Review: Principles of Marketing

Posted in Reviews

Munchkin was excited about the possibility of doing this review as she currently is thinking about her plans for the future.  When we received the dvd, I popped it into the computer and started printing out the lesson plans, learning objectives (by chapter), course syllabus, and key terms (by chapter).  (You can view these on the computer, but I wanted to have physical copies for Munchkin.)  I had Munchkin look over everything prior to starting the lessons, so she would have a better understanding of the class. For the classes themselves, the student listens to a lecture accompanied with powerpoint…

Rubik’s Cube + Scrabble = Scruble Cube

Posted in Reviews

Most of us are pretty familiar with both Scrabble and the Rubik’s Cube, but have you heard of the Scruble Cube?  No?  Well, I hadn’t either until I was introduced to it through the Homeschool Crew.  As soon as I saw it, I was intrigued, and I admit, a little intimidated.  Hmmm….  So, not only do I need to come up with words like in Scrabble, but I also need to be able to plan everything out and rotate a cube to be able to score points.  **gulp** Game Play Players take turn forming words on the cube.  The letters…

Tri-Cross Game Review

Posted in Photography, and Reviews

Checkers meets Stratego… That’s how D described this fun game of strategy called Tri-Cross. When the game arrived at the house, we all read through the instructions of this completely new to us game, but it didn’t really “click” until we watched the video on how to play. There are different versions of the game which have varying degrees of difficulty. We decided to stick with the beginner version as we got use to the game play.  (The beginner version is shown above, and the more advanced version is shown below.) It was soon very apparent that this was Daddy’s…

A Fun New Tool

Posted in Family, and Homeschooling

Project 365 – #262 I was blessed with the opportunity to review a Bamboo tablet which arrived today.  We’ve been having fun playing with it tonight.  It’s a fun tool, but it’s also a functional tool that we’ll be able to use for our homeschool. Today, we were just experimenting with some of the different features and programs that came with it.  We played a game, tested out the note taking tools, had fun doing a little drawing, and playing with some of the picture features.  There was a good bit of laughter and “this is so cool” going on…
