Last Day to Enter Our Big Giveaway!

Today is the final day of our big re-launch giveaway! 

Come on over to the new site and enter to win one of 10 fabulous prizes. 

Want to know what the prizes are?

1. A Completer Set of Math-U-See blocks.  We don’t use Math-U-See, but I love having the blocks to use with the kids to help make math concepts more hands on.

2. Shoot & Sprout, Buzz & Bite Program (Instructor’s) Guide from Winter Promise.  While we have not used this specific program from Winter Promise, we did start using Winter Promise’s social studies program this year and have really enjoyed it.  This prize doesn’t include any books, just the program guide.  This is a science program recommended for 1st through 4th grade.

3. Handwriting Without Tears’ Pre-K  Get Set for School and Get Set for School Teacher’s Guide.  The Handwriting Without Tears program is what my boys’ occupational therapist recommended, and we have been enjoying it.  Okay, so we’ve been enjoying it as much a boys enjoy handwriting.

4. The Pioneer Woman Cooks: Recipes from an Accidental Country Girl.  I loved this book so much that I gave it out as a Christmas gift quite a few times this past year.  Yum-o!  This cookbook is not only visually appealing, but my Mom sat down and read it like a novel.

5. Gardening Mama for the Nintendo DS.  We are all gamers of one level or another at our house.  My kids all love this Gardening Mama game!  (And, apparently Santa forgot that the kids already owned it and brought another copy that has remained sealed.)

6. Crafter’s Devotional: 365 Days of Tips, Tricks, and Techniques for Unlocking Your Creative Spirit (hardcover book).  I’m a crafter, and I love the wide variety of ideas in this book!

7. A Half Dozen Set of Felt Cookies made by me!  The cookies in the link were for my daughter for Christmas, but I’ll make an all new set for you.

8. The Complete Guide to Getting and Staying Organized: *Manage Your Time *Eliminate Clutter and Experience Order *Keep Your Family First.  I don’t know if you’re like me, but I love getting organized (or at least trying to get organized).  This book is by Karen Ehman, a homeschooler who I have been thrilled to be able to see speak in person at Hearts at Home a couple of different times.

9. A set of four train stamps (set B1132 – CC Train Set) from Close to My Heart – These are the kind that need an acrylic block to stick to.  They are super cute and would be great for cards or scrapbooking (which is another thing I love).

10. A $10 Amazon.com Gift Certificate – Who doesn’t love shopping on Amazon, right?  I know I do!

If you're interested in any of these prizes (or all of them), make sure to come to the all new Homeschool Classroom before tonight (Saturday) at 11:59 pm EST.

Just as a reminder -- this blog and feed are no longer active.  Please visit our new site and feed for our current home.

Don't Forget the Sprinkles

One of our new writers, Dana, wrote a post at the new Homeschool Classroom today titled "Don't Forget the Sprinkles."  It's the kind of post that I think all homeschoolers should read, and I know that I smiled the whole time I was reading it, while shaking my head "yes."

I hope that The Homeschool Classroom is one of those sprinkles in your life, and that you'll come and visit us in our new location.  If you subscribe by feed reader or email, this is the link to update to the new feed or email subscription.

Remember -- if you stop by before Saturday late night, you can enter to win one of ten prizes (with multiple ways to win)!

Hope to see you there!
