Homeschool Meme

I've been tagged for a homeschooling meme by Studeo.

One homeschooling book you've enjoyed:
Homeschooling for Excellence, by David and Micki Colfax (the first and most interesting book I read about homeschooling). After this one I read every homeschooling how-to book my library system offered until the information became pretty repetitious.

Resources I won't live without:
Computer and internet
art supplies
car
library and interlibrary loan
globe
heavy duty stapler
3-hole punch
electric pencil sharpener (especially for colored pencils)

Resources you wish you had never bought:
none

Resources you enjoyed last year:
library
Some of the Montessori bead material shown here.
Weigh Too base ten materials (I don't see the exact product listed anymore).
a local homeschooling art class
Spanish story time at the library
soccer, T-Ball, swimming, ballet
educational videos on various subjects (library)
homeschool blogs and message boards
conversations with homeschooling parents about homeschooling
conversations with non-homeschoolers who are curious about homeschooling

Resources you'll be using this year:
Explode the Code books (phonics)
modeling clay and other art supplies
library
internet
math manipulatives
try EPGY for math
(charter school will pay for it -- it's expensive)
robot kit,
another robot kit

Resources you'd like to buy:
Story of the World
Latina Christiana
microscope
high speed internet access

One resource you wish existed:
Perhaps most of them exist already or could be created by one of us.

Homeschool catalogs you enjoy reading:
none (I don't get any)

One homeschooling website you use regularly:
Varies from year to year. It used to be Playschool 6 (Montessori homeschoolers). Now it is the 4 Real Learning board.
