Gymathtics (A Review)


Carrie Scheiner, the founder of Exploramania and creator of this fun educational workout DVD has definitely thought outside of the box and combined exercise and math in a way I would not have thought of. I have been given the opportunity to use and review this product, Gymathtics, free of charge.
This DVD could be a simple way to get an exercise routine incorporated into your daily schedule but it has the potential of being so much more!
The whole family can benefit from this exercise experience!
It's a refresher course on math terms for the parent or older student, a review tool for your
2nd-5th grader, an introduction to math terms for the K-1 student and plain old fun for the youngest in your home/class.
The program includes 'shape' stretches, counting calisthenics, exercises that combine patterns and a well-being wind down. This product incorporates multi-sensory learning techniques to meet the different learning styles of each child. The first series, Exploracise®, combines exercise and education using auditory, visual, and kinesthetic senses. You can view photo excerpts here.
The Award Winning Exploracise Gymathtics program is the Ultimate Brain and Body workout teaching math and healthy lifestyle concepts during a complete 30-minute exercise routine. Gymathtics is an enjoyable fitness learning experience that students and parents will want to use again and again.
Gymathtics can be purchased for $24.99 here and this price includes shipping! I use this DVD on our 'rainy days' to help channel all that energy that 3 boys aged 6 and under have!!!
We have enjoyed this program and believe you will too!
Make sure when you visit the Exporamania site that you sign up on their email list for special offers and news about their award winning products.
***One extra aspect about this product that I particularly appreciated is that the participants are dressed modestly!***

Guardian Angel Pulblishing (2 e-books and a review)



I received the following 2 e-books, free of charge from Guardian Angel Publishing to read and review: Andy and Spirit Go To The Fair, and Hamster-Holidays.



Andy & Spirit Go to the Fair is a sweet, charming storybook that is part of a series of books which take us into the lives of a handicapped boy Andy and his horse Spirit. Andy is part of a
4-H club who this time has gone to the fair to participate in a horsemanship competition.
The pair become an inspiration to each other as they face the challenge together of being different than others as they compete in the ring.
To a creative homeschooling mom this book introduces many subjects: being handicapped or having a special need, horses, 4-H clubs, performing in front of a crowd and of course that excitement children experience when attending their local county fair. This book by Mary Jean Kelso, provides some excellent links to several of these topics and includes 10 illustrations, 2100 words and 24 pages.
There are several ways of purchasing this delightful book here:
PDF eBook DOWNLOAD $5.00
eBook CD $9.95+$5.95 S&H
PRINT Book $10.95+$6.95 S&H
DVD Book Video COMING SOON! $9.95 + $5.95 S&H






This book, Hamster Holidays, is a treasure you should definitely check out. If you have started on the grammar road of nouns and adjectives and need a fun way to review or maybe want to introduce the two in a way that immediately engages your child's interest, then go get this book!
Through a series of cute poems that journey through the months of the year nouns are in blue and adjectives are in red.
Several supplemental pages at the end include scrambled words, match-up and crossword puzzles—plus much more.
I recently introduced my son Redd to both of these concepts and look forward to using
Hamster Holidays in further teaching!
This book may be purchased in several ways here:
PDF eBook DOWNLOAD $5.00
eBook CD $9.95 + $5.95 S&H
PRINT Book $10.95 + $6.95 S&H

Guardian Angel Publishing has a delightful site that includes FREEBIES,
an i kids play app that can be loaded on your ipod or iphone for those office waiting times,
Littlest Angel books (e-picture books that feature your child's name),
and a nice list of faith-based books.
Any questions you might have can be sent to this email:
customer_service@guardianangelpublishing.com

I have bookmarked this page as another helpful tool to use on my homeschool journey!

Virginia Soaps & Scents (A Review)


Virginia Soaps & Scents, owned by Roy and Richelle Spargur out of Suffolk, Virginia sent some of their products to me awhile back to try out for free and review! What a pleasure and treat for a mom in her 3rd trimester!
I personally received 3 soap bars, 1 shampoo bar and a sample size of their best-selling Laundry Soap Kit. You are probably wondering what does this company have to do with The Old Schoolhouse Magazine and homeschooling! Well, the story behind these delightful products is a true testimony of the scripture, "All things work together for good to them that love God and are called according to His purposes". I'll share just a bit of their story before getting into the products.
About three years ago, this couple lost their youngest granddaughter in a tragic accident. After many months of grieving, the family began a unit study on Colonial Life in Virginia which included a 'one-time' soap-making project. They began to laugh and have fun again as a family and six months later, Virginia Soaps & Scents was born! They introduced the soaps at a homeschool convention and it took off from there!
What makes this company special? Well, their Handcrafted Olive Oil Soap uses all natural ingredients with no added chemicals. You get plenty of fluffy lather from the generous amount of the ingredient coconut oil. There are several purchase options: $4.50 for 1, 3 for $12, Buy 4 Get 1 free or 10 for $35.
Their Shampoo Bar, which I am totally enjoying is a 5.5 oz bar that gives about the same amount of shampoos as a 32 oz. bottle and has a fresh clean scent with no added colors! These 5.5 oz bars sell 1 for $5.50 or 2 for $10. Many customers have said they are sold for life! You have a choice of three different scents or unscented. Read more here.
Those of you interested in saving money in the dirty clothes department will love the
Laundry Soap Kit. It makes two gallons and can be used immediately. It works with the ancient washing machines up to the newest front loaders and HE machines! Costs per wash is between 4 to 7 cents!! An added bonus is they put no coconut oil in this product which eliminates suds that are difficult to rinse out and can help those that have sensitive skin issues. 1 kit costs $4.95 or 6 for $25. For those who want a greener, gentler laundry soap this is an awesome price!
Virginia Soaps & Scents has branched out into many different artistic areas that would be worth your while to check out especially as we get into the Christmas season such as a Christmas page, Shaving Soaps, Lip Balm and much more.
For questions e-mail the family at richelle@virginiasoapsandscents.com or give them a call them at 757-986-3377.

abc teach website (a review)

A little over a month ago I received a 1 month free membership from abcteach in order to review their website. I loved this site so much, I signed up for a year before my free month expired!!

I discovered abcteach probably at least a year ago and have used their free section from time to time but the full membersip was totally worth taking a look at.

Are you on a budget, need supplemental worksheets, or need to create your own worksheets to help your child study for a test? Then abcteach has what you need. My daughter recently entered the fifth grade and the amount of information she needed to know for tests drastically increased. So, what we do on the weekends is use abctools to create crossword puzzles, word searches, and extra math worksheets for her to use doing the week as a fun way to have consistent studying.

My son loves math and even though he is a first-grader he is already multiplying, dividing and starting to learn fractions. He speeds through worksheets and abcteach has helped me keep him supplied with plenty of extra drill sheets, dot-to-dots that reinforce counting by 2's, 3's, etc. and worksheets that help fill in the gap with extra math skills such as time and money.

I am also using the site to help with a homeschool music class that a friend and I are teaching. The site provides us with plenty of music coloring pages and more!

The teaching extras section features templates for flashcards, badges, calendars and more (too many to list here!).

For non-members there are thousands of worksheets available, for members there are over 35,000! You will find materials on every subject from pre-k to high school level.

ABC teach is a great tool for parents, educators, babysitters, daycare providers, etc. There are several options available in purchasing this product:
* $40 per user per year / $70 two years — individuals/groups 2-9
* $35 per user per year — groups of 10-29
* $25 per user per year — groups of 30 or more. **SUPER SITE LICENSE pricing available for groups of 100 or more. Contact support@abcteach.com for details.
