Cool Homeschool Showcase

There's a cool Homeschool Showcase up at Weird, Unsocialized Homeschoolers, which you can check out here.

Happy Reading!

More Carnival Stuff

More selected links from today's Carnival of Homeschooling:

• Got books? Got so many books you need to organize them? Need a plan? How about Christina's 100 Tips and Tools for Managing Your Home Library. I must admit to finding lists rather overwhelming, but I'm sure I could at least pick out a few tips to implement.
• Got a quirky kid? Worried that you he/she will be labeled a Weird, Unsocialized Homeschooler? Being a bit of a square peg myself, this article resonates with me. After attending school from age 5 to age 23, I can't say I learned a single significant thing there about how to succeed socially.
• Christine has what looks like a very entertaining cup game that could get brains in gear.

OK, I give up, there are so many great links. There's no point in me creating a duplicate of the carnival over here. Want more? Go and check out the 151st Carnival of Homeschooling.

Carnival of Homeschooling

Fellow bibliophile Tami has done a great job of the 51st Carnival of Homeschooling. Tami chose a cooking theme and even managed to fit my submission on The Birds and Bees into that theme, which I am impressed about!

My favorites from today's carnival:

• An illustrated water garden project - it turned out beautifully!
• Alasandra has some carefully crafted words to say about who chooses what Americans read. Thanks Alasandra, I'm with you on this one!

Carnival of Cool Homeschoolers

I did my first submission to the carnival of cool homeschoolers and the carnival is up at: http://homeschooledtwins.blogspot.com/2008/11/carnival-of-cool-homeschoolers-12.html

My regular readers will have already read the post I submitted, but do go and check out the other cool links to homeschoolers blog posts. There are also details of two other carnivals - one for homeschooled kids' blogs and the other for homeschool kids creations.

Aesop's Fables

Aesop's Fable print at Amazon.com
This week's Carnival of Homeschooling follows an Aesop's Fables theme. What a fun way to organize the entries :-)

I'm rather fond of Aesop's Fables and apparently I'm not the only one! I've recently been writing about leveled reading books over at UsborneReading. Coincidentally several of Usborne's early level reading books feature beautiful adaptations of Aesop's Fables, including The Fox and the Crow, The Fox and the Stork, and The Goose That Laid the Golden Eggs. Usborne also publishes an attractive gift hardback Aesop's Fables book which is perfect for bedtime story reading or for reading at grandma and grandad's house.

If you want to read Aesop's Fables without illustrations they, and many more classic folk tales, are available for free at AesopFables.com. Enjoy!
