Share Your Homeschooling Stories
Hand In Hand would like to feature your homeschool story in our
new Personal Reflections section.
Funny or sad, fellow homeschool parents can empathize. So,
tell us how you handle it when your kids called your bluff after you threatened to put them in school if they didn't do their work?
What's your workable solution when you can't get the kids away from the legos? How do you find time to help your 9 year old
learn math when you've got a 2 year old demanding your attention? How much is too much time on the computer for your teen, who can't
get enough time with friends? Send us your story today.
Online Curriculum Fair
If you're still looking for curricular materials for the coming school year, take a look at our
newly expanded Resource section. You'll find loads of links for homeschool resources, including free year-long
history high school courses. Don't forget to check out Foreign Language resources in the
Other Subjects Section.
You may be pleasantly surprised with what you find that's free.
We'll be continuing to add new resources, so if you know of a great
homeschool product or web-site let us
know so we can add it to the list.
