Blue Ribbon Winners 2016 : Homeschool Review Crew

11/19/2016

 
Look what I received this week:
I'd like to invite you to continue on with the Homeschool Review Crew in 2017! 
Isn't that great?   Last year I did 23 reviews for the crew most of which I liked, but not all that I continued to use.

I thought you might like to know which reviews we are continuing to use.
Picture

Foreign Languages

Picture
You will find my review for Middlebury Interactive Languages here.  My son continues to be interested in learning German.   He is also using Duolingo, both programs teach German but have a different method of teaching it.

I am not convinced that we will finish the course before our time runs out and we've had vacation and some health issues, meaning we've missed a few weeks and therefore will need to do some back tracking.

Science

Picture
We have a science program that we like, but my lad has this interest in astronomy, enough so that he was looking information up on youtube.  :)   Therefore it's a natural thing that Apologia Astronomy is a favourite in this household.  Experiments and information, is there anything more a boy could ask for in a science program?

Bible.

Picture
For bible we had two reviews that we did, Grapevine which exercises my son's creative talents, and Veritas Press.   Although we LOVE both products, the one my son ASKS to do is Veritas Press.  this make it the winner in this category.   I will often come in from chores and find him already hard at work.

Games

Picture
We reviewed two games this year.
Sunya (a math game) and Flipstir (a logic game).

Of the two my son loved Sunya and often plays it with his gramma. He finds it an easy game to play, and likes the gramma enjoys playing it with him.  Between Sunya and Chess, math is covered when he goes and visits (and needs to do some school too).

I, on the other hand, had a distinct fondness for Flipstir.   I remember getting frustrated by it and having my international student come along and sort it out and even give a hint about solving it.   It was an excellent smile for us.

Picture

Varied Subjects

Picture
We reviewed a number of programs that are great supplementary programs, from doing copywork, to notebooking, to online multi-subject programs.   It's hard to make a choice, but I have to go with the one the we continue to use.   Homeschool Copywork.  A nice program, that is non-complicated to use,  has elements that delight my boy, scripture and quotes, all round a good product.

I am not going to comment on the various math programs we tried out.  There were elements to each that my lad liked, but until this fall math really wasn't his thing.  We have a math program that he likes and at this point he's unwilling to even think about a different math program.  :)  

Notable Mentions

Picture
I do have a couple of notable mentions Carole Roman books.   History books written in a story format.  HUGE hit with my lad and CrossTimber, who name meaning gifts are so well done and the service so excellent I'd be lax if I didn't mention them.
Picture
I hope you have enjoyed this look through the year, and we check out our favourites.   Good products and programs that we like in our home.

Glad we'll both be back on the Crew for 2017, and I'm looking forward to seeing what we'll get to review!

Yay for 2017 Crew! Excitement awaits. I see that you and I had similar thoughts on some of the products. I also posted by Blue Ribbon Awards today. We did not review the FlipStir but I have found them fascinating!

I know... I find myself curious about what lies ahead. Flipstir...I really liked that puzzle. :) But I like logic puzzles

I thought those Flipstir puzzles were really something else! They created a bit of a "stir" around here ;)
