Mail's Here, Mail's Here...
Yesterday and today we saw our first shipments of homeschool supplies come in. Yesterday we received all of our IEW supplies. I am very impressed with the quality of the binders and CD cases. The information looks fabulous, but I am very glad for the DVD's.
Today we received our science curriculum from Creation Sensation. We ordered the Aplologia Elementary Astronomy and the science kit from CS. The text book is amazing! I can see the girls using this as a resource for years to come...not just use it this year then be done with it. The kit is wonderful as well! There is NO way I would bother to hunt all that stuff down on my own. They even included the tootsie rolls for one experiment !
We also received Beautiful Stories From Shakespeare by E. Nesbit. It is an older book, but in wonderful condition...and I am so happy to have it. I am also looking forward to getting Tales From Shakespeare by Charles and Mary Lamb. I think Chaney will love both of these books. I plan on going through these two books with all the girls this year, then study actual plays with Chaney next year.
I can't wait for the mail tomorrow :)
Finally, back before Christmas in this post I mentioned Homeschool Radio Shows. My girls enjoy listening to these each week and can not wait for the next weeks radio show to be sent out. Last the HRS email had a link to a brand new resource, You Need a Story. Each week the Greens will send out a link to download a new story read by Mr. Green. Mr. Green has a wonderful reading voice and in the first story we received (Rikki-Tikki-Tavi), my girls were totally drawn in. The stories will come out every week on Tuesday. I have already downloaded Rikki-Tikki-Tavi to Riley and Kennedy's FP3 player, and they have listened to it about everyday. If the future stories are even close to being as thrilling as the first one, I think your family will be as happy with these as mine!

"The students becomes the master" LOL
Thanks for the info on Creation Sensation! I had never heard of them - I went right over there and ordered the General Science kit for M...maybe this way he'll actually be able to do all those experiments now!
He always says, "Mom, I need xxx for my experiment." Then I say, "I don't have that; we'll get that next time we go out, just skip that part today." Well, of course we never get back to it!
