Fostering a Love for Learning

If any of you reading our blog homeschool, you may be like me and find yourself wanting new, fun and creative ideas for your kids, to keep things fresh and make learning fun. I know I do! So, in an effort to share what has been kindly shared with me, I thought I would post some websites that I have found helpful on here.

I've found many good exercises for the kids on a website a teacher friend of mine told me about. It has links for many ages and subjects. It is a lot to take in, with tons of links, but it has a lot of free, good material!

I found the poetry we are using through that same website. It is called 30 days of poetry. The direct link to it is:

The website below is also good. I found a lesson on the Tell-Tale Heart for Mason that I want to do very soon. I passed it on to a friend of mine and she went through it already with her daughter and said it was great. There are lessons for all ages.

Hope you find this info helpful! I plan to post other fun activities I find on here, and would ask that if you have any ideas or websites that you would like to share, please feel free to leave them in the comment section, so others might benefit from them as well!
