Kathy's Paper Plate Stain Glass Window
  This
is a simple idea that comes from Kathy Fogarty in San Diego.
It is an easy craft that is perfect for little hands
and can be adapted for holiday crafts. She
says, "I have used this idea with my three year old daughter and it went really well.
The paper plate (stained glass) craft came from a sample someone had made."

hosted By Joe Spataro
 interview
& FREE excerpt: "The Truth About Curricula"
  In this interview, Rebecca Rupp
shares her insights on setting up your curricula. She says, "My new book is different
from my previous homeschool books in that it is organized on a grade by grade (year by
year) basis and can be used to create complete annual programs of study for kids of all
ages." In the excerpt, "The Truth About Curricula," she points out that
"One of the primary advantages of homeschooling is the ability to bypass the decreed
norm. Homeschoolers can design their own curricula, assembling resources ad using
approaches that best suit their own children’s needs." Read much more about this
along with specific recommendations and ideas. Best of all, Rebecca Rupp is a regular
participating member of our online discussion group homeschoolzone. She has a reputation
for being a fountain of great tips and specific resources. In fact, she has graciously
offered to answer specific questions on our discussion group. |
