The Bottom Line I want you to know that you are not alone, there are many places to go for help.

Well parents school has been going on for a few months now. I hope all of you are having fun teaching and the kids are learning lots of new things this year.
I love to use the internet to help with teaching my 8 year old son. We use lots of websites for research, ideas, and lessons.
I wanted to share with you some great websites that I have found helpful to me and my son.

1)We can all open the phone book and find anything we need in the yellow pages, right!? Well, fellow homeschoolers we too have our own yellow pages!!! http://www.homeschoolyellowpages.com/

2)With Thanksgiving right around the corner this site will give you neat craft ideas and lesson plans.

8) My son likes bugs, and we have done lessons on them. So if your child would like to know more about ants, bees, butterflies, spiders, silkworms, and so much more, than this is the place to go.

9)Not to long ago we did a lesson on the importance of recycling, here is a great site to help you with that lesson.
