BFS #110: Computers Help People Help People

Posted in Fun, and Homeschooling

Assignment:Share some of your favorite homeschooling sites. The only “rule” for this assignment is that you have to list at least one “free” site. Many homeschooling families have made the choice to live on very little income to do what they believe is best for their children and I want everyone to be able to benefit from this assignment. If you have other sites that are “paid” sites, feel free to include these also as it might be something someone would really appreciate. If you feel led, share your curriculum choices with us.

BFS #109: We Bring Good Things to Life

Posted in Fun, and Homeschooling

History was never my favorite subject in school. Even with a good history teacher, I always found it dry. I was not looking forward to teaching history, but a funny thing happened along the way… History started to come alive as we started our journey into our nation’s past. We are blessed to live in a history rich area. We can visit battlefields where Daddy brings the battles to life. He points out trenches and areas that would be good places to attack.
