Homeschool Shananagins

Wow, I am very surprised that I remember to write this Friday!!! Not that I have anything interesting or enlightening to say but at least I am doing what I said!
One thing I am starting to buy Ellis's home school things the list has boiled down to this:
Mammoth Math
Growing with Grammar and Soaring with Spelling  by JacKris publishing 
Handwriting Without Tears
Reading Eggs
Elemental Science 
US History -  I also would like to utilize this page from PBS: Freedom: A History of US
I am also going to buy a book called The US history Cookbook delicious recipes and Exciting Events from the past, & Children's encyclopedia of American History and various other books. Ellis wants more BOB books so we might get the 1st grade level for that too.

I  have a lot of exciting field trips planned, and I have been reading chapter books out loud. I have been picking ones that have movies "attached" to them Like James and the Giant Peach, Charlie and the Chocolate factory, Matilda, Harry Potter. When we are done with the book we have a "movie night sleep over" get in our jammies, cuddle up with some popcorn on the couch and watch our special movie. I lvoe doing this and I think the kids are really enjoying it to!   

I know, I know this is pretty damn boring post for most people. But I need to stay organized some how....so there. I am excited about a drawing I entered I have a chance to win the Books from JacKris Publishing!! It's through SecularHomeschool.com  the link to the drawing: is Here! Cross your fingers and toes guys, I would love to win this!!!

When there is "one thing" your excited about there has to be a second thing right? Or you will leave your audience on the edge of their seats wait for the second and that's not nice.
The SECOND thing I am excited about is........Has anyone watched  Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations?!!!!! I know this show is old but this girl does not have cable, so when it was new I only watched a few episodes here and there. Well, netflix has made it possible for me to be obsessed with Mr. Bourdain! How can I not be?! He love the Ramones, goes to crazy exotic places and eats really neat food!!! I swear I would eat fish for him!! :-D  If you haven't watched it check it out! Seriously, I bet, you will love him like I do. But I called dibs first so back off.

Well, this has been a lovely addition of my Friday ramblings. Peace.
