We attended the Air and Space Museum’s Air Force Week today.
We saw a lot of other homeschoolers out there today : )
I found this great article on http://www.homeschoolviews.com/feature/education-in-the-kitchen.html
and wanted to share with all those who homeschool.
10 Great Educational Reasons to Cook with Your Kids!
Homeschool and all our resources : )
Lego Boy was having difficulty grasping his place values in the Thousands (Thousand, Ten Thousand, Hundred Thousand) up to a million. He completely understands ones, tens, and hundreds.
Lego Boy is a visual learner, so I adopted this game from File Folder Fun and adjusted and added the place values up to a million to show him visually their placement. I also added a disagram from www.enchantedlearning.com
to reinforce the concept. After a few run throughs and 10 minutes later he understood : )
Yeah File Folder Games for aiding visual learners : )
I ordered this product specifically for my oldest daughter (11 years old) who needs the damage undone from a public school “lack” of education. It has quickly became one of our favorite homeschool curriculums. We have discovered that reading and writing are two different skills. While my daughter could breeze through many books, she was having difficulties with actually writing a majority of her words. It pained me to see her struggle so much when she has such a love for Literature. What we found out was that she was spelling phonetically the way she heard the words pronounced. Well on some words this is not adequate. In example, try to spell “consequence “the way you hear it. How about “Jewelry“? Now you get my point. Within the first two lessons my daughter understood that anytime you write a q there will be a u behind it. It is simple rules like this one that has enabled my daughter in spelling efficiently. I had been looking for a program like this for almost a year when I stumbled across All About Spelling. I believe in this program so much that I have become an affiliate for All About Spelling. What I found out was it is not only good for my oldest daughter but also my 9 year old son, my 7 year old daughter and soon it will come in handy for my soon to be 5 year old daughter. All about Spelling is a Multi-Sensory program, so it works well for my auditory learner, my kinesthetic/ tactile learner, and my visual learner, which eliminates the need to buy multiple products. I especially LOVE that there is no need to buy the program more than once, as it is reusable over and over again for all age levels. Some programs you buy, you must buy another set of books for each individual child- this is not the case with All About Spelling. Anyway, here is some additional information below straight from All About Spelling.
