The Pros and Cons of Homeschooling and other homeschooling resources at FamilyEducation.com

I got this link from TAGMAX, an email list that combines the interests of homeschooling and being gifted. This article was recommended because the cons are realistic and well thought out.

Living Math!

Living Math! -- a math page I want to save.

DS1 had some addition fun with a Lite Brite yesterday at daycare. He gets to the room before I do because I drop off DS2 first. When I got to DS1's room, he said to me, "Mommy, four plus four is eight." On the Lite Brite he had a row of 8 pegs, 4 of one color and 4 of another. Then he added 1 of a different color to the end and said, "And one more is nine. Four plus four plus one equals nine." Then he added 2 more of another color and said, "Two more equals eleven." My side of the conversation consisted of "yes, it does" and "that's right," then a kiss on the forehead and "have fun, bye bye I love you!"

Home Education Magazine: The oldest and most informative homeschooling magazine.

Someone on a thread on Sonlight's Forums mentioned that Home Education Magazine: The oldest and most informative homeschooling magazine is an unschooling magazine. I think I've seen the website before, but I'm want to make sure I have the reference. It appears that they select 2-4 articles from each magazine to post online, so there is fresh content at least every 2 months.

This is a new (to me (I think)) unschooling website. I found it in a Sonlight forum. Joyfully Rejoycing - Joyful Living and Unschooling

Who Links To Me

After listening to a podcast of Unbridled Learning, I surfed a few links and found a place that is a live search for blog posts that contain a link to a specified blog. So, I but LILLILY in and came up with this list of blogs. Only one is an actual post with LILLILY in it, the others include me in the sidebar where the bloggers list other homeschooling and unschooling blogs. It's nice to be recognized and to know that at least a few people read my blog.

Music Technology

My boys know how to run a DVD player, the TV, and the computer. Now they're learning about "record players" and "45s" in the basement with DH, listening to records I had as a kid. New technology, old technology, both are great! Now... where is that 8-track?
