As a blogger I have lots of resources up my sleeve to keep my blogs updated and interesting.  One of those things is Blog Energizer.com

One this website you get lots of great resources to share with your readers, and today I got word about a fantastic product and they are giving away a great Back to School package.  Now, I know what you’re thinking ‘But this is a HOME schooling website, we don’t GO “Back to school’!”.   This is true, however, these labels, even the Back to school ones, will be useful even for us homeschooling crowds!

As any parent knows, our children’s safety is our highest priority.  That’s why when I ran accross this free Safety Kit from ADT, I had to tell everyone about it.  The kit comes with a guide on teaching your children how to be safe both in the real world and online, a cool fingerprint kit, a magnet, a reflective sticker for kids to wear in the dark, and games, too.  This is for any child that is 14 years old or younger, one kit per child.  It takes about 4 – 6 weeks to receive in the mail.  But I think it’ll be well worth the wait.

Here are some great free resources for homeschoolers that I found throughout the internet.  Just click on the links and it will take you to the site for more information on the free resource.  I hope you enjoy!

Time4Learning has created a great new resource for new homeschoolers, Welcome To Homeschooling A Guide for Families.  You can download the entire booklet for free from their website for FREE!  I love free stuff!  This guide is for people thinking about or new to homeschooling.  It is written by Time4Learning and some homeschooling moms that work with Time4Learning.

Here’s some of the things you can find in the booklet:

• Learn Your Reasons for Homeschooling
• Understand Your Child Academically
• Plan Your Year/Day
• Homeschooling Glossary
• And more…

This is a PDF download, and inside there are plenty of links to great websites and resources that are clickable.  This is definitely a good resource to have on hand.  although not as in depth as other books, it’s a good introduction.  Of course you’ll find plenty of advertising for Time4Learning within the booklet, but considering I find them to be a good curriculum, I’m ok with that.
