A few little bits of homeschool news from the web:

1. Miss Maggie has closed down the Old Fashioned Education user’s group, effective 13 March 2008. The OFE web site is still available to you, though, with a whole ton of great resources for homeschoolers interested in Charlotte Mason or classical methodology. If you need the password for the MEP free math curriculum, please go to the MEP user’s group.
2. Did you know America’s most famous female aviator was once a social worker? Learn about this and much more in the new quarterly freebie from Hands of a Child - an Amelia Earhart project pack. This download will be available without charge until 16 June 2008. You’ll need to sign up for an account, but they don’t spam or sell addresses. Don’t forget to check out their 2008 catalogue while you are there. If you see something you could use, there is a buy 2 get 1 free coupon on the home page which is good until 31 March 2008. Take advantage!
3. The Easter Egg Hunt is on at CurrClick. Remember that there are a whole bunch of free downloads, and up to 75% savings on other offerings. The weekly freebie is up, as well. It is The History of Sports, another wonderful project pack from Hands of a Child. Remember to get your copy while you’re hunting for eggs!
4. This week’s Carnival of Homeschooling will be hosted by Janet Campbell at Taking Time for Things that Matter; look for us after Tuesday. Voting for the image that best suits the blog carnival continues here (medium image) and here (any size.)
