Intro 
Dr. Adrian Gonzalez Founder of Lola Durez STEM MysteriesThis book series for teens and tweens is designed to raise awareness of the physical and chemical world around them, and the direct connections they have to it. Presented in a fictional story format, concepts that seem boring and irrelevant to young readers are presented in the familiar context of a fictional teenager's life. More topics and themes can be presented in this format than there are elements in the periodic table! 
The book series isn't a replacement for traditional science/math textbooks. Rather, it's a fun and engaging complement to traditional learning experiences.

There's lots of help and connections for the homeschooling community. 
The homeschooling network is vast and growing.

Intro 
Melanie Moyer Co-Founder of Moving Tale: A Yoga Storytelling Adventure along with her sister who is also Co-founder Kathe Hudson. These two sisters former librarians had created many programs for kids; from puppet shows, to puppet show workshops where the kids would learn how to do everything from making the backdrops to performing in the puppet shows themselves.  
 They realized that a large percentage of the kids that came to these programs were homeschooled. Homeschoolers are big utilizers of the library. And as librarians they were happy to help them with resources to enhance their homeschool curriculum.  
 
As yoga instructors they thought it would be fun to Make the story come alive. They began writing their own stories and incorporate a few words from the region they were focusing on to give kids a small taste of a foreign language. And thus A YOGA STORYTELLING ADVENTURE was born!
