Learning Workroom CD Review

As a new homeschooling mom, I"m constantly on the lookout for products to enhance my 9 year old's education.  As the home school year goes by, it is becoming apparent that science is one of our least favorite subjects.  The procedure our curriculum calls for is a lot of book reading, then quizzes and reviews over that information.  But, bugs, flowers, insects all seem to run together sometimes! 

The opportunity came to review a Learning Workroom Steps to Scholastic SuccessTM Slide Shows CD and I eagerly grabbed it!  I had not heard of Learning Workroom before but they provide educational CD's which are 'Fun, Educational, and Effective Programs that Help Kids Learn'.  They offer CD's in Math, Language Arts and Science.  Of course I chose the Science CD!
Upon browsing for products on their website, I found out the Science Steps to Scholastic SuccessTM Slide Shows CD was awarded the 2010 Media of the Year Award for Educational Science Media by Creative Child Magazine's Award Program. That boosted my confidence in this product!


The Science CD consists of slide shows that present essential knowledge needed for success in school and on state tests in a fun and interactive format so that students can use the program at home or in the classroom. Each slide show is a powerful and comprehensive teaching and learning tool!

The slide show plays on Microsoft Power Point and is vibrant and eye catching. The information is presented in a fun, exciting and easy to answer format. Here are a few examples of the slides:





My son enjoyed watching the slides and connecting the questions and answers.  He was challenged by the fill in the blanks and loved when he knew the answers.  I loved the fact that he was learning while haivng fun! The movement of the slides kept his attention while filing knowledge into his mind!  These are great educational tools.  You can see where to buy Learning Workroom SOFTWARE for Grade 3 - 8 HERE.   These would make a great gift for children in grades 3-8!  Thank you Learning Workroom for a great product and for saving our science class!

    It does seem like a great learning environment type of thingy! (you can tell I'm having trouble how to describe it). But I think the slide show would hold a student's interest! Glad you had a chance to review it! Good for you for home schooling! Such great benefits derived from it :)

Sometimes We Score, Sometimes We Block

Our family is in the midst of little league soccer season. My youngest son is playing and his enthusiasm is contagious. He is pretty good at the sport, but what makes it so great is that he loves it! He counts the days until the next game or practice. He loves his coach and teammates. He has moved up an age level this year and the players are working more like team, passing to each other and watching out for each other during play. During the last game, my son scored two goals, they were the only goals of the game. In today's game the team scored eight goals. My son came up afterwards to me and said, "I didn't score today, but I blocked". What a powerful truth those words can hold. In life, sometimes we score, sometimes we block. Sometimes we do great things, we excel, we achieve, we meet our goal - we score! There are also times we see the needs of others, sometimes they are sad or hurting, we block their hits. We look out for them so they can score. We...

WFW – Write It On My Heart

This is the covenant I will make with the house of Israel       after that time, declares the Lord.    I will put My laws in their minds       and write them on their hearts.    I will be their God,       and they will be My people.  Hebrews 8:10 On a recent field trip to a museum featuring the days gone by, we sat in an old schoolroom as the teacher introduced us to the quill pen and bottle of ink.  She cautioned us to use extreme caution using the ink and told us that if it got on our skin or clothes, it would not come off. This reminded me of this beautiful promise from Hebrews.  God told His people he would put His law in their minds and write it on their hearts.  This is a covenant which cannot be broken.  He loves us and wants us to know Him through His Word.  As we read more and more of His Word, it becomes w...

Construction, Challenges, Chaos

 Who knew something simple could erupt into something chaotic so quickly? A broken file cabinet forced us to purchase a new one. We found one online, ordered it and it arrived quickly with a do it yourself assembly book, complete with 24 part packages and 18 steps of instructions!  As we unpacked the items and compared with the instruction book, we realized a part was missing. Customer service was called, a replacement part was quickly received. Except, the screws did not fit into the holes on the replacement part. We tried again, received another part, same issue.  Meanwhile, the 24 packages of parts are spread out on my living room floor, customer service does not understand my issue, they asked for photos which were sent and now we are again, waiting for a part.  It seems every project faces the inevitable delay. My work place is undergoing a floor remodel. Upheaval, dust, packing, lots of inconvenience and depending on the work crew's schedule dictate the next fe...
