Happy Veteran's Day and A Sale!

Happy Veteran's Day to all who have served.  We can never thank you enough.  I opened a new Ecrater store.  New as in I don't sell there.  I had been selling on Etsy and Ebay.  I will continue with an occasional Ebay auction, but have decided to try Ecrater, a completely free marketplace sponsored by Google.  I only have nine items in the store, it takes a long time to get everything listed, but I am having a 25% off sale.  The sale ends at 9 PM Eastern time tonight.  You have a few options to purchase.  You can checkout the item on Ecrater, not sure how their cart looks, so if there is a place for a code put Vets13, and then I will reimburse you the 25% off.  Or, you can contact me at melissaruede@yahoo.com, or on my Facebook page, then I can mark the item down for you and you can buy it.  I have a Paypal merchant account, and have had it for over ten years.  So, you can feel safe buying from me.  This is the link to my Ecrater store, just click it. 

Freebie of the day, Veterans Day, Native Americans

First of all I would like to say Happy Veterans Day, to all vets. Without them, this great country, would not be. So be sure to thank your Vets today, and everyday. Tomorrows lesson plan will include this story about Veterans Day, with printable available http://homeschooling.about.com/cs/unitssubjhol/a/veteransday.htm

Todays Homeschool freebie, is an ebook about Pilgrims. It is part 2, to the one I listed yesterday. As I stated previously we will probably save these for next year, and incorporate them into the curriculum. Here is an exerpt of the ebook: Pilgrim Stories II - The Wild Land & Thanksgiving (PDF ebook) In Part Two, the Pilgrims at long last arrive in the "New World", only to find it a truly "wild land" filled with incredible danger and hardship. Providentially, they are befriended just when they need it most, and the very first Thanksgiving is celebrated. You can get this great ebook by contacting me, or going to www.HomeschoolFreebieOfTheDay.com and signing up for their free newsletter. Each offer is only available for that day, so dont delay.
