This year on the crew we have been blessed with a few Math curriculum for review, and as I mentioned before on this blog, I love trying out math curriculum. So, it came to no surprise that I gave the newest one offered a try. This new Math program comes from Stinky Kid Math , and the name of the product is Stinky Kid Math . Yes, I know the name of this Math program is very catching and attention grabbing! What is Stinky Kid Math ? It is an online Math help program. The company specifically does not consider its program as a full Math curriculum but can certainly be used as one. The goal of Stinky Kid Math is to help student master the concepts of Algebra and Geometry. The way they seek to do that is by teaching kids the why and how of Math, so that it can better stick in the mind of the students. They really try to make Math concepts clearer and accessible. As such, it is a perfect add on to any Math curriculum. This is like having a tutor at home. Stinky Kid Math is mad...

We are 2 weeks into September and summer is definitely over. After the burst of heat we had last week here in Toronto, I am glad for the cooler weather we are having now (though it also means starting to cover the neck back again). Our school year started about a month ago. We only took July off, which got quite busy with church activities. August was fluid, mix with school and outdoor activities. Here are a few random 5 from the past month: 1. I harvested tomatoes from my first time ever at trying my hands at balcony garden. I also have peppers growing. Yay me!!! 2 . In the first couple of weeks of back to school we finished up our year 1 of Tapestry of Grace, which we did not get to finish before our break in July. 3.  This year I have enrolled Zach in an online co-op for our Tapestry of Grace curriculum (we are doing year 2). We have had 2 sessions, and so far he is enjoying it. I am glad it will help us keep on track, but that also means pushing him harder at comp...

We live in an age where computer games are very prevalent in the life of kids. Technology has become a staple play item for a lot of children. This being the case, a company called  Dig-It! Games  decided to use this very means as an educational tools. They created two History related educational games, one on Ancient Mayas, called  Mayan Mysteries  (computer game), and one on Ancient Rome, called  Roman Town  (ios app). Members of the crew were offered choices between the two, and we decided to give Roman Town a try. We did review, back in 2011, the Mayan Mysteries computer game , and the boys really enjoyed it, so I figured they would most likely enjoy playing another one from them. I picked Roman Town because we were just finishing our studies of the Romans (at the time of the review), I so figured it would be a nice way to continue the learning. Roman Town is an educational ios app, best suited for middle school students. It features ki...
