August homeschool reads
August 6, 2009
I'm on a homeschool roll these days. Maybe because I'm working on the kid's portfolios for their review in a couple weeks. I seem to recall being in an "education state of mind" last summer around this time. I've come across some interesting reads & listens lately that I wanted ...
Books In... Books Out, A giveaway to clear my shelves
July 25, 2009
Last month we bought a stack of books. Doesn't happen often since we mostly use the library. But some books you just know are going to take a month or more to read and the 2 or 4 week library lending term isn't sufficient. Other books we want to own ...
