A Common Life

Need in This Location--HSLDA Posted

Tammy Thacker called us saying she is working on packets and information kits for new homeschool families as well as any general info she can provide at her homeschool event on December 11. She's also collecting homeschool curriculum new or unused whole set (teacher manual, student workbook), materials.

Her internet service is not the best right now, so it's difficult accessing Facebook. She asked if we could share if anyone wants to donate curriculum:

The contact for this group is Cortney Taylor. Please send me a message for her contact info if you want to organize a collection to take to her or mail her a box of books or new books/curriculum you want to send.

Claritas Resources to Help Homeschoolers and Those Suddenly Homeschooling

Here is a list of resource books to help families new to homeschooling. This isn't curriculum but many are finding themselves taking responsibility for their children's education and these books can help.

I loved classical education and would use Claritas today if I was starting afresh.

The memory work is what I'm recommending because it is key to a classical education. The work guide and work audio would be very helpful to a family that wants to educate in this way. Several sets of Timeline cards would be ideal to send along as well.

WNC Had Ice Last Night

I copied this from a post I saw on FB on North Carolina News. Our neighbors are freezing and need our support.

WNC had ice last night. Those pink areas on the map are ice. Everyone living in tents need supplies. Anchor Ridge at 1137 River Rd Liberty Grove Rd, North Wilkesboro NC 28659 need more campers, blankets, heating supplies, building materials and toys for Christmas.
