The Notebooking Publisher

May 24, 2012 By: amyswandering2 Comments

I had a little (ok, BIG) project planned for summer: learn how to create my own notebooking pages!

I wanted pages that were very specific to what we will be studying next year, but I was NOT looking forward to the time involved.

I attended a little Facebook party on Tuesday night that changed my plans!    The party was to introduce The Notebooking Publisher.

The Notebooking Publisher has 100s of templates that will allow me to completely customize our pages. It is easy enough to use that my kids will even be able to create their own pages however they want!

But wait… there’s more! The Notebooking Publisher is part of the NotebookingPages Treasury Membership.

A Treasury Membership gives you access to everything on the NotebookingPages site.  EVERYTHING!

Your membership includes updates every 4-6 weeks. And get this – you ALWAYS have access to the pages. If your membership expires, you will no longer get the updates with new pages. Yearly renewal is only $29.95.

Through tomorrow (MAY 25th), the Treasury Membership is on sale for only $56.21 (25% off) when you use code happy6th  + get 3 months FREE!          (Publisher goes live in June)

I just purchased my membership & can’t wait to get started!!

Top 10 Websites I Use for Homeschooling

May 22, 2012 By: amyswandering2 Comments

I am participating in iHomeschool Network’s 10 in 10 Blog Hop!

This week is the Top 10 websites I use for homeschooling. Since my blog is all about free homeschool resources, it was really hard to choose!!

Activity Village – This is my go-to site for fun educational printables! They are constantly adding new pages and have something for just about every holiday.

KizClub – You have to pay attention on this site or you will miss some of the goodies. When you click on a category, a blue box will appear on the left with links to all the pages in that category. My favorite section is Stories & Props.

Little Giraffes – Great ideas for monthly themes!

SparkleBox –  There are so many printable units here! My favorites are the Creative Writing Templates.

A to Z Teacher Stuff – Lesson plans galore!

New Beginnings – Home to my favorite free homeschool planner. Check out their blog for some great freebies.

Teaching That Makes Sense – We have used several of these free writing guides.

Edupics – If you need a specific coloring page, you will probably find it here.

Nature Detectives – Wonderful printables & activities for your nature journal!

The Well-Trained Mind Forums – This place is a wealth of information and I have been gleaning from it for years.

Are you a link junky too? Check out my 20+ homeschool boards on Pinterest!!

What are your favorites?

Cut & Paste for 3-year-olds

May 2, 2012 By: amyswandering3 Comments

My little Sweetpea loves to do school like the big kids.

She especially loves anything that involves getting to use a glue stick!

She will carefully apply the glue and line up her pictures just so.

Since the alternative to her being covered in glue is to tear through the house like a mini tornado, I give her Cut & Paste activities to work on while I am helping the older kids with math or reading.

I cut. She pastes 🙂

I am thinking about creating some of my own for her to work on. Is anyone interested in me sharing them here? Free, of course! 😉
