States of the USA Resource
The Home School Mom is one of my favorite sites for homeschooling resources. They have a wealth of information, freebies, and resources on everything related to homeschooling. There are planners available for free, lists of academic contests, information about homeschool laws and issues that effect us as homeschoolers.
The site in itself is a wonderful find for any homeschooler, but the page I want to focus on today is their new addition to the Schoolroom . The newly added “States of the USA ” page is a pretty basic page…a map of the US and states listed below. It’s what you find once you click on a state that’s the great part. On each state’s page you’ll find information about the state including the state’s pertinent facts, famous people from the state, important events that shaped the state’s history, as well as a list of resources (internet resources) and websites where you can learn more about the state.
But wait! That’s not all. On each state’s page, there is a list of homeschool groups, classes, and events for the state. Even if you think you know everything there is to know about your state, this list could prove invaluable to you if you ever need to find a local group or some support for your homeschooling endeavors.
Head on over to The Home School Mom and check out the States of the USA page. While you’re there, sign up for one or more of the three newsletters they send out (form is at the bottom of every page). I get them and they are worth the read!
Also, don’t stop at the States page. There is so much information on The Home School Mom that you could use that it’s almost wrong not to have a look around.
Don’t forget to drop them a line if you find something useful. Everyone likes to feel appreciated for their efforts!
