Giveaway Time! Five in a Row!

It's time for my first giveaway! After cleaning out the school room and deciding what I will and won't use next year, I've come up with a giveaway! Two years ago, we used Five in a Row to make lapbooks. It was so awesome. I still have those books and probably always will. Five in a Row guides you through reading a story. In general you read the same book five days in a row while doing exercises related to the book. The lessons involve science, history, geography, and math. There's a great website called. Home School Share that will link you with great FREE printouts to go with the lessons. So here's the giveaway. Five in a Row Volume 1 and Five in a Row Bible Study Supplement. I'm also including a collection of the books that go with the series. Some of these books go with Five in a Row Volume 2, but you'll still find them useful! The books are as follows:
The Glorious Flight, Mike Mulligan and His Steam Machine (this is actually in Spanish), Lentil, The Story of Ping, Make Way For Ducklings, The Story of Ferdinand, The Little House, Madeline, When I Was Young In The Mountains, Katy and the Big Snow, and Stopping By Woods On A Snowy Evening. So what do you need to do to win this great set?

Leave a comment for each of the following. Each one is one entry.

This could all be yours!

"In the middle of my little mess."

I love this song. "In the middle of my little mess, I forget how big I'm blessed" Oh, I've been singing it for days as little things keep getting in my way of getting my to-do list done. But this song can make me stop and dance and have my kids look at me like I'm crazy! So here's what I'm in the middle of:

Would you believe there actually is order to this?

I haven't made it to this shelf yet.

So I'm in the middle of trying to turn this yard sale gone awry into a respectable place to learn. I've been collecting books for over 6 years and have things I know I'll never use. After 4 years of true homeschooling I have a realistic idea of what I'll use and won't use. BUT, it's so hard to get rid of stuff that I just might need. I'm trying! I'm having a hard time, I can't seem to get more than a half hour of time to get in there. I need hours. It's going to take days at this rate and anyone who knows me, knows I can't stand long term chaos. Well, it's a lesson in patience if nothing else!

Book Fair Bounty!!!!!

Oh books how I love thee!! This year was a little better than usual. We usually go to The Green Valley Book Fair in October, so it's Christmas buying time. This year was nice! Mom and Dad gave Anderson Academy a donation towards next year's educational costs, so that helped in the book buying madness. So here are photos for books for Anderson Academy.

A series on American Wars, sadly they didn't have all of them.

A series on military vessels!

Some Evan Moore books and a language Review

 

Some random books, Civil Rights, Animal Sounds, Narnia, and Faith Together in 15.

Boy's Bible Stories, follow up to Jackson's Jesus and Me book.

Not sure about this one, but Hip-Hop History with a CD for memorizing history facts, and good old Mad Libs to go with First Language Lessons.

And Now For Mommy Books!!!

 The first one is a family of 19 kids, 14 are adopted from 4 nations, the second is Confessions of a Good Christian Girl, and Glenn Beck's Common Sense.

I don't usually buy fiction, I'm afraid I won't like it and the are a quarter a dozen a yard sales, but The Ten Year Nap looked good. The Jesus of Suburbia, and Eats, Shoots, and Leaves!!!

The Witches of Eastwick, a memoir Black, White, and Jewish, memoir Escape about a girl in a polygamist cult and her escape with her 8 children. 

What Moms Do, The Dumbest Generation, and Alex (I read this at 12 and it has stayed with me, so excited to find it again!!)

The Little Prince (have been told many times to read this), Overkill (over using antibiotics in kids) another memoir.

opps. This goes in the school book section. 

These are for Johnny. Louis L'amour Memoir. Boys' Own Stuff (from the Dangerous Series) and Why Fish Fart and other useless facts. :)

So all in all a great book weekend. I got all of these for $120!!!! I'm so excited. Now off to order more curriculum!!!!
