You might already be very much aware of this highly popular (and highly altruistic) website. However, in case it managed to get under your cyber-radar, allow me to tell you about FreeRice.com!
We are blessed to live in a community where there are literally hundreds of homeschool families. Not everyone is as lucky. Many folks who homeschool feel isolated, perhaps simply because of their geopgraphy, or perhaps because they just don’t know many other families who homeschool.  And, even if the parents do know other homeschoolers [...]
 Do you remember”Speak and Spell”? It was a great educational toy created by Texas Instruments. I haven’t seen them in the stores lately — LeapFrog Products and other high tech gadgets have taken it’s place. But I nice that vocabulary building device, not to mention it’s cool Stephen Hawking-styled voice. Well, if you are your kids [...]

Do you remember Aesop’s Fables? You know, the Tortoise and the Hare. The Grasshopper and the Ant. The Fox and the Crow. The Lion and the Mouse. There are hundreds more. I learned about them as a child. I read the more shocking ones as a teen. As an adult, I decided to write a [...]
Don’t worry, folks — I’m not reading Stephen King stories to my six-year old at night. or am I recommending that anyone put “Cujo” on their nine year old’s reading list. However, I must say that I was pleasantly surprised by the insight offered in Stephen King’s nonfictional book, On Writing — part memoir part [...] |
