I signed up for IconBuffet and am addicted. Go. Look. Do likewise.

Don’t forget to check out our new homeschooling forums.

Tips and tricks:
TOG and HST - Last year I ran in to crunch time and didn’t have as much time to get all my information into HST+ as I will this year. So I may add more notes later, I may not. But what I did do and without a doubt will do again this year is get everything copied that I needed to copy and into notebooks ready to go. I used the Loom (at TOG) to print most of the pages instead of actually copying the pages (printing is faster than copying).

I’m going to copy and paste most of this post. I was over at 5 Kids and a Dog and I read where she mentioned I was going to comment about how I do this. This being how I input my TOG (Tapestry of Grace) lessons into HST (Homeschool Tracker Plus). Well, I didn’t forget, I just didn’t get to it as quickly as I promised her. Ooops. Sorry, MommaKnows.

I installed the sideblog plugin and a little forum plugin. I hope you likey. I call it Marginal Notes (but, of course, there are no notes - yet).

I’m thinking maybe the forum can be a place for the chilluns to “chat” and talk it up with their homeschool buddies. Maybe some TOG discussions a la the students point of view? Lesson discussions and such? Let’s see what happens; pass it on and spread it around.
