Gluten free, Dairy free, Corn free hamburger bun recipe...let the grilling begin!

YUMMY Gluten Free, Corn Free and Dairy Free hamburger bun recipe from the Gluten Free Homemaker hamburger buns. They look mighty fine! Head on over and check out the recipe on Linda's blog. They are pretty easy to make too.


These are my go to hamburger buns when we grill out. Mine don't look as good as Linda's from the Gluten Free Homemaker, but they taste GREAT. Let me know if you try them and what you think of them.
Read her comments section, someone mentions freezing them for later use and also using a premixed flour blend.



Summer School Or No School?

What do you do in your homeschool for summer?

I remember the fun times of summer school at my public high school. We did not have air conditioning in our summer home when I was growing up. Though the house was on the lake and had wonderful breezes blowing through pretty much all the time. It sure was nice to be in that air conditioned school on really hot and humid days. Summer school was a time to reconnect with friends, enjoy getting to know school teachers better, since they were more relaxed and not so rushed. As well as a time for getting classes out of the way.

If you mention summer school to most teens today, they totally freak out and can't imagine enjoying it or they correlate it with earning grades of F's. A big plus with homeschooling is that we are instilling a love of learning in our child, it's not a chore, learning is a wonderful part of life.

Our summer school this year looks like this. We have a combination of Advanced Math, Advanced Chemistry (through a paid Fellowship working on Cancer research in a Chemistry lab) and Advanced Biology are all going on right now. Subjects that the Homeschooling Young Man finds fascinating and enjoyable are a great fit for summer school.

He has signed up for Community College courses for the fall.

Along the way he has been teaching kids robotics and chemistry camps, volunteering, job shadowing free reading, Lego building and finishing up 4-H County Fair projects.

In addition to summer schooling we will be working on life skills as usual, taking a trip or two and enjoying the shade of the patio and sun on the deck.

So what are your plans for summer?

Freshen Up Your Homeschool Today With Schoolhouseteachers.com!

Those muggy days of summer are upon us! Does your homeschool need freshened up?

One of my favorite homeschool sites is The School House Teachers website. For one low prices you get preschool-12 grade, classes, videos, lesson plans, fun stuff like guitar lessons, art techniques for the lower grades. And tough stuff like biology and algebra for the upper grades. Try a month for free using the coupon code TRIAL (all caps). Then just pay $12.95 each month after.

I have been a member of Schoolhouse Teachers for several years and there is always something new! There are classes that your student can take and they even explain how to give credits for high school for the upper level classes. If you hop around in your homeschool like many of us do, there are archived lesson plans, so no need to be tied down to the computer each day.
 
Don't just veg out!! Do something fun in your homeschool today!
Something that I have liked about Schoolhouse Teachers website is that I have always felt comfortable letting the homeschooled young man freely surf their website. He has actually learned a lot just by goofing around on the site during his free time. Remember the cool think about homeschooling is that our kids learn even when they are having fun! They just don't know that they are learning, because it's fun!

What are you waiting for? Shake things up and freshen up that homeschool of yours!

p.s. The guitar lessons have been GREAT for the Homeschooled Young Man.

Schoolhouse Teachers Homeschool


http://schoolhouseteachers.com/dap/a/?a=1054&p=https://schoolhouseteachers.com/member-resources/all-courses/ (The Old Schoolhouse Magazine, owner). Yet another useful home education tool provided by http://thehomeschoolmagazine.com/SchoolhouseTeachers.com is set up by graded sections, pre/K & elementary, middle school and high school with drop down menus for all. You will find everything for homeschooling with topics such as logic, math, science, history, fine arts, Bible and many more electives as well as helps for the homeschool mom.

http://schoolhouseteachers.com/dap/a/?a=1054&p=https://schoolhouseteachers.com/member-resources/all-courses/ is a must for all homeschoolers, whether you are a boxed curriculum homeschooler, eclectic or unschooler this site has something for your student with 400+ classses. Our homeschool has tended towards the boxed curriculum (we have started branching out in recent years though) but it was always missing something. I’ve found what was missing and it was SchoolhouseTeachers.com, there are all sort of goodies to find on this site. 

It just so happens that my son was given an acoustic guitar as a gift and he has been getting library books on how to play the guitar, but they have been either way over his head or contained music that does not fit our family values. As we are reviewing the Old Schoolhouse magazines website SchoolhouseTeachers.com we came across the guitar lessons.

Mom & Dad have no trouble with reminding our son to practice his guitar because SchoolhouseTeachers.com is so much fun to use!
Our son has only been using the guitar lessons from Schoolhouseteachers.com for about a week and a half and by no means is he jammin’ out on the guitar, but he is making music and not just noise anymore. LOL! 

The videos are AWESOME! It's great to go back and watch them again to get the finger movements down pat.
A great feature of SchoolhouseTeachers.com site has unit for parents, it has a monthly menu feature.

Another area that I liked was the logic section. We have always struggled with teaching logic in our homeschool, so I was thrilled to see Logic on the drop down menu under middle school. I like how the lessons are set up so that my son can just go right in and get started. It has helped foster independence on his part. I know that we have a few years to go before college, but when I look at the SchoolhouseTeachers.com website, I’m thinking about how using this site will help our son out in the long run. Online college classes are the future for many of our children and what better way for them to be prepared than by teaching them in pre/k & elementary, middle school and high school with methods that they will continue to use down the road.

We plan to continue searching through all the goodies over the next year that SchoolhouseTeachers.com offers. Post and let me know what you think of the site and how it's enhanced your homeschool.

Have a great day!
