Free Homeschooling Resources to Help Parents Raise Lifelong Learners
The kids and I came up with a catchy mnemonic to memorize the location of the Great Lakes. First we memorized the names of the Great Lakes (Superior, Huron, Ontario, Michigan, Erie) and then we used the mnemonic SHO ME (pronounced "show me") to remember their locations. It's worked wonders and the kids have no problems at all remember which lake is which. "Sho me" the Great Lakes!

By doing web searches online and referring others to do the same, I earn Swagbucks which I then redeem for Amazon.com gift cards. I then use the gift cards to 'purchase' books for free. If you like free stuff, you can sign up for Swagbucks too!
Joy is the wife of Jeff and mom to three more J's — Jaden, Jerah, and Joely.
She and her husband have been homeschooling their children since 2005, when their children were 3, 6, and 8. Joy works from home as a web & graphic designer and spends what little free time she has with her nose buried in a good book.
Joy's motto for parenting, homeschooling, and even business is “Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.” And that's what FiveJs.com is all about — teaching our children to "fish."
