I'm an unorganized, homeschooling mom of two, who just recently started a photography business. My days are filled with school work, extra-curricular activities, meal planning, cleaning, blogging responsibilities, photo-sessions, and image editing. I've been having an extremely hard time juggling everything and most days end with me feeling frustrated and overwhelmed. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
How did I use <i>The 7 Minute Life Daily Planner</i>? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-Once I received the planner, it took me a few days to figure out how to use it. I watched the above video and the additional <a href="http://the7minutelife.com/daily-planner-videos/">videos</a>, read the introduction, and completed the activities within the introduction. It seemed like a lot of preparation to learn how to use a planner. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-For the first week, I tried to fill in every space, but quickly discovered, that I was spending way too much time recording everything that wasn't necessary for my lifestyle. Afterward, I decided to simplify my daily progress reports. I only filled out the "<i>What I will do...5 before 11</i>" and "7<i> Minute Connections</i>" sections. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-For my daily life, the "<i>What I will do...5 before 11</i>" section was very beneficial. It is a simple way to make a prioritized list of the five highest-value activities and committing to finishing each one before 11:00am.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One of my 5 before 11 lists... </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1. Unload dishwasher.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2. Wash and dry two loads of laundry. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3. Give dog heart worm medicine.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
4. Call refrigerator repair guy. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
5. Complete 7 Minute Connections </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Even though these were small tasks, it did help me stay motivated to complete another five tasks the following day. And, I really did enjoy checking the "yes" box at the bottom of the daily progress report after the question, <i>Did I do what I said I would do today? </i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-For my photography business, the "<i>7 Minute Connections</i>" section was a simple and helpful way to stay connected with clients. I would list three people that I needed to connect with, such as writing a reminder email to a client, following up with a Facebook message from a prospective client, or sending out a thank you note after a photo-session. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="background-color: #666666;">uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
What did I like about <i>The 7 Minute Life Daily Planner</i>? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-It encouraged me to take 7 minutes of my day to think about and create a written daily plan of action, then I was able to focus and complete those five tasks. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-The "<i>What I will do...5 before 11</i>" section helped improve my time management and increased my daily productivity. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-10% of all net profits are donated to a charitable fund, which provides water, food, education, and animals to people in need. </div>

The girls and I always enjoy our visits to <a href="http://www.naturalbridgeva.com/">Natural Bridge and the Monacan Village</a>. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In 1774, just prior to the American Revolution and writing of the Declaration of Independence, Thomas Jefferson purchased the Natural Bridge and 157 acres of surrounding land for 20 shillings from King George III of England. </div>

It is believed that George Washington surveyed the Natural Bridge and carved his initials on the wall of the bridge. The girls always remember to look for George Washington's initials. The little white rectangle is a great reminder. </div>

<i>"According to tradition, the Monacan Indian people called the Natural Bridge “The Bridge of God” after discovering it while evading an advancing enemy centuries ago. Today the Monacan Indian Nation and Virginia’s Natural Bridge Park have joined together to construct a living history exhibit, which is popular with education programs and visitors alike. Guests have the opportunity to step back in time over 300 years to visualize what life was like in a typical Monacan Indian settlement. The exhibit is along the Cedar Creek nature trail, just past the Natural Bridge. Learn about cooking, tool production, pottery, basket weaving, gardening, and more."</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The Monacan Village is an exciting area to explore. The daily activities change seasonally, so my girls learn something new with each visit. Over the last few weeks, we've been learning about the different Native American tribes throughout the United States, so it was great for them to see the settlement and daily chores of Native Americans that actually lived in our area. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
My girls, ages 7 and 5, love music, whether they're singing and dancing along to a favorite character's theme song in our living room or a popular song on the radio, they are constantly singing. It seems like once the lyrics go in, they are easily remembered and repeated. So, I'm always monitoring their music and trying to find wholesome age-appropriate music for them to listen and sing along too. <br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
How did we incorporate <i>Happy Kids Songs</i>?<br />
<br />
-After downloading the songs, I reviewed all songs and decided which ones were most appropriate for my girls. Most of the songs had a catchy beat and had a good message for young children. However, there were several songs that I did not find appropriate or beneficial for our home; therefore, my girls were unable to listen to those particular songs. Once I decided which songs were a good fit for our family, I simply burned the songs on a CD. <br />
<br />
-After reviewing the songs, I wasn't sure how my girls were going to respond. My girls love music, but they are very picky about their music. They listened to the <i>Happy Kids Songs</i>, while free playing and while in the car. They enjoyed many of the songs, but found some songs a little too childish. <br />

<br />
What did I like about the albums from <i>Happy Kids Songs</i>?<br />
<br />
-The songs were age-appropriate for younger children and the themes were directly related to common issues for the age group of 3-8 years old. However, several topics were questionable with how they were presented. I would highly recommend parents to preview the songs first and decide which songs are appropriate for your children.<br />
<br />
-The variety of music was refreshing. Each song had it's own style. There were adult and child soloists, children's chorus, and a wide range of instruments and styles of music. <br />
<br />
-You can create your own custom CD for your children by downloading and burning only the songs that you want. This is extremely beneficial. <br />

<a href="http://www.wizzygizmo.com/">Wizzy Gizmo</a> is a series of Bible books, audio books, and flashcards that explain the Bible in a fun and engaging way. During the summer, we spend a lot of time traveling, so I'm always trying to find purposeful movies and audio resources for my girls, ages 7 and 5. <a href="https://www.wizzygizmo.com/shop/ot-audio-drama-one-who-created-everything/">Audio Drama One: Who Created Everything?</a> has been a huge hit this summer! </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
What's included with <i>Audio Drama One: Who Created Everything?</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-There are a total of 22 tracks; 60 minutes in length. The audio drama is based on Genesis chapter one and lasts for 36 minutes. The remaining 24 minutes consists of bonus soundtrack content. The tracks continuously flow from narration, retelling the days of creation, and entertaining songs. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-The CD begins with a new child in town, Eli, who meets new friends that invite him to Wizzy Gizmo's workshop. Wizzy Gizmo is a genius inventor, who loves God and loves to explore the Bible. He recently completed his newest invention, the Gizmovision, which allows him to travel back in time. They decide to travel back to the beginning of time and are able to observe what happened on each day of creation. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- The audio drama is followed by a short Giz Quiz about the days of creation. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-There are 5 <a href="https://www.wizzygizmo.com/shop/ot-audio-drama-one-who-created-everything/">samples</a> from the audio drama section of the CD to give you a glimpse of the awesomeness.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-The last 24 minutes consists of a bonus soundtrack, including 7 songs, 5 of the songs are instrumental. My girls really enjoyed listening and singing along with the songs. The instrumental songs were very soothing.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
What are my final thoughts on <i>Audio Drama One: Who Created Everything?</i> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-My girls loved it! There was a ton of giggling happening in the back seat each time they listened to the CD. Not only were they entertained by the silliness, they were exploring the amazing wonders of creation. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-I appreciate that the story was age-appropriate for younger children. My girls didn't mind listening to the story, over and over, again. Each time, they would catch a new detail or have a new question to ask. It really encouraged family discussions regarding creation. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-The narration and variety of voices kept my girls' attention. The silliness helped too. At first, I was concern that the silliness was going to be too much and it would take away from the Biblical story, but I was wrong. There was a nice balance between fiction and non-fiction within the story. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-The songs were really good and very easy to sing along with. We all enjoyed singing along with the songs! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-I'm hoping that <a href="https://www.wizzygizmo.com/shop/in-his-image/">Book 2: In His Image</a> will be available as an Audio Drama, as we would love to add to our audio collection. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In conclusion, I would highly recommend <i>Audio Drama One: Who Created Everything?</i><br />

<a href="https://www.hewitthomeschooling.com/Home/hMain.aspx">Hewitt Homeschooling</a> has been helping homeschooling families for over three decades. They strive to introduce great literature to your children, while helping them with reading, writing, and communication skills. <br />
<br />
Recently, Hewitt Homeschooling designed the Lightning Literature series for elementary children. Last year, they introduced the first grade level and the second grade level will be available this fall.<br />
<br />
We were thrilled to review the Lightning Literature for first grade.<br />
<br />
We received the following:<br />

<br />
I love to snuggle up on the couch and read books with my girls. It is my favorite part of the day. I was so excited when I discovered that the Lightning Literature series incorporates award-winning children's books into their curriculum. There are 36 weeks of organized lessons and activities. Each week incorporates one amazingly awesome picture book to read with your child. Here is the <a href="https://www.hewitthomeschooling.com/Materials/Information/3504Contents.pdf">list</a> of the books that are covered throughout the year.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
-The soft bound teacher's guide has a total of 306 pages. <br />
<br />
-At the beginning of the teacher's guide, there is a detailed introduction on how to use the curriculum and a brief overview of the suggested daily schedule. The curriculum is intended to be used 4 days a week for 36 weeks. Your student will complete three sections, Literature, Grammar and Mechanics, and Composition, each day.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
-The reminder of the teacher's guide is divided into 36 weeks. Each week begins with brief glance of the week, which includes objectives and needed materials. Followed by detailed daily lessons plans, including questions and discussion topics for each book, grammar and mechanics instruction, and weekly composition activities. <br />
<br />

<br />
-The student workbook is divided into 36 weeks. Each week has daily colorful lessons and/or activities to complete. <br />

How did we use the <i>Lightning Literature and Composition First Grade</i> curriculum?<br />
<br />
-We used the curriculum on a daily basis during the review period. We followed the suggested schedule found in the teacher's guide. Specific days follow the same sequence, weekly.<br />
<br />
-Every Monday, the book of the week was introduced, which we read together as a read-aloud, then Izzie would answer the provided comprehension questions. There is a space provided in the Teacher's guide to record your student's answers; however, I found it more convenient not to use the provided space. Afterward, she would complete a corresponding grammar and mechanics workbook page found in her Student Workbook. Finally, she would complete a composition activity.<br />

-Tuesday is referred to as Narration Day. Instead of rereading the book of the week, Izzie would retell as much of the book as she could remember, including the story, character, setting, external and internal details, and conflict. Again, she would complete the corresponding grammar and mechanics workbook page found in her Student Workbook. Afterward, she would complete a different composition activity.<br />

-On Wednesdays, we would reread the book of the week. This time Izzie would read the book to me. Afterward, she would answer the provided questions, which were more inferential and evaluative. On Wednesdays, there are optional workbook page activities, such as completing dictionary, alphabet, or sentences pages. Izzie did not complete these activities, since we aren't schooling full-time this summer. However, she will complete these activities once we start school in the fall. <br />
<br />
-Every Thursday, there is a specific Aesop's fable assigned to be read. Afterward, there is a grammar and mechanics workbook page to be completed. Finally, your student will write their final draft from the week's composition activities. <br />

What did I like about the <i>Lightning Literature and Composition First Grade </i>curriculum?<br />
<br />
1. It was very simple to incorporate the curriculum into our daily schedule. It took Izzie an average of 30 minutes a day to complete all assignments. <br />
<br />
2. It is very parent-friendly. Besides a trip to the local library, everything is already planned for me! We only needed the weekly book, the teacher's guide, and the student workbook to complete the assignments.<br />
<br />
3. The teacher's guide is extremely organized and contains detailed instructions with daily lessons plans. There was very little prep, which saved me a lot of time. <br />
<br />
4. The student workbook contains short, colorful lessons and activities that are age appropriate. The workbooks pages are easily transferable to a binder since they are already perforated and hole-punched.<br />
<br />
5. Izzie is being exposed to amazing children's literature, while learning to read and write.<br />

<span style="background-color: white;">How did we incorporate the Moving Beyond the Page curriculum into our daily schedule?</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white;">All units are divided into daily lessons plans, so Izzie, 7 years old, completed one lesson from each package (language arts and science) each day. She completed 3-4 lessons per week from each package, averaging about 2 hours per lesson. It took her approximately 3 weeks to complete both packages.</span><br />

Poppy is a courageous deer mouse who has many adventures as she outwits a great horned owl, Mr. Ocax, who no one dares to disobey. Throughout the book, she finds herself in terrible danger, as she struggles to overcome the cycle of power that has gripped her family for generations.</div>

Once a lesson is completed, it is highlighted and marked through. This is a great quick visual to see exactly which lesson you are on. <br />
<br />
The lessons are broken down into daily lesson plans. Once you click on the desired lesson, it takes you to a screen with <i>Questions to Explore</i>-questions related to the concept, <i>Facts and Definitions-</i>knowledge and vocabulary for the lesson<i>, Skills</i>-objectives that the student will learn or do, and <i>Materials</i>--supplies needed for the lesson. <br />

Next, there is a brief <i>Introduction</i> for the parent and student. Then, there is a reading assignment from <i>Poppy</i>. Each lesson had the student read two chapters from the book. We read <i>Poppy </i>as a family read aloud. After reading the two chapters, there are comprehension and discussion questions. The questions can be answered verbally, printed, or typed. Notice the two icons at the top right hand side. If the pencil icon is clicked, the questions are downloaded to a PDF, which can be printed so that the student can answers the questions by paper and pencil. If the keyboard icon is clicked, the questions appear in another window and the student can type his or her answers, then print the handout.<br />

One difference between the online guide and the physical guide is <i>Idea Share</i>. The Idea Share is the blue icon, which once clicked will show you all ideas about the concept that have been shared by other parents. In Lesson 3, there was only one idea shared. It was about a virtual owl pellet dissection. This area could be very beneficial if you were wanting more ideas and activities for your student. <br />

Here are a few activities that Izzie completed during the Language Arts Package about <i>Poppy</i>. <br />
<br />
In Lesson 1, Activity 4, she completed the Setting Map. On poster board, she created a map of the places where the events of the story take place. She was thrilled with the finished project and was able to use the map with each lesson as she read the story. When major events happened, such as a death, she labeled them on her map. In addition, she was able to trace Poppy's journey throughout the chapters.<br />

In Lesson 3, Activity 3, the girls dissected an owl pellet. The <i>Owl Pellet Dissection Kit</i> is included in the package. However, it only came with one pellet and I knew both girls would want to dissect their own, so I purchased another kit. Please note that Mac, 5 years old, did not complete any other activities. She did listen to the story because I read it as a family read aloud and she was extremely excited to dissect an owl pellet.<br />

All literature units incorporate activities related to the book, including vocabulary, writing practice, grammar activities, and suggested spelling words. In addition, many of the activities have two options, one being more advanced. This is an easy way to differentiate activities and choose the best option for your child's abilities. <br />
<br />
In Lesson 2, Activity 3, conjunctions were introduced and Izzie had to combine sentences by using a conjunction. There were two different options. Izzie completed option 1.<br />

Next, there is a brief <i>Introduction</i> for the parent and student. Followed by, several <i>Activities</i> to complete. For many activities within the lessons, there are 2 different options, which allow the parent to decide which level is the most appropriate for the child based on his or her abilities and skills. Lastly, the lesson is completed with a <i>Wrapping Up</i> section, which reviews the information and allows the student to explain what he or she had learned. In addition, some lessons include a <i>Life Application</i> activity, which encourages the student to apply the new knowledge and/or skills. </div>

In Lesson 1, Izzie reviewed the characteristics of life, the needs of living things, and adaptions for survival. For Activity 1, she colored all the above pictures that were living, then wrote a brief description that explained why each was considered living. Afterward, she organized the living organisms into plants and animals.<br />

<u>Lesson 3: Life Cycles of Animals</u><br />
<br />
In Lesson 3, Izzie learned about various life cycles. In Activity 1, she was to color, cut, and paste each life cycle stage in order on a wheel. As you notice, there were two different options to complete this activity. The first option had the three organisms and their stages organized into separate boxes, whereas the second option had all the vocabulary together.<br />

<br />
At the end of Lesson 3, in Activity 6, Izzie was able to compare and contrast life cycles. Again, there were two options, the first option was comparing/contrasting two life cycles and the second option was comparing three different life cycles. I love that the curriculum incorporates graphic organizers! I really like the differentiated activities and being able to choose which activity was best suited for Izzie's abilities.<br />

What are my final thoughts regarding Moving Beyond the Page curriculum?<br />
<br />
1. I encourage my girls to read quality literature, so I'm drawn to their literature-based curriculum. It's a additional advantage that they incorporate science and social studies within their language arts units! The book, <i>Poppy</i>, was outstanding and the science books were very colorful and informative.<br />
<br />
2. It was extremely easy to incorporate into our homeschooling schedule. I appreciate that the units can be used independently or together. It was simple to integrate both packages, by simply completing one lesson from each (language arts and science) daily. The information from both packages flowed together seamlessly.<br />
<br />
3. Izzie enjoyed using the hands-on and investigative approach while learning. The activities were meaningful and well-thought out. I liked that most of the activities were differentiated, which allowed me the ability to choose which option was best for Izzie's abilities and skills.<br />
<br />
4. I preferred the physical guide over the online guide. I like having a hard copy to highlight, make notes, and to use for quick reference. However, both guides were very organized and user friendly.<br />
<br />
5. My only suggestion would be to have a separate student guide. I liked being able to print off the student activities from the online guide, rather than Izzie completing the pages in the physical guide. When she was working on the student activities pages in the physical guide, I was not able to have access to the physical guide. This was especially time-consuming, when she was diligently working and I was trying to prepare for the next activity.</div>

Mac found a super cute series that she has fallen in love with...<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Mercy-Watson-Boxed-Set-Adventures/dp/0763657093/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1404435870&sr=8-1&keywords=mercy+watson">Mercy Watson</a>. We've read 5 out of the 6 books. Unfortunately, our library doesn't have the missing one! </div>

<a href="http://www.veritaspress.com/">Veritas Press</a> publishes award-winning classical education curriculum. The curriculum is presented by the use of the Trivium method, which consists of three stages of learning; grammar, dialectic, and rhetoric. The material included within the curriculum is developmentally appropriate and focuses on training students in the truth, beauty, and goodness of the world that God had created. <br />
<br />
I was thrilled to have the opportunity to review <a href="http://www.veritaspress.com/online-education-self-paced-history/">Veritas Press Self-Paced History</a>, which is an online course. Vertias Press presents history in a chronological timeline, while integrating biblical history with events not recorded in Scripture in order for children to understand the relationship. <br />
<br />

<br />
There are five self-paced history courses available:<br />
<br />
<a href="https://vpsa.veritaspress.com/term/2/courses/156">Old Testament and Ancient Egypt</a><br />
<br />
<a href="https://vpsa.veritaspress.com/term/2/courses/157">New Testament, Greece and Rome</a><br />
<br />
<a href="https://vpsa.veritaspress.com/term/2/courses/158">Middle Ages, Renaissance and Reformation</a><br />
<br />
<a href="https://vpsa.veritaspress.com/term/2/courses/159">Explorers to 1815</a><br />
<br />
<a href="https://vpsa.veritaspress.com/term/2/courses/32">1815 to Present</a><br />
<br />
Each of the self-paced history courses consists of 160 class periods and covers 32 important historical events. Once registered, you are able to choose your start date and will have one year from the start date to complete the course. <br />
<br />
Cost: $199 per student for one course. <br />
There is a $100 off discount for additional students.<br />
<br />
Recommended Age: 2nd-6th grades with the student being a minimum of 7 years old.<br />
<br />
There are <a href="http://resource2.veritaspress.com/sp_history/">samples</a> of each course available to help determine which would be the best fit for your family.<br />
<br />
In addition, for each self-paced course, there are supplementary flashcards, $19.95, that are recommended for purchase. <br />

Izzie, 7 years old, will be studying American History in the fall, so I decided that the <i>Explorers to 1815</i> course would be a great summer enrichment.<br />
<br />

What's included in the <i>Explorers to 1815</i> course?<br />
<br />
-There are a total of 32 important historical events, starting with Prince Henry the Navigator and ending with the Missouri Compromise. <br />
<br />
-Each event is covered in 5 lessons of approximately 30-50 minutes in length. There are a total of 160 lessons. It is suggested that 1 historical event (5 lessons) should be completed per week, allowing the course to be completed in 32 weeks. However, since the course is self-paced and the subscription is activated for 52 weeks, it is extremely flexible to fit the schedule of your family.<br />
<br />
-Each lesson is taught by interactive people and/or figures. Izzie found this aspect very entertaining, especially, the talking totem pole!<br />

-Throughout the interactive lessons, there are a variety of activities that help the student to memorize names, dates, and places. <br />
<br />
I really liked the repetition of the vocabulary and multiple opportunities to master the concept. However, Izzie was not able to complete many of the assessments independently. She needed help reading the words/phrases/sentences. It would be extremely beneficial for the course to have an optional reading icon for emergent and/or struggling readers.<br />

Izzie's favorite interactive activity was clicking and dragging names of places to their correct location on the map. Again, if she mislabeled a location, it was placed back in the box and she was able to try again. The curriculum truly focuses on mastering the concept instead of right/wrong answers.<br />

She also enjoyed playing the <i>Prince Henry the Navigator</i> game. She guided Prince Henry around, while trying to search for missing pieces of a map. In order to obtain the piece of the map, she had to answer review questions. Again, it would have been extremely beneficial for her to have an optional reading icon. She needed help reading some of the unfamiliar words.</div>

Izzie's least favorite activity was the spelling activity. She was given a word, such as "cloister" and had to spell in correctly within a specific time frame. Izzie is only 7 years old and many of the words were new vocabulary, so she did not know how to spell them. Honestly, I struggled helping her spell "cloister". I would suggest having an option to remove the timer. <br />

At first, Izzie was very excited to work the puzzle activities, but each time she would get too frustrated to complete the puzzle. She was shown what the puzzle looked like at the beginning, but once she hit the next button, the original image disappeared and she had to complete the puzzle without a visual guide. For younger students, it would be extremely helpful to have the completed puzzle image on the same slide so that the student can reference the image, while completing the puzzle. <br />

2. Since it is a self-paced course online, it is extremely convenient and flexible to meet the needs of my family's schedule. </div>

3. The interactive activities were fun and engaging, which helped Izzie memorize the names, dates, and places in a short time period.</div>

4. The supplementary <i>Explorers to 1815</i> flashcards are nice to use as a visual timeline. However, if your budget is tight, I don't think they are necessary. </div>

5. I'm debating on whether to purchase the optional <a href="https://vpsa.veritaspress.com/term/2/courses/32">Literature Kit</a>. There are 3 different kits: <a href="http://www.veritaspress.com/prodinfo.asp?number=000510">Level 1</a> for grades 2-3, <a href="http://www.veritaspress.com/1815-present-self-paced-lit-kit-level-2.html">Level 2 </a>for grades 4-6, and a combination kit for <a href="http://www.veritaspress.com/1815-present-self-paced-lit-kit-level-2.html">Levels 1 and 2</a>, which is perfect for a family with multiple children in various grades. There is a historical fiction reading schedule that corresponds to each lesson, included with the self-paced course. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
6. My only suggestion for improvement would be to add a reading icon to help emergent and struggling readers. Otherwise, I would recommend the self-paced course to children who are fluent readers.</div>

The girls and I have been traveling around the world. The latest country that we visited was Panama. The girls learned about mola art. A mola is part of the traditional costume of a Kuna woman. The Kuna women will use two mola panels to create their blouses. Over the years, they have taken the mola panels and created many different uses for them, such as framed art, pillows, place mats,wall hangings, or quilting projects. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Recently, they have begun to depict flowers, sea animals, and birds onto the molas, instead of just geometric designs. The girls and a few of their friends created their own interpretation of mola art by using the outline of an animal and geometric designs. </div>

How did we incorporate <i>LearningPalette.com</i> into our homeschool?<br />
<br />
Mac, 5 years old, focused mainly on the math portion during the review period. She began with the Basic Level with the first topic, Numeration Step 1-Matching and Early Numbers. She started with Card 1 and worked her way through the remaining learning palette cards. Once a learning palette card is completed, the circle changes to green.<br />
<br />

Every card is set up basically the same way. There is a circular palette in the center, which contains the questions. On the left hand side, there are 12 color coded disks (6 solid and 6 hollow) that are used to indicate the correct answer by clicking and dragging each disk to the correct spot on the learning palette.<br />
<br />
On Card 1, Mac was asked to match the color coded disks to the correct
paint color. As you can notice, the card is divided in half, with the hollow disks being used on top and the solid disks being used on the bottom. After clicking and dragging several of the color disks,
she got frustrated with the process. I ended up controlling the mouse, while she
would just point to the correct spot. <br />

I really like the self-check aspect of the program. At any time during the clicking and dragging, your student can check his/her answers and change the incorrect ones. Unfortunately, Mac was not able to use the program independently. However, she still enjoyed seeing the little green checks to indicate that her responses were correct. <br />

Mac found the palette cards that were divided in half or in quarters the easiest to understand. In the Basic Level on Card 8, she was asked to sequence the events in each quarter. <br />

However, the cards that were divided into more parts were much more complicated to understand. In the Basic Level on Card 4, she was asked to determine which set had more and which had less. <br />

<br />
In Level 1 on Concept 1-Reading Comprehension, Card 1, Izzie was asked to complete the sentences with the correct word. She was able to read each sentence and choose the correct word, but struggled with matching the correct color disk to the correct word. There were several times that she would mix up the solid and hollow color disks. Thankfully, she was able to correct her mistakes by using the self-checking option. However, this meant her evaluation time was longer than she liked. She was very obsessed with the time on her evaluation. I don't think including the completion time is necessary or it would be nice to have the option to remove it. <br />

Izzie preferred the learning palettes that had all the questions in the center, instead of being divided in a specific way. In Level 1, Concept 2-Nouns, Verbs, and Adjectives, Card 2, she was asked to differentiate between singular and plural nouns. <br />

1. I really like that the family subscription includes all levels of math and reading. It's a nice way to supplement and differentiate all students in the family. <br />

2. It's extremely convenient that each student in the family has his/her own account; therefore, he/she can work at his/her own pace. <br />
<br />
3. The program is user-friendly and most children are able to work independently. Younger children may need help with the clicking and dragging of the mouse, but can still answer the questions. <br />
<br />
4. It's great that there is immediate self-correction, which allows the students to understand and correct errors and evaluate their own progress.<br />
<br />
5. Parents can easily check their students' progress by looking over the progress reports. If a child needs more practice, they can complete the section, again.<br />

This year at our weekly co-op, Izzie participated in an art class, <a href="http://www.meetthemasters.com/">Meet the Masters</a>. She absolutely LOVED it! She learned a great deal of information about each artist and was able to recreate their techniques, while creating her own masterpieces. </div>

<br />
How did we incorporate <i>Digital Heroes and Heroines of the Past: American History Curriculum </i>into our daily schedule?<br />
<br />
We followed the suggested schedule of completing one lesson per day, which resulted in completing one section each week. Each lesson took approximately 30-60 minutes to complete. <br />
<br />
The lessons in the Part 1 and Part 2 e-books are divided into two sections. The first section is geared toward 1st and 2nd grades with the information presented as a basic overview. The second section contains the same information, but is more advanced for 3rd through 6th grades. You can see the difference by viewing the <a href="http://amypuetz.com/H&HotPAmericanHistorySample.pdf">sample</a> for Section 1, Lessons 1-3.<br />
<br />
We used the reading section as a read aloud. The following is the one-page reading material from Section 1, Lesson 4, for 1st-2nd grade. You will notice that the font is larger and that there is only one picture. <br />

Izzie, 7 years old, preferred the 3rd-6th grade reading section over the 1st-2nd grade reading section. The following is the three-page reading material from Section 1, Lesson 4, for 3rd through 6th grades. The older reading material included more detailed information, more pictures, and a map. <br />

<br />
After reading the lesson material, I would choose a couple of activities for Izzie to complete. At the end of each lesson, there are a variety of activities to complete. The activities include review questions, writing topics, mapping skills, hands-on projects, additional reading assignments, examining historical art, timeline information, historical skits, games, recipes, songs, and a memory verse to recite. This particular lesson had two pages worth of activities at the end of the lesson. <br />

Izzie always completed the review questions, orally. Some of the review questions at the end of each lesson seemed to correspond better with the older reading material; however, most questions were open-ended. She also enjoyed completing the Geography section, which focused mostly on mapping skills. Most of the maps within the reading section were too small to actually use, but she still enjoyed investigating the maps. Some of the maps are available in a larger format on the <i>Additional Materials</i> download, but not all of them. </div>

What did I like about <i>Digital Heroes and Heroines of the Past: American History Curriculum?</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
1. It is very adaptable for different style learners by simply choosing which additional activities to complete.<br />
<br />
2. It can be used by the whole family, even with different grade levels, by using the differentiated reading material and by choosing specific activities for different students.<br />
<br />
3. The implementation of a variety of cross-curricular activities that included, geography, art, music, drama, writing, and literature, was extremely beneficial. <br />
<br />
4. I have been searching for an American history curriculum with a Charlotte Mason approach for awhile. After using the <i>Digital Heroes and Heroines of the Past: American History Curriculum, </i>I'm thrilled to announce that it does have a Charlotte Mason approach, which is a great fit for our family!<br />

<br />
In conclusion, I would recommend <i>Heroes and Heroines of the Past: American History Curriculum</i>. However, I would encourage you to purchase the "printed" version. It's the EXACT same price as the "digital" version. Save yourself time, ink, paper, and money and go with the printed version!<br />

The student book introduces lowercase letters first. The letters in the workbook are organized by initial strokes. The lowercase letters are divided into swing letters, curve letters, loop letters, and bump letters. After the lowercase letters are mastered, the student will continue with uppercase letters. The uppercase letters are divided into roll letters, loop letters, circle letters, slash letters, and miscellaneous letters. Throughout learning the letters, the student will be introduced to connecting letters within words.<br />
<br />
Each letter is introduced with a multi-sensory approach beginning with large-motor movements. The parent will demonstrate how to write the letter using his/her pointer finger on the Handwriting Chart included in the student workbook, while stating the proper instructions aloud and ending with the sound(s) made by the letter. The student will imitate the motions using his/her pointer finger, while restating the instructions and making the sound(s) of the letter. <br />

In addition, there is a Rhythm of Handwriting Quick Reference included in the set. The chart is printed on thick card-stock and coated for durability. It is color-coded and neatly organized by initial stokes. Each letter has the short, bold, rhythmic instructions on how to properly write the letter. There is a fold out flap that includes instructions for proper ways to connect letters. <br />

What did I like about the <i>Rhythm of Handwriting Cursive-Complete Set</i>?<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
1. It was extremely parent and child friendly, which made it easy to incorporate into our daily schedule. <br />
<br />
2. It teaches mastery of letter formation; therefore, each child can work at his/her own pace.<br />
<br />
3. The detailed instructions are very clear and simple to understand, which results in minimal parent preparation. <br />
<br />
4. Izzie benefited from having the a multi-sensory curriculum. She really enjoyed using the tactile cards, while learning how to properly write the letters. This greatly reduced her frustration because she wasn't trying to prefect the letters on paper before knowing exactly how to write the letters. <br />

The girls and I are still traveling around the world! This week, they learned about the history of the American flag. Did you know that the design of the American flag has been officially modified 26 times since 1777? The most current American flag was designed by a 17-year old high school student in 1959. In addition, they learned what the colors, stripes, and stars represent on the American flag. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

The girls and several of their friends had a great time creating their own <a href="http://artroom104.blogspot.com/2013/01/jasper-johns-flags.html">Jasper Johns</a> American flags. </div>
