He reviewed what he's learned about cells the past two weeks, and I had dinner made by someone else. Win, win!!

    Looks like a great way to review these things. I remember making a cell out of recycling stuff.

    Wow! Dawson did a great job. I have been anticipating his creative cells from when you mentioned him having to do one a couple of post ago. These are awesome and now I am hungry! ;)

    Thank You. I have children that learn so differently. Dawson and you have helped encourage me to grab those moments of teaching outside the box.

    HI! I love your son's creativity! I am planning to use the plant cell cookie in my Classical Conversations class on Friday. Can you tell me what he used to create the cookie? It looked like Hot Tamales, but that was all I could really see for sure! Thank you!

      The cookie is made with red sprinkles for the nucleus, a gummy lifesaver, hot tamales, and black icing. Hope your group has fun!

      I honestly don't know where we got the images. My son just pulled them up on his iPhone. I'd just google animal cell and plant cell images and see what comes up.

      That was a long time, lol! It looks like I used black olive slices, green and red pepper slices, a piece of thin sliced ham, a mushroom button, onion slices, and pepperonis. Have fun!

CTC Math {Schoolhouse Review}

By
We found our groove with math this year. I found a curriculum that both of the kids respond well to and seem to enjoy (as much as one can enjoy math). We have spent the whole year learning the ins and outs of multiplication and were just a few lessons away from being ready to move onto the next year-long level on division. And then an opportunity to review the 12 Month Family Plan from  CTC Math became available. To be honest, I wasn't very enthusiastic. I mean, why mess with the methods that have worked so well? When I was chosen to review the product I didn't go into it with the level of enthusiasm that it deserved. We have been using a dvd/workbook curriculum with great success. The 12 Month Family Plan from CTC Math is a web based curriculum. As we have not had a lot of luck with those types of programs, I went into this review with a negative attitude. And then my socks were knocked off by how great it is. In fact it is so great that we are going to continue to ...

Veritas Press Self-Paced History: Old Testament and Ancient Egypt (Schoolhouse Review)

By
For the past several weeks we have been reviewing Veritas Press Self-Paced History: Old Testament and Ancient Egypt and the Old Testament and Ancient Egypt Flashcards  from Veritas Press . As we were entering into our more easy-going summer schedule, and had just concluded a two-year Old Testament Bible course, I was happy to try out this product as it appeared to be something that Eli and Brynne could do together, alone, and would act as a review of the Old Testament presented in a different way. And I was right. Each Veritas Press Self-Paced History program includes 160 lessons teaching about 32 events in history. They are designed for children in grades 2-6, and it is recommended that the student be a minimum of 7 years of age at the time of the first lesson. What We Received We received a full one-year subscription, for one child, to the online Veritas Press Self-Paced History: Old Testament and Ancient Egypt program and the accompanying Old Testament and Ancien...
