Jeneric Jeneralities ~ by JenIG

The nice thing about having friends is
that you can ask them to do stuff that you don't want to do and
sometimes they will feel obligated to do it for you.

Here was my desparate email to Jammie:

will
you please pick the winner for my latin contest? please? i'll send you
a Draw Write Now for being my official picker.  will ya will ya
will ya?  i asked another blogger but they
must be offline because i never heard back from her and i need to choose a winner…

please???

and then here was her response:
Jen
okie dokie~  Here you go:  I gave everyone a random number and told my husband to pick a  number.  HE chose Chickadee!  Thanks for giving me almost a vacation by choosing the winner!  What a fun job you have
Love,
Jen

Thanks
Jammie! You're the coolest.  Jammie and Chickadee, you BOTH need
to email me your address so i can send you your loot. 
JenIG@TheHomeschoolMagazine.com


And now, without any delay, we are going to jump right in to our NEXT
contest, which is the BEST phonics program ever put together. 
This contest includes both the Phonics Pathway curriculum AND the Pyramid book that goes with it.  Me and Gena both used these books to teach our kids to read. 

Dolores Hiskes was kind enough to send two copies.  ONE copy is going to my friend Dawn because she is starting her very first year of homeschooling this year. 

Here is how you win.… leave a comment here, and then go over and tell Dawn
to pick you to win because (unbeknownst to her) she is picking the next
winner. ha ha.  This will be fun.   Sorry Dawn!
The winner will be announced tomorrow night before ten pm eastern time.

    Oooo! Oooo!

    Pick me! Pick me! Why, you may ask? Because I am the sweetest mommy on the planet and I’m gathering books for my daughter who is getting married next fall and will have babies soon afterward (that’s my plan, anyway) and will need to teach them to read! I’ll be waiting with baited breath for the grand pronouncement. . . Karen

    Consider me officially entered in the Phonics contest. I’m sure the pickin’ will be entirely fair and unbiased so I won’t beg or anything. Are you the sort of person who gets a kisk out of all the groveling that goes on around here?

    I want to play too! I’d love to use this with our four-year-old…if I can convince her to sit still long enough to do something sometime in the next decade.

    Oh, how great it would be!

    Oh wow! I have had my eye of this program as my four year old has been asking about how to sound out words. We are starting our first year of homeschooling this year. We have been doing typical “preschool” fun stuff at home, but this year is a bit overwhelming. Anyway, I would love to be considered for a copy of this program.

    Jennifer

    PS I found your blog a few months ago from Choosing Home. It’s been great. I love your enthusiasm and sense of humor. (No the compliments were not for the book. I just don’t comment often, so I throw everything in at one time. 🙂

    Pick Me, Please!

    I will be starting my first year of homeschooling next year. I have 3 children–2 of which are anxious to learn to read. I would love a good phonics program, maybe I will be the lucky one. I am starting to hold my breath right now!

    Phonics:)

    Hi Jen:)

    This is Angie.:) This is the first time that I have ever posted on a blog:) I thought the Phonics Program contest would be a good time to get my feet wet. I would love… to win this and could really.. use it with our 6 year old. I’m not happy with what I’m using now and would love to try something else.:)

    Have a great day!

    Love,

    Angie:)

    I want it! Teach Your Child to Read in 100 Easy Lessons is just not working with Jared. Why do kids have to go and be all different?
