Welcome! I would like to give a warm hello to all of the new subscribers to TheHomeSchoolMom's Free Homeschool Resources Newsletter, and to say thank you to those of you who have been with us for some time. For those of you new to the newsletter, there will not be a regular issue until late summer due to our move to the country. Our move takes place next week, then the real work starts! I found a great incubator at our local used curriculum sale yesterday, and this time when we incubate chick eggs, we will get to keep the chicks. (If you haven't tried this school activity yet, you are missing out on a great project. Check with your local county extension office for free or low cost loaner incubators.) I have recently updated the Natural Disasters page on TheHomeSchoolMom to include almost a dozen great links with information on tornadoes. Thanks for your patience while we take a break from regular newsletter issues, and I will continue to send out great deals or sites of particular interest as I come across them. http://www.thehomeschoolmom.com/naturaldisasters.html Natural Disasters If someone forwarded this newsletter to you, you can get your own subscription here: [EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=subscribe ~~~~ Contents ~~~~ 1.
