School and sickness

We've been taking it easy the last couple of weeks as the flu goes through the house.  As I teach everyone together regardless of ages, it makes it hard to teach if one is absent.  As the flue is slowly moving through the house we've decided to just ease up on school and wait until all is well.  Just curious how the rest of you respond when sickness hits your house.

The Crafty Classroom is giving away a pop-up Christmas book and a talking Jesus.  Head over to her blog to sign up.  What a great Christmas gift!

Knowledge Box Central

Knowledge Box Central   We have been homeschooling for 12 years.  I have used many different curriculum and educational resources throughout the years.  But I have so enjoyed using the Exploring God's Creation Sciences the last 3 years along with the Lapbooks and Lapbook Journals that Knowledge Box Central has created to go along with them.  I have many different types of learners (as can be imagined with 6 kids) and the Journals especially let all of them enjoy.  I have some who like to be creative so we use the Lapbook portion.  Others like to just get it done, so we use the journal portion.  I like that the questions are written out so they can turn in their books without have to keep turning back to the page to re-read the questions.  I have really enjoyed these products and hope you do to.
