About SoCalVal

Photobucket

Welcome to my little corner of the beach in Southern California. I am married to one amazing man who loves me with a heart of Christ and who has blessed me to be a stay-at-home homeschool mom of three wonderful blessings. My heart is for homeschool ministry and helping others through encouragement. I've been homeschooling since the beginning and love it more and more every day.


I began my journey in homeschooling based on Bible scriptures found in Deuteronomy chapter 6:6-12 Homeschooling With Encouragement is dedicated to encourage the homeschool mom. I am the owner of a Yahoo group, monthly newsletter, two homeschool blogs, and the Weblink Education website.


Please take your time and thumb through my past postings as well as the Ministry links sponsored on this blog.

Weblink Wednesday

Ducks
Welcome to  Weblink Wednesday hosted here EVERY week. 
Also, be sure to visit my website Weblink Education where all these wonderful weblinks you provide to to help other homeschool moms.

How did Weblink Wednesday begin?  Well, last year some time I got to thinking that there are so many great educational links out in Internet-land that there had to be a way for all of us to share them with one another.  So, with a little help from some friends, I found Mr.Linky.  The rest is history. 

So, mark your calendars every Wednesday for this wonderful event!!!  Everyone is welcomed ~  If you have never participated in Weblink Wednesday before, jump right in. It's fun.  If you need instructions on how to work Mr. Linky and so forth click here.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

This week I wanted to feature a friend of mine's website.  She is a fellow blogger and is amazing at lapbooking, notebooking, and unit studies.  She created a lens on Squidoo titled "Lapbooking and Unit Study Themes".  She gives samples through photos, printable items and much more!  There are so many different topics to choose from, as well as a list of different groups where they exchange ideas. 

This is a great way to keep the studies going during the summer months.  They are simple, fun, and educational.  Take a look and tell Jimmie that I said hello!!!

Posted by aliwiddows
Since we are doing a lap book on space, I figured I would share a site I used. It is so good for kids to be able to visualize the "real" thing, so I pulled up some pics of space objects for my boy to see. There are some beautiful things in space!!!!!

Have a great day...stop by, I got my "c-box"

Well, I never have anything to add to these, but I've bookmarked so many sites from them. Hopefully I can look through them better this summer so that I can put them to good use!

Thank you for your sweet comments yesterday! :o)
