Yesterday my son got an impromptu lesson from his father on how to fix a DVD player and a VCR. He got a good look at the inner workings, and was allowed to help screw bolts into place. They played the historic Samurai game again, too. Today we talked about the Vascular system. He wanted [...]
Educational Games: Samurai Warriors
November 17, 2008 – 11:14 pm
Funny as it seems, my son and husband decided to play this war game on Xbox tonight. I got curious as to whether the battle was made of real armies, since there were so many accurate names on the battlefield. It was just weird to see that most of the people on the game have [...]
My FLYbaby: decluttering
August 13, 2008 – 12:08 am
So we did a “big things boogie” tonight. Ten minutes, ten large things from his room to be given away or tossed. Another 10 minutes, 10 large things to put away. He is so happy with the progress he is seeing as he daily puts away things in his room, gets rid of things that [...]
Brainiversity from Brighter Minds Media
July 2, 2008 – 3:14 pm
I was privileged to be able and preview the full version of this awesome game called Brainiversity. This game is set up to hone your brain power and help you improve all the basic skills that you need in order to retain, categorize, and deal with information. There is so much more to it than [...]
Educational Games: VSmile
June 18, 2008 – 1:12 pm
He is reinforcing his skills today on his Wiggles game for Vsmile. There are a good number of minigames that cover math, reading, following directions, music, and more. I think that will be “school” for today…that and a trip to the library. We are 8 1/2 books into our summer reading splash. He is learning [...]
Opera and classical music via Bugs Bunny
June 13, 2008 – 2:57 pm
Yes, I did. I had him on YouTube this morning looking at different clips of Bugs Bunny classics like “Kill the Wabbit”. He loves classic cartoons and classical music, so I figured why not? Learning has to be fun sometimes or both of our heads would explode. His favorite was my favorite: Presenting What’s Opera [...]
The stories that make me cry: $5 for 5 years
May 26, 2008 – 11:12 am
Mrs. Marie, a great Bible teacher at our church, sowed into my son’s life. She gave him a dollar to put in the baby bottles at our church and a dollar for ice cream. The baby bottle program is designed to donate money to babies that would otherwise die without it. There is a whole [...]
More reading & the fruits of the spirit
May 19, 2008 – 9:04 pm
Today he decided to do more words. I cannot stop this kid! He is loving learning on his little chalkboard easel. We did a number of words. He also remembered that some words have a long A sound because they end in E. The two words he did today for that were cake and cage. [...]
Valentines for the Kids
February 12, 2008 – 11:30 pm
My son and I made up a bunch of Valentine’s Day cards for his library class yesterday. He did most of the tracing, cutting, gluing, and writing. They came out really nice. I am proud of how well he followed directions. He is also dedicating himself to his Jiu Jitsu classes more. He did me [...]
