GIVEAWAY #1

Adventures in Odessey's

Imagination Station

3-Pack

If you are familiar with the beloved Adventures in Odyssey audio series then you will quickly become a fan of

The Imagination Station Book Series.

Join cousins Patrick and Beth as they travel through time visiting the Holy Land in 1000 BC in Showdown with the Shepherd. Or go with them to medieval times and learn about English knights and jousting in Revenge of the Red Knight.

Just in time for Thanksgiving, you can brush up on your Pilgrim history in Problems in Plymouth.

This 3-pack is the second set in The Imagination Station Series. It is recommended to start from the beginning of the series but it is easy enough to jump right in the middle and enjoy the adventures of Patrick and Beth wherever the Imagination Station may have taken them!

My son, age 8, adores this series. I bought him one of the books for Christmas last year and he couldn't put it down. Once finished he made sure he put it somewhere safe in his room so it doesn't get lost and he can read it again when he wants to.

When I received books 4-6 in the series I told him that he could pick one to read over the next two weeks. He was done in two DAYS. In less than a week he had finished ALL THREE BOOKS and wants to continue on with the rest in the series!

This is a wonderful, safe series that I can trust. I don't have to worry about any hidden, secular agenda. Historical fiction is an excellent way to introduce your children to history in a non-abrasive manner and it really captivates the attention of my son. I've been wanting him to enjoy reading on his own with books other than "school books" and these books have made that happen.

My son enjoys the fact that the endings of the books are never complete. Although it does come to a close in one aspect, there is always a mystery that still needs to be solved. It leaves him on the edge of his seat wanting more. According to my son, there is a ring that the villain Hugh has stolen and the kids need to get it back to Whit. This is the main theme throughout all the books. This Hugh guy apparently is not a fan of the Bible or God and tries to go throughout history and help the enemy win in each story. For example, in the case of David and Goliath, he tried to help the Philistines win against David so history could be changed forever! Nothing like a good time travel story complete with bad guys and all! Intriguing and entertaining for young, emerging readers.

There have been times where he gets so excited about a certain part of one that the books that he wants to read that portion to my husband and I. I love that he is falling in love with reading!

Original 13 Colonies Fact Cards (Free Printable)

These Thirteen Colonies Fact Cards were created for my kids as we studied early American history. What a pivotal time in our history! Puritans seeking religious freedom, adventurers setting out for a new land, and those in debt hoping for a fresh start—a new life. From the first colony in Virginia, until all thirteen stars on the first American flag were represented, these cards are a perfect review for your homeschoolers. Use them to drill the first thirteen colonies so your child can recite them with ease, and have them dictate the information on the cards to help them remember a small fact about each colony. Feel free to print these out and have your children write facts that they learn about each colony on the back. Go ahead and laminate them, too! Simply right-click, save, and print to use this resource in your homeschool as you study about the original thirteen colonies in America. Use the facts for dictation, copy work, or discussion in your home. Disclaimer: All co...

Truck-Themed Homeschool Chore Chart

Use this truck-themed homeschool chore chart to keep your kids on track throughout the school week. With lessons, field trips, meals, and unexpected errands filling up your week, even the simplest chore chart can help your home run more smoothly. At times, kids are excited for the new opportunity to help out around the house and do it with joy. Other times they stomp toward the trash can with anything but a good attitude. Help keep attitudes in check by using stickers, smiley faces, or positive verbal reinforcement as your child completes each task on the chart. For the child who loves lists (and the mom) this is the perfect free printable to have on hand! (Simply right-click, save, and print)

The Pencil Grip Inc. {Review}

We have found what we have been looking for in The Pencil Grip Inc .'s 24 pack of Magic Stix Washable Markers . These markers are the perfect fit for a homeschooling family such as ours. I am thrilled to tell you about our experience with them! Normally, I do not have a favorable impression of markers for several reasons. For one, as a kid, I remember markers having such a strong smell that it would give me a headache. I know some kids enjoyed the scents but it certainly was not for me. And to be honest, if I had markers like that in my house today, my kids would probably stick them up their nose or something. Another reason I have a distaste for markers is the drying out factor. As a parent of many children this is super frustrating. I finally teach the older ones to put the caps back on when they are done using their markers but then a younger one comes along and just doesn't understand. This then leads to the undue frustration of your child sitting down to...
