Edition 03 2009
Welcome to the third 2009 edition of the Canadian Home Educators Blog Carnival!
Did you notice our new look? A special thank you to Kristine for designing and installing it. Isn't it great?
Now, on to the trip. This time we actually have visits from one side of the country on over to the other. Let's get started!
Stop in at my place in Newfoundland and learn about the Family Literacy Day World Record Attempt.
A newcomer to the Carnival, Heather, in New Brunswick says Kids Love to "Work" When it's Montessori "Toys"
Tonia, in Quebec, tells us how she is doing K4 at Home.
Rosina, in British Columbia, talks about A Homeschool Co-op: How to Start One
A new comer to the carnival, Jasmine, also in British Columbia, tells us about Our Home Learning Community House
And that's the end of this trip across the country visiting with home educating families along the way. Thank you to those of you that invited us to visit and thanks to those of you that came along for the trip.
While we did have visits from one side of the country on over to the other this time, we're still missing stops in a number of provinces along the way. Please help spread the word about the carnival. Post about it on your blog, on message boards and email lists. Tell your friends about it when you get together for tea, or support group meetings or through phone calls. Let's each do our part to make this a full carnival with representation from all across our country, and beyond!
If all goes well the next edition of the carnival will be posted Monday, January 26th, but the deadline for submissions is Friday, January 24th. The reason for the early deadline is because I like to have Saturdays to put the finishing touches on the carnival and be able to take Sundays to relax before posting the carnival on Mondays. Hope to hear from all of you, and all your friends, before the due date! :)

Edition 02 2009
Welcome to the second 2009 edition of the Canadian Home Educators Blog Carnival! Only three invitations to visit this time around. Let's get started!
Tonia, in Quebec, shares ideas on Things to do with a Hundreds Chart.
Audrey, in Manitoba, talks about her plans to work on regaining lost art.
Molytail, now living in Alberta, invites us to check out her new online home as she answers the question "Why Tails Gone West?".
That's the end of the visits this week. Thanks, Tonia, Audrey, and Molytail for inviting us to visit. Thanks to those of you that came along for the trip.
To try to encourage more participation, I have decided to offer up a small participation prize each month. Every time someone submits an invitation to visit their name will be put in to be drawn for a prize. At the end of the month I will send a small envelope of a prize to the person drawn.

I wish this had been a fuller trip but that is only possible if people submit invitations to visit. I love it when we have full trips with stops in all the provinces, but I have had to accept the fact that I just don't have the time to search out the posts to make it possible, so it's important to get the word out that people need to submit. I'd love to have people submitting invitations every week. With Molytail's move, it means we no longer have any representation from PEI in the carnival. I sure hope somebody fills in that space soon. I also hope that we start getting more invitations to visit.

Edition 01 2009
Welcome to the first edition of the Canadian Home Educators Blog Carnival for 2009! It's been a long time since our last edition. I was having some computer problems that made preparing the carnival extremely frustrating. Thanks to my mom and sister, however, I am now the owner of a new laptop and no longer have to endure the troubles my old computer inflicted on me. :) This week's edition is a few days late but things should be on track from here on in.
Let's get started on our trip across Canada visiting home educating families along the way.
Dawn, in Nova Scotia, says "Goodbye Spongebob" as she tells us about their preparations for a move.
A new comer to the carnival, Cheryl, in New Brunswick, tells us about her son's interest in Nihongo (Japanese Language) and how she is making it a part of his learning.
Lorraine, in New Brunswick, tells us how she gave her children a Centrifugal Force Lesson Plan, Unschool Version.
Phyllis, in Ontario, talks about some tools she's found to help with the Teaching of Writing.
Jennifer, in Alberta, shares how she uses children's exercise videos to do Phys. Ed at 30 Below.
Lori, in Alberta, tells us about their projects for Literary World 2008.
Becky, in Alberta, tells us about some Real life science they experienced in November.
Rosina, in British Columbia, tells us about A Great Spelling Website & It's FREE!
Miranda, in British Columbia, tells us about her 5 year old doing More hands-on equations.
That's the end of our visits in Canada but we also have a visit with a Canadian homeschooling in another part of the world.
Colleen, a Canadian living in Guam, says, "God Smiles on us in Guam" as she explains how the sky in Guam looks different.
And that's the end of this trip. Thank you to each of you that invited us to visit and thanks to those of you that came along for the trip.
One change in the carnival from now on is that I will not be going looking for submissions - it just takes too much time. The carnival will consist only of submissions that are sent in, so it is essential that you help me spread the word and help keep the carnival going. Please post about the carnival on your blog, submit yourself, and encourage others to do so also.
If all goes well the next edition will be posted Monday, January 12, but the deadline for submissions will be Saturday, January 10. That means you have to get busy and submit ASAP. :) Hope to hear from all of you.
Happy homeschooling!

Happy 2009!
It's been quite a while since I posted anything here. I have been having computer troubles and then the busyness of the season took over so the carnival got pushed to the sidelines. I am hoping, however, to post an edition of the carnival next week, so please help spread the word and send in your submissions ASAP!
