Eclectic Journal (Space Cover) Review

Image
I have been helping Sarah from The Thinking Tree  write some of the Amazon descriptions. After I had written about twenty of them, we realized that Amazon only allows so many characters/words, haha, so we have to take some words out. My goal when writing the description was to really give you mamas an idea of what was in that particular journal. I get so many questions with people wanting to know this-or-that about a journal. I thought all that work, and we have to shorten the description, hehe. Anyway, Sarah and I thought it would be great to share with you all. Eclectic Journal (Space Cover) Is mom needing a break from teaching for 6 weeks?!?! Would you like to give your child four hours of fun and guided learning so you can get some much-needed housework done or teach another child? The Do-it-Yourself Homeschooling Journal can help! This journal is recommended for ages 9-17 and works best if your child reads at a 2 nd or 3rd-grade level. The  Do-it-Yourself Homeschool Journal

Summer Journal Kids out of school and need something to keep their minds active, that’s where the Summer Journal comes in.  If your child can read at least a 2nd-grade level and is between the ages of 7 to 17 then he or she is ready for some fun learning through the summer (or any time of the year). Younger children may need some help while older children can work independently.

Look What We Found

I was excited to see this in my neighborhood! This is between two houses on a little path to the pool. I had seen it before but from an angle where I couldn't tell what it was. I usually saw it as we were driving away. Yesterday Annette and I passed it and I was so super excited to see it was a Little Free Library and my kids knew about it!!! Can you believe that, and they didn't even tell their mama! We peeked inside, Annette found a book she was interested in reading and so did I. And because we didn't want to just take, plus we have tons of books at home, we walked home, and returned with six books to add to the Little Free Library.

Horse Dreams (by Naomi) Do you have a horse loving daughter in your home between the ages of 7-10 (or a little older)? If so The Thinking Tree has a journal just for her! Horse Dreams has 180 Learning Games, Lessons, & Activities. This one is extra special because 11-year-old Naomi Brown (the author’s daughter) illustrated and helped put this one together. What an inspiration Naomi is to other girls her age! Action Steps: Go

Real Science 4 Kids Middle School Chemistry Review!

Is your child interested in chemistry? Real Science 4 Kids Focus on Middle School Chemistry for grades 5-8. I love that the text is in color and keywords are bolded in red. The font is fun and "kid" friendly. By "kid friendly" I mean that it doesn't look like regular textbook fonts like Times Roman or Serif fonts which for kids can get pretty boring and seem "adultish". What I received: ~Middle School Chemistry Teachers Manual: the teachers manual is an 88-page softcover book that contains much more than an answer key! The Teacher Manual has mini pages of the student workbook with the answers, For each chapter, it lists the materials needed, the time required,, and sometimes a 'Just for Fun' for instance in chapter 6: Mixtures there is a recipe for Easy Chocolate Cake! There are notes for each section in the workbook for example in chapter 6 section 6.4 it will tell you that the main point to emphasize in this section is how soap "allow
