A peek into my binder:)

I have a ton of pages of web sites that I like to use when I need to look
something up. My first page of web sites is toxic and non-toxic plants.
Then Internet links for health and safety. And last, helpful home school
websites. These are the ones I love:) Here are a couple of my favorites:

http://www.handwritingworksheets.com/
http://www.freemathworksheets.net/
http://www.softschools.com/

Check them out! And enjoy........

My school charts section includes a multiplication/division facts table,

basic use of capital letters, basic punctuation marks, Branches of

Government, Levels of Government, common misused words, suffixes

and prefixes, charts on Presidents, tables of common measurement,

lists of sight words and some math tables.

Auhh, the meat of the binder! The part that I don't have quite down

yet. This part is for scheduling your cleaning, kids chores and I have

home made cleaning recipes that I have been experimenting with. This
is my cleaning section.

I only have two recipes in this section so far. This section is meant to

include recipes you have just encountered and want to try out. If after

trying them, you like them, then remove from the binder and place in a

special recipe box etc. You don't want your binder to get to

overcrowded. If you have any good recipes, please share them. I love

to try new things.

I like to keep track of what the kids are reading as well as myself. I think it is a great way to look at the end of the year and see our progress. It is a great motivator for the kids also.


Side view of my binder. I have almost everything inserted into plastic

sheet protectors to of course protect the pages. With the kids, things

are always prone to spill:)

The first half of my binder is all about my homeschooling and the last

half is my home management.

I have to have the pens. Anyone who knows me, knows that I am a penaholic. These pouches are nice for some storage especially if you take your binder elsewhere to work on it.
