I needed a laugh today…and here is where I found one (or two or three!)

Okay, My friends daughter showed me a YouTube clip of this guy almost a year ago. I think it was the CHick Fil A one. It was sooooo nice to hear and see a comedian again that wasn’t foul. I am going to post the most current one and then one of my favorites clips.

Here is Tim Hawkins in “The Government Can

Here is Tim hawkins in “Chick-fil-A”

I hope you have enjoyed these little clips!

The Greatest Stickers I Ever Saw…Adults will even want them

italy stickers

italy stickers 2

To Purchase or For More Information, Click Here.

These stickers are 7 x 5 inches in size! I never thought, I the bargain hunter, would ever consider paying $5.95 for some stickers. Well, these stickers have changed my mind. They are awesome in quality and style. They come in a luggage with velcro and each are approximately 5 inches wide! These are absolutely perfect for when you study geography or social studies and you make folders, notebooks or pretend passports or luggage for each country or state that you go to. Perfect for Sonlight, CHC and K12 curriculum. They also make great gifts for teachers, artists, travelers, and stocking stuffers.

Peppermint Pencils….They are the neatest pencils I know of

Peppermint Pencil….oh how I wish your nose could work over the Internet.

Our Peppermint Pencil is simply a wonderful gift or reward for your student. It is great when a child is struggling through a subject to pull out the Peppermint Pencil for some extra motivation. These pencils are also great when taking tests. (Order now before the test season is upon you in October!) Some say these pencils actually improve test scores. I’m not kidding. Apparently the peppermint scent awakens certain chemicals in the brain. I know I need all the help I can get. These aromatic instruments make great gifts, stocking stuffers, present toppers, rewards, and are an enhancement to the learning experience.

Note: The scent does last the life of the pencil. At least the one we own do!

Calling All Homeschool Hybrid Schools (or Private Schools Too!)

We have a great opportunity for a small homeschool hybrid or a small private school. We have the following in GREAT condition:

Voyages in English Writing & Grammar 6: Copyright of 1999 by Loyola Press. 534 pages total. 17 chapters covering: writing stories, paragraphs, writing letters, different kinds of writing, library skills, speaking and listening skills, verbs, pronouns, nouns. adjectives, adverbs, prepositions, conjunctions, and interjections, phrases, clauses and sentences, punctuation and capitalization and model diagrams.

30 Hardback Voyages In English Writing & Grammar 6 Textbooks for only $9.75 each! Retail is $24.95, that means you save $15.20 EACH BOOK.  Okay….Math Time: If you have a school buy 30 books at $24.95 per book and another school buys 30 books for only $9.75 per book, which school would you like to send your children to? 🙂

okay…now the real math.  Buying the 30 books at retail is a total of $748.50. Buying from HS Loft the same 30 books is only $292.50. That is a savings of $456.00

Next incredible  purchase can be:

Spanish Is Fun: From AMSCO and it is 549 pages. It has 21 chapters with resources in the back of the book. This is the 2nd (and current) edition. It is a great book because it is a textbook and workbook all in one hardback book. It is perfect for a homeschool setting.

29 Spanish Is Fun for only $13.75 each. Retail is $34.00 each, that means you save $20.25 EACH BOOK! Again if you bought all 29 at retail you would spend $986.00. Buying the same books from HS Loft is only $398.75. That is a savings of $587.25. We are talking real money!

Last but not least, We have

29 Companeros Spanish for Communication Book 1: for only $19.25 each. Retail is $36.00 each, that means you save $16.75 EACH BOOK! Again if you bought all 29 at retail you would spend $1,044.00. Buying the same books from HS Loft is only $558.25. That is a savings of $485.75!

This is a hardback edition.
At the beginning of each unit, you will find the TOOLS section that contains all the words (VOCABULARY) and grammar points (STRUCTURE) for the entire unit. They are given to you at the beginning so that they will be available as you need them.
This book is designed to help you talk about the past, present and future in Spanish as early as possible. There are a lot of pictures to give you visual clues that will help you learn and remember vocabulary. There are also many dialogues and readings that show people interacting with each other in setting that will be familiar to you. In addition to learning language, you will also learn about culture-that is, the way Hispanic people live.
You will soon meet Paulina and her friends. They are Americans of Hispanic heritage attending high school, and their lives are much like yours. As you follow their experiences throughout  this book, we hope they will become your companeros (friends).

Of course, these books are available to individual homeschoolers to purchase one at a time.
