Two Cool Websites for Science and Geography

I had never heard of either of these websites until today.  Both of them I found on a homeschool group, on Facebook, that I belong to.

The first one Mystery Science is an awesome Science website.  Normally their curriculum is $99 per year.  But, they are giving away a free year of their curriculum to the first 10,000 respondents.  I got mine, but I was like 9,047 so there are not many left.  Click here, to see if you can get one too.  As far as I can tell there is no catch, and it is completely legitimate. 

The second website, Lizard Point, I know weird name, actually offers more than Geography just click the home button.  But, I want to use it for Geography.  Tomorrow we will be trying it out, for  our Geography lesson.  We are doing China tomorrow, and Netflix has some really cool documentaries on China.  So, China may end up being more than one day so we can watch the whole season.  We will also attempt some Chinese food tomorrow, for dinner.  It never seems to taste as good at home, but we will give it a whirl.

Story Time For Me Review and Giveaway

Do you have a reluctant reader, especially because they are having difficulty learning to read? I think teaching a child to read is harder than any of the other subjects I teach my children. It is easy for them to become frustrated, and even angry. Repetition and review are the two most important aspects of learning to read, I think. That is why I am glad to tell you about Story Time For Me.


Story Time For Me, will teach your child to read through engaging stories, repetition, and highlighting the words as he or she reads along. The books are completely read online, with no books to be left lying around the house. Your child can read along as many times as it takes to learn the words. There are over 50 titles to choose from, and each of my readers that clicks the link above, will get two free books to try it out. Simply click on the send me my two free books link, and follow the prompts. My daughter loved the book about the elephant. The other book I received was for an older child, and my son found the lesson taught to be a good one. The stories were not too long, as to lose their interest either. The pages turn automatically, or you can turn that option off. I won't give away the stories, and plots, I want you to check them out yourself. I found their pricing to be reasonable and fair. You do need Adobe reader for the books to work, so be sure to download it for free if you don't already have it. I hope you will enjoy these two free books as much as my children did. You can also view the video below, for any questions you might have.
