Hi all!

You will find several new articles on the Homeschooling site this week. I have started a series of lesson plans and ideas for teaching "The 39 Clues" series. The latest article is on incorporating a music lesson extension to the second book in the series titled "One False Note". You can find this article here:

There are two new lapbook reviews for products from A Journey Through Learning, on the 2010 Olympics and Valentine's Day. You can find these articles at

It's hard to believe that the Winter Olympics and Valentine's Day are in a few weeks. Time is flying by!

If you are homeschooling a preschooler you will want to read "Valentine's Day for Pre-K!". You can find this article here:

There is also a new article on great magazines for homeschool students. From Highlights to American Girl, you can find some super suggestions for fun and educational reading tools. See http://www.bellaonline.com/articles/art43824.asp
for more details.

Finally, there is a new article on articles! Actually, there is an article that has a complete list of all of the article topics you can find at the BellaOnline Homeschooling Site. This will be updated each day new articles are posted, so it will be current. This is a tool for homeschool parents to quickly check a subject area for information available. Please do go to the subject links, too. There you will find descriptions of the articles, as well as the full text and resource ideas. Find this article here:
