Homeschooling in the Summer

El Cheapo Summer
No money for camp? Not a penny for vacation? How will you and the kids ever survive the summer? By Annette Berlin.

Just For the Summer
Your son or daughter didn't do too well in school this past year and you want to help them catch up so that they will pass along to the next grade in September. You have heard of this educational alternative called homeschooling and you are wondering if this community can help.

Homeschool Summer Camps

Summer Camp at Home
If going off to summer camp has all the appeal of going to a boarding school, here are some wild suggestions of ways you can have a camp experience at home and in your nearby community. Where will you head first in our virtual summer camp?

New Search Tool!

We are now using the Google Collaborative Search Engine. Now you will be able to search not only this site, but also the A2ZHomeschool Blogs AND other homeschool sites which agree to also set up such a search on their site to find relevant pages on THIS site as well as their own. As the weeks go on, you'll find more and more sites relevant to homeschoolers will show up in your on-site searches, not only here but on our collaborative sites, too. Many of the members of the Homeschool Webmasters Yahoo Group are modifying their sites to get ready for this change.

Out with the Old. In with the New!

Yahoo pulls the plug on GeoCities

Yahoo pulls the plug on GeoCities
SAN FRANCISCO, April 23 (Reuters) - Yahoo Inc (YHOO.O) is shutting down GeoCities, a free service that hosts personal home pages for consumers, which it acquired for more than $4 billion 10 years ago during the heyday of the dotcom boom.

This is a head's up for all of you with homeschool support group or personal sites on Geocities, and there are a whole lot of you! I have provided a free Wordpress blog service where you can move your content to. It is called A to Z Homeschool. Join first and then create your blog. There are many templates to chose from, and yes, you may sell Amazon books or have other homeschool-related ads on your site if you want, or to be ad-free.

I, too, am pulling the plug on geocities sites where the content does not appear to have been updated in years or an email to the contact person bounces. Though I will attempt to see if the group is "lively" on another site, I could miss, and delete your group. You will need to send me an email with your new URL, and which state and subheading it needs to be placed under.

Working & Single Parents

Working from Home and Homeschool
Replies to the question: Any suggestions from those of you that do work at home or know someone that does. I would like to have an honest business, something that I could be proud of!

Make financial goal setting and budgeting a family affair. If everyone in the family agrees on a goal, it's easier for the whole family to do what it takes to meet that goal. By Elisabeth Donati.
