Attention All Homeschoolers

I was lucky enough to get to attend the national conference of the Public Library Association which just happened to be in Portland this year, and got to attend a session on Homeschooling. Thanks to Lisa Way and Susie Hetzel of the Mid-Continent Public Library in Kansas City, MO and Adrienne Furness of the Webster Public Library in Webster, NY for this information which I am posting word for word. For those of you parents teaching your kids at home, here are some websites you might try:

  • NASA For Students The ultimate space science resource geared just for kids

  • Olga's Gallery Loads of rolyalty free pictures of masterpieces from great artists throughout the centuries

  • dso Kids Lots of games, lesson plans, and musical sound bites sponsored by the Dallas Symphony Orchestra

  • Easy Fun School Great program starters with dozens of themes and free lesson plans in a range of subjects

  • Extreme Science Great multimedia source for everything science...just for kids!

  • Owl & Mouse Megamaps Great maps for lessons in geography, world cultures and cartography
