Planning the Best Homeschooling Education

Holiday Fun

Advent Calendar
December 1 - 23 up. A countdown to the Holidays with a new, fun link for children ages 5-95. Be sure to check back every day and click to see what is behind the next holiday symbol. Next day will be posted late Pacific Time the day before so that Europeans should find it there by morning.

Christmas Lesson Ideas
A Christmas curriculum.

Car Games
Playing games with kids can make a long car trip both pleasant and educational. Print this out to take along! Looking out the window, searching for objects can also help prevent car sickness. Keep the games light. It isn't winning that matters here, it is laughing in order to make a long drive pass by quickly.

Winter is Officially Here!

Like, you are on the east coast and this is NOT news!

Winter Sports KIDS
Getting Started with snow and ice sports such as ice hockey, skating, skiing, snowboarding, and sledding.

Winter Unit Study KIDS
Find out about really cold places, about the science of cold, fun in the snow, and winter tales.

Winter Olympics 2010 Unit Study KIDS
This will be an ongoing resource through the Winter Olympics in Vancouver February 12-28, 2010. I encourage you to comment and add links of interest to those studying the Olympics.

We've got Blogs and Buddy Press!

A2Z Homeschool Community
Come start a blog for yourself, your support group, or to showcase your children's writing and activities. Come talk about your new homeschool book or the product or service you'd like homeschoolers to hear about. Buddy Press is like Facebook, and interfaces with Facebook if you'd like it to. But as it stands, it is a great way to connect with your homeschool friends all over the world. Your can form your own groups, such as for your local support group. While the content of A to Z Home's Cool will remain here, and be maintained, new articles and content will be developed on the new social network site, A2Zhomeschool.com. There are a ton of templates and plugins to chose from. The new site has a page rank of 4 already. It is completely searchable from the main site, so you content is almost instantly found: no waiting in the Sandbox for Google to find your site.
