The purpose of the game is to allow the learner to practice the multiplication or division facts depending on which game is being played.  We played the multiplication game to make it easier for us to learn how to play Sunya since she is stronger in multiplication. 

My daughters are fans of recording themselves.  They often film the strangest things and enjoy watching the playback over and over again.  Recently, we were provided the opportunity to review Stopmotion Explosion Animation Kit. Due to the girls’ love of videography, I though this review would be a nice fit for them and would add a dose of fun to our home school.

The Fifth Grade Literature Set from Memoria Press includes three student study guides and the corresponding teacher guides for each book.  The three novels are The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, Heidi, and Lassie Come-Home.  My daughters have little experience reading books which are classified as classic literature by most lists although we have listened to the first three books of The Chronicles of Narnia.  Since The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe was a recent read neither of my daughters selected it to be read with the study.  My oldest daughter chose Heidi while my youngest daughter chose Lassie Come-Home.

It wasn’t until I was an adult did I fully understand the meaning of Easter.  As a child, I felt so lost when it came to religious holidays.  I remember the traditions, but the meaning was lost on me.  As the girls continued to get older, my desire to know more about the faith in which I followed grew more and more and it continues to grow.  When we studied John in 2011, it was like my eyes were opened and everything had new meaning.
