Welcome to the 27th edition of the Canadian Home Educators Blog Carnival! Sorry to be so late in posting. It's been a busy day.
We're going to start this trip in British Columbia where we'll visit with Rosina as she shares with us some wonderful Leaf Embroidery her children did recently. Before we leave Rosina's she asks us to check out the HSN blog she looks after and read about the Grand Finale ~ Finish Celebrating BC's 150th Year With A Bang.
Next we're off to Alberta to visit with Pam as she tells us about a Magazine for and by homeschool kids :o) (Canadian). Sounds very interesting!
Before leaving Alberta we'll drop in on Lori as she tells us its time to Review, Regroup, Restart.
After skipping over a couple of provinces, our next stop is in Ontario to visit with Mama Squirrel as she says "There are libraries and then there are libraries."
Next we'll drop in on Tonia in Quebec as she shares a Curriculum Review: Get Ready, Get Set, Go for the Code.
After skipping over a few provinces again we come to our last stop for this trip, at my house in Newfoundland and Labrador as I tell you about a NaNoWriMo Page for Canadian Home Educators.
And that's the end of this trip across Canada visiting with home educators along the way. Thanks to those that invited us to visit.
Life has been pretty crazy around my house lately and with NaNoWriMo about to start it promises to just get crazier. Because of my involvement in the NaNoWriMo I will be taking a break from posting the Carnival during the month of November. Therefore, unless I get inundated with submissions and outcries against the break, the next Canadian Home Educators Blog Carnival will be posted on Tuesday, December 2. That gives you all lots of time to write and submit. :)

No carnival this week, but watch for one next week
Sorry for being so late in letting you know, but due to a number of different circumstances there will be no carnival this week. I didn't receive any submission for this week, and I also had a lot of stressful stuff happening in my home this week that left me with no time or mind for searching out submissions. My apologies for having to cancel this week's trip. Hopefully next week will be different. If all goes well the next edition will be posted Tuesday, October 28. Please send in your submissions ASAP. Thank you.

26th Edition!
Welcome to the 26th edition of the Canadian Home Educators Blog Carnival. It has been another crazy week at my house this week with no time to drum up extra visits to fill out the carnival. Fortunately we did have a few submissions this week so there will be a trip, but it will be a very short one. Let's get started!
We'll start this trip at my house in the province of Newfoundland and Labrador where I'll tell you about NaNoWriMo and point you to a post where you can learn more about their Young Writers Program. It really sounds neat!
Next we're off to Quebec to visit with Tonia as she shares Games for Long Vowel, Silent-E Words that she has created to help her little one with her reading. Great ideas!
After that we're off to Saskatchewan where we'll drop in on Julia as she tells us about their Math Day #3 and the fun they had learning about the Chinese abacus. Their math days sure sound like fun to me!
Next we're off to Alberta to visit with Pam as she says it's time to update and proceeds to tell us about all the things her family has been doing the last while. Sure sounds like they've been busy!
And that's the end of this trip across our country visiting with homeschooling families along the way. Thank you to those of you that sent in submissions this week. Without you there would not have been a carnival this week.
This week promises to be just as crazy, if not crazier, around here so I'm doubtful I'll have time to search for places to visit for next week's carnival. Please help ensure that there is a carnival next week by sending in submissions ASAP so that you don't forget.
I hope everyone had a great thanksgiving and that you all got out and exercised your right to vote today. Hopefully I'll hear from all of you with submissions for next week.

25th Edition
Welcome to the 25th edition of the Canadian Home Educators Blog Carnival.
We'll start this trip in my home on the island portion of Newfoundland and Labrador as I give A salute to my firefighters! and also tell you to check out the HSN Newfoundland and Labrador blog for some resources to use for Fire Safety Week October 5-11, 2008 - Prevent Home Fires.
Unfortunately we didn't get any invitations to visit for Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, or New Brunswick this time around so we'll skip over those provinces and move on to the next.
In Quebec our first stop is for a first time visit with Shannon as she tells us about an article she read titled How I taught My Child to Read for Less Than $1 but what I really, really like is when she tells us about her family's blogs and how she's using blogging to encourage her children to write. She also provides links to her children's blogs.
Next we have another first time visit in Quebec with Idzie, a 17 year old unschooler, as she shares with us about how much she loves learning and is ready to take on life in a post titled Melancholy and beautiful books.
Before we leave Quebec, we'll pop in for a visit with Tonia as she tells us about A few of my Favorite Things which includes links to some great sites.
After crossing the border into Ontario, our first visit is with Phyllis as she shares her Week 5 School Report.
Before leaving Ontario we'll pop in on Heather as she tells us that the Group of Four spent some time doing fun learning with Newton and the Skateboard Park. I wish I had done something like this with one of my boys.
Unfortunately we didn't get any invitations to visit in Manitoba or Saskatchewan this time around so we'll pass on by those provinces.
Arriving in Alberta, we'll pop in to visit with Pam as she shares her report for Day 15.
After that, we'll head into British Columbia where our first visit is with Cheryl as she shares some great resources and tells us that Election Time = Opportunity to Teach Government.
Next, also in British Columbia, we'll drop in on Miranda as she tells us about wonderful Symphony treat they were privileged to enjoy recently.
Our last visit in British Columbia is with Rosina as she shows us the Unplugged Project ~ Fruit (Thanksgiving Turkeys) they made a little while back. She also invites us to check out her nature blog where she tells us about a FREE - Basic Bird Nature Study that is available for download from Currclick this week. I don't normally feature more than one post from a blog in an edition but I'm making an exception this time because I want to make sure you notice the - Think ~ Bridge Challenge they did this weekend. Very cool! Her son even made the Think! website because of his bridge, and there's still time for you to give it a try.
And that brings us to the end of this trip across Canada visiting with homeschooling families along the way. Thank you to those of you that invited us to visit. Please take the time to let our hosts know that you stopped by by leaving a comment on their blogs.
If all goes well, the next edition of the Canadian Home Educators Blog Carnival will be posted Tuesday, October 14. Please send your submission before then.
