Magic Stix Washable Markers Review

Do your little artists love to use markers but forget to put the caps back on? The fun folks at The Pencil Grip, Inc. have come up with a solution: markers that don't dry out even if the cap is left off for up to 7 days! If you are constantly replacing dried out markers Magic Stix Washable Markers may be just what you need to keep your school supply budget in check. We put these markers to the test with this art project. (Source) We turned ours into piranha with some sharp teeth, but of course they can be nice, non-flesh-eating fish too if you prefer. Chalk that one up to having mostly ... Continue Reading...

Drive Thru History Adventures

I'd like to share about a great history curriculum that has brought history alive for my family. Drive Thru History Adventures is a full history curriculum we were invited to review and so far we love it! I'll be the first to admit history is my weak link and I struggle with teaching it, but since we started the Drive Thru History Adventures curriculum I feel like history is stress-free. The idea behind Drive Thru History is Dave Stotts (the witty and sometimes hilarious host) drives around, usually in his Jeep, but sometimes in a rental car, and explores the sights of historical events and ...

Keyboarding for the whole family!

In this age of computers it is essential to learn to type, but the program I picked out for my kids originally was very limited and didn't have good foundations, just skippable lessons and some games. Thankfully we were given the opportunity to try (and review) UltraKey Online Family Subscription from Bytes of Learning. So far this feature-rich typing program has been a blessing to our family. My reluctant typists now ask to work on the games and lessons in UltraKey Online! UltraKey Online Family Subscription includes your own URL to login to your personal program. There will be an ...

Building Character with Audio Adventures

Several of my kids have trouble listening to things being read to them and retaining the information, and practice makes perfect, so we try to work on this often with audio books or radio shows. The wonderfully creative folks at Heirloom Audio Productions sent us Wulf the Saxon to listen to and review. Wulf the Saxon is just one in a series of Audio Adventures Heirloom Audio Productions has released called "The Extraordinary Adventures of G.A. Henty®". These adventures are all based on real historic events and full of the biblical principles I am trying to instill in my kids. Wulf the ... Continue Reading...

SchoolhouseTeachers.com – Resources for Homeschool

http://www.schoolhouseteachers.com/

Parenting is hard. Homeschool parenting can be even more challenging. SchoolhouseTeachers.com is a wonderful resource for homeschool parents.
