Homeschool Helper App

Just recently, I came across an awesome app that I had to share with you in case you haven't heard of it.  It's called Homeschool Helper.

Homeschool Helper is available at the App store, Nook Color, Android, and Amazon.  It is currently only $4.99 and worth every penny!  Why?

With Homeschool Helper, you basically get to:

• Keep track of each student by age, grade, and year.
• Keep track of attendance
• Keep track of book lists
• Keep track of field trips
• Keep track of grades
• Keep track of lesson plans

and MUCH more!  It's so nice to be able to just whip out the app and put in everything I need to keep track of everything.  I look forward to using it fully for our new homeschooling year.  The app allows you to save and back up everything then have it sent to your email so that you can print out all of your reports.  Super nifty!

There is even an instructional video to help get you started.  Everything is very easy to edit.  Another great thing about Homeschool Helper is that you get back up notifications to remind you that you didn't back up recent data.  Love it!

After purchasing this cool homeschool app, there are no subscriptions, memberships, or recurring costs!  It also includes all updates. Nice!

Have you ever heard of this app?  Would you consider using it for your homeschool?  Would love to hear from you.  I am totally excited about Homeschool Helper!

10 Educational Websites for your Homeschool

Today marks the day that our homeschool may be going through a great transition.  I am honestly unsure where we are headed as far as learning in the fall.  I am weighing my options this next time around.  Will it be online schooling?  A completely different curriculum choice?  Again, I am so unsure right now, but one thing I am sure of is that there are great educational sites we can use in the mean time. 


 Here are 10 that I have compiled after much research for my girls:

1. Ed Helper
2. Discovery Education
3. Internet Public Library
4. School Express
5. Study Stack
6. Study Spanish
7. Education Creations
8. Lesson Plan Central
9. How Stuff Works
10. Kids.Gov

There is so much out there I have actually had to start a list.  All of these are thanks to homeschool.com.

If you know of any sites that are great summer supplements, please post them below.  I am always looking for educational online resources.  Especially if they can be free.  Free is good.

Many Blessings!

Designs by Kelly

Kelly Design #1

Kelly has thoroughly enjoyed taking Fashion Design for third-fifth graders at Palaestra.  Prior to this class she was designing her own Barbie dresses but without the needle and thread.  She would even sketch them before she tried them out.  Now that she has learned how to sew it's been an amazing thing to sit back and watch.  She's not even 9 years old as of yet and can probably sew better than me.

This dress is her very first hand sewn creation from her fashion design class and we are so proud and thrilled at what she is accomplishing.  I most definitely do not want to overlook these talents as one day she could be the next Donna Karen or Vera Wang, wow you never know.

Kelly Design #2 Finished Product!

She just recently asked me if she could start a blog of her very own where she can post pictures of all her designs.  I of course love the idea.  I have been searching a very private blog design (diary platform) for her to avoid weirdos out there, haha.  Can never be too careful.  We will let you know when it becomes available, probably over the summer.  She wants to name it: Kelly's Fashion for Jesus.  How cute.  It rhymes with "Passion" like "Passion for Jesus."  Perfect!

Have a blessed Thursday everyone!
