 Today I am grateful for...

~time alone with the Lord, Him quietly and gently moving me along,

~His financial provision

~my warm and cozy home, we have enjoyed some wonderful fires in our fireplace this week.

~the laughter and joy in my daughters faces as they diligently seek to memorize His word and are rewarded at Awana's each week.

~an email from my husband, that though he is away, he is thinking of me,

~a new to me book that I am reading "Stepping Heavenward", what a blessing.

~TOS Crew Review-GyMATHetics~

Posted in TOS Crew Reviews

For review I received the following product for free as part of the TOS Crew, for the sole purpose of review. 

Exploracise® Gymathics® DVD

The Award Winning Exploracise Gymathtics program is the Ultimate Brain and Body workout teaching math and healthy lifestyle concepts during a complete 30-minute exercise routine. 

Gymathtics is a fun fitness learning experience that kids will want to do again and again.  The exercise program is great for kids of all ages.  The math facts target the 2nd to 5th grade levels.

The complete 30 minute program includes:

  • Shape Stretches Warm Up: Stretch your mind and body with line, circle, and polygon stretches.
  • Counting Calisthenics: Aerobic movements work your heart as fun counting concepts work your brain.
  • Pattern Power: Growing and repeating pattern exercise combinations challenge minds and strengthen muscles.
  • Well-Being Wind Down: Relaxing stretches cool down the body and open the mind to think about healthy lifestyle choices including the Nice Wave Stretch and Big Dream Stretch

     As creator, Carrie Scheiner's children reached elementary age, she realized that they were spending a lot of time in front of the TV and computer.  She decided to get them moving and incorporate math principles within her exercise for them.

    A few screen shots to give you an idea:

     

     In Our Home:

    Elizabeth LOVES doing this exercise DVD, she begs me at the end of each school day to do it.  Grace likes it too!  The girls have both benefited from the math concepts that are reinforced within the videos.   

    The DVD pictured above costs $24.99 and may be ordered by clicking here.

    ~AVKO Membership~ a TOS Crew Review~

    Posted in TOS Crew Reviews

    As a member of the TOS Crew I received the following product for free to review on my blog.

    For review we received a month trial membership to AVKO.  Best known for their Sequential Spelling curriculum, AVKO has a full line of reading and spelling resources.  Geared highly to the dyslexic learner, AVKO's mission is to teach everyone to read.  Started by Don McCabe in 1974.

      AVKO is a non-profit, 501(C)3 membership organization that focuses on the development and production of materials and especially techniques to teach reading and spelling, handwriting (manuscript and cursive), and keyboarding.  AVKO is dedicated to the teaching everyone how to read and spell, regardless of their mild to moderate learning disabilities, dyslexia, poverty, or opportunity.

    Membership for AVKO is $25.00, to order clickhere.

    The following are the benefits for joining AVKO:

  • Hundreds of dollars worth of FREE e-books (PDF)
  • Access to the Member Only section
  • AVKO Newsletter with freebies, discounts, resources, and promotions
  • Access to Don McCabe's most popular workshop recordings in MP3 format.
  • Supplemental Curriculum Materials including word games, worksheets, activities, and more!
  • Access to the Answer Keys for the Unscramblers and Family Reunion exercises of the Engaging Language Kits
  • My Thoughts: I have spent some time going over the site and it's many resources.  There are a lot of great helps for children with difficulty with reading.  I also am amazed at the amount of support that the membership supplies for those who are using Sequential Spelling.  The membership is a great resource and tool for homeschooling families who are looking for resources for their children that have learning difficulties.  Don McCabe has an encouraging spirit and wants everyone to be the very best reader they can be.
