ers received books written by Heidi St.
John, such as:

to Daylight - Full of encouragement
and ideas for your homeschool day, author Heidi St. John tells all and shows
that nobody is the perfect homeschool
mom. Nobody. Whether you’re struggling with managing your day or simply
looking for encouragement and fresh
ideas for tackling your list of things
to do, you will enjoy hearing from the
heart of busy homeschool mom of seven, wife and author, Heidi St. John.
The Busy Homeschool Mom’s Guide
to Romance - Between homeschooling
and homemaking, we can often become so tired that we fail to find time
or energy for something even more important, our relationship with our husband. In this book, Heidi St. John has
given us a wonderful resource to visit.
From the website:

the demands of nurturing your children
and meeting the needs of your husband,
you’re not alone. Read and discover

make time to nurture her marriage. It’s

Math can be a sore spot in a home-
schooling family, and it’s often the
subject that parents feel the least
confidence in teaching. Many fami-
lies are looking for a solid tutor to
help teach their children math. That’s
why A+ Interactive Math offers flex-
ible plans for both large and small
homeschooling families.
A+ Interactive Math has a goal of
providing interesting, multisensory
(audio, visual and kinesthetic) lessons that will allow students all the
way from Kindergarten to Algebra I
to develop math proficiency. By developing this proficiency, students
will then be prepared to transition to
more difficult higher level math.
Recently, members of the Schoolhouse Review Crew received the opportunity to try out two different plans
offered by A+ Interactive Math.
Adaptive Placement Test and Individualized Lesson Plan - Some Crew
members received subscriptions for
the Adaptive Placement Test and Individualized Lesson Plan. Using this
plan, parents who are concerned that
their children may have gaps in their
math learning can give their children
“mini” tests on the various skills that
they are expected to know at their
grade level. On the basis of these
tests, if there are areas where the children are below grade level, the program creates an individualized lesson
plan to address these weaknesses and
bring them up to grade level. These
lesson plans include all the lessons
necessary for children to strengthen
their math skills.
Family Math Package - Other Crew
Members received subscriptions for
the Family Math Package. The family
math package offers families access to
all grade levels of A+ Interactive Math
(K1-Algebra 1) via different packages
based on family sizes. These math levels include a recommended order of
lessons, the lessons themselves, interactive review problems, worksheets,
exams and instant grading. Parents are
able to switch their child’s grade level at
any time.
You can read more about these packages in the reviews as each family gives
different details and experiences!

The thought of homeschooling can
make even the most accomplished
quake in their boots about their abili-
ties. What to teach, when to teach,
and how to teach are only a few of the
questions that can plague you and may
make you second guess homeschool-
ing. If this sounds like you, then you’ll
be glad to find out about the Success-
ful Homeschooling Made Easy Course
by Stephanie Walmsley at Successful
Homeschooling Made Easy.
Stephanie Walmsley created the
Successful Homeschooling Made Easy
Course to help you answer those ques-
tions and much more. Starting her
own school-at-home journey in 1985,
Stephanie Walmsley moved into what
was once the lonely world of home-
schooling, and began fine tuning and
developing her own methods, which
only got better with time. Having suc-
cess with her own system she saw that
as homeschooling grew and became
more popular, other homeschoolers
without systems were struggling under
a mass of information and lack of or-
ganization. Hence the Successful Home-
schooling Made Easy Course was born.
Recently the Schoolhouse Review
Crew got a chance to revamp their own
homeschools by taking the
Successful Homeschooling Made Easy Course.
There are 26 weeks of lessons in the
course covering every aspect of homeschooling, from setting up your homeschool day to fitting in housekeeping.
The first lessons you will receive are on
