Home Education Year 2005-2006
8-11-05 | Tired of Taxes

Posted on 08/11/2005 10:00:17 AM PDT by Tired of Taxes

A spot for homeschool families to share advice and offer support as we prepare for the 2005-2006 Homeschool Year

Many home-educated children continue their lessons throughout the summer, but we parents often look to purchase new materials and begin new projects in September.

In the past, FR homeschoolers started a thread every year to post links and recommend books and materials to each other. I haven't seen that done recently, so I'm creating one here. (My apologies if I missed anything).

If there is anything you'd like to recommend to other home educators, please do so:

Those are just a few topics. Maybe we can keep a running list of recommendations here on this thread.


TOPICS: Culture/Society; Miscellaneous; Your Opinion/Questions
KEYWORDS: frhf; homeschool; homeschooler; homeschoolers; homeschooling

hahha, I said I could do it 6 months at a time, then I'd have to think about it. We ended up doing K-10 (what I thot was 10, but was 12th). He went off to the Jr College at that point. We LOVED it. Have fun.

Homeschooling is like jumping off a cliff in faith that you will hit the water and not the rocks only to find out you have wings that work!

Add me to home school as well. This got me to sign up after lurking forever. Have home schooled for three years with Switched on Schoolhouse it is great, bit expensive but well worth it. My older child needs more of a challenge this year so he is doing Flvs for sixth grade.

Words Their Way and/or Word Journeys are good books for teaching Phonics or Word Study.

Welcome! :-)

Thanks for posting the tips. I've heard Switched on Schoolhouse is good to use. Our county (in NJ) is planning a "virtual school", too; it'll be interesting to see what they come up with.
