Dewey’s Treehouse takes us floating down the river with nothing but life jackets in this week’s Carnival of Homeschooling: Floatin’ Down the River Edition. Click to enlarge the pictures and you get the true beauty of the trip. What an exciting journey!

The next carnival will be hosted by The Informed Parent. Send in your submissions by Monday at 6 p.m. I look forward to reading your submissions.

It’s time for the annual Homeschool Summer Reading Club. I’m very excited to carry on this tradition since 1990, first for local homeschoolers, then for homeschoolers across the nation. This is the first year the Summer Reading Club will be hosted at Homeschool Journeys.com. The process is easy and the only cost is the postage required to send the prize packets to your children.

Learn all about the Summer Reading Club. Sign your children up, print the form and you’re all set to start reading the summer away!

Welcome to my new website: Homeschool Journeys. I am Beverly Hernandez, a retired homeschooler of three. I have been very active in the homeschooling community over the past 28 years, running a homeschool bookstore, a large homeschool support group, and writing for About.com for 13 years.

As a veteran homeschooler, I offer my expertise, insights and resources to the homeschooling community. I love designing unit studies, homeschool forms, printable worksheets and other resources. If you have specific needs, let me know and I’ll see if I can help.

I continue to be involved in the homeschool world as I mentor my grown children in their homeschooling, assisting in many ways in the education of my eleven grandchildren. I attend many of the local homeschool activities and field trips and will freely share with you. I look forward to sharing my homeschool journey with you and also offer myself as a “guide” on your homeschool journeys.
