More Homeschooling Ideas

The posts near the top of this list have the most links and helps for new homeschoolers.  Needless to say, the editing features in WordPress leave much to be desired…  This is the best I can do.

I would love to have the post name with a thumbnail picture and organize it better, but I do not know how to do that.  This table is lame but I cannot easily fix it.  It is in the order of most viewed.  There are some helpful posts with links buried near the bottom too.  I might delete my side bars and just have this page, as funky as it is…  I can update this page from time when there are enough new posts.

Please Note: The comments on these posts are the most helpful with homeschooling ideas and encouragement.  Thank you to all who have taken the time to comment.

If you have suggestions on how to improve this page, please let me know!
