A couple days ago I posted what who the winners were in the TOS blue ribbon awards.
I thought I would take the time today to tell you who the winners were in our household. :)

StarToaster is our overall winner.
We haven't quite finished this program yet due to busy schedules and other priorities, but my son returns to it determined to finish it off. :)
Caring for Orphs while practicing math, memory retention, logic and vocab skills. It's all good stuff for children.

We've also made favourites of the following.
IEW. Writing skills that are easy for a lad to complete. Grammar taught using a story. It's a good fit.
Cursive Logic. My lad is getting better with his letters, though he still struggles with what some of the written letters really are. It's a struggle at times, but it's become a daily activity to work through.

Even though my son struggled with doing his first official study guide, it was a good experience overall for him. Stone Fox Study Guide that we did from Progeny Press worked well at helping him look at the book more deeply. At the end though he HATED the book Stone Fox because the dog died...and my soft-hearted boy just really struggled with that aspect of the book. Knowing it was based on a true story helped him with the processing of it all.
Next up was Brookdale House with their Drawing around the world: Europe study. Though the set up of the study itself wasn't a great fit, the opening up of opportunities for learning about the countries of Europe...Being spurred on to cook, watch videos and such is such a great fit and we're having so much fun doing so.

Brinkman Adventures brought us Christian Stories that made us think, sometimes laugh, and definitely share.
Visual Learning Systems and SmartKidz Media are both programs we enjoyed using, it's sometimes difficult to remember to work them into our schooling though.
For math we worked with Great parents academy and Stinky Kids Math. My son's comment when asked to choose which he liked most was "I kinda liked both mom". We haven't continued with GPA Math since as we progressed through the program I found that he was too often skipping the practice part and saying the tests were too easy so we moved to a workbook approach. Stinky Kid we continue to use.

The game Wonky continues to be a huge favourite in our household and beyond. It frequently travels with us and I am so glad that USAopoly was one of our review products this year. Wonky is a great game.
So I hope you've enjoyed my walk through this years reviews (at least the most memorable ones for us). Hopefully within them you find some treasures of your own.
