As they go through the guide, they will be doing in depth studies of the author and characters of the book. You will also get to see your student brush up on skills such as vocab and writing when they do their essays towards the end of the study guide. </div><div><br /></div><div> Hope, our daughter who is doing this study, is in the tenth grade and this particular study was a great fit for her. She said she enjoyed learning more about the author and really diving into deep parts of the book. She said it gave her a new perspective of <i>Frankenstein</i> by Mary Shelley. I haven't heard any complaints as she is working through this guide. It has actually opened up some conversations for her and I to discuss. As she gets older I feel its even more important to have open and honest discussions about things she is learning.</div><div><br /></div><div> As parents I feel we need to be careful about what we allow our children to read and watch. Progeny Press never disappoints me when we use their resources. They are always pointing our children in the right direction. I never have to hover over our kids while they are working through their study guides. It's great to be able to trust a company like this. </div><div><br /></div><div> <span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: center;"> Would you like to learn more about </span><a href="https://stores.progenypress.com/" style="background-color: white; text-align: center;" target="_blank">Progeny Press</a> <font face="helvetica" size="5">?

He created these classes</span><span style="font-family: helvetica; line-height: 25.68px;"> to assist homeschooling moms and dads in teaching. He loves teaching science and his heart for God shines through in his classes. These classes are Creation based. He wants us all to know that God created us for a purpose. As a mentor and teacher, he encourages students both now and in the past to explore God's amazing handiwork. He is also a homeschooling father, so he knows the needs of parents who also homeschool their children.</span></span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0HMTLJLua10u49A6GyOJe3OBQiJNum4UC7CyVyiFm6fB2xajqPOE6oTyFaBWcsczGPiGyZhnkb_tUXp-OHank0Y1K3kiEq_k0BbR2wv-FBIWWRvNkrEoLO9y9TwO90plmQHABlSHFQp0/s819/s1.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-size: large;"><img border="0" data-original-height="819" data-original-width="675" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0HMTLJLua10u49A6GyOJe3OBQiJNum4UC7CyVyiFm6fB2xajqPOE6oTyFaBWcsczGPiGyZhnkb_tUXp-OHank0Y1K3kiEq_k0BbR2wv-FBIWWRvNkrEoLO9y9TwO90plmQHABlSHFQp0/s320/s1.png" width="264" /></span></a></div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></span><p></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"> </span><a href="Self-paced 7th-12th grade half-semester classes https://www.collegeprepscience.com/self-paced-online-science-classes" style="font-family: helvetica;" target="_blank">Earth & Space Science</a> <span style="font-family: helvetica;">is a wonderful program that will teach your children in these areas:</span></span></p><p></p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;">Class Intro will be your guide to the class.

It also has parental controls that allow me to choose what books I deem appropriate or not. I think this would be especially nice for parents of little ones. There were quite a few aspects of the site that I would have loved to have years ago when my children were younger like the educational videos, augmented reality, and unit studies. Hope is a bit too old for these things, but from what I looked at, they are awesome. We did take some time to watch a few of the Livestream videos and enjoyed them very much.

The classic stories of the Bible are colored in a turquoise color on the pages so you will be able to see them quickly if you have a lesson on that particular story. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> I absolutely love studying with my kids.

I loved sitting in class and learning all the wonderful new equations each day. My children however didn't all get that zest for it like I had. Somedays have been a real struggle when I said "Let's do math". I was both excited and relieved when we found <a href="http://www.mathessentials.net" target="_blank">Math Essentials</a> a couple of years ago when we reviewed one of their books. I was equally excited to be chosen to receive and review <a href="http://www.mathessentials.net/" target="_blank">Basic Math Skills Rescue Parts 1 and 2</a>. I knew these would be a great fit for our daughter who is 14 and doesn't really care for math at all. She is our reader. She can finish a 500 page book in just a couple of days, but math is her nemesis. 😉</span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: large; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPjivCIGEivLjHRn2xbZQXHFptEqfN5k2KwzLedXZmVNyAjzpxa-4LPMl3ki3fbmV43QLoNMeMrStfAQwHncqRdpu8thoZAKx1Ad5f6M0toJ8kYgIxcWGPOfQvGVaPgDmRF7O3lL-E1g8/s2048/IMG_3542.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-size: large;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPjivCIGEivLjHRn2xbZQXHFptEqfN5k2KwzLedXZmVNyAjzpxa-4LPMl3ki3fbmV43QLoNMeMrStfAQwHncqRdpu8thoZAKx1Ad5f6M0toJ8kYgIxcWGPOfQvGVaPgDmRF7O3lL-E1g8/s320/IMG_3542.jpg" width="240" /></span></a></div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4-8aCBs0kub1T6fXeE-T2RiCfn4pXyO2q_2phQO41mFGaadzAs_lkS8WDW-X3-K8o2kftT6gmxnPgQB37ScJZ9RSUKSxycQYmXATjtcovXJV6RLalWr6VkyaDPqBq3-5qmtCkgR7NWS4/s2048/IMG_3540.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-size: large;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4-8aCBs0kub1T6fXeE-T2RiCfn4pXyO2q_2phQO41mFGaadzAs_lkS8WDW-X3-K8o2kftT6gmxnPgQB37ScJZ9RSUKSxycQYmXATjtcovXJV6RLalWr6VkyaDPqBq3-5qmtCkgR7NWS4/s320/IMG_3540.jpg" width="240" /></span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"> In these two books, you will be taught 6 different skills that will ensure readiness for your student to go on to more difficult math classes.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"> In Part 1, your student will learn </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="font-size: large;">Whole Numbers & Integers</span></li><li><span style="font-size: large;">Fractions</span></li><li><span style="font-size: large;">Decimals & Percents</span></li></ul><div><span style="font-size: large;"> In Part 2, the skills include</span></div><div><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="font-size: large;">Geometry</span></li><li><span style="font-size: large;">Problem Solving</span></li><li><span style="font-size: large;">Pre- Algebra</span></li></ul><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"> These math books are amazing.

The videos also give you a break from teaching skills that you may have trouble teaching. I love the problem-solving sections. They take real-life scenarios and help teach skills that way. Each skill is shown in a way that is easy to learn so your child won't' get frustrated. The lessons build upon each other. Your child will understand it easily and because they don't have a million questions, you won't be dealing with the whining that can sometimes come with long lessons and too much. repetition. They include many helpful hints as you go along and you will be able to test your student frequently to see how they are progressing. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"> We will continue using both of these books throughout our school year.

I was always concerned that they wouldn't do well in these subjects when they did their yearly achievement testing. I tried using a few different curriculums with my hesitant learners, and eventually, we found something for each one. That is why when I see amazing programs like this for homeschooling families, I get excited. <a href="http://readytoteach.com" target="_blank">It's NOT Greek to Me!</a> from <a href="http://readytoteach.com" target="_blank">Ready to Teach</a> is a Greek vocabulary program that will help strengthen your child's vocabulary skills. When they have better vocabulary skills, they will excel in other subjects as well. I would have loved to have this resource years ago. I am happy to use it with my 14-year-old daughter now. </span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;"><span style="color: #4d4d4d;"><span style="background-color: #fdfdfd;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLvE3h86FUZf_e0wm0P1U6jC3Upr1een_0_rPuEZm84Ghlt43opDxTAxj1BmgnNfjUYUE-TgEN3bTacHLcySzJRrwc13SuIAgTgMhpLVeK4_kZYRMCrPo7ZqybdMmlhQ6QFh_i-3nCH1A/s1825/Ready-to-Teach-words-and-logo.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="996" data-original-width="1825" height="175" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLvE3h86FUZf_e0wm0P1U6jC3Upr1een_0_rPuEZm84Ghlt43opDxTAxj1BmgnNfjUYUE-TgEN3bTacHLcySzJRrwc13SuIAgTgMhpLVeK4_kZYRMCrPo7ZqybdMmlhQ6QFh_i-3nCH1A/s320/Ready-to-Teach-words-and-logo.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> </div></span></span> <a href="http://readytoteach.com" target="_blank">It's NOT Greek to Me!</a> is different because of the way they teach. They use Greek morphemes to teach vocabulary in a new way. Greek morphemes are <span style="background-color: white;">parts of a word originating from the Greek language. The program involves over 200 small word parts that eventually help to construct word meanings. This way is more challenging and a more fun way to learn vocabulary words. When things are learned in this way, your child will have an easier time remembering them long term. Our children are capable of learning and retaining more vocabulary words than they realize. We just need to help them unlock a way to do it. </span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMDC5rqK3yD73zIYSEh1Y1EIEzG2nKKXlV8PjHTIegvYpI_rAJeCEEQk4UGrrH3L3VT-1pQKBxmuavw2TfJm_BJLANMQ7X2jhkefwSOxpRrDZwI_VZNQaQ-TeQh2O4wqbBqGozJeum-gA/s2048/IMG_2864.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMDC5rqK3yD73zIYSEh1Y1EIEzG2nKKXlV8PjHTIegvYpI_rAJeCEEQk4UGrrH3L3VT-1pQKBxmuavw2TfJm_BJLANMQ7X2jhkefwSOxpRrDZwI_VZNQaQ-TeQh2O4wqbBqGozJeum-gA/w300-h400/IMG_2864.jpg" width="300" /></a></div><br /><br /></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;"> This set includes:</span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;">A softback Student Book</span></span></li><li><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;">A softback Instructor's Manual</span></span></li><li><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;">A flash drive</span></span></li><li><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;">A hole punch </span></span></li><li><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white;">A binder ring</span></span></li></ul><div><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;"> The Student Book is a single-use workbook that is about 112 pages long.

I actually thought it would be fun to learn alongside my daughter. We are learning some new words along with the meanings of root words that will enhance our knowledge of vocabulary. Our favorite part of the lessons is the PowerPoints. They are very creative and help reinforce what is being taught in the workbook. The study cards make it simple to go over the words we are learning. I asked Hope what her favorite word was so far and she said eumegalobibliomaniac. You may be wondering why this is her favorite word. It is because she is one. She is a eumegalobibliomaniac. It is someone who enjoys reading long books.

She said, "Hey this is going to be a fun book." I giggled and we read the introduction together. I asked if she thought it was still going to be fun and she said "Yep, I love learning how people think." She is a very logical thinker. I knew she would enjoy learning more on the subject. </div><div><br /></div><div> Together we would read through the lessons. Then she would do the questions on her own and we would discuss them. I think my favorite chapter so far has been chapter 3. It discusses the importance of reading or asking other people's viewpoints on subjects. I do think it is crucial to see things from all sides. We don't want to have tunnel vision. We want to see the entire picture. It also discussed why it's valuable to ask wise people their viewpoints and get their advice when making a decision. </div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-37ReMeAYcDdsZelYRaP1pL_VE5lmNUzKhzMs3anKt1d7H2tmh4e5k25ckRyVqSfrD8ghE7KlC_VqjBpiGCWuiFyethuq6iI2PlV2THasZkhXVW_nPH7hYOS9erhEazK6cea6gbp0xRk/s2048/IMG_2830.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-37ReMeAYcDdsZelYRaP1pL_VE5lmNUzKhzMs3anKt1d7H2tmh4e5k25ckRyVqSfrD8ghE7KlC_VqjBpiGCWuiFyethuq6iI2PlV2THasZkhXVW_nPH7hYOS9erhEazK6cea6gbp0xRk/s320/IMG_2830.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> Hope's favorite chapter so far is chapter 7.

Hope said she learned we should never discount someone's argument solely based on a certain character flaw or another belief they may have.

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"> </span><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: x-large;"><span> After having six kiddos and homeschooling for 24 years, I have found ways to encourage learning in our home. It was by trial and error, but we have a system that works for us now. We still tweak things here and there, but for the most part, these are the ten things we have found that help us most: </span><span> </span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: x-large;">1. Pray before you begin your school day. Everything is better when we give our day to the Lord. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: x-large;">2. Speak words of affirmation over them. Show them that you are happy with their hard work. If they feel that you appreciate their effort, they will continue to try hard. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: x-large;">3. Turn off the television and/or game consoles during school hours. Most children do not learn well with distractions. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: x-large;">4. Read... read....read! We have found that reading aloud or listening to audiobooks is conducive to the atmosphere of learning. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: x-large;">5. Take breaks throughout the day. Sitting too long can cause our children to get antsy. They need to run off steam so they can concentrate better when they are doing their schoolwork. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: x-large;">6. Allow your children time to focus on things they enjoy learning. We all have subjects that interest us and when they can learn what they love, it inspires them to study it.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: x-large;">7. Give incentives. If your child does 30 minutes of math that he is struggling in, reward him with 30 minutes of video/computer time. It helps encourage them when they see that hard work pays off. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: x-large;">8. Visit your local library frequently. Our kids love being surrounded by books as they learn. It also gives them a different venue and that can be inspiring in itself. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: x-large;">9. Play soft classical music. It actually stimulates your brain and relieves stress which is very helpful when studying. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: x-large;">10. Talk with your children weekly. Make sure they are not having any issues. If they are having difficulties with certain subjects or other things outside of school/home, it can affect their learning ability. Stay in tune with your kiddos! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: x-large;"> When my kiddos were little they loved to have little charts to help them remember what they were supposed to do when they woke up and before bed. I had fun making these little printables for you to use in your home to help your children learn how to take care of themselves and stay on track in their morning and evening routines.</span></div>

Once I logged on with my username and password I was taken to a dashboard. You then will see the program that you will be working through. In my case, this was the </span><a href="https://www.homehighschoolhelp.com/homescholar-store/homeschooling-high-school-solution" target="_blank">High School Solution</a> <span>part of the site.

The first thing you need to watch is the Preparing to Homeschool High School Online Conference. Here you will see why you don't need to fear these upper grades and how to do it effectively. Lee Binz will walk you through all you need to know. She is an excellent speaker and will encourage you as she speaks of her family and how she was able to homeschool her children all the way through to graduation. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyTEBhoNtQH-zJ6Yyh-0JDJ4OaoTh0-Lk3lSWfN_d816hvDpxnw8SwPcnGqoe2D6PnKydcQOF7qx3pZc9JTS3gwQKARlrC02i4NxFuHLhgSDoNmfdzPoljifA04Bppb6isK748gcg5n5w/s1130/hsc5.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="717" data-original-width="1130" height="254" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyTEBhoNtQH-zJ6Yyh-0JDJ4OaoTh0-Lk3lSWfN_d816hvDpxnw8SwPcnGqoe2D6PnKydcQOF7qx3pZc9JTS3gwQKARlrC02i4NxFuHLhgSDoNmfdzPoljifA04Bppb6isK748gcg5n5w/w400-h254/hsc5.png" width="400" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;"> There is so much to tell you about this resource. It is broken down into 4 sections for you to work through. The 4 Core Modules are: </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;">How-To: an overview of what it takes to homeschool high school</span></li><li><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;">Ages: information for each grade starting in middle school</span></li><li><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;">Stages: instructions on key stages of high school</span></li><li><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;">Curriculum: how to choose the best curriculum for your child's needs</span></li></ul><div><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;"> </span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;"> So far I have gotten through the first Core Module and let me tell you... if you plan to homeschool your child until they graduate, you need this resource on your list of must-haves for homeschooling. I wish I would have had this about 14 years ago. It would have saved me from many nights of crying and wondering if what I was doing was going to help my children get the best education they could. I remember praying and praying for guidance and the Lord helped me through it all, but with a resource like this, I would have had more confidence and less stress. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;"> Along with the Core Modules, you will also receive Resource Packs. These will serve to help guide you more through information on how to motivate your child, planning guides, teaching the spiritual side of your teen, and much more. We also got bonus packs that I haven't even gotten to really peruse yet. I really can't wait to see what they all have to offer. The e-books alone will keep me busy for a while. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;"> So are you ready to feel less stressed about the high school years?

The good news is that there are more programs out there now to help parents in this area. One of those programs is </span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://dyslexiagold.co.uk/shop/homeschoolers" target="_blank"><span style="color: #ffa400;">Dyslexia Gold</span></a>. They not only help your child learn to read, but they also help those with dyslexia learn powerful new ways to learn to read. There is a dyslexia screener to help you assess your child. </span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: #fdfdfd; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: helvetica; font-size: large; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: #fdfdfd; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: helvetica; font-size: large; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> I was given this program to do an informational review as all my children are too old and excellent readers at this point. I wish I would have had this program when a couple of my kids were younger. It would have made life a bit easier during reading classes. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: #fdfdfd; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: helvetica; font-size: large; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: #fdfdfd; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: helvetica; font-size: large; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> Right from the start, you are given a reading test to see where you are. Then you begin the program. The program I was given had 4 parts. Engaging Eyes, Fluency Builder, Spelling Tutor, and Times Table Tutor. Each is an online program that is designed to help your child learn to focus better. This program stands out because it goes beyond phonics and tries to address and resolve underlying problems that keep pupils from reading fluently. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: #fdfdfd; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: helvetica; font-size: large; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: #fdfdfd; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: helvetica; font-size: large; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> The first one I tried is the vision training one called Engaging Eyes. You will need 3-D glasses for this program and I was sent a pair from the company. However, I had some issues when using the glasses due to migraines, so I didn't get to really test that part of the vision training as much as I would have liked to. I did get to play some of the games like Whack an Alien and Speed Fix. These games are designed to help teach kids how to keep both of their eyes focused on the same object. I can see where this would be very helpful for most children who are learning to read. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: #fdfdfd; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: helvetica; font-size: large; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZGOprzRbIKPXVNLr2NvbrWWweziW4d2d2sffxkVXwlgL3r5Bmg-0GkFGLEN5u8z3N_yfehOdycOcZKm8mg3uMnc40arH5axq9YxNgLYh6Px8yqTdwZuZychebRtIMFrMJRwlkQAKBp34/s1098/16.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;"><img border="0" data-original-height="562" data-original-width="1098" height="205" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZGOprzRbIKPXVNLr2NvbrWWweziW4d2d2sffxkVXwlgL3r5Bmg-0GkFGLEN5u8z3N_yfehOdycOcZKm8mg3uMnc40arH5axq9YxNgLYh6Px8yqTdwZuZychebRtIMFrMJRwlkQAKBp34/w400-h205/16.png" width="400" /></span></a></div><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;"><br /></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;"><br /><span style="background-color: #fdfdfd; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjU2AlO8CPfWf_z_5o6zdZvqtHNZ7b6cplJ-rZS7FPApH6XbHVsWl8VcIvfB4P0gslVt50hJr3mBupRWtxBaxjSkSywYUeaSY4aWT7Q3Xwa5ctbEQNUYMRJDJ25uraB5pRylFR4I8P9a8w/s1031/17.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;"><img border="0" data-original-height="472" data-original-width="1031" height="183" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjU2AlO8CPfWf_z_5o6zdZvqtHNZ7b6cplJ-rZS7FPApH6XbHVsWl8VcIvfB4P0gslVt50hJr3mBupRWtxBaxjSkSywYUeaSY4aWT7Q3Xwa5ctbEQNUYMRJDJ25uraB5pRylFR4I8P9a8w/w400-h183/17.png" width="400" /></span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;"> </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;"> The second program is called Fluency Builder. I played this game a lot to get a feel for how it was working. I thought it was well put together and even had my daughter play around with it for a few minutes. She said it would have been a great tool for when she was trying to learn to read. This section teaches with </span><span style="background-color: white; letter-spacing: 1px;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;">Phonological Awareness. Your child will learn to hear different individual sounds that make up words such as C-A-T. There are little games you play throughout this program that make it fun. It will keep your child engaged and focused. The little stories were educational and fun to read. The only thing that bothered me was the changing volume of the different voices that were used to say the words. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdPF_jDdSqA88_jeTxpyKRlleqan0wvnylI5Dssxx1sjI0JKAkEPmvBJlCh33SnMF9Np5aoKt1WjtLV5Ar0eJ_bIAYpvsivkTqqzYtmdOOxYUX_KvYQYs_Jn8et5NL-Fx4H1G0cgVWg-k/s1214/12.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="623" data-original-width="1214" height="328" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdPF_jDdSqA88_jeTxpyKRlleqan0wvnylI5Dssxx1sjI0JKAkEPmvBJlCh33SnMF9Np5aoKt1WjtLV5Ar0eJ_bIAYpvsivkTqqzYtmdOOxYUX_KvYQYs_Jn8et5NL-Fx4H1G0cgVWg-k/w640-h328/12.png" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgI3CA6O-d9-cWl26zxAUxPr7YTcBWOQQ43o9BVXEfxXgA2dCj58RQWOu32oWYJW71zHmx8XPbGCUhObohndrc-XUcirtbKULB-RzlrxlYPYjdR00ERTMG7kfaWzWVfhvKvYm3_WWLHQdg/s1053/13.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="724" data-original-width="1053" height="440" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgI3CA6O-d9-cWl26zxAUxPr7YTcBWOQQ43o9BVXEfxXgA2dCj58RQWOu32oWYJW71zHmx8XPbGCUhObohndrc-XUcirtbKULB-RzlrxlYPYjdR00ERTMG7kfaWzWVfhvKvYm3_WWLHQdg/w640-h440/13.png" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdfVI7ihjxcRBpbb4UvZlNbWKwDXOQ97DLR-UifjMWBT0WiUHFr8YZmEzSm11z7LOcGuKidxHcOxO4uzvI2FojAsDcNWjB73ipcs4UMtoHZpkOzMJ_RbY0UkXziwFQUEvrINrZJWa2tEU/s1014/11..png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="654" data-original-width="1014" height="412" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdfVI7ihjxcRBpbb4UvZlNbWKwDXOQ97DLR-UifjMWBT0WiUHFr8YZmEzSm11z7LOcGuKidxHcOxO4uzvI2FojAsDcNWjB73ipcs4UMtoHZpkOzMJ_RbY0UkXziwFQUEvrINrZJWa2tEU/w640-h412/11..png" width="640" /></a></div><br /></span></span></div><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;"> Spelling tutor is a great tool! It teaches with repetition and uses over 1000 words. You will need a pencil and paper for this section or a dry erase board. You will be reading through some stories one page at a time. You will be paying attention to grammar and spelling. After you read through them, you will go through it again only this time someone will be reading to you and you will write out what is being said. After each little section of the story is read, you will assess what you wrote and see how well you did. I think this is a great way to teach some spelling skills along with some punctuation and capitalization rules. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiaigjMPiGnwwfbskxN5bj83FQiJNLVKzHgBaGPsmGyn7kqRnpGwpQLaWYifwVuuah33H_X_cBK_UKcHBAfTDBdI6u7Jq2mqHXaJitl4XT-8ix4YNpkf6ZUDqmqzOeRU7PGHIvI04lcbQ/s924/18.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;"><img border="0" data-original-height="596" data-original-width="924" height="413" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiaigjMPiGnwwfbskxN5bj83FQiJNLVKzHgBaGPsmGyn7kqRnpGwpQLaWYifwVuuah33H_X_cBK_UKcHBAfTDBdI6u7Jq2mqHXaJitl4XT-8ix4YNpkf6ZUDqmqzOeRU7PGHIvI04lcbQ/w640-h413/18.png" width="640" /></span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;"><br /></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhv5HRmfc2kriUwS5sb_NPt-GffknwjpqnqQuJoR2j-I96cL-BxONhnRThdUx03o6UXujGkudGy5n2AI24e6ClwgovfEwelq70zWPXPvJI2nfXg8dIT6S-rcGxPrIeZEckEkxrd6jKLygE/s864/19.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;"><img border="0" data-original-height="578" data-original-width="864" height="428" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhv5HRmfc2kriUwS5sb_NPt-GffknwjpqnqQuJoR2j-I96cL-BxONhnRThdUx03o6UXujGkudGy5n2AI24e6ClwgovfEwelq70zWPXPvJI2nfXg8dIT6S-rcGxPrIeZEckEkxrd6jKLygE/w640-h428/19.png" width="640" /></span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;"><br /></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7Zf47kuQWFSoaLWpt_qb6_LrKqJwAKmu2l8SylpQwk2x32yBydK6l0Pf2G2kz9m0jHIO5asJSVMP3vE19AD7WBzeAact9731zDhi3hxY48O1O5lVAMfpuEaxDrIkxc01U4H1QJt5GQzc/s900/20.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;"><img border="0" data-original-height="591" data-original-width="900" height="420" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7Zf47kuQWFSoaLWpt_qb6_LrKqJwAKmu2l8SylpQwk2x32yBydK6l0Pf2G2kz9m0jHIO5asJSVMP3vE19AD7WBzeAact9731zDhi3hxY48O1O5lVAMfpuEaxDrIkxc01U4H1QJt5GQzc/w640-h420/20.png" width="640" /></span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;"><br /></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHvfCIhI8mCNJ3N8KWgreT3qUjjSmyYMD_urVLCSBLGjhZff6wuMQHRVJGD0lomGeacvX3pMAqlHJZIabPh9plEbhkjAmkUP7CoubwmZwHOTz_7cbCTe4OIgaVos8gApIK03lui_vWsq0/s849/21.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;"><img border="0" data-original-height="723" data-original-width="849" height="546" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHvfCIhI8mCNJ3N8KWgreT3qUjjSmyYMD_urVLCSBLGjhZff6wuMQHRVJGD0lomGeacvX3pMAqlHJZIabPh9plEbhkjAmkUP7CoubwmZwHOTz_7cbCTe4OIgaVos8gApIK03lui_vWsq0/w640-h546/21.png" width="640" /></span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;"><br /></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;"><br /></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: #fdfdfd; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: helvetica; font-size: large; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: #fdfdfd; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: helvetica; font-size: large; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> Last but not least I tried the Times Table Tutor. It is pretty self-explanatory. It helps your child to learn their times tables in a fun way. You will go through each number one at a time. There are several ways they teach fluency in learning the times tables. They keep things moving as you play and the faster you are the faster the game goes. So if your child knows one number better than the rest, they will be able to move on quickly to the numbers they don't know well. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: #fdfdfd; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: helvetica; font-size: large; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeXY53K9pyCvAaI57JPYuVquD2BugZlSAHn6M_lNKPmpa4MAiapU6jZ5WLM3H12Z8g41Q0dOpIjyTJNt47EIc6ZJOSYF2mipemQKoqqKsCas3L5bPgKdJM1yBPQ4brre7AlMxTYmBP-dc/s1114/22.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;"><img border="0" data-original-height="724" data-original-width="1114" height="416" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeXY53K9pyCvAaI57JPYuVquD2BugZlSAHn6M_lNKPmpa4MAiapU6jZ5WLM3H12Z8g41Q0dOpIjyTJNt47EIc6ZJOSYF2mipemQKoqqKsCas3L5bPgKdJM1yBPQ4brre7AlMxTYmBP-dc/w640-h416/22.png" width="640" /></span></a></div><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;"><br /></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWJHOF1qwCJuxDXuMwcE1pRTTvNBovSrjifCjfIDUBlT2F2rRouKvj2DHt-d4yjFMj8XkN28P7cJjUsBbqJkcKFY5gDxFvkmYxeQhXjtuhmC-qXhU3UjMUYwRK1TD_GtNQN6zc-j13rkA/s1145/23.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;"><img border="0" data-original-height="602" data-original-width="1145" height="336" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWJHOF1qwCJuxDXuMwcE1pRTTvNBovSrjifCjfIDUBlT2F2rRouKvj2DHt-d4yjFMj8XkN28P7cJjUsBbqJkcKFY5gDxFvkmYxeQhXjtuhmC-qXhU3UjMUYwRK1TD_GtNQN6zc-j13rkA/w640-h336/23.png" width="640" /></span></a></div><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;"><br /></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTN6KUKVHQLJcdRxar8CVK0SjqjlQK3lKk3XP0C6AUw-sLmfeI2hcrJppM4k8opRvne5aTHLQzoXZpLh4Bv3C77gUtvINwI_a96epF5dw9-uf3d50pVyErkh510MxbwlIYHUuK060yTzs/s1440/24.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;"><img border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="1440" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTN6KUKVHQLJcdRxar8CVK0SjqjlQK3lKk3XP0C6AUw-sLmfeI2hcrJppM4k8opRvne5aTHLQzoXZpLh4Bv3C77gUtvINwI_a96epF5dw9-uf3d50pVyErkh510MxbwlIYHUuK060yTzs/w640-h400/24.png" width="640" /></span></a></div><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;"><br /><span style="background-color: #fdfdfd; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br /></span></span></div><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;"> The program keeps records of your students progress and times they log on.

She will give you tools to lead your children as well as encouragement when you feel you are lacking.

Having a family Bible study will be your goal and she will give you ways to prepare your children for this life. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;"> The softback book is about 199 pages long and is broken down into 3 parts:</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;">Part One - You're the Leader</span></li><li><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;">Part Two - Faithful Reading</span></li><li><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;">Part Three - A Daily Walk</span></li></ul><div><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;"> Each section will help you in your journey to becoming a family that loves and serves God.

You will be able to talk about who wrote the Bible and why. The discussion will be your best way to impart facts and knowledge about the scriptures. Let your kids be inquisitive and be willing to answer questions that they have. My personal favorite part of this section is when she talks about not making the Bible allegorical.

I have been more than satisfied with their products and ease of use.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;"> </span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEip1JMg70CFljGAeyCmH_c733layY4MSxN-SBo_ECgZHNqxvHGkQh9nGh8IM8qmp1TyuOBPAlqNSRe3ngMjDS9F9biM6kIK7LrPK3Vka4JdiTRxIRahXwn97OJsHKuTbjdY-yj2ueklfbQ/s1643/B9557699-D07C-460F-AC7D-627B21DDE091.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1643" data-original-width="1473" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEip1JMg70CFljGAeyCmH_c733layY4MSxN-SBo_ECgZHNqxvHGkQh9nGh8IM8qmp1TyuOBPAlqNSRe3ngMjDS9F9biM6kIK7LrPK3Vka4JdiTRxIRahXwn97OJsHKuTbjdY-yj2ueklfbQ/s320/B9557699-D07C-460F-AC7D-627B21DDE091.jpg" width="287" /></a></span></div><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;"><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikr1OUPK9qEYlYiMBmOPwQLO1YkPDlloSY4Fb6vax1d6b2Ln4zC1JVQwLVoZ3rkcodLaZBeB1hL__b70KUWrKV28TdCSplo1kFU3lPJNhq3fxNxfDBHpVM5XpZnIEC8CZreU3oCmMtbwI/s2048/1984250C-B1F8-4A48-B00B-0271734B18B3.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1801" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikr1OUPK9qEYlYiMBmOPwQLO1YkPDlloSY4Fb6vax1d6b2Ln4zC1JVQwLVoZ3rkcodLaZBeB1hL__b70KUWrKV28TdCSplo1kFU3lPJNhq3fxNxfDBHpVM5XpZnIEC8CZreU3oCmMtbwI/s320/1984250C-B1F8-4A48-B00B-0271734B18B3.jpg" width="281" /></a></div><br /></span><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: helvetica;"><span style="color: #222222; font-size: large; text-align: center;">The Starter Kit includes:</span></span></div><span style="color: #222222; text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;"><ul style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 0px;"></ul><span style="color: #222222;"><div style="text-align: left;">1 Stainless Steel Lid </div></span><ul style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 0px;"></ul><span style="color: #222222;"><div style="text-align: left;">1 Glass Fermentation Weight</div></span><ul style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 0px;"></ul><span style="color: #222222;"><div style="text-align: left;">1 Air Lock.</div></span><ul style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 0px;"></ul><span style="color: #222222;"><div style="text-align: left;">1 Rubber Stopper</div></span><ul style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 0px;"></ul><span style="color: #222222;"><div style="text-align: left;">1 Rubber Canning Gasket</div></span><ul style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 0px;"></ul><span style="color: #222222;"><div style="text-align: left;">Himalayan Powdered Salt</div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="text-align: center;">Instruction Guide and Basic Sauerkraut recipe</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="text-align: center;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="text-align: center;"> Last time we made sauerkraut and it was delicious so this time around we wanted to try fermenting carrots. I followed the recipe on the site and we are just days away from trying them as it takes 4 weeks to ferment for the best taste. I know my husband is going to love them. Carrots are one of the few veggies he enjoys eating. </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="text-align: center;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="text-align: center;"> It was simple to do. First, we made our brine. We mixed 2 tbsp of the salt provided in the kit with a quart of water. We then washed our carrots and garlic. I only used half the garlic require in the recipe because it seemed like a lot for our family. After I placed the garlic in the bottom and the carrots on top of them we added our brine. We then put the glass fermentation weight on top of the carrots and assembled our top. You place the rubber gasket on first, then the stainless steel lid. You then add the original lid from your mason jar and screw it on tightly. We added the rubber stopper and airlock system. It is easy and doesn't take much time at all. You will find all the directions you need on the insert that arrives with your kit. </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="text-align: center;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFiAHjJQKkMldFwoonf1Hbb20C0N66ewPuUgiKZrhLI8sKYu8qHtjdjp73kIM3-3U9-UG5eimQVHwVIhut5SUa6JW5wSmCmTlu62byAAWO0DqIC9FALCeZEwF0PMZ-v1ABAh-BmwiP3Lo/s2048/IMG_2575.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFiAHjJQKkMldFwoonf1Hbb20C0N66ewPuUgiKZrhLI8sKYu8qHtjdjp73kIM3-3U9-UG5eimQVHwVIhut5SUa6JW5wSmCmTlu62byAAWO0DqIC9FALCeZEwF0PMZ-v1ABAh-BmwiP3Lo/s320/IMG_2575.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><br /><span style="text-align: center;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="text-align: center;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="text-align: center;"> We placed our carrots in a dry sunless part of our pantry and are waiting patiently to eat them :) </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="text-align: center;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="text-align: center;"> The health benefits of these fermented veggies are incredible.

He loves teaching science and his heart for God shines through in his classes. These classes are Creation based. He wants us all to know that God created us for a purpose. As a mentor and teacher, he encourages students both now and in the past to explore God's amazing handiwork. He is also a homeschooling father, so he knows the needs of parents who also homeschool their children. That is a huge plus!!! </span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 107%;"> The class we are reviewing today is </span><a href="https://www.collegeprepscience.com/self-paced-online-science-classes" target="_blank">Exercise & Sports Physiology</a> This self-paced class is great for students.

Our family loves to be creative and we enjoy it when we can get out our art supplies and just have some fun. My daughter and I use the supplies more than anyone else in our house, but you will see my husband getting out his sketchpad and pencils once in a while. He is gifted in drawing but is a busy guy and doesn't get to use his skills as much as he would like. I actually showed him this program and he said he wants to try his hand at a few projects next time he gets some time off. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheN8CxuNd6lTmffS-4fXAujLsX0zi3AuheyE3WStEcb0R0Yl2Awa2SmJrHuU3MRtJY2TpLkTsbxN2i3lxC851TekfrBmQV19jEbMQ130iy3EuG3cFmfDMtlFNdb_THEL2l6iZLn5zsyKw/s897/Black-Background-Logo.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="886" data-original-width="897" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheN8CxuNd6lTmffS-4fXAujLsX0zi3AuheyE3WStEcb0R0Yl2Awa2SmJrHuU3MRtJY2TpLkTsbxN2i3lxC851TekfrBmQV19jEbMQ130iy3EuG3cFmfDMtlFNdb_THEL2l6iZLn5zsyKw/s320/Black-Background-Logo.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> Since we are doing this review during our summer break, we decided to just pick a few projects and have some fun trying to learn new techniques and such. However, this program is best used to complement an Art History Curriculum. They want to teach how to create art similar to different time periods like The Realism Period or Gothic Period. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> Once you purchase your program, you will log in, and all your projects will be right there for you to choose from.

Most supplies are not expensive, but you really do get what you pay for when it comes to art supplies. Sometimes cheaper ones are not easy to use or won't blend well like you need. I enjoyed watching the videos and her instruction was simple. She is encouraging and that makes all the difference when taking classes such as these. </div></div><div><br /></div><div> The classes can be used for younger children but range clear up to adult level.

You only had to purchase a few colors for the projects, but we decided to buy a kit of soft pastels since we love art so much. Here is a couple of her creations. She is a private person but allows me to share some of her creations here so you can see what the program can teach you. </div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnHY6z4ZLyFQEfk3lPpQL35W3Qc3DP-UYkVA4VruPNVnJdGsztCjyeDIQ2B2BFzzWkEZ20J2qXHpGMnq1Hcj7_HXvvhT0TrMTYej1kp84Th_FAQyygojeTZmX3iZ6pL2CUutivQ1-Likw/s2048/IMG_2278.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnHY6z4ZLyFQEfk3lPpQL35W3Qc3DP-UYkVA4VruPNVnJdGsztCjyeDIQ2B2BFzzWkEZ20J2qXHpGMnq1Hcj7_HXvvhT0TrMTYej1kp84Th_FAQyygojeTZmX3iZ6pL2CUutivQ1-Likw/s320/IMG_2278.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhezznQ3ZngpmX720fsFzeh-Vrt5cz7THyX-J3Czi82PxC6JxNkaUQoeXwMUelQoMFJtChFEaBxU-GNgvrRWdNMjnuYcncJ_GFkpR-2amRGmeBr34dD6ZNYf0PNA7kb79wy0PKUfMxXjZ0/s2048/IMG_2279.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhezznQ3ZngpmX720fsFzeh-Vrt5cz7THyX-J3Czi82PxC6JxNkaUQoeXwMUelQoMFJtChFEaBxU-GNgvrRWdNMjnuYcncJ_GFkpR-2amRGmeBr34dD6ZNYf0PNA7kb79wy0PKUfMxXjZ0/s320/IMG_2279.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimsVNyYtahdy1eR4_hpbf8urJ3lO6TK6wwI64_8gU9hFDcsh1rckIHU8LBSJZ6OFvgBx5wMygmgp4FN3U8WhXpUvZEICFoPGDihgeLHba8GJXAmR_EeDB0n1fkAhfx0AHVDVj8gRUMUMs/s2048/IMG_2280.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimsVNyYtahdy1eR4_hpbf8urJ3lO6TK6wwI64_8gU9hFDcsh1rckIHU8LBSJZ6OFvgBx5wMygmgp4FN3U8WhXpUvZEICFoPGDihgeLHba8GJXAmR_EeDB0n1fkAhfx0AHVDVj8gRUMUMs/s320/IMG_2280.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhh3r6f6DWjUJUMTKLC9-whX2b9FHp0OKgqBHinJwOa6GR7KFOGAzZG1DMtEsJqPPZfjBqhom8j2T0D_71KgoCmpcfVdQJXRm_AWQyb1BLI2fTs-ODxj6PTv5mu2J9WGd9NGihPvkBY5Es/s2048/IMG_2282.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhh3r6f6DWjUJUMTKLC9-whX2b9FHp0OKgqBHinJwOa6GR7KFOGAzZG1DMtEsJqPPZfjBqhom8j2T0D_71KgoCmpcfVdQJXRm_AWQyb1BLI2fTs-ODxj6PTv5mu2J9WGd9NGihPvkBY5Es/s320/IMG_2282.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> Most of the time you will find her creating her masterpieces on our couch with her sketchpad and iPad for watching videos and such.

I want to use this as her American History curriculum so I want her to take it slow and really learn about these timeline figures. She is very creative so I am allowing her to make up her notebook timeline the way she wants to then we are doing notes and/or essays on the side in her history notebook. </span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfit_rwYhjVhG0icnp0LwRpqo-5Hv6UWvthWabyzf7xc-8iRBSIZwspVylNetd72l9XtmvqfLTC_EXztyIHGtv42KbT8CBlg9q9p0yTRERvRG2z9MxKFmlYAwH5ja-2DEXKHn3-sRO7m4/s2048/IMG_2162.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfit_rwYhjVhG0icnp0LwRpqo-5Hv6UWvthWabyzf7xc-8iRBSIZwspVylNetd72l9XtmvqfLTC_EXztyIHGtv42KbT8CBlg9q9p0yTRERvRG2z9MxKFmlYAwH5ja-2DEXKHn3-sRO7m4/s320/IMG_2162.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbnqtF5ixncnn75OyCFyvE2_n0kFmg6tFFAwOiOfl6yD_j-48Sp1A4Gh_cdR9JeJRoERUEpXR1OUzqt-yjip9DeqDk8o-eOHcZ2qL2-Lg9uBPjoJmGJEouVl2E3exgxaA_Y88gs4r9uUc/s2048/IMG_2163.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbnqtF5ixncnn75OyCFyvE2_n0kFmg6tFFAwOiOfl6yD_j-48Sp1A4Gh_cdR9JeJRoERUEpXR1OUzqt-yjip9DeqDk8o-eOHcZ2qL2-Lg9uBPjoJmGJEouVl2E3exgxaA_Y88gs4r9uUc/s320/IMG_2163.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMbo7tJ38KZ2f0_9CzCvPa7TGt6czqp8wTc9Ad30f2fRM_e2GuCjzOJNVZoOjO914iGp6zVnMzc9nI6pXj27cAd6OAZOTGG30dczSCma829hmuNdFjRVvK6QTZCZe7N60Abn4rvEixngw/s2048/IMG_2164.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMbo7tJ38KZ2f0_9CzCvPa7TGt6czqp8wTc9Ad30f2fRM_e2GuCjzOJNVZoOjO914iGp6zVnMzc9nI6pXj27cAd6OAZOTGG30dczSCma829hmuNdFjRVvK6QTZCZe7N60Abn4rvEixngw/s320/IMG_2164.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;"> This set includes 4 different ways to use it.

She has made her own timeline on cardstock and is using washi tape for the actual line. She also made her own cover page, but you can use the one that comes with the set. For younger students, I would recommend using the Wall Size. They will love cutting out the individual timeline figures and pasting them on their own timeline or sheet of paper to be hung on the wall. You can hang them in time order and they will love seeing their work displayed on a daily basis. You will be able to review easier with them if they are right there as well. </span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white;"> We have been using resources from </span></span><a href="http://homeschoolinthewoods.com/" style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: x-large;" target="_blank">Home School in the Woods</a> <span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;">for years now.

The dread that she usually has about anything math was gone. She actually enjoyed answering the questions and beating the computer to earn achievements and meet her personal goals. I liked that the game learns how your student is doing and asks if the questions are too easy or too hard. It wants to meet them where they are and make learning fun for them. When questions are too hard or too simple, students get frustrated or bored. It's important to teach at their level of learning and this game does just that. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;"> There are more than 10,000 math questions that your student will be going through if they start at the beginning. It is endless fun!!! When I sat down with her to see how the game worked, I wanted to see the "questions only" section. In this section of the game, you can pick what skill you want to focus on and I really liked that. We went through a few skills such as Algebra and Geometry so I could see how much she knew, and I was happy to see she was doing well in these subjects. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_gOEnYc_lBso0-elE_2zEbyMfRIiQMPE5RpZ96_27WA4XGI5fqcwVQu1FkACCXVEq-jBCw1MjhswQ-8tL0g3t-bCiGLkldrbuKraQEyP1PDAI81nmfW3r10OS2bT-6Mb9F6ZplAD_cac/s894/btd6.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;"><img border="0" data-original-height="665" data-original-width="894" height="297" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_gOEnYc_lBso0-elE_2zEbyMfRIiQMPE5RpZ96_27WA4XGI5fqcwVQu1FkACCXVEq-jBCw1MjhswQ-8tL0g3t-bCiGLkldrbuKraQEyP1PDAI81nmfW3r10OS2bT-6Mb9F6ZplAD_cac/w400-h297/btd6.png" width="400" /></span></a></div><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;"><br /></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtOiou9eEfGlJzrCmz_c4hz5itHTFz0WgzExmT4Y9JikSHIFgHLL34bskh_dtcs-8yDrnonBushzxRpzI9zHdiCDnwEWo5MjPy2mUSSYIemDPdB33yREki4w2lW7MQPGGI0Im4bTe8e18/s963/btd7.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;"><img border="0" data-original-height="664" data-original-width="963" height="276" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtOiou9eEfGlJzrCmz_c4hz5itHTFz0WgzExmT4Y9JikSHIFgHLL34bskh_dtcs-8yDrnonBushzxRpzI9zHdiCDnwEWo5MjPy2mUSSYIemDPdB33yREki4w2lW7MQPGGI0Im4bTe8e18/w400-h276/btd7.png" width="400" /></span></a></div><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;"><br /><span><br /></span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;"><span> Do you have a student that dreads math?

After retiring from engineering, he and his wife Nancy, have been teaching subjects such as robotics and physics. They have also helped students prepare for their SAT tests. In addition to these, they teach courses on creation versus evolution. Some of those courses, available on SchoolhouseTeachers.com, are also mentioned in this book. His heart for teaching students about their Creator is evident in this book and in all he does. I am always excited to see others professing their belief and not afraid to speak about their love for God. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;"> This is a soft-back book that is about 150 pages.

God wants us to search for Him as much as He pursues us. He shows his great love for us all throughout history. In this book, you will read about Conner and his brother Alan who are at odds with their beliefs. Conner is a teacher and Christian who believes in the Bible with all his heart. His brother Alan is an atheist and isn't interested in what Conner believes. As you read through the story, you will see how God can work in the life of someone who doesn't believe and how He uses actual artifacts and history to do it. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;"> My daughter and I are the ones who read through this book and we found it to be interesting, but sometimes it was a little hard to follow.

We also went over the digital study guide to reinforce some things she was reading about. The digital study guide has so many amazing applications. It can be used for supplemental curriculum in areas such as: </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>Creative Writing</li><li>Drama</li><li>Movie Critiquing </li><li>Reading Comprehension</li><li>Essay Writing </li><li>History and Geography Concepts</li></ul><div> I asked Hope what she learned from the book and she said with tears in her eyes, "Mom, I can't believe what this man endured yet he still managed to live a wonderful life." George Washington Carver was a man that was kidnapped as a baby and taken into slavery. Instead of allowing his past to hurt him, he chose to rise from it and learn everything he could. He lost so much yet gained far more. His perseverance brought him out of bondage and into a life of wonder and amazement. He became a wonderful and creative Scientist whose experiments saved the southern economy from poverty. </div><div><br /></div><div> Even though this man suffered he picked himself up and didn't quit. He never allowed people to tell him he couldn't do something. He purposed to do good with his knowledge and he did it! He was acknowledged by many for the creative ways he came up with to save farms and use resources. I encourage you to get this book and read it for yourself. You will be inspired by his story. </div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> Would you like to know more about </span><a href="https://www.ywampublishing.com/" style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: x-large;" target="_blank">YWAM Publishing</a>? <span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;"> Go check out their website and their social media pages listed below. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;"><a href="http://www.facebook.com/YWAM-Publishing-482973445102/" target="_blank">FACEBOOK</a>, <a href=" http://twitter.com/YWAMpublishing" target="_blank">TWITTER</a>, <a href="http://www.instagram.com/ywampublishing/" target="_blank">INSTAGRAM</a>, or <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/ywampublishing/" target="_blank">PINTEREST</a></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;"> We also have more reviews of this book and many others over on the Homeschool Review Crew site.

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> "Mom, I lost my workbook."</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> "Honey, where are my keys?"</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">"Friend, will you babysit my kids all weekend?"</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">"Mrs. Daley, can you cook 48 cupcakes for the church bake sale?"</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> From running errands, paying bills, answering emails, responding to texts, to cooking for our families and cleaning our homes, our lives can get very hectic at times. Then as homeschooling moms, we get to add teaching, scheduling, and grading into the mix. Day in and day out, we are bombarded with things that can overwhelm us. So what do we do when we feel so overwhelmed that we want to give up? You know that feeling in the pit of your stomach that says "I CAN'T DO THIS FOR ONE MORE DAY". I have been there a few times in our 21 years of homeschooling. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> When I sit down feeling stressed, I think what can I do to make my life a little less nerve racking and the first thing that comes to mind in those wee hours of the morning is I could send the kids to school. It sure would take a lot of pressure off of me and I could have 6 to 7 hours of quiet everyday where I could get things accomplished without distraction. It isn't long before God brings to mind that He has called me to homeschool my children. It is my ministry in this season of life and if anything else is keeping me from doing it with excellence, those are the things I have to give up. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> I have had to give up a lot over the years, and I don't regret one thing. When I felt like our homeschool was suffering due to my outside activities, I had a choice to make. I could keep trying to do it all and get burned out or I could choose to let things go that were causing my anxiety. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> I had to say no at times. I couldn't let anyone take advantage of me just because I was home all day " just doing school". I had to put our family first. I had to be obedient to the Lord and make sure that my kids were getting the best of me and not what was left over. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> So, my advice to you is to sit back and look at your day to day life. Are there things you could give up so that your homeschooling days are not so hectic? Do you set time aside to take care of you, so you can take care of your family? Are you able to say no when something may conflict with your homeschooling schedule? </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> Now don't get me wrong. We still need to be hospitable. We need to love on others. We just need to do it as the Lord calls us to. We need to follow the Holy Spirit's promptings. If God is in it, we won't feel overwhelmed. He will give us peace and strength to do what He has called us to do. It is when we step out and aren't listening to Him that we get into trouble. Make sure you pray about everything before you say "yes". </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> I hope this post encourages you. I will be praying for you everyday! Remember to let God have control and make sure you are taking time to spend with Him each day. He will always be there for you and will never fail you. </span></div>

Some days it is a complete meltdown while others you see that lightbulb moment. You know when they GET IT! They understand completely and are so happy. You are in tears either way.... rather they are tears of joy or tears of exhaustion. Well, I have some good news for you! There is a math program that can make all the days good! It is called <a href="http://www.teachingtextbooks.com/" target="_blank">Teaching Textbooks</a>. Our family has been reviewing <a href="https://www.teachingtextbooks.com/free-trial" target="_blank">Teaching Textbooks Math 4.0</a>. It is their newest version and I have to say....

This is a digital comprehensive Math curriculum. They begin at Math 3 and go all the way up to Pre-Calculus. During this review period, we have been working through Geometry. I have looked over the other math classes and I wish I would have had these for my kids when they were all growing up and learning math skills. They really know how to keep a child's attention. From fun computer backgrounds to a sticker book, they will keep your student happy throughout the lessons. Even older students will find these features fun. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;"> Josh has been enjoying the classes both on his computer and his phone.

Once you begin your course, you can log in on your device with your email and password. We have iPhones and so far the app has run flawlessly. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4CfPGEwk5ufL0FcgujpxvlNQkgGsenO4kSlwHaZANJFInPQrMCH4fG8WkZqLa4fq5o2V3qQYdblcgQHFxobmF2A6wsHOqPUP6p3_cMQYlsJjeryP-fohD5ttGFyKG50Ipv_IZB5GC7Ks/s1792/IMG_0840.PNG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="828" data-original-width="1792" height="185" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4CfPGEwk5ufL0FcgujpxvlNQkgGsenO4kSlwHaZANJFInPQrMCH4fG8WkZqLa4fq5o2V3qQYdblcgQHFxobmF2A6wsHOqPUP6p3_cMQYlsJjeryP-fohD5ttGFyKG50Ipv_IZB5GC7Ks/w400-h185/IMG_0840.PNG" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcD0oGcY3pL0tzj5zkMpV9jhxzED1W4QSA98oNWNlyM6SJvOpd3N1pjIga5YKPkXK4qvqvOsvdsTTXtAcdqxKV0-E277CUrfbyS9AISHsEXu3fP5h93FSaE8C5PEXotTCQ3oUcMoWUD0Y/s1792/IMG_0841.PNG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="828" data-original-width="1792" height="185" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcD0oGcY3pL0tzj5zkMpV9jhxzED1W4QSA98oNWNlyM6SJvOpd3N1pjIga5YKPkXK4qvqvOsvdsTTXtAcdqxKV0-E277CUrfbyS9AISHsEXu3fP5h93FSaE8C5PEXotTCQ3oUcMoWUD0Y/w400-h185/IMG_0841.PNG" width="400" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;"> When you purchase your Teaching Textbook digital course enrollment, you will have an entire year to go through the lessons of one course.

They also have a Large Family Enrollment Discount if you have a big family and wish to use it for all of your kiddos. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;"> So, what makes these Math courses different than others we have used.... I think it is the layout and way they interact with you as they teach. The course is taught lesson by lesson then your student works through the lessons. Most lessons even have hints they can give your child as they work through the problems. Josh is very particular in how he learns, and he loves the way this is done. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhuE4V_ydVoAQTrFZOk1S7v-5Sv4OKUFrgHKQUmIusDHh4UH1_kf7xMhdN7zT9mJYc2CbKIXefy-piZf6Hb9wvC_Yiuzx_lk0ICi7D16BrX4a_ZNYi_iFa3kyikMI8vG_4OHacEdP6lHo/s1367/tt2.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="791" data-original-width="1367" height="370" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhuE4V_ydVoAQTrFZOk1S7v-5Sv4OKUFrgHKQUmIusDHh4UH1_kf7xMhdN7zT9mJYc2CbKIXefy-piZf6Hb9wvC_Yiuzx_lk0ICi7D16BrX4a_ZNYi_iFa3kyikMI8vG_4OHacEdP6lHo/w640-h370/tt2.png" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjM-cStPVeOl1IH3lYGkRNdtCGdYbPRaSyBzn0Pb97rMIXcw4JMe5kGsubHjmReezo6xKgYqZvZHCQttSWzWUfZR14-voBTxsECyOZo-XsROcrKQTymxc9rM2yCPHtygP5XsOpxbNmzmzQ/s1401/tt3.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="812" data-original-width="1401" height="370" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjM-cStPVeOl1IH3lYGkRNdtCGdYbPRaSyBzn0Pb97rMIXcw4JMe5kGsubHjmReezo6xKgYqZvZHCQttSWzWUfZR14-voBTxsECyOZo-XsROcrKQTymxc9rM2yCPHtygP5XsOpxbNmzmzQ/w640-h370/tt3.png" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2mpydrNeabS9FQj1Fhl5BhY_24Ivm6_Om3BTJ9hIPrGxeUqSpm5vhjdGx0XHv5g8s-KnbDpD7Jx-KKaI9d30INnT_n9pGpjKshSuuT02s6PPLhXbhrg-CQUvqh79jcOa-1-u0Xmu_lEI/s1370/tt4.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="802" data-original-width="1370" height="374" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2mpydrNeabS9FQj1Fhl5BhY_24Ivm6_Om3BTJ9hIPrGxeUqSpm5vhjdGx0XHv5g8s-KnbDpD7Jx-KKaI9d30INnT_n9pGpjKshSuuT02s6PPLhXbhrg-CQUvqh79jcOa-1-u0Xmu_lEI/w640-h374/tt4.png" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgs886pHNtgkQeNIS8MGOa1xSua_L2Dx43-H1T7eV2Btd6Tk0XHNkNXxScULfTKtjBB1zhpERiOQOGNk4Wk1eAprncA9gP-HV7_m6vvk3m8D_nrdM2GA1CEpY7qsYSIF4WyYVjQGi5y2u4/s1386/tt5.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="802" data-original-width="1386" height="370" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgs886pHNtgkQeNIS8MGOa1xSua_L2Dx43-H1T7eV2Btd6Tk0XHNkNXxScULfTKtjBB1zhpERiOQOGNk4Wk1eAprncA9gP-HV7_m6vvk3m8D_nrdM2GA1CEpY7qsYSIF4WyYVjQGi5y2u4/w640-h370/tt5.png" width="640" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;"> He won't admit it but, my 16-year old's face still lights up when he gets the answer right and it is celebrated on the screen 😂 I know little kids will especially like getting rewarded when they get the right answer. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;"> There is a 692-page E-book that you use along with the digital lessons.

<span style="font-size: x-large;"> When I was a young mom, I didn't realize all the moments I missed training my little ones. I had no idea what "Character Training" was. I was too busy growing up myself to realize my children needed me to guide them and train them. Now that I am an older woman/mom I look for opportunities throughout our day where I can help teach my children godly character traits. Have you ever thought about how many good character qualities you can instill when baking a cake?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> The first trait you can teach while baking is ATTENTIVENESS. In order for a child to make a cake, he/she must listen to the instructions given to them or they must be able to read and concentrate on the directions. You can not successfully bake a yummy cake without paying careful attention to what is required to make it delicious. Forgetting just one ingredient can spoil it. As you and your children bake together, you can point out the importance of focusing on the task at hand. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> You can also teach PATIENCE as you bake together. Baking takes time and perseverance to get it just right. You can not rush through the process. You can explain the idea that sometimes we have to wait, but at the end of the waiting, there may be a reward for us. Give them examples from the Bible. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> Some other character qualities that can be taught while baking is ORDERLINESS, DILIGENCE, and RESPONSIBILITY. When you are baking it's essential that you add your ingredients in the right order. You must be diligent when measuring and responsible enough to follow the baking temperatures and times. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> It is actually very simple to find little tidbits of time during our daily routines to teach our children godly character qualities. It just takes a bit of initiative and thought. As moms and dads, it is our responsibility to find ways to help our kids practice these critical qualities so they will grow up and be able to exhibit them in their homes and workplace. God has given us these precious children and He expects us to follow His Word as we bring them up. </span><br />

Some were copies of what was taught, others were sparks of creativity brought on by the lessons. </span></div><div><span style="color: #4d4d4d; font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="color: #4d4d4d; font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;"> The video lessons and lessons in the book include:</span></div><div><ol style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="color: #4d4d4d; font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;">Drawing is Moving</span></li><li><span style="color: #4d4d4d; font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;">Drawing a Good Line</span></li><li><span style="color: #4d4d4d; font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;">Identifying Light and Dark</span></li><li><span style="color: #4d4d4d; font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;">Colored Pencils</span></li><li><span style="color: #4d4d4d; font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;">Layered Colors</span></li><li><span style="color: #4d4d4d; font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;">Ruler and Compass</span></li></ol><div><span style="color: #4d4d4d; font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;"> </span></div></div><div><span style="color: #4d4d4d; font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;"> The book also includes wonderful lessons on artists like Arthur Davies, Rembrandt Peale, John James Audubon, Walter Ufer, and more.

She said Brenda has a soothing voice and keeps your attention throughout each lesson. She said the new thing she learned during these lessons was layering colors. She said she has always wanted to know how to do that correctly and Brenda helped her learn how to it well. Here is an example of that. </span></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: start;"><span style="color: #4d4d4d;"><span style="background-color: #fdfdfd;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyPGZvhUK0LqQbHLBVoWBnLYMEFOKBmgf-4hN7LBZfAP_PvtFgToqhQZ1_ZkDxMcRK5fzrblaSUXGil12sj_EYfFhPTpDkNaOWhajFwMhi9Zk-f8BgHCI0LMfbjfaGyNh8GGMNa_nPHL0/s2048/IMG_0474.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyPGZvhUK0LqQbHLBVoWBnLYMEFOKBmgf-4hN7LBZfAP_PvtFgToqhQZ1_ZkDxMcRK5fzrblaSUXGil12sj_EYfFhPTpDkNaOWhajFwMhi9Zk-f8BgHCI0LMfbjfaGyNh8GGMNa_nPHL0/s320/IMG_0474.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWtwt_lpx63l7jkv_RevwPphqFThLikYgnz42FaZe-ELPRLSUWZi6X8uLicsLpC3UqOetS5ynQc2gE3xA5_cStJlpkz8ijXxK51Kcx66vMJd59uUdTQ7Vpf202Yqnw8KdrchHp7dSQdJk/s2048/IMG_0477.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWtwt_lpx63l7jkv_RevwPphqFThLikYgnz42FaZe-ELPRLSUWZi6X8uLicsLpC3UqOetS5ynQc2gE3xA5_cStJlpkz8ijXxK51Kcx66vMJd59uUdTQ7Vpf202Yqnw8KdrchHp7dSQdJk/s320/IMG_0477.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;"> </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;"> Hope is typically a very shy and private young lady, but she is allowing me to share some of her art with you today.
