Homeschool Organization A Back to School Basket Worth Swooning Over @ Tinas Dynamic Homeschool Plus

A tisket, a tasket a back to homeschool basket.

I just love that nursery rhyme and I especially love hosting this giveaway for the third year in a roll.

This year I have a homeschool organization basket giveaway filled with some of my favorite things that I swoon over.

Homeschool Organization Giveaway @ Tina's Dynamic Homeschool Plus

I have all kinds of fun organizing tools in it.

From bins to a basket, from pins to pens, from zippers to hanging storage, I had fun picking out all kinds of fun things to help you get inspired.

It’s just overflowing with “organizational-ness”.

But that is not all!

I am also including my new Glam It Up package homeschool planner. {Note if you bought this already, I will refund you your money.}

Glam It Up Homeschool Planner @ Tina's Dynamic Homeschool PlannerThen I love when my sponsors go the extra mile and love homeschoolers too.

Plus I think geography goes hand in hand with being organized.

Like Maggie Hogan says of Bright Ideas Press, “Geography—you’d be lost without it!”.

Something for the Big Kids

So one item they are including in my giveaway is the geography program, North Star Geography, (the digital download so the boys can read on their devices.)

I love using it for the boys because it emphasizes hands-on learning even at the junior high and high school level.

I am a stickler about keeping learning hands-on at the upper grades when most curriculum providers move into an all textbook approach.

So Bright Ideas Press is giving away a digital download of North Star Geography.

North Star Geography and WonderMaps Bundle

Oh, but that is not all.

Something for the Little Kids

They are also giving away in this basket the Ultimate Geography and Timeline Guide. (Paperback, 352 pages K-12).

Note: Since this is a physical book, it will be shipped to you.
From their website: This one source book will provide you with everything you need to competently teach geography from kindergarten through graduation. Part lesson-plans, part idea book, part unit study and part inspiration!

Are you ready?

 Easy Rules – They always are!

Begins: Monday, August 17, 2015.  Ends: Friday August 21, 2015 @ 8:00 a.m. CST

Ancient Egypt Homeschool Unit Study – Hands-on and FUN!

May 6, 2015 | 1 Comment
This post may contain affiliate links. For more information, please see my full disclosure policy.

Studying Ancient Egypt history has been anything but boring for us because I have been determined to keep it hands-on.

I have to admit though it is not always easy.

When I find homeschool history programs like Project Passport: Ancient Egypt from Home School in the Woods that fits what I think history should look like, I am always delighted to share about it.

Your kids will love this Hands-on Ancient Egypt Unit Study at Tina's Dynamic Homeschool Plus

I was given a free copy of Project Passport: Ancient Egypt and I was paid for my time. Compensated for my time does not mean paid off.  ALL opinions are my own and for sure I will always tell you what is on my mind. Your experience may vary. When I do accept a review it’s because I am excited to tell you about it. Read my full disclosure here.

Hands-on Homeschool Ancient Egypt History

Though we are history lovers in our home, I know that teaching Ancient Egypt history can be quite boring if you don’t find the right resource.

Passport Project Ancient Egypt Interactive and Hands-on Unit Study @ Tina's Dynamic Homeschool Plus

Using Project Passport: Ancient Egypt from Home School in the Woods over the past few weeks has been by far the best curriculum we have used for studying about Ancient Egypt.

Look at some of these things that makes us swoon over this curriculum.

  • Hands-on activities like mapping Upper and Lower Egypt, creating post cards and preparing a newspaper and recipes.
  • It means a lot to me to have high quality clip art and not babyish looking quality printables for middle school kids.  The printables are high quality and are all labeled so that you can match them to the correct projects.
  • There are a variety of activities to choose from to suit any learning style.  Tiny is my strongest auditory learner of all of my boys and he really was engaged by the beautiful sounding Mp3s like Touring Down the Nile, Interview with an Embalmer and Building a Pyramid.  I haven’t really used the curriculum the way they suggested by picking and choosing.  We tried to cram it all in because each project sounded as fun as the next one. We just had to taste a bit of everything. Along with creating minibooks, we created a passport, created a luggage folder (so cute), a travel itinerary, prepared the scrapbook of sights and snapshots of moments in history (timeline).
  • It’s all laid out Stop by Stop. Even the text you need to read for each lesson is included. This makes it easy to pick up and go when you are short on time.
  • The teacher’s keys are very helpful and Tiny was able to check his work on his own. I love that part.
  • I REALLY appreciate a scope and sequence being provided so that I can plan or see what will be covered. I have to create objectives and lesson plan and the teacher in me finds this part extremely helpful.
Passport Project Ancient Egypt Interactive and Hands-on Unit Study @ Tina's Dynamic Homeschool Plus

Look at some of these things that you will want to know before you use Project Passport: Ancient Egypt.

  • Details are important to history when you want to analyze them.  Topics are covered with an eye for details and not broad strokes.  If you want details, then it’s a great fit.
  • It requires a good amount of time for start up because you will want to take time reading through all the directions for both laying out the projects and how to print them.  The payoff is rewarding but don’t look at speeding through the set up process.  This is a savor the time curriculum.
  • Like high quality printables should be, you will want to use high quality materials like cardstock and color printables.  You can print gray scale too and have the option to color. I think it’s always an advantage to have both options of coloring or gray scale printing though.  Because this curriculum is sold by CD or downloads, your printer will be busy.
  • Though I thrive in organization, having four sub-folders to navigate between might seem overwhelming.  It took me a few minutes to figure out that the Itineraries folder in the PDFs sub-folder was the place that I needed to visit at each Stop.  It has the instructions for the activities for each stop.  There are a total 25 Stops.
  • It is important to remember that the printables cannot be shrunk, which a lot of printers do. If you do this, like the instructions specifically mentions, it throws off all the printables. An important detail that is easy to forget when you start printing at each Stop. Avoid precious ink and high quality paper by minding the details on each page.

Like a comprehensive unit study should be, you will want to let go of whatever else you are studying about so that your children can enjoy the creative writing, arts and geography weaved throughout each Stop.

Passport Project Ancient Egypt Interactive and Hands-on Unit Study @ Tina's Dynamic Homeschool Plus

Tiny is just about out of the dress up stage but he fondly remembers our hands-on activities with Ancient Egypt  (fun with cartouche and Lego pyramid) as we have used Home School in the Woods products through the years.

With this unit study, my focus was on reading the content and listening to the MP3s to prepare him for high school.

Of course, doing as many of the other hands-on activities that we could cram in is also my objective.

Ancient Egypt Unit Study 8 @ Tina's Dynamic Homeschool Plus

Because I couldn’t wait to share with you about how this unit study sparks a love for learning about Ancient Egypt and because of my love for pictures too, look at my first post Ancient Egypt and look at my second one Ancient Egypt Unit Study Part 2.

I have used many laid out unit studies. 

Too, you know I have created my own lapbook printables because it has been hard to find history curriculum that has all the things I demand, which are detailed content, pristine clip art, high quality printables, an overflowing amount of hands-on activities and that can be used with multiple ages.

Project Passport: Ancient Egypt receives my highest praise and I can’t wait to grab the other projects in this series.

Thank You Home School in the Woods for the obvious time, care and detail that went into this curriculum. I am proud to be a reviewer of such an amazing product.

The Value of Learning How to Type in Education & Psssst! A Little Something For You – A Giveaway

March 31, 2014 | 67 Comments
This post may contain affiliate links. For more information, please see my full disclosure policy.

This Giveaway is now closed! Thanks for stopping by! Guess what? I plan on doing another giveaway for this wonderful typing program in the summer right before back to school.  Be sure you are following me to know about it. The winners are listed at the bottom of this post after I draw them.

Learning how to type was something I valued learning in high school.  Dare I mention that the typewriter I learned to type on was even older than an IBM Selectric typewriter, which is dinosaur old by today’s fast changing standards.  It had one of those moving carriages and weird me loved looking up at the end of a sentence as I pushed the carriage return back to the left.

Though moving carriages and the more advanced sphere like ball, which replaced moving carriages are both things of the past, the skill of touch typing is alive and thriving.

How Did You Learn To Type?

Because typing is a necessity in this fast changing world of technology and a life long skill that I know my kids will use, I have been searching for a typing program that fits my standard.  It has not been easy.  So I was thrilled to receive Ultimate Typing and to use it with both of my sons these past few months.

(I received Ultimate Typing free in exchange for my honest opinion.  All opinions I have expressed are my own or those of my kids.  And for sure I will tell you what is on my mind. Click here if you want a full disclosure.)

touch typing in education-1

Oh sure there are some free programs and other typing programs I used when the kids were little that taught them some light typing.  But now that they are older, I have been looking for a solid program that goes beyond just fun.

Look at my list of what I think a well-rounded learn how to type program should include:

  • Tutorials should be state of the art.  With the technology we have today, my interactive learners like video teaching and the videos should be high quality and engaging.  Boring lessons on a blank page do not do it for us.  I mean this is typing right? So I need it a bit more lively;
  • My older kids should be able to do it independently;
  • Don’t penalize me because I have a large family or want to use it with multiple children.  Even if I had one child, I may want to use the program for myself or brush up on my skills without worrying that I am breaking copyright laws.  Complicated pricing for multiple users is a big turnoff for me;
  • It should have incremental teaching tips;
  • It needs to educate my boys on ergonomics because when sitting for a long time, it is important to take care of their hands, wrists and back.  I had a test in high school on the importance of posture and its affect on the body.  Of course this was because I was a serious typist typing 130 words a minute in my prime, but its important that my boys know how to correct back or hand problems if they have them;
  • Because my boys are not preschoolers or kindergarteners, I want a tracking system that I can use for each child to chart their progress, which is not babyish;
  • I want it meaty enough so that I can count it as a high school credit elective for Mr. Awesome;
  • I want it to have easy to read text with bright and clear pictures; and
  • And for both age groups, I want lots of games and ways to make it fun.

I got all of this and so much more as we used Ultimate Typing over the past few months.  At first I was hesitant about accepting the curriculum for review because of the lack of well, glamour, in previous programs I have used.  Don’t get me wrong, I didn’t just want something that is state of the art with high quality graphics that is pretty to look at, but it had to teach typing in a way that is not boring.

After I unwrapped Ultimate Typing, I instantly saw the superior quality.  There is just no comparison to other programs I have used over the years and that includes comparing what you get for the price too.

learn how to type ultimate typing 1 learn how to type ultimate typing 2
learn how to type ultimate typing 3 learn how to type ultimate typing 4

Ultimate Typing has a variety of games and exercises for every age learner, which is one fact that I really love.  Also though, a high quality video precedes the lesson to explain what to do and what you will cover.  Watch the high quality tutorial and begin your lesson.  The boys don’t need me standing there.

The boys hunted and pecked with free programs when they were young, but wanting to seriously learn how to type so that it is a life-long skill requires a program where you actually learn how to type.  I am glad we have used free things over the years as it strengthened their finger skills.  But teaching my last two boys how to type shouldn’t take as long as it did with Mr. Senior 2013 because of not having an actual typing program instead of just playing games.

Bored and Board

There is no substitute for old fashion drill, repetition and practice when learning how to type.  So I certainly don’t envy the company that can make tutoring that skill a lively one and Ultimate Typing has done just that.

learning how to typeThere is even practices for dictation and the first one was A Tale of Two Cities. learning how to type
Love the fact that even though my sons have not got there yet, the advanced lesson topics include vowels and diphthongs, common phrases and prefixes and suffixes to name a few.
learning how to type when there is a mistake learning how to type

Educators know that the value of typing is the ability to be able to articulate and convey ideas without being hampered by fine motor skills.

Though I feel that cursive handwriting will always be the hallmark of a well-educated child, learning how to type is essential today.  Communicating ideas through typing allows any level of writer to focus on his overflowing ideas instead of formation of letters.

Whatever the complexities about keyboards too, most young children start learning quickly on them and their passion to express their ideas needs to be nurtured.

learn how to type ultimate typing 8

Ultimate Typing touts several honors and recognition and rightly so.  I too am proud to partner with Ultimate Typing because I want to use a first-rate typing software in my homeschool.

There is so much more to Ultimate Typing that you will want to visit Ultimate Typing’s site to take it all in.

One more unique feature though I have to tell you about and that is after completing this program a certificate is issued to you stating that you have successfully completed this comprehensive course.   Knowing that Mr. Awesome will have this skill to add to his high school diploma just makes his future opportunities for employment a bit more aggressive.

learn how to type typing certificate

Who knows maybe the Mr. who refuses to give up his hunt and peck style will give Ultimate Typing a try also.

If I had to change one thing about it, I would change the name of a few of the games.  Some of the games like beat the monster says to type in the magic spells and another one is titled ghosts.  Again, a program of this caliber and high quality doesn’t need to use those title names.  Titles like solve using your detective skills or mystery type games would be just as appealing to learners.  Though there are plenty of other games to choose from, I did want you to know that.

Overall, I am delighted to partner with Ultimate Typing and to tell you about them because they have been committed to not only make learning to type educational, but to make it entertaining.

Ultimate Typing is a program that your family grows into and never outgrows.

Guess what? The folks at Ultimate Typing love giveaways and love educators too. So I will be giving away 2 programs.

Things have been entirely too serious around here as I have been in a GO-GO mood pitching out junk house items and boxing up things.  Let’s have some fun today because I want to tell you about Currclick’s Teachable Moments Calendar.

Have you seen it? If not, you’re missing out on some great help when planning your unit studies or just adding some fun to your school.

{Click on the graphic to go to that page.}

When you sign up you will receive a newsletter .pdf every month with some sweet resources that apply to that month.  Some resources are free, others are not.  The calendar helps you plan because it includes resources for notable days.  For example, I already grabbed the freebie for Attila the Hun when I went to Currclick’s facebook page.  You have to read the newsletter to be reminded about the freebie each month.  There are a few more I am eyeballing because they help when planning my unit studies.  I have been looking over the resources for the French and Indian War too because they go with my free lapbook on the French and Indian War.

Guess what? I love when my sponsors luv you and today Currclick wants to give away (1) Gift Certificate for $20.00 to one of my readers!  Can you use it?
