Chance to Win FREE Ticket to Schoolhouse Expo!

The Old Schoolhouse Expo is a great opportunity to attend a homeschool convention from the comfort of your own home!  I have missed going to my favorite homeschool convention for the last several years because it is the same week as our state wide Special Olympics competition.  Even when I do go I have the expense of fuel and/or lodging costs because the nearest convention is at least 2 hours away.  That is one reason I am really looking forward to the Schoolhouse Expo which will won't cost me any travel expenses at all!

The Schoolhouse Expo - Homeschooling With Heart will run August 19-23 from 1:00pm to 8:00pm EST.  They have an amazing list of 30 speakers including Ray Comfort, Andrew Pudewa, Todd Wilson and Dean Butler (yes Almonzo from Little House on the Prairie). The cost is $24 and gives you access to all seminars right from where you are.

You can visit the website to learn more and purchase your ticket.  You could also try to win one for free!  For promoting the Expo I am not only getting a free ticket myself, I get to give one away to one of my readers too!  Follow the instructions in the Raffle Copter Box to enter!  The contest closes August 15.

Hi Lori, So glad that I found you through UBC. I'm also a homeschooler for over 20 years. I went to a small convention when I was first getting started, but then life just got too full and I was never able to attend another one.
I'd love to win this ticket. Thanks for offering this.
Blessings,
Barbara

Printable Family Chore Chart

You know chore charts are not just for children.  As I have been struggling trying to keep the house work up among all my summer activities, homeschooling projects, exercise, blogging, church activities and other every day life events I realized that I needed a hand.  Since Gess is getting older and taking on more responsibility I though it was a good time to put some order into her routine of helping.  Then Chelsie gave me a great idea that she uses.  By breaking up my weekly chores into daily tasks I don't have to give up an entire day to nothing but cleaning house! Taking her idea and breaking up the daily chores I came up with the following list.  There is one for each of us and an extra one that goes beyond the standard chores.  It's the stuff we do at least once a week to keep our house neat and clean.  What I love about it is that if something happens on that one day I had set aside to clean the house, it doesn't mean that my entire house gets neglected for anothe

Computer Time: Starfall.com

One thing my daughter loves to do (like most other kids) is spend time on the computer. One of our favorite websites is Starfall.com . It is a free educational sight that not only teaches reading but the kids really seem to enjoy it. It is geared towards preschool to 2nd grade and is a great tool for learning early reading skills. It helps to teach phonics but can also enhance sight vocabulary as well. The ABC's section is for early reading and it lets you explore your letters and their phonetic sounds. There are great songs for each of the short vowel sounds and for each consonant there is a short activity which explores the letters sound and teaches you some words that start with each letter. Once children know their letters (and even before that) there are stories that you can read. If you click on each word it not only says the word for you, but it sounds it out phonetically, teaching you to do the same. There are lots of other fun activities too. I think it is one of the

Learning the 10 Commandments

Image
As Gess is getting older we thought it was important to stress having some personal devotion time. I think she needs to know that she can pray and study God's Word anytime she chooses. We always begin her day learning something in the Bible together. Then I have her write and meditate on the portion of Scripture that was the focus for the day. Since she was doing some written work each day we thought it would be good to have a place to keep it all together so that could look it over later and remember what she has studied so far. So we made made her a notebook and titled it My Devotional and keep it with her bible. One of our early lessons this year was to memorize the 10 commandments. I recalled that Living Waters had a great resource for helping kids to memorize them so I went to their site and downloaded their 10 Commandments Learning Aids . They use these images to help tie the number to the actual commandment. They have a full presentation but here is the sheet with
