Carnival of Homeschooling: Yearbook Edition



Welcome to the 96th Carnival of Homeschooling. If you don't know what a carnival is... let me explain. A Blog Carnival is a showcase of memories (articles that we bloggers call "posts") from around the net on a group of blogs which share similar interests. There are carnivals for all sorts of things (cats, finances, poetry...). This carnival is put on BY homeschoolers FOR homeschoolers. Each host has their own style and sometimes uses a "theme" to write the carnival. I like themes... so I usually use them when I host the carnival on my blog. This week's theme is high school yearbooks. I happen to be a photo nut... and I thought it would be fun to see what some of my favorite bloggers looked like in their yearbook days. A few of the photo submissions you see here are current photos of bloggers (we won't hold it against you that you are young enough to be our CHILDREN).

Take some time and visit each of the links below. You might go blind if you try to do it all in one sitting. Bookmark this post and come back with a cup of coffee when you have a free moment. You'll be amazed at the talent, inspiration, wit, and information that each blogger has to offer the homeschool community. Each week there's a new carnival of homeschooling, so be sure to check Henry's blog to find out where the next carnival will be located. He also has information as to how you can enter one of your posts in the mix.

Be sure to 'sign my yearbook' below after you read through the carnival! In other words, leave a comment and let me know you stopped in!

CLASS FAVORITES

Every year in schools around America some lucky guys and girls will be chosen to represent their class in some form or fashion. Maybe they have the 'best smile' or the 'coolest car'. For whatever reason, they may be the 'most popular' or 'geekiest'. Maybe they have an outgoing personality or make the best grades? Here are a couple of gals who have a special spot in our homeschool yearbook for their contribution to this week's carnival. They are our brightest of the 'Class of 2007'. Isn't it nice to know that your students don't have to compete in the rat race at public school to be the most beautiful or best dressed? In homeschooling, we get to focus on things that matter much more than our cars or our clothes. We get to focus on learning... and then we can all share the title of 'best smile'!

ATTITUDE

Here in the world of homeschooling, we place a special value on our student's character and attitude. Many of our faculty are believers in moral success as well as academic success. We believe in building the whole student... the heart and not just the mind.

JacqueLearning Patience
Super Mom, er, Grouch... Seeking Rest In The Ancient Paths

Jacque, our Homecoming Queen, shares with honesty that even though she's got a lot of popularity, she still has days when her personality needs improvement. Her candid words are an inspiration to all of us: "I have always hated it when someone asks me those 2 ominous subjects about homeschooling: 'How do you do it?' and anything about patience." I'm sure she's learning some positive lessons. Just look at the homecoming mums that adorn her homecoming gown! Someone out there thinks she's great!

LIBRARY LOVE-AFFAIR

Where would we be without our library at Homeschool Blogosphere Academy? In our school halls, you will find that all our faculty are just as bad about browsing the aisles as the students are. Some of the Homeschool Blogosphere High students are nearly tripping down the stairs over each other because they won't put down their books. This school is a bookworm's paradise. Homeschooling tends to bring out the 'reader' in you.

Life Without Libraries?
Better Than Christmas... ... Life Without School

Becky, our library aide, shares her winning UIL creative writing short story: "Better than Christmas". In it she tells of a far away land (New Jersey) where the libraries shut down for six long months! Her story sounds like a horror film in the making!

WALKING TO SCHOOL

It is nice to be AT school when you wake up. Our classes don't loose any time in line, outside the bathroom, or waiting to be seen by the school nurse. Our student teacher ratio is way down... just a handful to one (and in some classes, 1 to 1!). Each student in our schools has the added advantage of never needing a medical permission slip, either. There's no excuse for missing the bus... because there isn't a bus. It is also nice to have an "off campus" policy that is so liberal. Lunch time is a breeze with mom always available to either cook or drive you to Mc Donalds on a whim. How about a picnic after 4th period Math Class? No problem. Our schedule and our school location is very flexible.

Keeping a Green Hour
BarbThe Heart of Harmony - Only Going for a Walk... The Heart of Harmony.

Our FFA Sweetheart, Barb-Harmony-Art-Mom shares in the beauty of the good 'ol outdoors. She has made nature her friend by spending a little time outside with her class each day.

On the one hand, I say 'you're right' and I feel that it's part of my job as a parent to do just that. On the other hand, I wonder which world is the real one."

TROUBLE AT THE BUS STOP


Every school has their fair share of trouble makers. Admittedly, they were fewer in past decades it seems... but there has always been a secret (or not-so-secret) smoking area, the famed outcast group, or someone caught skipping school (or worse). Even in homeschooling, there may be a few behavioral write-ups... however, skipping school is much harder at home when your MOM is the teacher. Below, Homeschool Blogosphere High discusses some touchy subjects about problems that parents need to be aware of:

Hahahaha

I wish I had a copy of someone's yearbook that I signed in high school. I used to draw these girls' faces in them and take up half a page! I was such a gothic dork.

Now if only my husband will forgive me for making him sleep in my daughter's room last night. The kids slept in my bed with me since Daddy moved out. They thought that was great. Hahaha. I really should consider putting this computer in another room.... or maybe just not blogging at night - hey there's an idea!
