Math Galaxy Review

Posted in Reviews

Math Galaxy believes that there is a place for both teachers and computers in a student’s learning processes.  By tapping into the best of both, the student can gain the best education.  The teacher can best gauge where a student needs the most work, and the computer can drill the student with those types of problems until they master the concept. Math Galaxy starts from the beginning, with addition and multiplication tables and single-digit operations, but its main focus is on where children start having trouble with math: multi-step problem-solving. Since Munchkin is currently working her way through Algebra, I…

What Am I? Review

Even if you are not using this All About Spelling program, your child will enjoy this delightful collection of stories.  This 160 page…

Seasons of Faith Review

Posted in Christian Life, Homeschooling, and Reviews

We are quite familiar with Children’s Bible Hour (CBH) here at our house.  Ever since Munchkin started doing devotions on her own, she’s been using the Keys for Kids program.  She loves receiving her devotionals in the mail.  When we received the Seasons of Faith series of books, Munchkin was really excited as these books were all mentioned in her Keys for Kids devotionals. Munchkin enjoyed reading each of these books.  She liked the illustrations and the stories.  She thought it was cool that each book represented a season which represented a time period in the Christian walk: Spring: This…

Homeschool in the Woods: Old World Style Maps

Posted in Homeschooling, and Reviews

Homeschool in the Woods is known for the high quality homeschool resources.  I can honestly say that I have never been disappointed by any of their resources, and these maps were no exception.  I received a download of their new Olde World Style Maps Combo.  The combo contains both the United States Maps and the World Maps.  The maps are in black and white, so you and your children can color them as desired.  They also have labeled and unlabeled versions of the maps. The World Maps have both modern and ancient maps.  It comes with a bonus of over…
