Free Republic Homeschoolers’ Forum 2006-2007
A spot for homeschoolers on Free Republic to share information
First, a big, hearty CONGRATULATIONS to all those students who graduated this year! May you enjoy happiness and success in all of your endeavors.
For those of us still working toward that goal, this forum has been a wealth of information. News articles and legislative alerts keep us up-to-date here. Many thanks to Jim Robinson and Free Republic!
Last summer, we shared homeschooling advice with each other on this thread.
All of the books, curricula, and resources mentioned on that thread – as well as a few mentioned elsewhere on Free Republic - have been carried over to this one. (See the list in post #2).
Please feel free to post more information to help other homeschoolers and share more advice with each other right here on this new thread.
Best wishes for all of you and your families this year!
Please add me to your ping list as well.
Bookmarked that site! Thank you -- looks like some good reading.
Are you a GCC grad?
Yes, I am.
Grove City is a great school.

Very cool!! I ALMOST went there, but we live in Missouri and at the time I just didn't want to go that far from home.
Welcome aboard!
Does anyone have any experience with homeschooling young preschool age kids? I found something called "hands on homeschooling" online, wondering if anyone has used it? Thanks.
Hi pesto, I have a preschooler also, and just let her play with brother's educational toys. Right now, all she needs is play. Other than that, I have no advice to give.
In other news...
I did just get an email with a link to a Thanksgiving unit from "Hands On Teaching Tips." If anyone has heard of Homeschool in the Woods, this is from the same family.

Hi, Pesto. I just pretty much played with my little ones, but that was back in the days of the dinosaurs. There is a free reading program online that my grandson loves,
