Technology and online learning opens up all kinds of possibilities when it comes to homeschool science curriculum. I had the opportunity to review what the Homeschool Buyers Co-op has to offer homeschooling parents who are looking for science ideas. (If you remember, we also checked out Homeschool Math Curriculum Ideas for Kids Who Learn Differently with …

Two of my favorite topics to study are history and religion. So when I was presented with the opportunity to review the Association of Religion Data Archives (ADRA) website, I said, “Yes, please!” As always when I do reviews, I was compensated for my time, but all opinions are my own and I was not …

I received a one year subscription to always-icecream.com in exchange for my review. All content and opinions are my own (except the video produced by Always Icecream).

We thoroughly enjoy learning about the International Space Station (ISS). I keep track of when it will be flying over our home and if it works out with bedtimes, we’ll go out in front of the house and watch it go over. By using NASA’s simple Spot the Station feature, you can use the pull …

Caroline loves to learn via technology and she prefers to learn on her own. We allowed her to start using the computer when she was nearing age five (if I remember correctly).

//  by 

Post may contain affiliate links to materials I recommend. Read my full disclosure statement.

Perhaps the best website I’ve used with Caroline is ABC Mouse. It is by subscription, but worth every penny in my opinion. There are two things that set ABC Mouse apart from other learning websites. The first is the high quality of the site in general. The graphics and production level are far superior to …

Eyewitness to History – Firsthand Accounts of Historical Events

//  by 

Post may contain affiliate links to materials I recommend. Read my full disclosure statement.

History has always been one of my favorite subjects. I especially enjoy reading or listening to firsthand accounts of historical events from people who were there. It is so much more powerful than learning about it second-hand. I also think it is a much more effective way to teach. Eyewitness to History is a website …

Post may contain affiliate links to materials I recommend. Read my full disclosure statement.

We happened across Wild Kratts a few months ago. We had a DVD of three Zaboomafoo episodes that Caroline received a few years ago with a magazine subscription. It was a bit above her at the time so I put it away. She pulled it out recently and I looked to see if I could …
