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!

  1. 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

Relationships and Redemption

In every friendship or relationship, there is a common hope that they will grow and flourish. There is something inside of us that longs for a 'happy every after' story. We dream about it and work to make that happen. But in reality, relationships are a challenge. The bridging of values, lifestyles, interests and sacrificing for another are simply hard things to do! No matter how much we dream of the perfect fit, some relationships will not endure the stress.  When differences appear and tensions arise, prayer can change situations, attitudes and ourselves. For the Christian, we know God can transform, change, heal. We cannot change others, but prayer opens us the door for God to step in and answer. God desires transformation, but does not demand it. The gift of free will allows us to choose to say Yes or No to Him.  Romans 12:18 says, “If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all.” Take notice of the first two words: “If possible …” This implies that some

A Blank Page - A Great Way to Fill It

A blank page - that is the first view of a new blog post. It has been a while since I have faced the blank page of my little blog! A blank page can bring a variety of emotions - emptiness, anxiety, pressure to perform or emotions such as inspiration, encouragement or simply bursting to share something. But there is always something fresh and exciting about the blank page of a New Year. Happy 2023! This is always a time in my life where inspiration and plans are formed and ready to be implemented for greater change. Aspirations may start strong, but alone do not make a difference. It takes consistency to create change. The changing or adding small habits is a key to great changes. A habit that has been beneficial in my life for many years is rising early. It began when the children were small and was the only pocket of time I had to myself. Through the years, mornings have become my favorite time of the day. Now that my husband and I are empty nesters, we go to bed early and rise early.
