Our Homeschool Room

As a homeschooler, one site that I regularly visit is Freely Educate. I find this site very helpful as it shares a lot of homeschool resources that are for free.This is where I found out about Zoodles, Old Schoolhouse, Currclick and I got to download 10 free ebooks (through a coupon) from Scholastica and other sites. And now, Freely Educate is giving a chance for its readers to win a free Kindle. Oh, I just hope that’s me! I’ve been wanting to have a Kindle for sometime now. If you want to have an opportunity to win a free Kindle, then visit FreelyEducate.com now!

Hopefully then, we could spare a day or two just for an educational tour for the kids and maybe visit the museum, heritage sites or trade show displays. But I wonder, when would that next time be?  

I love Chrome’s Zoodles. It’s indeed a safe, educational ‘playground’ for the kids. So every weekend I let my kids explore the virtual ‘playground’ for an hour.

You can create an account for each of your child and they can surely play educational games that are appropriate for their age. * The games are not simply games but it promotes a certain subject or certain skill. * No Ads or unnecesary chatting * It’s safe and you can be assured that your child won’t accidentally... 

Kids are always curious right? Being curious is somehow a good sign since we then know that they are thinking .. As a mom of 2 kids, I’ve already encountered a lot of their curious questions though some of these need thorough answers but then, sometimes we have to simply some stuff according to how much they can understand.

They more they ask, the more they get answers and therefore, they learn more.
