Continuing on with our travel theme, this week’s Blogging Through the Alphabet installment is about Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area. Located just to the west of Las Vegas, is a Bureau of Land Management property so is included in our America the Beautiful pass along with the National Parks and National Historic Sites. We like to take advantage of…
As the weather turns warmer (well mostly, there was snow here last week) we have been spending our afternoons checking out Jump In, 2nd Edition from Writing with Sharon Watson. I have to say, our EJ is not an avid writer. He loves coming up with imaginative ideas but when it comes to putting pencil to paper, we are constantly on…

Supercharged Science is a unique science program created by Cal-Poly graduate Aurora Lipper. Aurora is not only a master science teacher but also a mother of four so she really understands…
Continuing on our travels through the alphabet my daughter suggested that rather than writing about my much loved New Orleans I add some Disney to my list and choose New Orleans Square at Disneyland instead. Never one to refuse to look through our Disney vacation photos I decided to go with her idea and share a bit about what makes…
We have been reviewing Maths Invaders Online, from EdAlive for the past month or so. This program reminds me of the old space invaders game but has the added benefit of having your child answer math questions in order to defeat the aliens. We also received Typing Tournament Online to have a look at. EdAlive is an Australian company that creates many…
