Poppins Book Nook

I love virtual book clubs, especially for the kids. I participated in one when the kids were smaller and reading picture books, and tried to adapt that same club to their current ages but it didn't work out because I couldn't find books by the recommended authors in their age range.

But my friend Jill at Enchanted Homeschooling Mom invited me to be a co-host in the upcoming season of the Poppins Book Nook, a virtual book club for kids of all ages! The fun thing about this book club is that instead of featuring specific authors each month, there is a featured theme. So, any age can participate and use any level of book just so long as it fits within the specified theme.

Here are the themes for the 2014 - 2015 season …

As an example, for March we will be reading Papa and the Lephrechaun King: The Secret Legend of the Shamrock by Arthur Cola and exploring "Where in the World do Leprechauns Live?" We will read the book and showcase the activities we do surrounding the book.

You are invited to join along! Just come back on the last Monday of each month and leave a comment on my blog post with the link to your post about the book you read and the activities you did! It's that easy … and that fun!

I hope that you will consider joining Poppins Book Nook.

It will be supercalifragilisticexpialadocious!

CTC Math {Schoolhouse Review}

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)

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...
