Hi ,
Now that wrestling season is over, I think I will finally have a life again :) My husband is a high school wrestling coach and we try to be as supportive as possible, which means that we spend a lot of Saturdays in gyms.With that season over and Spring just around the corner, we are itching to get some seeds in the ground. My son already has a flat of tiny plants that he has been tending for a week or so.
I have a lot to share with you today, so sit back and enjoy these resources :)
Homeschool Typing Giveaway! - I recently reviewed Keyboard Classroom at http://www.homeschool-how-to.com/homeschool-typing.html We have been using this program all year and have really enjoyed it. It was developed by teachers 23 years ago, so it has been well tested.
The president has agreed to give me a free dual license program to award to one of my readers! Here are the ways you can enter to win: "Like" Homeschool How To on facebook at http://www.facebook.com/pages/Homeschool-How-To/157509874301930 (make sure you reply to this email and tell me you have done this) and write a review of your favorite homeschool curriculum or book at http://www.homeschool-how-to.com/homeschool-curriculum-reviews.html You just enter your review at the bottom of the page.

How to Teach a Foreign Language - After having a difficult time finding an affordable and successful foreign language program I decided to write my own. It's not fancy, but it's simple, affordable, and easy to implement. Here is some information about it - http://www.homeschool-how-to.com/homeschool-foreign-language.html. I have started writing for Teacher's Notebook, so that page will take you to my link at Teacher's Notebook where you can purchase that ebook, but also see the rest of my free resources that you can just download there.
Silent E Explained - Here's a great article written by Marie Rippel creator of All About Reading and All About Spelling that tells all about the 5 reasons for silent E - Silent E explained
Sorry to be so long winded, but I had a lot of things I wanted to share with you this time. I hope you have a good week!
