                                                                      My Thoughts

I was pleasantly surprised to see within the trailer, that a local actress is an extra in this film! She and her family are so sweet and I miss seeing her around at local homeschooling events now that she is pursuing her acting career. The world of film is busy and like the character of Tyson, she is definitely chasing her dreams. I found it humorous that she played a mean high school girl who glared at Tyson who had been homeschooled his whole life when he first entered the classroom. Considering she was homeschooled growing up it just made me laugh. :)

This movie was filled with inspiration and real-life situations. I highly recommended this movie to a friend of mine who works with autistic kids on a regular basis because I knew she could relate, especially with the running part, she had seen many children run off when faced with difficult situations. Yet when I recommended it to another friend I told her that her younger kids probably should not watch it with her and her husband since there are a few mature themes in the high school classroom scenes. If you have younger children in the home, please take note.  

If you know of anyone with a ministry to autistic kids or their parents they need to see this film. The restoration theme is powerful as you watch the relationship between Tyson and his dad strengthen throughout the film. Additionally, anyone with or without kids would be inspired by this film. Be sure to check it out in theaters this weekend!

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.

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...
