you enjoy today's link:
Providing links to lesson plans, worksheets,
tips,activities and more for your preschool child!
And, because I missed posting yesterday here's a bonus link (another site with daily links to free homeschool stuff):
The Homeschool FREEBIE of the Day!

Summer's Here! and Link of the Day
~Summer's Here!
So what does that mean to the homeschooling families? Sometimes not much. =) Monkey's routine doesn't change much, except he spends more time outside playing with the neighbor kids. I'm not sure I like him playing with some of them, but what do you do? They are the only kids around here his age, and I do make sure he has time with kids I prefer. Plus, there are positive life lessons to be learned from playing with kids you might not think are the best influences.. After all, we all have to learn to deal with real life, and not all people have the same values you may have. It's important to me for my kids to learn to deal with these issues while I have some control over the consequences. And we do have weekly playdates for both kids with other homeschoolers to counterbalance what he has to deal with here at home. =)
I've decided to begin a Link of the Day section. I'm hoping this will help keep me on track with my goal of providing as much free information as possible to help out fellow homeschoolers. I know how expensive things can get. =) So without further ado, here is:

Monkey has decided that Science is his thing, so we try to put all the schoolwork in a scientific focus. It makes things so much smoother when he's excited to do what we ask. =) So today's homeschool link is from About.com: Homeschooling. We've spent the summer learning about sea animals, and this link has tons of unit studies and worksheets related to sea animals. Hope you enjoy the link!
