When Dan from SpellQuizzer contacted me to find out if I’d like to do a giveaway of SpellQuizzer on my blog, I jumped at the chance. SpellQuizzer is a computer based spelling program that helps kids learn their spelling and vocabulary words. Parents and/or teachers can download one of the pre-made spelling lists, or they can input their own custom spelling lists. I had wanted Munchkin to try out this program as she enjoys computer based games and programs. Generally, she does not like spelling. Part of her problem is that she’s a perfectionist and gets frustrated when she can’t…

A Journey Through Learning Review

Posted in Homeschooling, and Reviews

A Journey Through Learning offers beautiful, full color lapbooks and unit studies at affordable prices. Most of the lapbooks include a study guide so you and/or your student don’t have to search for the answers. Munchkin really enjoys doing lapbooks as long as she doesn’t have to do too many at once. In other words, she prefers to do only one lapbook at at time. We have used lapbooks as complete studies by themselves or as review of what has already been learned. With the Journey Through Learning lapbooks, I cut out the components and paper clipped them to the…

Grapevine Studies Review

Posted in Homeschooling, and Reviews

“Stick Figuring Through the Bible” From the day that we started the Old Testament Overview Level 4, Munchkin was hooked. She loved drawing the stick figures on the timeline. We had only been doing the study for 2 days when she asked me if we’d also be doing the New Testament. I chuckled and said we needed to get through the Old Testament first. The Old Testament Overview starts with making a simple timeline for all of the major events in the Old Testament. Once Munchkin had drawn the timeline, we decided to laminate the timeline before putting it in…

Quarter Mile Math Review

Posted in Homeschooling, and Reviews

Munchkin is good with math, but she does her math very slowly. She hates timed drills and quickly grows frustrated when she can’t think of the answers to simple problems during the drill. We’ve tried various methods to get over this issue, but nothing has really worked. We had tried a demo of The Quarter Mile Math a few years ago, but I had forgotten about it due to moving shortly after trying out the product. When The Quarter Mile Math package arrived in the mail, Munchkin exclaimed, “Hey, it’s the horse race program.” Obviously, the program had made an…
