Not Back to School Blog Hop

“Not” Back-to-School Blog Hop: Day in the Life



It’s that time of year. All the stores are shouting: BACK TO SCHOOL. But for many of us, it’s “school as usual.” Not anymore! Time for some fanfare! Join us for the Original Back to School Blog Hop. This is the 4th annual “Not” Back-to-School Blog Hop. Originally hosted by Darcy at Life with My 3 Boybarians, the blog hop has now moved to iHomeschool Network.

Homeschool Programming, Inc has a fabulous GIVEAWAY for YOU!

One lucky person who links up on this post will win the introductory semester plus instructional video to KidCoder or TeenCoder, a $90 value.

This week is Day in the Life!

Do you rise at dawn, say the pledge of allegiance, sit at desks, have recess? Do you school year round or do nature hikes? Or do you start well-caffeinated and hide in the bathroom for your own recess? Tell us about a typical (or not so typical) day in the life of your homeschool.

This week is Student Photo Hop!

It’s a “not back to school photo” hop. This time, share your students! All too often, homeschoolers forget to take that token not-back-to-school photo. So, you can wear a backpack and new shoes like the typical first-day-of-school photos, or you can wear a batman costume, goggles and barefeet – like my homeschoolers. Come as you are. First-day-of school photos shared.
