Book Reviews and Giveaways

I have promised to review several books in the last few months. So, the month of April is book review month. The line-up includes raising boys, becoming a grandparent, and hosting homeschool co-ops. With each book you will also have a chance to win a copy of the book.

First, however, I want to have a give-away of my two e-booklets.

Seed Catalog Curriculum is 50+ lesson ideas for math, language, science, art, etc. using your seed catalogs. This booklet has been well received and commented on.

P. Rosenburg of Seminole, FL had this to say about Seed Catalog Curriculum:

I love how you can you use it as a base for information yet each level has their own work to do. I think I like the math section the most. Sometimes math can be so monotonous, but this will teach kids to think using everyday (at least for us gardeners) situations...so much more fun than a text book! I think it would be an exciting curriculum to look forward to in the Spring when everything is warming up and we (especially homeschoolers) are ready to change it up a bit.

Planning a Homeschool Graduation is a workbook with everything you need to remember to do when planning a graduation ceremony. It is written for parents planning the graduation of their own child, or for coordinators in charge of an event for a homeschooling support group. With checklists and worksheets you can print out and use, this booklet is invaluable to keep you organized and on track for that special day.

Linda Dobson, author of The Art of Education and other books on homeschooling, regular columnist for Home Education Magazine and creator of ParentattheHelm.com said this about Planning a Homeschool Graduation:

With this well-organized and teeming-with-resources guide, the graduation you plan will be successful and memorable for your graduate, family, and friends.
