When my daughter was in the early elementary years, we focused on the three R's for our homeschooling. Then in the summers, we usually added in some science studies. So when I was looking for a resource for our summer science activities one year, I wanted something fun and hands-on. And I found both of these qualities in ScienceWorks-ENERGY, by Evan-Moor. SCIENCE CONCEPTS ScienceWorks-ENERGY … [Read more...] about Hands-On Elementary Science – Science Works Book

Review Math On DVD Calculus
Last winter I reviewed Math on DVD Pre-Calculus by Steven Gottlieb. Since then my son has been learning calculus, and it has not been easy.

And, while it … [Read more...] about Review Math On DVD Calculus
A Collection Of Math Lessons Review
When my twelve-year-old was seven, math became a chore for him and thus it became a chore for me. When the mere mention of math time caused panic and fear in both of us, I decided we needed to change our routine up. At that point I’d been doing a lot of research and running from something dubbed in the homeschool community as Living Math. In short, we chucked our math curriculum out the window … [Read more...] about A Collection Of Math Lessons Review
10-20-30Go! Prayer, Reading, Chore System Review
I know, another chore system. I thought the same thing. Why would this be any different than the other chore systems that we have tried and abandoned over the years?

We were about to begin our summer schedule, and one of the areas that ends up getting ignored … [Read more...] about 10-20-30Go! Prayer, Reading, Chore System Review

Well summer is just about here, although you would be hard pressed to say so here in England. We have largely cool weather speckled with beautifully warm days - just to show us what 'could-be' :o).
