Our Experience

My kids were familiar with the scratch program and the Raspberry Pi (a class is offered teaching about how to use the Pi) going into bitWise. We joined hoping to learn more about coding, programming and more. My kids were not disappointed. Although my oldest son already can navigate through Scratch and the Pi easily, my eleven and nine-year olds learned a lot with the programs on bitWise academy. My son taught himself a few years ago but my other son and daughter were able to catch up to his skill level using bitWise. Everyone learns differently. If your child is a self-learner, buy a Pi and let him explore. If your child tends to do well visually seeing step-by-step how to do things then bitWise is for you. It is simple, easy to understand and easy to follow.

The only difficult aspect is the fact that the audio is a computer so it is hard to understand at times and oftentimes pronounces words incorrectly, similar to a GPS that doesn't know how to correctly pronounce a street name because phonetically, it just does not work. Although I love computers and appreciate how AI is improving our lives, there is much to be said about good old-fashioned human interaction. A human voice-over would have been easier to understand. Other than that, the program is an excellent resource for kids and teens wanting to get into programming or coding.

The lessons are include many aspects with many activities to complete with each one.

Hands-down, my kids favorite course was Fundamentals of Art. They loved it. It breaks down basic art concepts that can be used for computer programming.

Overall, I recommend this program for homeschoolers all across the US. And, at this time, they are offering a yearly subscription for half the price!

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...

The best tutors performed a quick test of the syllabus or module curriculum to understand where the student needed help and what they were more comfortable with. klasstutoring.com

The drone market has really exploded over the past two years, so with more models than ever before, just how do you go about selecting the right drone for you? or someone else if it is a gift for that matter? There are new models coming in from China as global trade continues to blossom and some of them are relatively cheap compared to the original giants among the radio-controlled modeling world. toy drones
