Welcome back to Finishing Strong!
Finishing Strong is the premier weekly link-up dedicated to families homeschooling middle & high school kids.
I am so excited for this new school year. My son will be in eighth grade and my daughter will be a sophomore in high school. While they are more independent than ever before, I am committed to homeschooling each through their high school years.
After a hiatus for summer, my co-hosts – Heather from Blog She Wrote, Megan from Education Possible, and Heidi from Starts at Eight – and I are back for another year. We look forward to collaborating with one another and with you, our readers, to celebrate the successes and find support during struggles of homeschooling the middle and high school years.
A Full Year of Hands-on Science
The back to school season is upon us and I am celebrating with an August Super Sale! For the first time, I have bundled each of my 10-week life science curriculum eBooks and for this month only, have made it available to you for a discount of more than 50% off.
Purchased separately, each title in this bundle is priced at $19.90 – but you can get all 3 now for just $27 !
Finishing Strong
We hope you’ll take some time to check out the amazing posts that have been shared with us. We are so thankful to all of our readers and contributors who help make Finishing Strong a key resource for everyone homeschooling through the middle & high school years.
Below are some of the posts I enjoyed from last week, as well as the one that received the most clicks (in the #1 spot). Did I choose one of your favorites?
Make a Four Year Homeschool High School Plan
from Heather at Blog She Wrote ~ Her first piece of advice is spot on, “You have to know what your state requires for homeschoolers to graduate.”
Eight Out-of-the-Box College Essay Topics
from Kim at WriteShop ~ My daughter is only a sophomore in high school and while she may not actually need to write a college admissions essay (she plans to transfer from a junior college with an associates degree), it is always good to be prepared. Besides, these essay topics just look fun!
Five Ways to Include Dad in Homeschooling
from Leah at Bright Ideas Press ~ “Making a point of [getting Dad involved] can give dads a sense of ownership and connection with the family’s homeschooling.” So true! In our homeschool, Dad is our go-to for conflict resolution, personal management / finance, and skills related to home and auto maintenance. When my daughter begins college level chemistry, you can bet he will take a key role as her tutor as well.
