Welcome to the 24th edition of the Canadian Home Educators Blog Carnival. Unfortunately we don't have a full trip this week. It has been a stressful week, dealing with a sick little one, among other things, so no time to look for submissions. Thank goodness we had a fair number of people submit posts this week. So, let's get started on the trip.
Unfortunately nobody in British Columbia submitted any posts this week so we have to skip that province and start the trip in the next province.
In Alberta we have a first time invitation to visit with Paige as she tells us about her plans for this year.
Before we leave Alberta we'll drop in and visit with Pam as she shares with us "Encouragement from my HS Facilitator", a post she wrote two years ago but that she still finds encouragement from.
Crossing over the border into Saskatchewan we'll pop in to visit with Julia as she tells us about the public library she enjoys and says Wonders Never Cease at the things she discovers there.
Unfortunately we don't have any invitations to visit in Manitoba this time around.
Next we'll stop in Ontario where our first visit is with Heather as she tells us about her family getting a Campaign Close-up recently when they were a part of a press conference with Stephen Harper.
Before we leave Ontario we'll drop in on Debbie as she shares with us some pictures, that she took on a hike recently, that really show the Fall Colors in her area.
Crossing the border into Quebec we'll drop in to visit Tonia as she shares her Goals for Kindergarten. She makes a very important statement about the importance of goals in there that nobody should miss so be sure to check it out.
Next we'll travel to New Brunswick and stop to visit Lorraine as she says, "It's KidPay Day" and proceeds to tell us about a great system she's worked out for teaching her children to be responsible with money.
After Crossing the water to the province of Prince Edward Island we'll stop in on Molytail as she says, "Meow" and tells us about a series of books that have really sparked her daughter's interest in reading.
As we have no invitations to visit in either Nova Scotia or Newfoundland and Labrador this time around, or anywhere else either, that brings us to the end of our trip. Thank you to those of you that took the time to send in submissions. Without you there wouldn't have been a trip this week. Thank you to those of you that came along for the trip. Please take the time to let the hosts know that you visited.
Hopefully next week the trip will be a little fuller. You can help ensure that by making sure that you send in a submission.
If all goes well the next edition will be posted next Tuesday, October 7. Hope to hear from all of you before then.
Edited to put Pam in her right province. :)

I'm still trying to find more Canadians homeschooling abroad to include in our trip so please spread the word. Also, I'm still trying to find some Canadian homeschooled students and graduates to include in our visits. If you know of any please tell them they are invited to join the carnival.
If all goes well the next edition of the Canadian Home Educators Blog Carnival will be posted next Tuesday, September 30th. Please send in your submissions as soon as possible before then.

22nd Edition!
Welcome to the 22nd edition of the Canadian Home Educators Blog Carnival! I am extremely excited about this trip because it is our first complete cross country trip, making a visit in each and every province - and beyond! Let's get started!
We're going to start this trip at my place in Newfoundland and Labrador again as I give you a Reminder and update. During our election study DD and I were reminded of how important it is to check your sources. Also, I'm happy to say that the Student Vote program is homeschool friendly so be sure to take advantage of it.
Next we'll take the ferry to Nova Scotia where we'll visit with Dawn as she says, "It Almost Had Me... Curriculum is a sneaky, evil beast."
After that we'll take another ferry into Prince Edward Island where Molytail jokingly says "It's the end of the world as we know it..." and tells us about a neat editible learning activity she and her daughter did recently.
I think we'll take the Confederation bridge off the island and head into New Brunswick for a first time visit with Lorraine while she shares with us about how Smudging, Powwows and Animal Speak are influencing their learning.
Before we leave New Brunswick we'll drop in on BJ as she shares How It's Going so far and asks us to share with her too.
Next we had to Quebec for our first ever visit in the province as we stop for a first time visit with Tonia as she tells us about her Geography plans for Kindergarten.
Crossing the border, we'll stop in to visit with Phyllis in Ontario as she shares with us her Week 1 School Report.
After that we head into Manitoba for a visit with Giselle as she invites us to check out some resources she's discovered and talks about the importance of Jr/High School Students and Art.
Next we'll head into Saskatchewan for a first time visit with Susan as she shares what she's learned about Narration and Autism
Crossing the border into Alberta we'll drop in on Pam while she tells us about Day 2 of their school year.
After that we'll head into British Columbia where our first stop is for a first time visit with Jennifer as she tells us that she has a box where she stores vocabulary and sight words for review with her son and she shows us how she's decorated the box to hold Trevor's Words.
Before we leave British Columbia we'll pop in to visit Rosina as she shows us, step by step, a really neat bookmark her son made for Unplugged Project - Soft (Felt Bookmarks).
That's the end of our cross country trip, but we have a special addition to this trip. We're going to travel to Guam to visit with fellow Canadian Homeschooler Colleen as she compares where she used to live to where she is living now - Powell River Vs. Guam.
And that's the end of this trip across our country, and across our world, visiting with homeschoolers along the way. Thank you to each of you that allowed us to visit, and thank you to each of you that came along for the trip. Don't forget to take a minute to let our hosts know that you dropped in by leaving them a comment on their blogs.
While there weren't many people that participated in the polls last week, the ones that did liked the idea of including blogs of Canadian homeschooling students and graduates in our weekly trips. Now I need your help to find these blogs to visit. If you know of any Canadian homeschooled students or graduates that blog please let them, or preferably their parents, know about the carnival and that we would like to include them in it. In order to protect the children I will not include their blogs without encouraging them to get permission from their parents to do so.
Also, I'm still looking for blogging Canadians that are homeschooling and living abroad. Please help spread the word.
If all goes well the next edition of the Canadian Home Educators Blog Carnival will be posted Tuesday, September 23. Please get your submissions in to me as soon as possible before them. I was delighted this week to only have to search for one submission! Hopefully next time I won't have to search for any, but instead will be overrun with multiple submissions from each province. ;)
Have a good week and hope to hear from you before the next edition.

21st Edition!
Welcome to the 21st edition of the Canadian Home Educators Blog Carnival! Let's get started!
We're going to start this trip at my house in Newfoundland and Labrador as I explain to you why I'm so excited that It's Federal Election Time!. We are using the election as part of our learning over the next while and I share resources and ideas we are using.
Unfortunately we didn't get any invitations to visit in Prince Edward Island or Nova Scotia this time around so we'll quickly skip over those provinces to get to the next province.
In New Brunswick we'll stop for a first time visit with BJ as she shares her assignment for Homeschool Memoirs - Agendas.
Unfortunately we still don't have any homeschooling families to visit in Quebec, and it's really a shame because I know there are many, many great families homeschooling in Quebec. Hopefully someone will invite us to visit soon, but for now we have to skip over this beautiful province.
Our first stop in Ontario is a first time visit with Debbie as she tells us about An annual journey her family makes and shares pictures of parts of the journey this year.
Next we'll pop in and visit Phyllis, also in Ontario, as she shares her Grade 9 Plan for her highschooler.
Our last stop in Ontario is with Heather as she tells us about a card game she made up to give her daughter practice in her Doubling up - math facts.
Next we're off to Manitoba for a first time visit with Giselle, co-ordinator for the HSN's Manitoba blog, as she encourages us to Take a "Back to School" Photo and shares links to some sites with photography tips.
Leaving there we'll travel into Saskatchewan and stop in for a visit with Julia as she shares about the fun Math Day her family enjoyed with some other homeschoolers recently.
After that we'll pop over to Alberta and drop in on Lori as she tells us they had A good first day back!.
Our last stop is to visit with Miranda in British Columbia as she tells us Math is on again and proceeds to tell us what each of her children are doing for math right now.
And that's the end of this trip across our country visiting with home educating families along the way. Thank you to those of you that allowed us to visit and thank you to those of you that came along for the trip. Remember to take the time to leave a comment on the blogs of those that allowed us to visit to let them know you were there.
Please help spread the word about the carnival and help make it be all it can by joining in the fun. Be watching for the September issue of the Homeschooling Horizons Magazine which has a special Sideshow edition of the Carnival in it. Though the magazine had some delivery issues recently, they have been working on it and the September issue should be arriving to subscribers shortly, if they haven't arrived already. Let me know if you read it and what you think about it.
As you will have noticed I didn't post a Canadian Home Educators Abroad trip this week. So far I only have one blogging Canadian Home Educator living abroad to feature, so I'm debating whether to make a separate trip for that or to just include it at the end of our cross Canada trip, at least until we get a few more bloggers to feature. What are your thoughts? I'll put up a poll so that you can let me know. You're also welcome to leave a comment about it.
I had another idea this week that I'd like your thoughts on. I know that there are some Canadian Home Educating students and graduates that blog. I was thinking it would be neat to feature them also, either by giving them their own special trip on another day or by including them in the present weekly trip. I'd love to know your thoughts on that also.
If all goes well the next edition of the Canadian Home Educators Blog Carnival will be posted next Tuesday September 16. Please get your submissions in to me as soon as possible before then.
Hope to hear from you all before then and to be totally swamped with submissions. ;)

20th Edition!
Welcome to the 20th edition of the Canadian Home Educators Blog Carnival! I apologize for being so late in posting this but school started here today and school and family must come first. I know you all will understand that. :)
We're going to start this trip in Bristish Columbia where Rosina first of all suggests that we check out the Buy/Sell List For Canadian BJU Homesat Users that she posted about on the HSN Blog she is co-ordinator for. After that she invites us to check out "Our Homeschool Agenda - HM Assignment #2. Before we leave her place she also shares what her family did for the Unplugged Project - Insect (Habitat).
Next we're off to Alberta to visit with Heather while she tells us the story of the The Curse of the Washing Machine. If you check her next few posts you'll hear even more of the story.
After that we're off to Saskatchewan to visit with Julia as she tells us that she is trying out A Loop Schedule. Sounds interesting.
No visits in Manitoba this time around so we'll continue on to the next province.
Our first stop in Ontario is a first time visit with Ann as she shares ideas on How to Daily Feed A Brain (links for life-long learners). Lots of great links to check out there!
Next we'll stop in for another first time visit with Phyllis, also in Ontario, as she shows us her School Room. Looks like she's all ready for the coming year.
Before we leave Ontario we'll stop in to visit with Kim as she tells us she's Starting the Schoolyear Right by participating in the local fall fair. I think that is such a great idea!
Unfortunately we don't have any visits in Quebec or New Brunswick this time around so we'll skip over those provinces to get to our next stop.
In Nova Scotia we'll stop in on Penelope as she tells us that her kids seem to be doing just fine with her preparations for School, or lack of it.
Next up we'll drop in to visit with Molytail in Prince Edward Island as she asks us "Whats 5 feet tall & bright pink"? Why it's the locker she's set up in her daughter's room so that she doesn't miss out on having a school locker. :-) Such a neat idea!
We didn't get any other invitations to visit in Newfoundland and Labrador this time around so you're stuck with visiting with me at my place while I share with you what I did for Homeschool Memoirs #1 - All About Me.
And that's the end of this trip across Canada visiting with Home Educating families along the way. Thank you to those of you that have allowed us to visit, and thanks to those of you that came along for the trip. Please take the time to say hello to the hosts by leaving a comment on their blogs. If you have come along for the trip but haven't invited us to visit with you yet, we'd love to visit you next time. We'd also love invitations to visit again with those of you that have already invited us to visit.
Thanks also to those of you that participated in the poll about having a separate regular trip around the world visiting with Canadian Home Educating families living abroad. All of you that voted thought it was a great idea so watch for the first trip in the near future, maybe even later this week. I will, however, need your help in finding Canadian homeschoolers abroad to visit - so far I only have one. :-) If you know of anyone please tell them about the carnival and/or email me their blog address and contact information.
I haven't suggested a topic for the carnival for a while but since I wrote my "All About You" post for the Homeschool Memoirs meme I've been thinking that I would love to know more about each of you. Maybe you've written an "All About Me" post before that you would like to share in next week's carnival, or maybe you'd like to write one especially for next week's carnival. This is just a suggestion, however, not a stipulation. We'd love to come visit you even if you don't have an "All About Me" post to share.
If all goes well the next edition of the Canadian Home Educators blog carnival will be posted Tuesday, September 9. Please send your submissions in as soon as possible before then as that helps me to get it ready to post earlier. I will be working on trying to put the post together the night before, which means I would need your submissions early in the day, so that I can post it first thing in the morning if possible, but please don't hold me to it.
Hopefully I'll hear from all of you in the next few days!
