Photo cling
On Wednesday, August 18, Walgreen’s is offering a free photo cling, one per photo account. This is part of their seven days of deals going on this week. Note: If you are checking this on Tuesday evening, you will see their deal for Tuesday, but after midnight the photo cling should be their featured daily special.
Now, with a new school year just around the corner, I immediately thought about far more than just that cute picture of my kids languishing on my camera’s memory card.
These photo clings can be up to 11×17 in size. So, how much educational content can you cram into that space?
Here are some ideas I came up with:
– Time line figures
– Maps
– Diagrams
– First day of school photo
– School information (your schedule, expectations, inspirational quotes, etc.)
– A serene picture to serve as a mental pick-me-up on “those” days
– A flag
– Flags from around the world
– Presidents
You could even make a game out of it. Match countries with their flags, put presidents in order, put together a diagram of a flower or a model of the solar system.
I can seen your wheels turning, so go order your cling for free (you will have to pay shipping which is $5.99. Most deals you can opt to pick up in store and forgo the shipping charge, but that doesn’t appear to be the case with this product), and please share your ideas here or on our facebook page as well. And, if you decide to use it for that memorable picture from your summer vacation, it will also be well used.
Free and inspires creativity, that works for me!
CLA Rummage sale
If anyone is interested, you might find some school equipment useful to your homeschool at this rummage sale at the old Arlington High School building, now Christian Liberty Academy. The article only really mentions lockers, but I am sure there will be a lot of other finds as well:

TOS sale
I wanted to let you all know about a special on a great homeschool magazine going on just this weekend. The Old Schoolhouse is a quarterly publication with over 200 pages in each issue. I have appreciated the many articles on homeschool organization, maintaining your focus, and special tips to add some fun to your day. Once or twice a year they have a great sale going on the magazine, and one of those times is this weekend.
If you missed attending a homeschool convention this year, or find yourself needing a little encouragement as we head into a new school year, you will enjoy the free gift that comes with a 2 year subscription — Schoolhouse Expo to Go. Read about the deal, and check out the link below:
TOS Magazine has a VERY exciting special happening from now until August 1, only. Normally our two-year subscriptions are $39, but right now they are $17.95 AND anyone who subscribes for those two years will receive for FREE our Schoolhouse Expo to Go which is hours and hours of our recent (Spring) online convention recordings. Speakers like Susan Wise Bauer, Diana Waring, Todd Wilson, Mark Hamby, Deborah Wuehler, Andrew Pudewa, Carol Barnier, Amanda Bennett, and more are all YOURS, free with a two year subscription. Here is the link to check out and share: http://tinyurl.com/2d9y755
If you already subscribe you can add on during this deal to get another 2 years and the free Expo.
Hope you find this helpful!

Staples Deals
Fourth of July must be over because the back to school deals have begun!
ONLY THROUGH WEDNESDAY~
Be sure to swing by Staples for their penny deals. See all the details in their add or view it online.
While it is a good deal, it is not as incredible as past years because this time around they require an additional purchase. Be sure to read the stipulations carefully.
So, with an additional $5 purchase you can get pencils and folders for a penny each! They have lots of other great deals for $1, so be sure to look and see what you can use or stock up for the year ahead with these great prices.
I’m sure there are more to come in the weeks ahead. They usually have different items on sale for a penny or a nickle each week for a few weeks. Snatch them up while you can!
Fourth of July special
Special free download in celebration of the Fourth of July. Also, a special sale on Marilyn Boyer’s new book.
Great reminders to focus on more than barbecues and fireworks this weekend.
Happy Fourth of July!
