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...

Paths of Prayer

Today, I'm joining up with Five Minute Friday, a fun writing opportunity to connect and share a quick thought on this week's theme "Path". For many years, when coming across a Scripture about 'paths', it turned into a prayer and desire to be led down God's open paths. Through the years of life which included, marriage, keeping a home, job, raising children and as they began to explore their own paths, seeking God and His paths became a vital part of life and prayer.  As God's Word reveals God's goodness and His ways, I want to be walking - living a lifestyle on the paths that He leads.  Some of my favorite 'path' verses include: Proverbs 4:18 "But the path of the just is like the shining sun, That shines ever brighter unto the perfect day."   Psalm 25:4,  "Show me your ways, LORD, teach me your paths,"  Proverbs 3:5-6: "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding; in all your way...

Word-Filled Wednesday

I love participating in Word Filled Wednesday . This is hosted over at 160 acrewoods and is designed to share God's Word with verse and picture. Go over and take a peek - you will be blessed! The verse I chose for today is one of my favorite verses. A while back during an intense trial of watching a loved one struggle with addiction - ready to lose everything over the addiction, I read this verse and it spoke to my heart clearly. Without God - there is no hope, the things of this world will leave you empty and void. Chasing after the things of the world is like chasing the wind, you just can't grasp it. But in God there is hope. Even though the trial may be tough and challenging, God is hope and He will fill you with peace and joy as you believe in Him and you will abound in hope. May your day be blessed and filled with HOPE!
