1) One homeschooling book you have enjoyed.
Haven’t really read one all the way through. Though I have a couple I should probably pick up again.
2) One resource you wouldn’t be without.
My homeschool co-op, the internet, manipulatives, games, videos, the library (they know me by name, I don’t need a library card to check out books, and I’m probably supporting their new building with my library fines!).
3) One resource you wish you had never bought.
I don’t regret buying anything, though some things I’ve only used for a short season. Now if you asked my kids, they would say, Latina Christiana. I bought the workbook and DVD, and they were so bored listening to the teacher that they ended up counting her “ums” instead of listening to the lesson.
4) One resource you enjoyed last year.
State Capital Songs
Science Songs I found on the internet and downloaded. They seem straight from the 60’s or 70’s, but their goofy, catchy tunes have us singing about weather, the planets, nature, etc.
Think it Through Tiles by Discovery Toys. I don’t use this nearly as much as I should but it is hands on preschool, phonics, and upper grade math and geography.
Rock and Phonics video. It’s pretty lame to watch, but the kids have fun making fun of it and they seem to pick up phonics as well. In fact, my first grader is learning his phonics lessons really quickly and I’m sure that video has something to do with it.
5) One resource you will be using next year.
I have so many learning games I should have used this year. Next year I will try and incorporate them more.
6) One resource you would like to buy.
I’m always second guessing my curriculum choices, but I love buying literature unit studies.
7) One homeschooling catalog you enjoy reading.
I try not to read homeschooling catalogs because of the previous question. If I see it, I’ll want it! Then I’ll buy it and probably not use it!
8) One homeschooling(educational) website you use regularly.
I don’t use anything regularly, though occassionally
