Lisa offers up her opinions regarding education in her post Allow the Tortoise to Teach the Hare at her blog The HomeSpun Life.

Mama Squirrel, from Dewey’s Treehouse, shares her review of Planet X, a thrift store book find her family has been enjoying!

 

Tricia from HodgePodge Mom shares with us her post “Imperfect Homeschool: Drama and Trauma” saying “Every now and then when I share our weekly homeschool wrap ups or an art tutorial, I will get a comment like those above. I always think to myself… if only they knew the drama and trauma that goes on here daily. Also, remember that with a photo, you don’t get all the sensory overload that is happening at the time. The noise!”

Sharon has worked with special needs children in Occupational Therapy and she offers up suggestions for Homeschooling in our Sensory World.

 

Henry Cate, the wonderful coordinator for the Carnivals of Homeschooling, shares with us his post on the Cate Academy Year in Review- Kindergarten at Why Homeschool.

 

Celeste presents Nature Study at the Beach posted at Joyous Lessons.

9/11 Carnival of Homeschooling : In Remembrance

We are dedicating this Carnival of Homeschooling in tribute to those who lost their lives in the terrorist attack on American in 2001.

This post has many links that take you off-site to other homeschool blogs where you can read their ‘showcased’ article submission. If you would like to submit an article for a future carnival or host the carnival on your site, please see the bottom section to find out how. Each carnival writer has the option to put their compilation to a ‘theme’ if they so choose. This week’s theme is “9/11 – a Tribute” in honor of the fallen heroes of 9/11 and their loved ones.

Below you will find a varied array of interesting articles from all around the blogosphere. Some are about 9/11 – one in each section – and other posts are homeschool-related articles. In-between the submissions from all the contributing homeschool bloggers this week, you’ll find photos and/or quotes that capture some of the emotion from this event that has impacted our country and our hearts.

National Geographic has a video that shares the voices of 9/11 through the 911 calls that came in and videos that were shown that day on the news. I would suggest that you make the decision on whether your children are able to watch this based on their sensitivity and maturity levels. You know them best. Sometimes kids are not able to handle tragedy because they don’t have the coping skills that adults do. For your older kids that need a little history refresher on 9/11, this is a good source of the emotion and events of the day.
