Here’s a free ebook (I think it is still free) that I have used to teach my son how to write his letters. It’s awesome! I wish I had known about this when I taught my daughters how to write. He loves it too.

Have you ever tried putting drops of water on a piece of wax paper? Boy, this was a real hit at my house for all my children from teens on down.
We put drops of water on wax paper and tried to make them come together, then we separated them and put them together again. We talked about water molecules and their properties. I think I got this idea of Jan VanCleave’s book Chemistry for Every Kid. I couldn’t believe that all my children enjoyed this activity for so long.
I highly recommend you try it!

As part of the TOS homeschool crew, I was able to review the book Beehive Reader. We loved the All About Spelling program, so I figured I was getting another high quality product. Little did I know Read more »
Some of us in the Homeschool Crew received some Math Mammoth books to review. Since my son is 8 and has a pretty good understanding of his addition, subtraction, and multiplication facts, I chose to review Introduction to Fractions and Early Geometry.
Both books are Read more »
Have you seen this movie yet? It is AWESOME! I thought I would take today to give you a How Great is Our God DVD review.
We watched it at church last Sunday. I’ve heard a lot about this movie. One Sunday School teacher showed it this past summer in his class. Many people bought the DVD and showed it to many of their friends and family members. Others are using this as Read more »

Here is a website I found that is really fun for children (especially boys) to help reinforce their times tables. You can download the program for free. The only thing I wanted to mention is that it has kind of a dark castle theme with a ogre type man that comes out with times facts on the front of his shirt that you need to solve. If your children would be afraid of this you might want to check it out first.

Here’s a website that could get your children excited (or even more excited) about Science. It’s Robert Krampf’s Science Website. He has free Science videos, an experiment of the week and live science demonstrations. If you’re like me and always mess up those Science experiments or just want a scientist to perform your experiments for you, then this site is for you. Check it out – http://www.krampf.com/

I found this website called Math is Fun. Most of the time when you find an interactive website it is mostly for younger children learning their basic facts. This website tackles Algebra and Geometry too!

In Ohio we can take the ACT or SAT. It seems that the ACT is more popular, although some students take both tests. I was able to review a program called College Prep Genius. It is a full course developed by a homeschool Mom on how to score well on the SAT.
The course includes Read more »
