I am going to change the address of this site to southmeadowacademy.com. I am not sure how that will affect the feed. I will let you know.
I do have some posts planned for later today. My start-up with this site was delayed due to illness.
A Couple of Free Homeschooling Resources
I love all of the free homeschooling resources available on the internet.
If it wasn’t for all of those colorful homeschool catalogs I receive every year, and can’t seem to resist, I would be tempted to try homeschooling using only free web resources.
Here are a couple:
Scott Foresman offers grammar and writing handbooks for grades 1 through 6 in PDF for free.
Evan-Moor offers free lesson plans for pre-K through grade 6 and clip art, also in PDF, each month.

More Math Links
To help my boys strengthen their multiplication tables, I downloaded a game called Timez Attack. The boys really liked it because it has high-quality graphics that look like a “real” video game.
Another great math resource I found is a website called Math Playground. It has math games, printable worksheets, manipulatives, and other math resources.

Cyberchase Lesson Plans
You may already know that PBS has a show that teaches math skills, targeted to children in grades 3-5, called Cyberchase.
But did you know that the PBS website also has math lesson plans designed to correspond to the different episodes of the show?
What a fun way to teach elementary math skills.

Welcome!
Welcome to my new blogging endeavor.
I decided that I wanted to start a site where I could catalogue our homeschooling adventures and share lesson plans, resources and tips with other homeschoolers.
I found that my personal blog, All Things Hold Together, was more of a homekeeping blog, rather than a homeschooling blog. And I wanted a place that was focused just on homeschooling.
So here it is!
South Meadow Homeschool Academy is what the boys and I call our school, when we are pretending that it is a real school school.
While we don’t do school at home, we sometimes like to play school. Kind of like kids do. It’s fun!
