TOS Homeschool Crew

Photobucket

I am excited to announce that I am now an official member of the TOS Homeschool Crew! TOS stands for The Old Schoolhouse and is a homeschooling company that offers homeschoolers a variety of resources and encouragement. As a member of the Crew I will get opportunities to try many different homeschool resources such as curriculum, games, and books at no cost to me. I will then share with you, my readers, what I thought of the products I used by posting my review here on my blog. While I am not getting paid for the review, I am able to sample, and sometimes keep, the products I review for free. So I want to be upfront about that.

Up until now (except for the one TOS review I did to apply for this position - TOS Review: The Curiosity Files) everything I have posted about has been things I have personally researched and used. I only post about things that are helpful homeschooling my daughter who has Down Syndrome. My blog will still be just that. Other than posts that begin with "TOS Review", you can know that I personally researched, purchased and liked the product or idea I am posting about. None of that will ever change.

However, that does not mean that my TOS Review posts will be that much different. It was obvious with my first TOS Review post, that The Curiosity Files unit study was very adaptable and helpful for Gess. See, that's the best part. Now that I am on the crew I will simply have access to more great products that I might not have otherwise known were available. The best part is that once I find them and use them, I get to share them with all of you!

Of course I am not silly enough to believe that every curriculum or product I am asked to review will be perfect for a child with special needs. That's alright though, because I will still be able to share what audience I think it will benefit. Most families have more than one child and will hopefully find something useful out of what I post!

I am very anxious to start the year. I can not wait to begin working with the products that the TOS Homeschool Crew will get to review! They have some really great ones coming in this year and I just know that Gess and I will have lots of fun with them! I hope you enjoy my posts and benefit from it as well. So be watching for posts that have the TOS Homeschool Crew banner on them to see what new things we will find this year!

Printable Family Chore Chart

You know chore charts are not just for children.  As I have been struggling trying to keep the house work up among all my summer activities, homeschooling projects, exercise, blogging, church activities and other every day life events I realized that I needed a hand.  Since Gess is getting older and taking on more responsibility I though it was a good time to put some order into her routine of helping.  Then Chelsie gave me a great idea that she uses.  By breaking up my weekly chores into daily tasks I don't have to give up an entire day to nothing but cleaning house! Taking her idea and breaking up the daily chores I came up with the following list.  There is one for each of us and an extra one that goes beyond the standard chores.  It's the stuff we do at least once a week to keep our house neat and clean.  What I love about it is that if something happens on that one day I had set aside to clean the house, it doesn't mean that my entire house get...

Computer Time: Starfall.com

One thing my daughter loves to do (like most other kids) is spend time on the computer. One of our favorite websites is Starfall.com . It is a free educational sight that not only teaches reading but the kids really seem to enjoy it. It is geared towards preschool to 2nd grade and is a great tool for learning early reading skills. It helps to teach phonics but can also enhance sight vocabulary as well. The ABC's section is for early reading and it lets you explore your letters and their phonetic sounds. There are great songs for each of the short vowel sounds and for each consonant there is a short activity which explores the letters sound and teaches you some words that start with each letter. Once children know their letters (and even before that) there are stories that you can read. If you click on each word it not only says the word for you, but it sounds it out phonetically, teaching you to do the same. There are lots of other fun activities too. I think it is one of the ...

Learning the 10 Commandments

Image
As Gess is getting older we thought it was important to stress having some personal devotion time. I think she needs to know that she can pray and study God's Word anytime she chooses. We always begin her day learning something in the Bible together. Then I have her write and meditate on the portion of Scripture that was the focus for the day. Since she was doing some written work each day we thought it would be good to have a place to keep it all together so that could look it over later and remember what she has studied so far. So we made made her a notebook and titled it My Devotional and keep it with her bible. One of our early lessons this year was to memorize the 10 commandments. I recalled that Living Waters had a great resource for helping kids to memorize them so I went to their site and downloaded their 10 Commandments Learning Aids . They use these images to help tie the number to the actual commandment. They have a full presentation but here is the sheet with...
