Home Schooling Information
That I have found!!
Well, to get you started here is a list of books that I have read that really helped me with this Home Educating thing!...
Home Educating with Confidence - Boyer
Home Spun Kids - Moore
A Survivor's Guide to Home Schooling - Shackelford & White
The HomeSchool Reader - Hegener
The HOW and WHY of Home Schooling - Ballman
Home Grown Kids - Moore
You CAN Teach Your Child Successfully - Beechick
Coming Home to Raise your Children - Field
School at Home Teach your own child - Ingeborg U.V. Kendall
No matter how many books you read, you will still be faced with something that wasn't covered in ANY of the books that you read! Find a support group, or someone to talk to that can help you through those rough times! (We all go through them, and we need to be there for each other in times of despair!)
I also wanted to give an e-mail address for those of you that might be interested in some of the "Lists" that are available out there to find some support! Here are a few of the support groups that I have found to be "USER FRIENDLY"...
For Alabama - AICSAIf you want to know ALL there is to know about homeschooling in Alabama, THIS is the place to go!!!!! Just suscribe and you are there!
AHEN - (Just type subscribe in the body!)
For ALL Home Schoolers - HSTUAC - (Then for HSTUAC, type in the body as many as you'd like to join...)

There are a LOT of Lists out there! If you have a specific area that you would like to know of a support list in, please e-mail me at: momma sears direct
NOW, I am working on a list of some Home Educating webpages that I can put here that will help us in Home Educating our children, whether it is Curriculum/Supplies needs we have, Information we need (laws, requirements, teaching different ages...), a School we are looking for, or Resources we desire!!! If anyone has one of this type of webpage, please let me know via e-mail or sign it on my guestbook for all to see! There are a LOT of Home Educating web pages out there to guide us and help us!!! For starters, check these out:
AICSA
Pathways
The Learning Home
Core Knowledge
Education Index
AHEN
There is also a web site I was just notified of, it is not a "Home Schooling" site, but, I have found it to be very interesting and could be helpful for some of us! That page is titled "Lessons 4 You". Check it out, I am SURE you will be pleased with what you find.
