Halloween is famous for the phrase "Trick or Treat?" With this week's carnival we'll review some of the tricks and treats of homeschooling, along with a few scary items.
Tricks
Tricks can be good, like a trick to adding up a set of numbers.
Amy has some great tips for How to Stock Your Home Library Cheaply at Kids Love Learning.
From Camp Creek Blog is a great lesson on Watercolor Prints. Check out the pictures.
Shannon of Song of My Heart demonstrates how they use a time line to teach history in Timeline Tips and a Freebie!
Linda has some great tips in How is Your Read Aloud Voice? from her blog Higher Up and Further In.
I wonder if every carnival had at least one post about socialization? This week’s first post is by Dana who asks What is it about socialization? on her blog Principled Discovery.
The Rebelious Pastor's Wife writes about The Plus Side of Homeschool Socialization.
Denise teaches combinatorics in Counting 101 at Let’s Play Math!
Treats
Most homeschooling parents seem to feel it is a treat to build strong bonds of love and support with their children.
Lisa shows the American Girl Lapbooks her daughters made at the House of Many Blessings.
Lynn is developing her little artists in Scrapbook For Artist Study at Eclectic Education.
One of the highlights of the week for our daughters is the trip to the library. Are you looking for good books? Kathy reviews School’s Out: Rachel Yoder, Always Trouble Somewhere Book One at Homeschool Reviews.
Speaking of reviews, Elena reviews the movie Akeelah and the Bee at My Domestic Church. It sounds like a good movie.
Homeschoolers are not passive, they go out and learn. At Living the Scientific Life is a great example of how active learning is more powerful in London Zoo, Part One.
The Life Without School Community Blog has some thoughts about Homeschooling with Little Ones in Tow, and asks for suggestions on What to do with the Littles?
Scary things
At times unforeseen events get in our way, like the death of a loved one. The Reluctant Homeschooler writes about finishing a major project in Finally - my IHIPs!
Blogging is a bit scary. I think video blogging is even more scary. Renae of Life Nurturing Education is brave and has Live from East Texas, It’s Me! as she shows us a video of where she blogs and tells us a little about herself.
Scary things - politics
This year is an election year. People have a lot of fears about canidates and issues. Jennifer explains how to get children educated about and interested in politics at Homeschooling and the election, on her blog Getting ahead.
In Obama speaks on homeschooling, Spunky writes that she tried to find out what is Obama’s position on homeschooling and fears that he is not supportive.
Alasandra’s Homeschool Blog Awards comes to the conclusion that Obama Supports Homeschooling.
Sprittibee asks How Government SHOULD Feel About Homeschooling, and then provides one politician’s answer.
Tips?
Over at Dewey’s Treehouse Mama Squirrel is looking for some insight and asks us Explain this one to me (kids choosing fluff books). Do you have any tips?
More tricks
Here are a few more tricks to help you be a better homeschooler:
Lydia informs us about National Novel Writing Month at the Little Blue School.
Becca explains Why Life is always Fair from Inspiration for Mothers . com.
For adults: Skyler reminds us the need to Take Control of Your Continuing Education at Skyler Reep’s Blog.

And finally more treats

Those of you who have been following the carnival for a long time may recognize that we ran with a similar theme two years ago. My wife just couldn't resist using one the the graphics we used two years ago.
This is a picture of our middle daughter at 2 weeks of age. You can see how excited she was to go Tricker Treating.

This carnival was a real treat. I am looking forward to reading all the terrific post. Thanks for including me.
The entire carnival looks great, but the real treat is the photo of your dd at the end....too cute!
Thanks for including my post :)
Thanks for getting the carnival up, it looks great! I love the picture at the end and could probably find one of my 2 week old daughter on her first halloween if I dug hard enough. Her expression would probably be about the same as your dd's.
my younger son was 2 weeks old on his first halloween also! :^)

Maybe we should have a "picture" carnival and share cute Halloween pictures of our kids when they were babies.
Thanks to everyone who participated and/or helped promote the carnival.
As always it was a lot of work and a lot of fun.
