What are your kids doing this summer? How about earning some FREE books?!
Every year, Barnes and Noble offers school children up to grade 6 the chance to earn up to two free books each. The only catch is, they can only pick from a particular list of books, it's not just any book in the store. But they usually have a very good selection, so it's not too bad to be limited. There is a good group of books that are suitable for 3-4 age groups, so everyone can be happy. The best thing about the B&N reading program is that ANY and all books qualify to be put on the reading list, unlike most library programs which usually require that you read library books. Just write down the book title, author and a little bit about the book for a total of 8 books, take it to the store and they will give you the certificate you need to get your free book. Best of all - each child can do it TWICE over the summer!Most stores will have the papers you need to fill out available in the store, but if they don't, you can go RIGHT HERE and print out a copy for yourself. You will need Adobe Reader because they are in PDF format.Labels: freebie, reading

This week's FREEBIE at Homeschool eStore: Respected American Women
This week's freebie offering at Homeschool eStore sounds really interesting: a "Respected American Women" lapbook/notebook. This lapbook is a study of Respected American Women. These women were chosen, not because of a great "thing" that the accomplished, necessarity...but because they faced great persecution and/or hardship and came through that with honor, respect, and integrity. These are the kinds of women that you would want your daughters to imitate. There are 19 booklets, including Rosa Parks, Wilma Rudolph, Maya Angelou, Harriet Tubman, Nellie Bly, Sally Ride, Hellen Keller, Ann Judson, and so much more. Includes all instructions and also information about what to put in each booklet, including internet links for further research.
Available this week only at Homeschool eStore.

Works For Me Wednesday AND your homeschool freebie!
This week is the "Kitchen Edition" of Works For Me Wednesday, so we're supposed to share kitchen tips. Here's a simple one that's taken me a long time to learn. (Yeah, I'm slow that way! LOL) If you use a dish, cup, spoon, etc. for something that is easily rinsed off, GO AHEAD AND DO IT. Don't throw it in the sink to wash later. If you just measured some salt in that spoon, there' s no need for a full soap and water wash. Just rinse it off and stick it in the drainer! Those two or three seconds you take now (even if you're busy) will save you considerably more seconds later, not to mention space in the sink, effort of fully cleaning the item (after it's been in the sink and hit with who-knows-what from other actually dirty dishes) and the soap water you have to expend on a totally dirty item. It's a simple idea, but hard-learned for me!Go check out Shannon's blog for lots more kitcheny ideas this week!~~~~~~~~~~And here is this week's Homeschool eStore freebie: an audio book called "Little Is Big", set in an ocean environment. Sounds really cute for the younger kids! Be sure to get it at Homeschool eStore, this week only.Labels: freebie, Works For Me Wednesday
