Not-Back-to-School Blog Hop

Great things are beginning next Monday! Not only does the HOTM Online Conference begin on Monday, so does Darcy’s uber fun “Not-Back-to-School Blog Hop”.

So hop on over to Darcy’s blog every Monday for the next 4 (maybe 5) weeks to join in the fun…and don’t forget to get your ticket to the HOTM Online Conference to join in on the live fun all next week.

2009_08

  • First week in August: It’s a curriculum hop. Share your well-researched plans on your post. Show us what you love. Four math curriculums later… you decided on?? McLinky will go up on Monday 8/3/09!
  • Second week in August: It’s a school room hop. Tell us about your “school room”. This can be a dedicated space, or what you’ve made work. Post photos, storage ideas, comfy chairs. Your garage? Or dining room table? An actual school house? Show us where you school! McLinky will go up on 8/10/09!
  • Third week in August: It’s a “not back to school photo” hop. This time, share your students! All too often, homeschoolers forget to take that token not-back-to-school photo. So, you can wear a backpack and new shoes like the typical first-day-of-school photos, or you can wear a batman costume, goggles and barefeet – like my homeschoolers. Come as you are. First-day-of school photos shared. McLinky will go up on the 8/17/09.
  • Fourth week in August: Day in the life. Do you rise at dawn, say the pledge of allegiance, sit at desks, have recess? Do you school year round or do nature hikes? Or do you start well-caffeinated and hide in the bathroom for your own recess? Tell us about a typical (or not so typical) day in the life of your homeschool. McLinky will go up on 8/24/09.

There’s been some interest to add a 5th week to post if you have curriculum to sell on your blog. Please yay or nay in Darcy’s comments if you’d be interested in posting your ‘For Sale’ gently used curriculum and Blog Hop readers can contact you to arrange payment and shipping.

    This is a neat idea, Darcy! Unfortunately – or would it be fortunately? – I’m in a soooooooo not back to school mood right now that it will be a challenge to participate. Yet, perhaps it’s the kick in the backside I need to start thinking about it again :-)
