    It's the time of year where everything is merry and bright but these days, we just want to find some gifts that are sure to be pleasers--but more of the low-tech variety. We've found some great gifts that your children will not only enjoy, but will be ones that offer low-tech, high-engagement...
  2. Toddler & Child
    November 8 is National STEM Day, a day where we celebrate the principles of science, technology, engineering and math shaping our children's world. Here are eight STEM toys we love to help honor the occasion. Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (and don't forget STEAM--the 'A'...
  3. Toddler & Child
    Sometimes finding the right gift for your child can be hard. For parents of children diagnosed as intellectually gifted, it can be hard to find gifts that stimulate their unique brains while also entertaining them. Here are five gifts we think do a great job of both! 1. Code and Go Robot Mouse...
  4. Learning at School
    Hi I need some help and insight. I have a first grader who I from the bottom of my heart believe should be retained this year. His dad agrees (we are divorced), his teacher agrees, he gets extra support in school now and it seems like his extra teachers agree (altho they cannot really admit to...
  5. Learning at Home and Beyond
    I tried for over a year now to teach my elementary school age children U.S. History with the simple use of historical literature but I'm finding that it's lacking and I'm slacking so I think I may need some sort of teacher's guide just so I can keep track of where we are in U.S. History and...
  6. Learning at Home and Beyond
    I was looking for some basic lab supplies and several people sent me to Home Science Tools. Site was good, prices were reasonable … but they have a tab called "Science Curriculum" and all the suggested options support Biblical Creation Science. I am not enthusiastic about giving them my...
  7. Learning at Home and Beyond
    First off, I apologize if I'm posting without having done much research yet, but I do feel a little overwhelmed by the dearth of information I have found and hoped to find some helpful advice from a knowledgable community in order to avoid wasting hours in the wrong direction. The basics are: I...
  8. Learning at Home and Beyond
    Hello, Does anyone know of any website that mainly contains science experiment videos? Where I'm currently living, it's hard to find all the supplies we need for certain experiments, and so I would like to at least show my kids how experiments are done. Thanks!
  9. Learning at Home and Beyond
    There is a similar thread, but approximately 8 years old. Has anyone got experience of both Sonlight and Ambleside? I am using Core B of Sonlight for my 8-year old more secularly, but still like the look of Ambleside Online.

    I would like to find a magazine or news publication (in print preferably) geared towards teens about current events. I thought there was one, but now am just not finding it. Does anyone know of one? Have you read it? If so, what are your thoughts? Amy
  11. Learning at Home and Beyond
    Hi, I am thinking about using a literature course from Oak Meadow this next year. I wouldn't have my dd enroll, but I was toying with the idea of buying their syllabus for the Intro to Literature & Composition course. I would get the other books from the library (the ones I don't already...
  12. Learning at Home and Beyond
    For a wide variety of reasons, I've decided to keep my son in public school through the rest of 6th grade, but I'm very likely to homeschool him next year (and very likely for 8th grade as well, though we'll re-evaluate each year.) Unschooling worked great for my daughter, but my son has a...

    Hi All! I thought I would start a new thread aimed at providing direction and information to anyone who is thinking about purchasing Enki. I would have really benefited from a thread like this when I was trying to find out more about Enki and decide if it was right for my family. Two very...

    I am looking at a few alternative homschooling options and an very interested in Enki. Does anyone know how I can hear what parents with experience using the Enki curriculum think of it? Thank you!

    I am working on a project through a website called Chinavine and they have a self-guided art and culture program, which would be appropriate for older children. Here's the link if anyone is interested: http://chinavine.org/participate/eduvine/

    A lot of you may be familiar with her book, but I wasn't - I just saw this, and it's one of the most amazing things I've ever seen. It's not that it's all new - many of us toss around these ideas, but here's someone who got an idea and ran with it, carrying her son through what could have been a...
  17. Learning at Home and Beyond
    Where do I start? Well, my boys are currently in grade 1 and Kindergarten. We are living in the province of Quebec, CA this year, but will likely be moving back home (Kansas) this summer. My oldest (age 7 1/2; grade 1) has been formally diagnosed with Severe-Profound Dyslexia and Dysgraphia. I...
