Scripture Memorization Made Wonderful: Seeds Family Worship CDs
At some point last year I read about Seeds CDS. Although they received glowing reviews, I thought that at $12.98 apiece they were a bit on the pricey side. I was wrong. They are worth every single penny. Seeds Family Worship CDs contain delightful, powerful songs created using the words of scripture. The songs are sung by accomplished musicians, the … [Read more...] about Scripture Memorization Made Wonderful: Seeds Family Worship CDs

I am always on the lookout for living math books, and when I stumbled upon Arithmetic Village, I knew I had to read this new series of books with my children.

(Yes, even the nine-year old boy enjoys them!) The Arithmetic … [Read more...] about Arithmetic Village Review and Giveaway
Who in the World? Biographies
Our journey through time with Susan Wise Bauer’s children’s history texts, The Story of the World, brought us to the Middle Ages this year. It was quite the exciting romp: We watched as Rome fell, sat entranced as the barbarians invaded, learned about the rise of Islam, discovered exciting events happening in China, Japan, and Australia, sailed the seas with the Norsemen, established the … [Read more...] about Who in the World?

Wordplay Cafe
Wordplay Café by Michael Kline is a set of grammar and vocabulary lessons disguised as a book of games. Truth be told, there are a few lessons that cover logic and Greek and Latin in there, too. The set up of the book itself mimics a menu at a café. There are recipes for games, brain candy (interesting word and language facts), unfortunate cookies (made up but funny definitions for words), … [Read more...] about Wordplay Cafe
Games for Learning
While browsing the Christian Home Educators of Kentucky Convention last year, I came across a booth with several games that looked exciting. The company, HL Games Limited, allowed me the opportunity to review three of those games. All of them are appropriate for middle elementary children and older. Amuse Amaze happens to be our favorite of the three, although all of them are fun. Your job … [Read more...] about Games for Learning
Things People Do
Do you remember elementary school social studies? I remember a few bits and pieces—my memories are of a little American history and a lot of social studies. It seems that we talked quite a bit about how society works. We talked about the police, the fire department, community leaders, the library, and other societal mechanisms. Though I have chosen a chronological approach to history, I still … [Read more...] about Things People Do
Master Writer Quotation Copybooks
I have fairly high standards for copywork. I like for it to be easy to use and cost effective. In addition, while I certainly care about their handwriting, I want my kids' writing practice to consist of more than drill. I want it to provide food for thought. Of course, I really like it when the copywork complements our studies. The Master Writer Quotation Copybooks by Westvon Publishing do … [Read more...] about Master Writer Quotation Copybooks
Answers in Genesis: History Revealed Curriculum Review
We have a new resource in our homeschool: Answers in Genesis' History Revealed. I am learning about spiritual revivals that occurred in the United States in the early 1800s. It is the Biblical basis of history that I now realize I never had in my schooling. I'm so thankful my children are learning HIS-story the first time around. Not only that, Diana Waring and her resources have them excited … [Read more...] about Answers in Genesis: History Revealed Curriculum Review
