Homeschool Rewards Zone brings you the latest additions to one family's rewarding experiences of homeschooling simply.

Issue #017 ~October 2010~

1) Book Nook

Draw-Write-Now is a book that the children really liked. Book One is geared toward the younger grades. They'll learn how to draw simple cats, dogs, a number of farm animals, and even people. They were always making a number of things with their new found skills, including birthday cards!

Do you have a favorite home school book? If you do, let us all know!

2) Brain Teaser

Mr. Jones was watching the clock, trying to figure out the number of times the hands of a clock cross each other over a period of one day (24 hours).

(Answer at bottom.)

3) Helpful Homeschool Hints

Take time before bed to read to your children. When ours were young, Dad usually read to the older ones when I was busy with the baby! It gave him a chance to spend some quality time with them and they loved it!
