2. One book/ resource I wouldn’t be without.
Now thats a hard one..
My Blogging Friends
Home Ed community
Google search.
4 real community and on this email list group
3. One resource you wish you never purchased
I would say the general Science Apologia. I got rid of it quick smart.
Well trained mind was a necessary read to decide I wasn’t that type of teacher and it wouldn’t suit our learning style.
4 One resource you enjoyed last year
Geography- Physical GeographyBrenda Runkle. I love Geography, and we have always looked at Geography but this book took us into a lot more depth. Brid thoroughly enjoyed it.
Now thats too hard.
The library, book depository if they are considered resources. Of course they are
Elizabeth Foss'- Literature for Young ladies ideas. We are really enjoying this collection of books.
6 One resource you would like to purchase.
A year with a Novel. We have seen it, We have it to look at. So I have touched and looked at the content. But now will we really use it to its potential.?? Brid really likes it.
An ipad and a ebook reader- its on the list.
7 One resource you wish existed.
I like Erins suggestion a Junior Didache’.
But for me.. its not until I see a need that I realise we do need it. Like the list of books for Women of History unit we are doing.
I could say Bethlehem books. – but I rarely use homeschool resources catalogues because my resources are my like minded friends, and brainstorming with them.

Thanks for the tag... Replying this weekend!
ReplyDeleteHi Leanne,
ReplyDeleteI can see Suzie's books on both our lists!
I enjoyed looking through your resources. I will have to follow up a couple of them.
And we tagged different homeschoolers! That was remarkable considering we have lots of friends in common.
Thanks for sharing your ideas.
Hi Sue,
ReplyDeleteI had a couple of the same blogging friends as you, but I changed them when I saw we had the same ones tagged, so thats why some are different.
Now to see you replies.
God Bless,
Leanne
Hi Leanne,
ReplyDeleteI felt similar about the Well Trained Mind and I quite like the Apologia zoology 1 book but I am starting to feel it is a bit textbooks rather than a living book style. So I am undecided about that resource. I think it might be a textbook wrapped up in a living book hype about it,mmmmmmmmI think it might get dropped altogether bit there are definitely wonderful parts within it, pretty sure I won't be purchasing any more.
Talk soon, warmest wishes, Renelle
Hi renelle
ReplyDeleteI like the younger series of apologia. Brid just read them through and made notes where she wanted to, but I won't be purchasing them. still trying to find a good science resource...it will appear when we need it....
I really like Nature Study for Science and think its suitable for all ages, I love it myself. I am learning so much about native bush flowers, insects and small animals in the bush atm, something I haven't paid enough attention to growing up. I find it exciting when I see a bush orchid growing in the middle of our paddock/yard!
ReplyDeleteYours is a really interesting list, Leanne. I was tempted to buy The Well-Trained Mind, a couple of years ago, but, I never did as I had a suspicion that I would be intimidated by it. I'm glad I didn't, now, as we've gone down a totally different path:)
ReplyDeleteYes Vicki,
ReplyDeleteI purchased well trained mind and felt overwhelmed myself. I purchased laura berquists Classical Curriculum book,used it as a reference and then realised I was on a different path altogether. Thanks for dropping by. Leanne
Thanks for sharing.I've never even heard of your favourite books. I must have a read if you have any to loan.

ReplyDeleteTricky, I missed your post here, was waiting at OLT&R, lol. Fascinated to read your replies. Gee you have really got me wanting to read Little Way. Hoping, hoping I'll win Sue's draw, otherwise I may just buy it:)
hi my friend Erin,
ReplyDeleteMe tricky..no..never..re the Little ways. You will just have to download it onto an ebook reader- when you get one, that way you will always have a copy. I hope you win the draw.
God Bless Leanne
