Online Homeschool Shopping Spree

Yes, I have been reckless this evening and ordered the following educational materials:

You know I always love the…
MATH MANIPULATIVES!

image

- TWO SETS of 8 small geometric solids (for fun, “grab bag” match-up activities and later geometry)

image

- Base Ten (Standard) Flats, Set of 10 (Blue) (for place value)

image 

- Montessori-style number cards (for place value) – I watched a video on the use of the Tens Board and think we can implement something similar that will go well with the rods and other manipulatives we have so far.  I like how in the videos, this teacher always takes out the manipulatives and puts them back one at a time.  This is the awesomely inspiring Montessori repsect for materials… and it makes me wish, for the millionth time since my friend started telling me about her daughter’s Montessori journey, that it suited my slapdash messy style a bit better.  :-( blah.

- TWO 5 x 5 Geoboards, for fun and also later geometry studies

But then, we also deeply needed these…
OTHER EDUCATIONAL TOYS/SUPPLIES:

image

- Montessori-style hammering set – GZ will (hopefully!) love this!  Hammering = cool!

image

- Composers Fandex – to help us with our Charlotte Mason inspired forays into classical music… in a not-too-heavy kind of way…

- Doesn’t every kid need a little DIY skeleton???

image

- TWO Communicator Clearboards:  these are dry- or wet-erasable boards that you slide worksheets into so you can reuse them again and again… saves paper and hopefully not as clumsy as a big whiteboard…

And, of course, what homeschool doesn’t need…
BOOKS!

image image

- Pre-pre-pre-phonics program for GZ!

image image

- Two last books to go with our Living Learning science curriculum.  I am enjoying the Usborne books this curriculum recommends more than I expected.  They look cheesy, but are almost without exception well-done:  light and pleasant to read.

Drat – I just found out that Rainbow has the Plants one… dratty.  Could have saved a bit on shipping.  Should have checked first – live and learn, I guess…

Astonishing what one debit card can accomplish in such a short amount of time!  But now I am thinking I’d better get to bed before I buy anything else…

It's Heart Month: 3 days left to save lives!

Dear Friends & Family: Hi, everybody! Sorry I can’t stop by in person... you're a bit out of my area.  :-) We’re out walking up and down on our street on this beautiful afternoon to raise money for Heart & Stroke.  This cause is important to me (I won't say it's close to my heart , because that would be tacky!).  I hope you'll join me by donating online. Growing up, I watched as every single one of my grandparents' lives were shortened by heart disease and strokes, and my father had a defibrillator that saved his life on more than one occasion.  Heart disease and stroke kill 1 in 3 Canadians and are the #1 killer of women. Please click this link to be redirected to my main page at the Heart & Stroke website: http://tinyurl.com/AtlasHeart Thus ends my personal appeal.  Official information follows.  :-))) ----- Heart disease and stroke is the #1 killer of women - taking more women's lives than all forms of cancer combined. But no one is immune. Th
