Here are some of the links (websites and blogs) that I have read, enjoyed and/or drawn from over the last week.  May you find something helpful in amongst the list.

 

Aussie Homeschooling

I have started to get involved with this Online Community – Aussie Homeschooling

 If you are an Aussie – I invite you to join in. 

 
 

Lapbooking – I’ve decided to give lapbooking a go again with my younger two children.  I’ve revived my page at  Lapbook Lessons online community to help me be motivated and connect with those mums who are experienced.  Lots of ideas, motivations, templates etc.  If you are interested in lapbooking – it is simple to join.

 

China / Olympics

I got some thoughts for our Geography/China scrapbook from Clickschooling

My Subscription to Laines Letters bounced (as per last week’s link)

So I have just book marked Laines Letters to remind myself to come back every so often for an encouragement.

 

 

Math drill sheets

Josh used these website to print out practice/drill sheets for a math concept he was struggling with.

I have given myself a new challenge – to learn digital scrapbooking.  I’d like to encourage my girls to learn and I do wonder if it won’t be something Daniel enjoys but I think I have to have a model in front of them first.  My goal is to scrap a few homeschool quotes from books that I am reading – not sure what photos I’ll use but I just want to play around for a bit.

Scrapbook to Learn got me going  (this group also covers lapbooks and notebooks so there is lots of creativity flying around)

I’m checking out ScrapbookMax 30day free trial
