Welcome to another start to your homeschool week with Memo Monday!

This week we have plenty to participate in, peruse, ponder and even to purchase! If that isn’t enough, we also have some things to pray for. Have a great week at home with your kiddoes, and I hope the weather is nice where you are and you get to get out and enjoy it!!

To Participate In:

Attention Moms and Daughters!! GGM Mother’s Day Appreciation Contest is for your daughters, eighteen and under. One winning article will be chosen to be featured in May’s issue, but all participant photos will be featured in honor of your moms.

SisterLisa is hosting the Share Your Faith Carnival: Homeschool Edition at The HomeSpun Life. Submissions are being taken for this carnival until April 2nd, and the carnival will begin on April 5th. So get yours in TODAY!

To Ponder:

Martin Luther:
I am afraid that the schools will prove the very gates of hell, unless they diligently labor in explaining the Holy Scriptures and engraving them in the heart of the youth.

Mark Twain:
“I have never let my schooling interfere with my education.”

Beatrix Potter:
“Thank goodness I was never sent to school; it would have rubbed off some of the originality.”

 

To Purchase(or even get for free):

The current FREE Ebook at CurrClick is Tea Time by Amy Puetz.
This is a very short e-book about cooking during the Victorian era. It contains three recipes and a brief description of how to serve an afternoon tea.

I know, I know, I mention the Old Schoolhouse Magazine on Memo Monday all the time. Only because I believe it to be the best all-around resource for homeschool families.
And now, you can get it on your computer digitally. Really. Check it out. The special pricing lasts through April 8th.
You can get a full subscription plus a free issue for $14.95.
If you like the good old hard copy (like I do), you sill can’t beat the price for a full year subscription!

 

To Pray For:

Amanda has a Page devoted to Prayer Requests.

Matthew 18:20
“For where two or more are gathered together in My name, there I am in the midst.“

Please continue to pray for Ami. “We just received word from our closest and dearest friends in Israel David and Leah Ortiz, that their son, Ami, was seriously injured by a bomb at their home in Ariel today. Apparently some one left, what looked like, a Purim Basket outside their door. Ami, 15 years old, was holding it when it exploded.”

Blessings!
