Virtual Tour of Welland Canal

This brings back memories of picnics along the canal where we would watch the ships go by.

If you put this on full screen it’s like being right on the ship. Looks like it takes a whole day to go through all the locks. A trip through the Welland Canal.                             http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U15Fwo9tbJ4

Homeschool Freebie

There is a new Canadian Homesschool magazine!  If you haven't seen it yet here's your chance.

 

Enjoy!

 

We're REALLY excited here at Homeschool Horizons!  As you know, Homeschool Horizons Magazine is a print publication which offers encouragement and support to the Canadian homeschool community.  And this holiday season, we're excited to be able to give every homeschooler a FREE GIFT (no purchase necessary, no strings attached, 100% in-the-holiday-spirit FREE!) 

A digital version of our November-December issue just went live online, free for all to view, download, and share! Packed with timely inspiration, Canadian writers (homeschool parents, just like you), and more, you really should check it out and see what Homeschool Horizons is all about!  You can find the FREE digital issue at http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?llr=5ip9bseab&et=1108918575539&s=68&e=001ItIGvDy9kAPQSg5j8XZr_LAHcjTr-Yyk1YH4vdZagfStLW9dlOVViH9_aSMM7CfJLLevWtni2-dQlUMWlZokhkQVeS7urYWOO_YlbMUjyeQBWzHKAFn067Jrt_P-yrW-t0yarTWmSW4=

Please feel free to share this among your homeschool community, your friends, even the skeptics in your community.  We want the homeschooling message to go viral across Canada! We're here and we're here to stay!  

Thank you for your interest in Homeschool Horizons!

ENJOY,

Ontario High School Credits

I have recently learned about these 2 ways to earn high school credits on-line.  The great part is that they are free!  I have sent a few emails to find out more.

Please let me know if you have heard of them or used them before.

Save the Frogs Day is April 29th!

Biologists worldwide are becoming more and more concerned about diminishing frog populations.

Save the Frogs is an organization committed to ensuring the survival of frogs. To support their efforts, we will be offering a 25% discount on all purchases of The Digital Frog 2.5 on April 29, Save the Frogs day. PLUS, we will donate 25% of all those sales to the Save the Frogs Foundation. We accept orders by phone or at our online store. Follow this link for Home School pricing ( http://www.digitalfrog.com/store/home.php?cat=266). Note: The 25% discount will only show up on April 29th.

If you switch to digital frog dissection, you will not only save frogs - but you’ll also save money and you won’t have to deal with the smell off formaldehyde in your home! The Digital frog 2.5 includes a comprehensive anatomy and physiology module as well as an ecology module.

Of course, we offer much, much more than the Digital Frog program. Teachers and homeschoolers of all grade levels love our Digital Field Trip Series which takes students to three different biomes (Desert, Rainforest and Wetlands ) and engages students in a wide variety of learning activities.

And our ScienceMatrix:Cell Structure and Function program has won our most prestigious award - a World Summit Award.

P.S. Become a Facebook fan of Digital Frog and Save the Frogs and help spread the word :)

We own digital frog, the digital feild trips as well as the cell matrix.  They are a wonderful resource!  In the next year we will be studying biology.  I did not purchase the disection kit for the curriculum because we will be using digital frog!
