What Curriculum Do We Use?
This year has come together swimmingly as far as 'curriculum' goes. I switched from Simply Charlotte Mason as our guide and went to Ambelside Online. Ambelside seems a little more challenging. So far so good. There's more assigned reading than my kids are used to, but it isn't twaddle. Their Schedule: History Autobiography of Ben Franklin History of American People by Johnson, Paul Young Patriots Class with Founders Academy +extra assignements Language Arts: Grammar…
Library and Education Services~TOS review
This curriculum wasn't without eye rolls from my almost 13 year old and is 15 year old sister. The cover says recommended for ages 6-14. It was a bit dated and the host was super the eye rolls. That almost 13 year old watched the ENTIRE DVD of Chemistry in one sitting. I would say the flames in one of the experiments didn't hurt with holding his attention. This is Christian curriculum. Although the host…

You teammates have to guess the word you are trying to build before the sand timer runs out. Some twists? You may have to build the word with your eyes closed with one hand with only a 5 of the…
Reading Eggs TOS review
screen shot for the new readers. We glanced at it for a for the new all the same. Below is the screen shot of the game for the more advanced reader. Say ages 7-12. They can choose between going to the mall, library, stadium, or the comprehension gym. Going to the library they can pick out a book. Read it online and then get 'eggs' for reading it. For example Timon of Athens will…

They had a drop down menu to search by health concern.…
Learn Our History TOS review
I initially thought this would be like Liberty Kids. It was not. A group of high school kids go from scenes in history to other scenes discussing what they are seeing. The kids are not polite to each other. One is quite whiny due to no air conditioner then is too cold. One wears a R-shirt 'I Rule You drool' yet another says 'you know she wets the bed, right?' I am not sure how…
