The past few weeks our family has been busy preparing a new resource website for homeschooling parents.

AppsforHomeschooling.com is written by me (Jennifer Bogart) for homeschoolers, by a homeschooler. I’m a homeschooling mom of four, 8 months – 8 years. I’m an app-loving, aspiring geek dedicated to helping you hunt down the best homeschooling apps (iPhone/iPod/iPad) for your children. There are a lot of apps out there, let me help you narrow them down.

There are SO many apps out there now, how can you know which ones are worth your time and money?  Which are best for certain subjects and certain grades?  Our website is clearly organized to help you find what you’re looking for!

Our Apps for Homeschooling facebook page and twitter account list free apps every day, deep discounts, news, and more.

The MOST exciting news though, is that this week Apps for Homeschooling is having a week-long Grand Opening this week!  With over 30 giveaways and more than $260 worth of free download promo codes to giveaway, this is an event you won’t want to miss!

You can find the full list of giveaways at the main Grand Opening page – and stay tuned, more giveaways are being added EVERY day!

Sooo…I’ve started a new website!  Apps for Homeschooling just launched last week but we already have many great reviews and giveaways planned – both in the week to come and for our grand opening, September 12th-16th.

In fact – we already have a giveaway in progress – it is open until Thursday night (September 1st) and is for promo codes (that means FREE downloads) of Park Math – a great app for Kindergarten early math studies.  So, head on over to enter and don’t forget to sign up for email or RSS updates in the right hand sidebar – there are many more giveaways scheduled!

Happy educating!

I’m happy to announce that we are taking part in Notebookingpages.com’s 5th Birthday Sale-a-Bration! We participated last year, and we’re so happy to be taking part in the festivities again!

From today until May 27th, when you order a NotebookingPages.com Treasury membership (or renew) you receive a package of free items ($70 value), including our recently released Copying the Poems: The Voice of Spring – HWT 3-A ($4.95) AND get a chance to win exciting prizes!

Basically, their entire collection plus updates for a year and three months (well over $400 if the pages were bought separately) is on sale for $52.46 – this is a truly amazing value – better even than last year!  All of their bundled products are also 25% off!

We own a membership and it is great.  My daughter really likes to look at all the sheets and pick out which one she’d like to use – for history, science, geography, composer study, you name it!  I plan to plumb this collection more deeply this year now that my oldest has really discovered notebooking !

This is an even better sale than last year, and I love the additions to their product line that they have made – 3D notebooking – notebooks with mini-books built in – very neat!

This is a great addition to ANY homeschool, it works across all subject areas and we’ve personally found that notebooking GREATLY increases retention!

You can BUY IT HERE!

Enjoy!

The savings are incredible!

These 225 titles would retail for $2495.75!

The digital files would cost $648.80!

BUT until the end of today you can buy them all for only $99.95 AND get a free copywork book from us to boot!

That is less than $0.45 for each book!

Don’t take my word for it though, check out all the details for yourself HERE!

And remember – today is the last day!

May God continue to bless you and your homeschool richly!

Many of you are familiar with Yesterday’s Classics, the re-publisher of many excellent, classic, living books for children.  Of these 225 titles many have been recommended and included in various literature-based curriculum packages for their charming content, excellent writing styles, and educational storylines that build character and teach at the same time.

Our family has personally enjoyed these classic titles for years, and has even made some copywork based on Yesterday’s Classics titles.

I’m so excited to announce that our family business has partnered with Yesterday’s Classics to bring you a free digital copy of Among the Farmyard People by Clara Dillingham Pierson (the original book that we have designed copywork to complement)!

Click here for your free copy of Among the Farmyard People, and check out the INCREDIBLE savings on classic, children’s living books that we are able to offer our friends & customers until Saturday, Feb. 05!

As an added bonus, if you decide to purchase this incredible, high quality collection of ebooks, we’ll also include Copying the Classics: Among the Farmyard People – ZB 1-A for free with your order.  This copywork book includes 21 character building copywork lessons for beginning printers drawn from Among the Farmyard Children and scripture (KJV).

I’m so excited to see these classic titles moving into the new era of technology.  You can literally save thousands of dollars while building a rich library for your homeschool by purchasing the entire collection of Yesterday’s Classics at a deep discount – less than $0.50 per title! You’ll never be able to beat that price!

Feel free to share this link with other homeschooling families who would like to take advantage of this amazing offer as well – we don’t want to keep this a secret!

I hope you enjoy these books as much as our family comes, and reap the joy of learning that reading great literature together creates.  If you have any questions, let me know, I’m happy to help!

God bless!
