Twisting Tornadoes

  ®One week of hands-on learning adventures for kids from K – 4th grade.

Spring is such a wonderful season, is it not?  Flowers are blooming, trees are budding, the drab, gray, cold, stark, bitterness of winter melts away to bluer skies, warmer days, green grass, and the promise of newness and longer funfilled days.  Ah, but then there is that looming green sky and the "W" on the screen of our T.V.'s that remind us to take the good with the bad.

We all cringe at the word, many of us spelling it out for young prereader ears to not hear and panic.  Memories of a youth spent terrified of the beast flood our mind.  Children are fascinated with the awesome force.  Why not learn about them in a fun, safe, lapbook study?Twisting Tornadoes lapbook—building wonderful memories that can be shared for years to come. 

In this study, your child will investigate how tornadoes form, where they typically form, how they work, and how to watch for the signs of tornado weather, as well as what to do in an emergency and how to stay safe. Each day he will explore and investigate, creating and adding more learning components to his lapbook.

If you have never done lapbook studies before, you are in for a real treat!  These are so much fun, and your child will think he is on a break!

Why Homeschooling Rocks



 

A New Homeschooling Classic!

The Homeschool Buyers Co-op is pleased to offer members a FREE copy of "Why Homeschooling ROCKS!" by the Members of the Homeschool Buyers Co-op.

In Their Own Words

On July 9, 2010, the Co-op posted a simple challenge to our members on the Homeschool Buyers Co-op Facebook wall: "Tell us why homeschooling rocks, and the Co-op will give a $50 Amazon Gift Card to the member whose post draws the most "Likes" by the end of the month". We indicated that we would compile their posts into an eBook that would be published for all homeschoolers to enjoy. We had no idea what would happen.

In the days that followed, we watched with delight as a flood of answers to this simple question poured onto our wall, many of them with photos, and all of them compelling and heartfelt.
Now, as promised, the Homeschool Buyers Co-op is proud and pleased to present this moving testimonial to the joys and rewards of homeschooling. Whether you are considering homeschooling or yourself a homeschool veteran, we think you'll find words and images in this book that will inspire and delight you and your family.

The Story of Slavery

In a previous post I had mentioned I was looking for a book to help my children understand a little deeper the history of slavery in the US.  I should have just looked in my online bookstore, duh!  I found an excellent one!  For those of you who, like me, would like a wonderful "living" book to teach about slavery, I highly recommend this book.  You can peek inside over at Reading is Priceless.
