Curriculum Sale and Linky Up
August is finally here and it is time to start school!
Almost!
Yes, we technically school year round, but we do have an official start date for a new grade for our children. Normally that date falls in August for us. We are just usually ready to get going. This year, not so much. Dad is coming home for a few weeks and so we are choosing to stay in summer mode a little longer this year.
We will resume our 6 weeks on, 1 week off Sabbath Week Schedule in September. Until then, I am using this extra time to do a little more planning and clear the shelves of some gently used school curriculum.
If you have things you would like to clear off your shelf as well, feel free to write your own blog post and come back here and link up. The more we have listed,the more traffic we get, and the more we can bless others with things they are still looking for. Can't wait to see what you have - one person's trash is another's treasure...

CREW Review- Lewis and Clark
Marshall Publishing is a gem of a place for great materials, homeschool or otherwise. Their website is packed full of DVDs ,CDs and books that I encourage you to take some time to peruse. In this day and age when it is hard to find acceptable entertainment for our children, it is nice to find so many great resources under one roof.
For this review we were thrilled to receive the DVD The Historic Expedition of Lewis and Clark. Now, I admit we already knew a great deal about these two explorers having lived out west for most of our military career, but we found this DVD entertaining, none the less.
What does one do with a DVD such as this once watched? Here's my plan.
This video created a lot of talk in our house...how did they feel, were they scared, do you think that really happened, what did they see, what did they eat? It got us thinking and talking, a good thing in a homeschooling house. So I have since found a unit study on Lewis and Clark that we are going to work our way through using the DVD to help us find answers and reiterate what we learned in the study. The glory of home schooling is that we can take it at our own pace, re-watch sections we really like (the animals!) and really dig deep into the material.
The other great thing about combining the DVDs with your study, whether unit study or otherwise, is that you are able to present materials through several different mediums. One of my sons is an auditory learner, BIG TIME! So anything he hears he retains at a much faster rate than say, just reading. For that reason, DVDs and audiotapes are huge resources in our home these days and I am thrilled with the plentiful supply offered at Marshall Publishing!
You can purchase The Historic Expedition of Lewis and Clark DVD for the sale price of $19.95, Use the code TOS27 and get fee shipping on any order you place. These would be a great addition to your family library, as well as great gifts. Don't forget, Christmas is just around the corner!

CREW Review- Math 911
Math 911 is straight forward way to learn math online, with no bells and whistles to entertain, just learning. Professor Weissman believes in Learning Mastery, a "keep on trying" approach that encourages students to get it right without penalizing wrong answers. Step by step solutions are available for each problem with the click of a button.
Once you access the math page, you can choose what level and course to begin with. Nothing fancy, just the problems. As a matter of fact, it reminds me of what the computer screen use to look like when I was younger. My 14 year old's comment was, "What's with the colors?" I, of course, did not notice anything funny about the colors which does sort of point out our age difference.
One thing that I really liked about this program was the downloaded pdf files. Written directly to the student, these are fun teaching tools with some well laid out explanations. Our one complaint is that they do not correspond to a particular lesson. We also liked the fact that you could see via a chart how much of each level you had completed and how far you had worked through the program. You also have a way to access your grades through the introductory screen. If you change levels, however, it will close Math911 and you will have to reopen, a small but slightly annoying feature.
Our biggest complaint- if my daughter had not already had a year of Algebra we would have been lost, I am afraid. While there are explanations of each individual problem, which I believe is good for practice, there is not a real teaching tool involved. If you did not semi know how to do a certain type of problem, I am not real sure how you would figure it out, other than by trial and error. I glanced at the higher levels and was overwhelmed by the information presented with no initial explanation. For that reason, this was not a great fit for our family for a complete math curriculum. I would, however, recommend it if your child needs additional practice. I wish I had been able to have my oldest use it as a review when she was studying for the ACT.
A downloadable version of Math 911 is free and gives you access to the complete Introductory Algebra course. An upgrade is available which will give you access to additional courses such as Intermediate Algebra, Statistics, Trigonometry and pre-calculus. There are regular updates that you can easily access from the website.
Algebra in a flash , normally $49.95, is on sale now for only $9.95 using the promotion homeschool.
Yes, there really is a Professor Weissman! And can I just say that his customer service and commitment to helping you is amazing? He is quick to respond to any questions you have and committed to trying to help you make this program work for you and your family. If you have any questions, the best place to start is with an email to him!
