Why Would You Attend A Homeschool Convention?
Why waste your time?
Why waste your money?
Why put forth the effort?
My friend Kris has 6 reasons why not to attend this year. Check it out over at Weird Unsocialized Homeschoolers 6 Reasons To Stay Far, Far Away From Homeschool Conventions.
p.s. I think Todd Wilson hits the nail on the head too...with that cartoon.
Lapbooks in the Homeschool~Have Some FUN!
Looking for something fun and educational? Maybe work on an area your child is behind in?
This is something fun to do in the homeschool. Lapbooks (younger kids) and Lappacks (older kids). Mine love these in the younger years and in the older years I did the cutting and pasting LOL and they studied from them. I even had my 4-H kids do one on Roberts Rules of Order, they thought it dumb at first until they got it done and then it was really cool! lol.
There are lapbooks for all grade levesl pre-K-12th. We even did the Apologia science ones for Biology, Chemistry, A&P and Physics.
You can do your own idea or print ideas or purchase PDF files to print. You can be simple or elaborate. Something so simple, teaches concepts so well. Search YouTube for videos on how to get your folders set up and then go from there. To me that was the hardest part was figuring out how to do that.
