Our 2013 Used Book Sale

by | Aug 1, 2013 | Book Sale | 58 comments

It’s time for another Online Curriculum Sale Blog Hop! You can find all the details, browse books for sale on other blogs, or add a link to your own post here.

I didn’t have nearly enough time to prepare for this year’s sale as I would have liked, and still have quite a few books that I’d like to sort though, but I filled a few boxes last night and just finished pricing them all!   Most of these books we no longer use or are duplicate copies we have been given.   I plan to continue going through my bookshelves and adding to this post over the next few days, so please check back for updates!

If you are interested in purchasing any of the items listed, please leave a comment listing the books you would like, along with your email address, and I will send you your total, with shipping, along with my PayPal info. (If you’d rather not leave your email address, you can email me directly at jessica(dot)showerofroses(at)gmail(dot)com.)

Shipping will be a flat rate of $3.00 for 1-3 items (if they will fit in an envelope) and $6.00 for a box of any size, to cover the cost of packaging and media rate in the continental U.S.

Thank you!

    Do you know if it has old Mass responses or is that not really covered? The 2013 edition TOC looks like pretty standard stuff so probably not much has changed? Actually if you want to take a pic of the TOC that would be more helpful than the cover. Thanks Jessica!

    Reply
  33. Jessica Gordon

    I haven't used this book with my children, but looking through it it really doesn't look like it goes into the actual responses, just an overview of what takes place during Mass. I just took a few pictures of the table of contents and will email them to you.

    Jessica, I wish I had seen this sooner as I've been looking for the angel readers. Oh well. 😉 For the seeing stars decoding, how did that help your son? I'm sure you're super busy with emails but I'd appreciate a reply. My second oldest is six and really seems to struggle with cvc sounds, even some letter sounds still. I can tell he is just trying to memorize words to read. I wondered if this might help??? He enjoys drawing, math, handwriting though! Thanks so much!

    Sorry about the Angel Readers! I hope you are able to find some soon.

    Hmmm… Seeing Stars – You can read more on their website and here for the Catch a Star Book. I really don't know too much about them since they were used by the specialist who was tutoring our son at the time… She was also using Word Tracking worksheets, and products from Lindamood-Bell. If you are interested in these I am flexible on the price, since I'd really just like them to go to a home where they will be used. Our son no longer needs the extra practice and I'm very happy with AAR/AAS and PAL for my younger children.

Prayer of Mothers

Father in heaven, grant me the grace to appreciate the dignity which you have conferred on me. Let me realize that not even the Angels have been blessed with such a privilege—to share in your creative miracle and bring new Saints to heaven. Make me a good mother to all my children after the example of Mary, the Mother of your Son. Through the intercession of Jesus and Mary I ask your continued blessings on my family. Let us all be dedicated to your service on earth and attain the eternal happiness of your kingdom in heaven. Amen.

A Little About Me

Hi! I'm Jessica, a Roman Catholic wife and home educating mother to our nine children. I was home educated myself, along with my eleven younger siblings. I have a special devotion to St. Therese, through whom I have been given much help and many blessings--the beautiful "Shower of Roses" that she has sent my way! Here I will record a few of the blessings I treasure. Please remember that what you see here is just a little glimpse at our lives, so please say a prayer for us, as we continue to strive for holiness.
