Virginia Soaps and Scents Review

Posted in Reviews

The owners of Virginia Soaps and Scents are a homeschooling family with nine children living in rural Virginia. Their interest in soap making began with a history lesson and developed into an artistic passion. Their soaps are made with all natural oils – no chemicals. Each bar is hand cut, so no two are exactly the same.

Educaching is an innovative curriculum that combines education and geocaching. If you’ve never heard of geocaching, you can think about it as a high tech treasure hunt using your gps. We loved the idea of incorporating our gps into our school day. Munchkin would learn how to use technology, get exercise, and learn all at the same time. Sounds like a plan to me. The Educaching teacher’s manual starts off with teachers training. You will cover: What is GPS? What is Educaching? Learning the Lingo (terms you need to know in the gps, educaching world) Lesson Plans & Subject Integration…
