A New Home School In Florida Giveaway!

No, this isn’t the surprise I was talking about in my previous post either! (You’ll find out more about that soon.) It’s about time for another giveaway!

Today you have an opportunity to win two Minquon Math items! Minquon math is well-loved by homeschoolers because of its unique, creative approach.

If chosen, you will win both the Lab Sheet Annotations and the Orange Book.

The Lab Sheet Annotations is basically the teacher’s manual for all of the elementary levels.

The Orange book is Level 1 which covers beginning first grade concepts.

To qualify for the giveaway you must “like” Home School In Florida on facebook and leave a comment here telling me what you like best about this site before Friday, August 12th at 12:00 pm.

One winner will be chosen at random on Saturday, August 13th and the winner will be announced Monday, August 15th.

Good luck!

Natural Art Supplies Giveaway

Terri — Wed, 09 Sep 2009 00:05:20 +0000

Since bringing Enki and other Waldorf-inspired ideas and traditions into our home, we’ve been more mindful of using natural materials in almost everything we do. We have long been mindful of the things we put into or on our bodies, and clean our home with, but we are now entering a whole new world of Waldorf-like toys, paints, crayons, modeling clay and the like.

How does one go about doing this after being entrenched in plastic toys and toxic materials? Small steps. We began with art supplies. We became more mindful of using natural and non-toxic brands, most of which are so well worth the extra money in in quality and durability. Right now we’re in the throes of revamping our toy situation. But that’s the subject for a whole new blog post or two or three or four . . .

For now though, check out Hip Mountain Mama’s inspiring blog – perfect for those of us who are incorporating more natural ways into our lives. Post a comment on her blog by the end of the month and be entered to win a bunch of cool, natural art products! Oh, and Hip Mountain Mama also has a shop by the same name.

My First Homeschool Giveaway!

Terri — Fri, 07 Aug 2009 18:07:01 +0000

Today I am going to offer a great book called Year-Round Crafts For Kids by Barbara L. Dondiego.

Here’s what Amazon says about the book:

Dondiego presents more than 100 crafts geared for children. The author’s teaching experience shines through in her designs, as she explains new concepts while ensuring fun for young crafters. Each craft lists appropriate age group, materials, and instructions, along with black-and-white illustrations and full-size pattern templates.

I love entering giveaways on other blogs and recently even won a giveaway contest on my friend Erin Goodman’s blog.

The only rules are to post a comment here by this Sunday evening at midnight. On Monday I will choose at random, and post the winner here! Good luck!

Giveaways are fun! Keep an eye out for more really soon!
