Table of Contents HEM May-June 2008
In the May-June 2008 issue Home Education Magazine offers articles focusing on play and playing with real life. You will be able to find suggestions for getting your kids fun, 'hands-on' learning from making an inexpensive kite, to finding independence in the kitchen as well as a hands-on way to ease your own stress by knitting while you teach. Lisa Kang's Fun Ways to Help Kinesthetic Learners, offers suggestions for that child that is all about hands-on learning.
In her column, Hands-On Learning, Kathy Ceceri looks at Geography and Arctic Life as Becky Rupp offers resources for irresistible hands-on science fun. Christine Gable cooks up quick salsa while Carol Narigon finds ways to inspire joy of learning and critical thinking. Laura Weldon shares readers suggestions for dealing with in-laws and making history relevant as Linda Dobson explores how history is repeating itself for yet another generation of school kids. The Kasemans look at the dangers of a Parental Rights Amendment, Jeanne Faulconer reviews two new homeschooling titles, Tamara Orr considers the technology gap between parents and kids, and David has a New Exercise Regimen - My Word!
You are bound to find something in this issue worth reading. Enjoy!
