Home School Freebies and Curriculum Swap

We are introducing this site to you as a part of Gleaning the Harvest’s Home School Curriculum-Supplies Swap. Please check out our page and see how you can participate in it. I personally have stacks of books that I can give to families who will use it – how about you!? I also know families who are in need of curriculum that may be sitting in boxes in closets, under beds, hidden on bookshelves…

Where are yours?

Home schooling is a very important aspect of Gleaning the Harvest. We are proud to be able to encourage parents to walk in the Word and teach their children apart from the ungodliness of the public school system.

An Old-Fashioned Education

An Old-Fashioned Education is a site that offers links to free curriculum resources as well as a curriculum that Maggie set up herself. Her Old Fashioned Education Curriculum was created using free texts which are available on the Internet. Most of the books were published
before 1923, so they are now in the public domain. Most of the original copyrights have expired, and these books may be used by anyone, any way they like. Most of those whose copyrights are still held allow you to download, print or copy their books free for personal use.

Most of what is listed on her site is free to you. The exceptions are: a few math and science books.

Her stipulation for using her curriculum is this:  “curriculum is free to use and share with others. It may not be bought or sold and no money may be charged for sharing it, not even shipping and handling. If you send it to your sister in Peru, then you must pay for the shipping yourself. This is to ensure that no one profits from my work.

Here are the education subjects, from the sidebar:

• American History
• Anthologies
• Arithmetic
• Art Appreciation
• Bible & Religion
• Biography
• Canadian Interest
• Canadian Teacher’s Manuals
• Character & Etiquette
• Christian Classics
• Civics & Government
• Classic Literature
• Composition
• Creationism
• Drama & Public Speaking
• Economics
• Emergency Preparedness
• Fables, Fairy Tales & Nursery Rhymes
• Fiction for Boys

We were so excited when Mr. Israel Wayne emailed about working together to promote Gleaning the Harvest through Home School Digest Magazine. One of our Missions here at Gleaning the Harvest is to promote home schooling, because we feel that it is what God has designated for his people to educate their children, not only in academics and social skills, but especially in wisdom and pursuit of a relationship with him.

Home School Digest is celebrating its 18th year! Each year, thousands of families that are committed to homeschooling and raising Godly children are blessed and encouraged by Home School Digest, and continue to choose HSD as their favorite homeschool publication!

We have diligently been promoting the code on our blogs and websites, Facebook and Twitter. Our friends and partners have been fully supportive of promoting the free issue code as well, and I was excited to receive the information today that we have raised over $600 in credit for the families!

I cannot say how generous an offer this has been for GTH. This will help us get a GTH ad into the hands of every family who receives their magazine. Thank you so much for your support in this! Please be sure to get your complimentary issue of Home School Digest Magazine.

The link to order your FREE sample offer is:
http://www.HomeSchoolDigest.com/hsdsample.htm
and the Promo Code is: GLEAN

Please consider a monthly pledge to one or several of the Gleaning the Harvest Families. You will find all family donation widgets on the Pledge Your Support Here for April 2009 page. You will find individual stories and information about each family linked to their icons in this post as well as on the sidebar.

You can read more about Home School Digest Magazine and Israel Wayne on Wisdom’s Gate.

Thank you to Crystal Paine of Biblical Womanhood

Get A FREE Issue of Home School Digest and Aid GTH!

We received an email from Mr. Israel Wayne through the Gleaning the Harvest emails offering me the opportunity to raise some advertising money for an ad for Gleaning the Harvest in the home schooling magazine, Home School Digest. The awesome thing is that that is not all it is. It is a FREE Sample Issue for all of my friends too.

I ordered my FREE sample issue today, and I wanted to let you know you could too. The emphasis of Home School Digest is on Family Discipleship, Character Building and Developing A Biblical Worldview. HSD is also the nation’s longest-running Christian homeschooling magazine.

The link to order your FREE sample offer is:
http://www.HomeSchoolDigest.com/hsdsample.htm
and the Promo Code is: GLEAN

Be sure to push the Submit Code button after putting in the code GLEAN instead of pushing the Continue button so that the code is accepted. If you get to the page that asks you for a credit card number, that may be the problem.

By using this link and Promo code, you will receive a free sample issue of the magazine, and Gleaning the Harvest will receive $1 in magazine advertising credit.

Please help us by spreading the word about this also via your blogs and websites, in email, on Yahoo groups, in church bulletins and other support groups and meetings.

Thank you, and I hope you get your free sample issue and thanks for supporting GTH!


Thank you to Stephanie at  A High And Noble Calling and all of our Partners
