Three Teaching Me

Alpha-Omega

The folks from AO emailed me yesterday and asked if I would put a link to their site on my blog.  They thanked me first , of course, for mentioning their product in my blog.  When I read their message, I wasn't quite sure how I felt about a company asking me to provide free advertising - but then I realized that I had already done it.  Hahaha.  Truly ~ I do not mind a bit that they contacted me and truly I am most happy to say I LOVE the Switched on Schoolhouse and Lifepac that we are using this year.  I will happily include a link to their site on my blog and hope you'll give them a look.

 

Since I'm sending you to see what they have, I think it is only fair that I should share our experience with their products ~

 

We are using the History (sixth grade) Lifepac along with the Switched On Schoolhouse computer program.  I was not familiar with either program when I purchased them.  I purchased the Lifepac first.  After looking it over, I wasn't happy with its simplicity.  I knew that one pass through a lesson and filling in the blanks would not be enough for my fellas to retain important information.  I needed something that would reach out and grab them.  SO....I thought I would order a computer history program to see if it would capture their attention a little better.  I was pleasantly surprised to find that the SOS History is the EXACT same program as the History Lifepac.   We use the Lifepac as a supplement to reinforce the computer program - and so far, the boys are doing a GREAT job.

 

Maybe AO would consider selling a combination pack.  *grin*   *hint hint hint*  Or maybe they already do, and I just haven't figured it out yet???

About Me

We are fairly new to the home school experience (now in our third year). After too many years of fighting the system and pleading with the schools to challenge my kids, I finally took the bull by the horns and purposed to wrestle the matter firmly into my own hands. Before we set out on this adventure, I imagined all the things I would be able to teach my boys. What I never considered, but have now discovered (much to my delight), is what my boys would teach me! After just two years on the road to 'retraining our minds', we have shared a growing fulfillment that I WISH I had been smart enough (and brave enough) to experience from the beginning of their academic 'career'. As we continue on our journey, I hope our ups and downs will inspire and encourage you.
