Child Safety Kits Help Keep Children Safe
Here is one idea for an all-stops-out full-on creative lens. What stories do you have to share? Did you ever have a child go missing--even for an hour? Can you add your own photos or drawings?

Getting Started with Home School 

Check out Charlotte Mason Companion from your local library. If you can't find it there then you can find it on Ebay or Amazon. There is alot of great information in it to help start your home schooling journey. I also recommend Abeka. It is a great program. You can check it out at www.abeka.com, you will be able to look at everything it offers.
I highly recommend these books as part of your curriculum.

About hoagyshomeschool

Hello,


 I am a home schooling mom to Jonathan and Stephanie. I am very fortunate to be able to teach my children. It is the best job in the world. I want to be able to help others that are thinking about home schooling and need more information. I am also adding other links that I feel are important to all parents. Missing Children. We can help prevent this. Please check out the Polly Klass Foundation. Our children's safety is worth it.
