Reading Program Offers Great Holiday Discount


Do you remember my recent review of Samson's Classroom?  Well I have an update and a very special offer from them I just had to share with you all! 

First of all, one of my concerns was about how their game Spelling Scramble was hard to navigate. I just wanted you to know that they have fixed it!  Gess can now play and actually beat the tarantula and therefore enjoys the game a whole lot more.


It's not always easy to find an educational game that kids like and Gess certainly enjoys this one.  It's also very  rare to find one that listens to customer feed back and they have done that here so I wanted you to know that.

The other thing I wanted to share with you was a very special offer they are hosting through the holidays.  It's one you can't help but take them up on!  (If I was not already subscribed I would do this in a heartbeat.)


Between now and December 24, visit www.samsonsclassroom.com and enter the promo code AMAZON12 to purchase a one-year subscription at $15 off (a 50 percent discount on the single-user plan) AND get a $10 amazon.com gift certificate to accompany the subscription!

Samson's Classroom focuses on Sight Words, Spelling and Reading. 


Your kids will love the earning their black belts in spelling and you will know that they are getting some great educational fun at very little cost to you. I was under no obligation to share this with you nor do I get anything if you respond.  It's just that Gess really enjoys Samson's Classroom and I really think it's a great deal so I wanted to tell you about it. I hope you have the chance to take advantage of the offer if you want it!

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 gets neglected for anothe

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
