Dept. of Education Adds Office of Innovation and Improvement 5. Homeschool Heartbeat: Standardized Testing S P E C I A L O F F E R ====================================================================== Note from Mike Farris: For several years I have been using a CD-ROM that contains a wealth of historical materials. It is an incredibly valuable tool I have recommended for years. Recently, I met the people who publish this material. They have now created a far more comprehensive version of the program online called originalsources.com. In addition to history and law, they have original materials in literature, science, and much, much more. The online version costs $19.99 a year. (The old cd version used to cost about $70.) Originalsources will donate half the money generated from people who sign up for this service at our recommendation, to the PHC scholarship fund. This excellent, yet inexpensive, resource is a great way supplement your home school curriculum while helping home school students with scholarships at Patrick Henry College.
