Don’t EVEN tease me like that….we’d drop any plans in a second to host you guys! Wouldn’t that be a blast? The girls would be totally pumped. Well, we can dream can’t we? My gypsy blood has been bubbling up again and I’ve THOUGHT about traveling somewhere with my little people but it just ain’t gonna happen…

Thanks SO much, Jana! I will! You need to write me up a post about all the cool homeschooling sites…I know you’ve sure introduced me to many good ones.

Gina, glad you shared what you’re doing. Those NE states always get mixed up in my mind…Mass., Conn., etc. This geography game is good for that! I’ve been meaning to start teaching the state capitals as we go, quizzing them at least. Wish we could visit all the states this year…wouldn’t that be nice? My mom did that with us kids, hit all the states except Hawaii and Alaska. Unfortunately, I was only 2 years old. :O) I don’t remember much of that history lesson!

This site has oodles of great educational stuff. My girls currently fancy themselves detectives and there are tons of mystery solving things as well as lots of brain stretching and just plan fun stuff in this catalog! I could spend a fortune making my kids smart!

We’re studying the states as well and I didn’t think of writing a small report for each state. I was going to let them pick a state at the end for a BIG report, but I love the idea of outlining the states and writing something on each state!

Since we’ve only started and we’re finishing up the New England States, I think I’m going to add this since I’m trying to make their learning more hands on!

Jana, tell me more! What’s it called? Sounds great. I just got a new Love to Learn catalog, and am going through it with a pen!

I hear you on the Christmas list. At least they’ll get educational gifts from their parents, right? ;O)
