I love using technology to supplement my kid’s education. We live in an age of technology so I think it’s great that our children have so many opportunities to use technology in their everyday lives. We recently tried out the new VTech Innotab Max and my boys love it. There are so many great features…
We love Blue Orange Games, Jude regularly asks to play Spot It. So we were pretty excited to test out the newest Blue Orange Game, Wuzzits. Wuzzits is a great game for kids ages 6 and up. Jude(6) loves this game because it requires keen visual perception, strategy and basic arithmetic and of course because…
We’re about halfway through our 1st week of homeschool. I’m still waiting on some of our curriculum that I ordered to arrive, in the meantime I’m improvising. Everyday I have Jude work on reading, writing, spelling, and math then we just sort of wing it. I’m hoping to get connected with a local Classical Conversations…
