Creepy Crawlies Printables
At my grandson's first birthday party, I spotted this baby praying mantis. It was about 1/2" in length and was just the cutest thing. After showing all the kids and then snapping his picture, I gently shoo'd him away so we could eat. Have fun learning all about insects and other creepy crawlies with these fun printable pages.

Reflections on being homeschooled.
Kate Fridkis wrote I Was Homeschooled: What it Taught Me That a Classroom Never Could. She starts with:
----------
I didn't go to preschool. And then I didn't go to kindergarten. And after that I didn't go to elementary school. Or middle school. Or high school, even. I was homeschooled.
I say "unschooled" sometimes, to differentiate myself from the 80% of homeschoolers who educate at home for religious reasons. I was unschooled, and I felt really lucky.
People always ask me, "Which one of your parents taught you?"
That's still the way everyone thinks about learning. There's a teacher and a bunch of students. There's an adult who knows more, and some kids who know less. And the adult stands there and tells the kids things. And the kids learn.
----------
It is a nice article. She makes many good points. If you have a friend who is thinking about homeschooling, they might find it helpful to read about what adult who were homeschooled think about homeschooling.

This week's Carnival of Homeschooling is up at Alasandra's Homeschool Blog.
The carnival starts with:
-----------
Gardening and homeschooling have a lot in common. Most gardeners research what grows well in their area, have a plan for their garden, purchase plants, then water, fertilize and prune their plants as needed. Flower beds are weeded as needed.
Homeschoolers often research homeschooling, homeschooling methods and learning styles before embarking on their homeschooling journey. Plans are made for the school year, books and supplies are purchased, lessons are taught, school work is assigned and reviewed (graded) and plans revised as needed.
-----------
The carnival continues with the posts from various blogs, along with some beautiful pictures of flowers.
Enjoy.

The Carnival of Homeschooling is up
This week's Carnival of Homeschooling is up at The Common Room.
The Headmistress had a whole challenge yesterday getting the carnival built. She writes:
----------
I have just about decided that agreeing to host a blog carnival is an invitation to bad karma, and I don't even believe in karma. Yesterday morning I had the first of two different calls to come help out with a family member in need. The second came half an hour after returning home with the first, and involved spending five hours or so in the Emergency room with my grandson The Dread Pirate Grasshopper and his mommy. The DPG had taken a tumble off a footstool and landed on his arm funny. It was swollen and he refused to use it.
It's still swollen and he still refuses to use it, and we have another doctor we know never, ever to consult for anything. I have also made myself a stench in the adorable nostrils of the DPG by holding him down for the even more dreaded x-ray machine, which he was sure would eat him alive (he is only 15 months old), because his pregnant mother could not come back to help with that task.
----------
My son had a similar problem once. The doctor showed us how to pop the elbow back into place. A couple people have made similar comments so hopefully The DPG is doing fine now.
The Headmistress does a great job with the carnival. Hopefully she will be willing to host again.

Would it be a tragedy if you lost your email?
This is not a good way to start the new year: Some Hotmail users report missing e-mails. The article starts with:
----------
"Please help me get them back," wrote one user under the moniker 'Zacgore' in a post dated Saturday. "All my kids' info and pictures are in there!"
Others complain that the majority of the e-mail in their inboxes was sent to their deleted mail folders instead. It is unclear from the posts how widespread the problem is. The free Web-based e-mail service is the world's most used with about 360 million users globally, according to comScore Inc.
----------
Today many of us use free email services like GMail, Yahoo, Hotmail and so on. The price is right. And in general the service is fine. But there is a risk you might lose your email. Would that be a problem? For most of us, yes!
I'm kicking around a solution and wondered what other people thought of it. Much of my private email goes through a GMail account. GMail has an option to forward the email and still keep the original.
This is what we do for the Carnival of Homeschooling. All the entries goes through a GMail account and are forwarded to the host for the current week. This way if there is a problem I can wade into the emails. So far we've only had one type of problem. Every once in awhile a host's spam filter will block an entry to the carnival. I go into the GMail account and dig it out.
So I am thinking of something similar. While Google is a pretty solid company and I expect they are trying to provide perfect service, there is a chance my GMail account might have troubles. Hotmail is run by Microsoft, which I am sure was trying to provide perfect service.
My solution is to enable the forwarding feature on my GMail account to a second service, like Yahoo, while keeping the original email in my GMail account. That way anything sent me to my GMail account would automatically be backed up. The odds of two major email services having trouble at the same time are pretty low.
Does anyone see a problem with this approach?

Related to Spunky's warning on tax breaks for homeschooling
Valerie Moon posted a link on Facebook to a HEM column on the Privatization of Education.
In the column Helen references a article in the Home Education Magazine: Beware of Privatization of Education: It Reduces Our Homeschooling Freedoms.
I love this line from the article:
----------
Homeschoolers can't assume that as long as they as individuals refuse to accept government money or favors, they won't be required to comply with state regulations written for homeschoolers who do accept them.
----------
Both the column and the article are worth reading.
Helen and Spunky are right. We need to keep the government out of homeschooling. Even if they start with something that will "help" us, down the road they will expand and expand their control.
To any suggestion that the government help homeschoolers, just say no!

Spunky warns against tax breaks for homeschooling
A few congressman are considering giving tax breaks for homeschoolers. In Homeschoolers and Tax Breaks, Spunky warns about allowing the camel's nose into the tent. She concludes with:
----------
It would be just like liberals to find this tax-break one they could vote for just for the benefit of finally getting homeschoolers into the federal fold and add the regulation later after homeschoolers have taken advantage of the credit. Please homeschoolers don't fall for this trojan horse and Mr. Estrada please pick up the phone and call Mr. McCluskey ASAP.

Carnival of Homeschool: Week 262 - The 5th Anniversary
Welcome to the fifth anniversary of the Carnival of Homeschooling. This is the 262th edition! It is one of the longest running weekly blog carnivals.
My wife and I are very grateful that are so many people who participate, who help promote the carnival, and who give us encouragement. We are especially appreciative of the several dozen people who take turns hosting the carnival.
The theme for this carnival revolves around quotes from the movie Princess Bride. Our family loves Princess Bride. It is one of our favorite movies. It may be one of the most quoted movies of our generation. If you start to say anywhere in the English speaking world "I don't think that word means …" Many people will be able to finish the line.
Most of the following quotes were taken from this web site: Princess Bride Quotes.
"When I was your age, television was called books."
The movie starts off with Peter Folk as the grandfather offering to read a book to his sick grandson. At first the grandson isn't that interested in something as old fashioned as books. Many homeschoolers are big time book lovers.
One family usually spends a week each semester visiting libraries. Library Story with alternat(or) ending is a report of one of the visits, written by the Home School Dad.
Marlis has a Giveaway! of a 6 set interactive science book. She has the three book set and all of her family loves learning together from it. Posted at The Itchy Homeschooler.
A consideration when there's reading trouble... is Mellisa's journey in helping her son be a better reader, posted at Bugs, Knights, and Turkeys In the Yard.
"That day, she was amazed to discover that when he was saying 'As you wish', what he meant was, 'I love you.'"
Early in the story Buttercup learns that Wesley loves her. Homeschooling often has huge portions of love. There are a huge variety of reasons for homeschooling. Trys explains a few of hers in Letting Go & Moving Forward, on her blog Trixi's HomeSchool Academy.
The NerdMom write being thoughtful about what we expose our children to in Time and Influence, from the NerdFamily Blog.
Vizzini: HE DIDN'T FALL? INCONCEIVABLE.
Inigo Montoya: You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
This is one of the most famous pair of lines from the movie. I'm using this category for those posts which I couldn't imagine putting any where else.
It is still a bit amazing to me that this is the fifth anniversary of the Carnival of Homeschooling. Sarah provides An Anniversary Perspective, from SmallWorld.
Tiffany really likes SpellQuizzer and has it available as a Giveaway, over at her blog As For My House.
Homeschooling has become more and more popular. One of the problems that comes as more and more people buy products is Curriculum Overload! (From Chrysalis Academy)
Alasandra writes that Secular doesn't mean Anti-Christian at Alasandra's Homeschool Blog.
WooHoo---Final Day of Ancient Greece by the Eclectic Momma is about the culmination of our unit on Ancient Greece complete with Mini-Metric Olympics, Greek feast and geometry.
With The Chinese Infiltration Of American Education Judy (of Consent of the Governed) has yet another reason to homeschool your children. The Communist Chinese government is now funding American public education.
First Works from Central Europe records the process a mother went through in answering some questions her daughter had, like "Why don't butterflies have eyes and ears like foxes do?" from the blog Afterschooling Expat.
Man in Black: Oh, there's something I ought to tell you.
Inigo Montoya: Tell me. Man in Black: I'm not left-handed either.
People are not always what they seem to be. This can be particularly true for Homeschoolers. Because we are a small minority, homeschoolers a
