Core Knowledge Books and a Pretty Bird in my Window
By Lynn, on November 16th, 2007
I went by the thrift store on my way into work yesterday. I found the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th grade Core Knowledge series books! I know there’s a newer edition since these, but that’s okay! When I see books like these, I buy them for our home library. They are a great resource.
What Your Second Grader Needs to Know: Fundamentals of a Good Second Grade Education Revised (The Core Knowledge Series)
Below the Core Knowledge books, there’s Wuthering Heights , a really nice copy, and The Works of William Shakespeare.
I know I have already mentioned the free breadcrumbs, seeds, etc, that I bring home from the bread slicer from time to time. The birds just love them! I was at my desk this morning when a cardinal landed in the pretty bowl I have out there.
He looks like he is peering in to see if there is any danger on the other side of the glass. I wish I could tell him that I would never, ever hurt him, because if he sees me he flies away.

About Lynn
I am the mother of four delightful children: a 23-year-old son, a 20-year-old son, a 17-year-old son, and a bright and bubbly 13-year-old daughter. I share an apartment home with my 17-year-old son and 13-year-old daughter. My little home on the internet is called Rose Cottage because of my love for gardening, roses, and all things romantic and Victorian. Welcome.
I'm a North Carolina girl and I love sharing North Carolina links and information. I do medical transcription from home. My hobbies include making sweet little dolls from clay who are named and have their own stories to tell. I also make old-fashioned brooches. These are for sale in my Etsy shop.
For 13 years continuously, I homeschooled some or all of our four children, but the time came that our homeschool had to be closed. It was the end of a beautiful chapter in my life. I will always be a strong supporter of homeschooling and I will continue to review books and maintain my homeschool website, The Healthy Homeschool. The Players

My Symphony
To live content with small means; to seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion; to be worthy, not respectable, and wealthy, not rich; to study hard, think quietly, talk gently, act frankly; to listen to stars and birds, to babes and sages, with open heart; to bear all cheerfully, do all bravely, await occasions, hurry never. In a word, to let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious, grow up through the common. This is to be my symphony.
William Henry Channing
1810-1884

Hey Lynn…that’s a great shot of the Cardnial..and so nice of you to bring home leftovers for them– sure saves $$ in bird feed!
I bet the series of “what your ___ needs to know”…would sell excellent on Ebay! I’ve found that springtime is the best for selling homeschool items!
Sure wish I had access to a thrift shop, as often as you do!
From your pal Ivy/Michele in very cold Mich.
Thanks Michele! Even now, there’s a black-capped Chickadee out in a feeder full of the seeds and crumbs. The squirrels love them too!
I love being able to check that thrift store every day. I really don’t know what I’d do without it. It has helped me provide things for my family that I could not afford otherwise.
