No-Nonsense Algebra- A Review
Disclaimer: I received a FREE copy of this product through the HOMESCHOOL REVIEW CREW in exchange for my honest review. I was not required to write a positive review nor was I compensated in any other way. Y’all. I barely made it out of Algebra. I never understood it. I asked for help, but I went to a rigorous college prep high school and I learned quickly that I had to just keep moving. I have never been one to speak up when I need help. I often just learn to cope with something until it is over… not a skill I want to pass on to my children. Algebra…

Beyond the Stick Figure- A Review
Disclaimer: I received a FREE copy of this product through the HOMESCHOOL REVIEW CREW in exchange for my honest review. I was not required to write a positive review nor was I compensated in any other way. It is rare that my children leave the house without some form of art material in hand. My oldest will likely have a career in art. He is quite brilliant (and I’m not just saying that because I am his mother). He spends hours and hours learning and practicing and creating. His sisters have followed in his steps. The most coveted items in our home are drawing notebooks and colored pencils. When the opportunity…

The Hidden Message of the Great Seal- A Review
Disclaimer: I received a FREE copy of this product through the HOMESCHOOL REVIEW CREW in exchange for my honest review. I was not required to write a positive review nor was I compensated in any other way. I really enjoy history and interesting, obscure facts. I love seeing how things tie together. The Hidden Message of the Great Seal by Michael Kanis is an amazing tool that digs deep into one single item dating back to our nation’s founding. The paper back book is 256 pages with 24 chapters. The Seal was “written” by Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin and John Adams in 1776, the same three who wrote teh Declaration…

Psalms for My Day- A Review
Disclaimer: I received a FREE copy of this product through the HOMESCHOOL REVIEW CREW in exchange for my honest review. I was not required to write a positive review nor was I compensated in any other way. The Psalms are my go to in Bible reading. When I am lost on what to read, I go there. I start with whatever day of the month it is (like today is the 24) and read that Psalm, then add 30 (54) and read the next one, add 30 (84), add 30 (114), add 30 (144). Then you read the Proverb of the day (again… today would be the 24th). I was…

Math U See AIM Program- A Review
Disclaimer: I received a FREE copy of this product through the HOMESCHOOL REVIEW CREW in exchange for my honest review. I was not required to write a positive review nor was I compensated in any other way. We have been long time fans of Math U See. The very first homeschool conference I went to when my oldest was six was in Atlanta and Steve Demme (the founder of Math U See) was speaking. I took said six year old with me to hear him speak. For some reason, I thought sitting on the front row was a good idea. You need to know the ADHD runs deep in our family…

The Easter Storybook- A Review
Disclaimer: I received a FREE copy of this product through the HOMESCHOOL REVIEW CREW in exchange for my honest review. I was not required to write a positive review nor was I compensated in any other way. Every year at Christmas, we make a big deal of celebrating for the whole month. We build the anticipation through celebrating the season of Advent. It is a special time and we have a beautiful book that we use every year to prepare us for the birth of Christ. Every year, I think… why don’t we do this more often? What stops us from gathering and reading in anticipation all the time? I…

Homeschool In The Woods Composers Activity Pak- A Review
Disclaimer: I received a FREE copy of this product through the HOMESCHOOL REVIEW CREW in exchange for my honest review. I was not required to write a positive review nor was I compensated in any other way. I have long loved using lapbooks in our homeschooling. Lapbooking is a great hands-on way for students to research and learn all about a specific topic! It’s basically just a file folder filled with fun little “mini-books” that contain interesting information about your overall lapbook topic. They’re hands-on and make any subject a little more fun! Home School In The Woods offers a variety of products for digital download (perfect while we are…

Math Galaxy- A Review
Disclaimer: I received a FREE copy of this product through the HOMESCHOOL REVIEW CREW in exchange for my honest review. I was not required to write a positive review nor was I compensated in any other way. Oh math… why must you torment me so! Y’all… I barely survived Algebra the first time around. I was one of those students who barely scraped by. They passed me on when they shouldn’t have. I had NO IDEA what I was doing… but I didn’t know how to ask for help. I didn’t know what questions to ask.. so I just kept moving. When I started homeschooling, I didn’t think much past…
