Interested in lapidary pursuits? We at Home4School Gear are as well...that is, really interested! This translates into our commitment to not only trying to save you money, but also helping you get what you need! We only carry the highest quality lapidary equipment, premium rough rock, and custom-made jewelry.
Whether you are a novice, hobbyist or professional, we know that things in the world of lapidary can be be expensive, as well as confusing. Why? Because we do lapidary...not just sell it! With that in mind, we have made it a priority to help you make informed decisions. So, email or call us before you buy...and please note that we would rather you get what you need, even if it is from someone else.
Lapidary shows: This summer we have an extensive gem & lapidary show schedule and would love to see you out on the road. If you would like us to bring something to the shows, contact us at least two weeks before and we will bring it to the show (limitations apply). By doing this, you will save money on shipping, as well as be assured that you will be able to purchase what you want. If the items meet with your approval, you may make payment at the show. And please note that you are under no obligation to purchase anything you pre-order.
Finally, periodically we send out a special gem & lapidary newsletter that introduces new products, announce specials and news items of interest (show locations, etc.). Only those that subscribe will be receiving this valuable "insiders" information. To sign up for this opt-in only newsletter, click here. And please note that I promise no more than 2-4 emails a month and will not share or sell your information.
We now carry all 27 outstanding books from Flying Point Press!
Flying Point focuses on narrative nonfiction and historic fiction for readers ages ten to fifteen. They believe that books for young readers should be full of action and adventure, with real-life characters that are bold, active, and heroic. I can tell you that these books are truly "unforgettable stories of personal courage and great events in history."
Currently, the Flying Point books can be categorized around the following eras and themes: Ancient and Medieval History, Colonial and Revolutionary America, The American West, America's First Century, Adventurers and Explorers, and World War II.
So, if you are planning a unit study on history for your ten to fifteen year old, these categories and books are perfect! If you are reading aloud to your children, then these books are appropriate for the younger children as well.
Also, 10 of the 27 Flying Point Press books are from the mostly out-of-print and highly regarded Landmark series. Candidly, because of my appreciation for the Landmark series, this is what originally attracted me to Flying Point. And now with pleasure, I am able to endorse the rest of the 17 books as well!
Finally (if the above were not enough), the books are also aesthetically pleasing and readable, sturdy, as well as affordably priced...only $6.49 each at H4SG! For your wholesome literature needs, you will find it difficult to beat this quality and price package.
We now carry Nature's Ways: Natural History Essays from Wildlife in North Carolina!
For over 20 years, the "Nature's Ways" columns in the pages of Wildlife in North Carolina magazine have answered scores of questions in brief, well-written essays accompanied by the brilliant black-and-white illustrations of David Williams and other artists. And although this resource is specifically about North Carolina wildlife, nature lovers from other regions of the United States will find this to be an excellent resource!
Please note that I will be using Nature's Ways in two of my environmental science tutorials. Click here for more information on the online tutorials we will be offering this September (2008).
Finally, look for the study guide I will be authoring to accompany all 6 volumes of Nature's Way. This resource will help homeschool families that are interested in formalizing their study of nature by providing tests, essay prompts, field trip suggestions, environmental current events, persuasive essay instruction and more...all from a Christian worldview perspective! Due out in the Spring of 2009!
We are proud to announce that Home4School Gear is the exclusive retail distributor of Daily Grammar Practice (DGP) Bible Version!
DGP Bible Version is a highly effective grammar curriculum that only uses sentences that are Scripture related. This can take the form of Scripture verses or principles found in the Bible.
I not only carry DGP Bible Version, but also give it my personal endorsement. I based my decision on rating it in the following two areas against the other available grammar programs:
• Methodology: DGP is not only "effective," but also "efficient." Effective grammar programs are available. However, how effective are they if they are not efficient also? Because DGP delivers a grammar "vitamin" each day, you get all the intellectual nourishment of a full course grammar meal in one bite. Efficiently effective!
• Subject matter: If you are "bringing your children up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord," then the more exposure they (we!) get to the Scripture, the better. DGP Bible Version delivers.
We have posted a downloadable -- Bible Version Scope and Sequence, as well as a sample week from each level.
