Carnival of homeschooling - September 13, 2011

Welcome to the September 13, 2011 edition of carnival of homeschooling.


In reading the entries submitted to this Carnival of Homeschooling, I got to thinking about the different ways you can categorize homeschooling.  Then, I got to thinking that it's pretty darn impossible to categorize.  After all, homeschooling isn't a segment of our lives, it IS our lives and to me homeschooling is more like living and breathing and less like a thing we do.

Regardless, I did my best to present this carnival in bite size pieces giving you home stuff, school stuff, somewhere in between stuff, and other valuable stuff.  Enjoy!

As a little bonus, I am including some FREE KINDLE BOOKS you can use in your homeschooliing journey.  You don't need a Kindle to use them.

This list of the twenty oldest books of all time offers a look at the thought process of early civilizations and represent the cultural heritage of us all."
