Homeschool Review Crew: Our Review of Practice Monkeys


I received this complimentary product through the Homeschool Review Crew

     I am a mom who believes that we should prepare our children for as much as we can before sending them into the world.  It is sad but true that sometimes our children can find themselves in dangerous situations that they need to be ready to face ahead of time.  The online self defense classes from Practice Monkeys is a great way to help your child learn how to protect themselves and others from harm.  



     These classes are for children ages 5 and up.  Even adults can learn a lot from these self defense courses.  The online classes are just 15 minutes a day from Monday through Thursday, and your student is expected to practice another 15 minutes or so a day after the class is done.  They will not only learn how to defend themselves, they will learn about respect and self discipline.  Dr Van Kleek's way of teaching will have your child excited to learn.  

 
     In these zoom classes Dr Van Kleek will keep your child motivated and will teach them that practice and hard work will help them improve the skills he is teaching and how important it is to be self motivated to improve everyday not just in the classes but in life.  

     These classes are also great to help keep your kids moving and get some physical activity in each day.  In a day where we sit behind computers, phones, and tablets, I think it is important to have some sort of physical activity that will help our children to not be couch potatoes.

Homeschool Revie w Crew: Our Review of The Giving Manger

 

I received this complimentary product through the Homeschool Review Crew


     It is so easy during the holidays to lose sight of the true meaning of Christmas.  We also tend to get caught up in the presents and forget many are doing without while we are stacking presents under our trees.  It is so important to teach our children that it is more blessed to give than to receive.  Worthy Kids has made an amazing book called The Giving Manger that will help families remember the importance of giving during this season and all year round.  


     This year, we have 3 wonderful grandchildren to share in the blessed time.  We love that their parents love Jesus and share it with them every chance they get.  Our granddaughter Rachel is going to be learning about giving as her parents read The Giving Manger to her during the week leading up to Christmas.  She is already understanding that Jesus gave His all so we could live life eternal with Him one day.  




     In this amazing hardcover book and manger set, she will be learning that sharing and giving are a wonderful part of life.  In the days leading up to Christmas her parents will be giving her a piece of straw to place in the manger every time she shares. This is a symbol of giving.  On Christmas morning they will lay the baby Jesus into the manger.  She will then see how important it is to give and will remind us all of the acts of kindness Jesus did His whole life even the act of dying on the cross for our sins so that we might be saved.  He gave the ultimate sacrifice.  


     Would you like to make this Christmas a little more special?  I would encourage you to check out this story and many others from Worthy Kids.
