Our Blog Team has been busy lately reviewing several of the products included in our curriculum kits. Here are some of their recent reviews.

True Stories of War

Michele says, "The most engaging part of this series is the fact that they are graphic novels.  Honestly, that is not particularly my favorite genre, but my 7th grader loves it so it is a great fit for him.  Only a few pages long each, a simple scene is portrayed and you get a first hand account of a moment in history.

 These are NOT events you might read about in most History books.  Instead they are very personal, behind the scenes accounts.  They make you feel as if you are there, seeing it all first hand." Read more...

First Sticker Book -- Jobs

Karie says, "I do love to keep things simple for those early years. I love reading, doing crafts, singing songs and playing games with my little learner. It can be somewhat of a challenge, however, to fit in all the things you want to do with the littles when you’ve also got older students you are teaching.

StikBot Studio

Kathryn says, "StikBots are super fun and a relatively inexpensive way for kids to learn about and make animation!  We really enjoy them.  And my kids also just like to play with them as well, similar to action figures.  These would make fantastic stocking stuffers as we head into the Holiday season."

Zoology II MP3 Audiobook

Gina says, "Having access to the entire textbook on MP3 means my daughter can just tap the play button and dive into the accompanying notebooking journal, without having to wait for me. The freedom to learn independently has always been valuable and encouraged in our homeschool, but in the last month, it’s become even more crucial."
