<i>Lent is a time of remembering Christ's sacrifice--and yet it is not meant to be depressing; it is meant to be reorienting. The 40-day holy season is one of transition when we turn our eyes away from fading disappointments and move ever closer to the radiance of Easter hope.This is the purpose of The Promise of Lent Devotional: to stir up the hope that God has given us in the midst of a fallen world. Each day you'll read of death and new life, temptation and the power to overcome it, the life and ministry of Jesus, and the transformative power of God. Because when we gaze at God's true nature--his sacrificial love and his glorious resurrection--everything changes. The past fades, the tomb's stone rolls away, and our hearts awaken to faith once again. Discover that to be true this year, through The Promise of Lent Devotional.</i> - <a href="https://www.bookdepository.com/Promise-Lent-Devotional-Chris-Tiegreen/9781496419132" target="_blank">Book Depository</a></blockquote><p>I'm really looking forward to using this devotional this year.

Gallipoli in 1915 with the fierce fighting Diggers, but can you imagine
standing beside the brave battling Turks as they defended their homeland
from the cliffs above.<br />
<br />
In the silence that follows a war long gone, you can
see what the soldiers saw, you can feel what the soldiers felt. And if
you try, you might be able to imagine the enemy, and see that he is not
so different from you.<br />
<br />
In One Minute's Silence, you are the story, and the
story is yours - to imagine, remember and honour the brothers in arms on
both sides of the conflict, heroes who shed their blood and lost their
lives.<br />

A moving and powerful reflection on the meaning of Remembrance Day." </p><h4 style="text-align: left;">Awards</h4><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>WINNER: 2015 Prime Minister's Literary Award, </li><li>Children's Fiction WINNER:

I'm so sorry this post is late. Today we are on the final letter for <a href="http://everybedofroses.blogspot.com/search/label/ABC%20Blogging%202021" target="_blank">this years Blogging Through The Alphabet!</a> Wow the letter Z. My co-host Desiree is sharing the <a href="https://ourhomeschoolnotebook.blogspot.com/2021/10/lego-abcs-z-is-for-zone.html" target="_blank">Z is for Zone!</a> </p><p>The topic today is <b>Zoo Visits for Science</b>! A visit to the zoo is so good no matter what age you are. I'm so grateful for zoo's around the world. They contribute to so much of the knowledge that we have and allow us to experience different biomes and animals from across the globe. They are places that protect and preserve life and contribute to the wellness of so many people through having access to being able to see and experience the beauty that is out there in our world. </p><p>One of the mistakes we make is thinking we need to spend ALL day at the zoo. Our local government zoo has a <a href="https://www.zoo.org.au/membership-prices/" target="_blank">membership program</a> making it much cheaper to be able to go to the zoo multiple times throughout the year. By planning our day and choosing which animals we wanted to see that day made a HUGE difference to us enjoying the zoo together. We would pack morning tea. Take ourselves to the zoo and look at those sections we had chosen and come home. Everyone enjoyed this approach so much more than long protracted days at the zoo. </p><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="-webkit-box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1) 1px 1px 5px; background-color: white; border: 1px solid rgb(238, 238, 238); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1) 1px 1px 5px; color: #222222; float: left; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13.199999809265137px; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-right: 1em; padding: 5px; position: relative;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0aKtmI-JZV17brIGuy6z04-L1NBgOpi872AkgakgAJZdfu5e6A5D-RGB-BUeL1xJqsRFADD8qY0e6au1V9cCFNdnObpnH1XV3bwJ42ab88wQu8E2RCNUUK0imJDW80JbXPd4XFt4wcmWf/s1600/Werribee+Zoo+Wild+Nights.jpg" style="clear: left; color: #113be7; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-decoration: none;"><img border="0" height="383" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0aKtmI-JZV17brIGuy6z04-L1NBgOpi872AkgakgAJZdfu5e6A5D-RGB-BUeL1xJqsRFADD8qY0e6au1V9cCFNdnObpnH1XV3bwJ42ab88wQu8E2RCNUUK0imJDW80JbXPd4XFt4wcmWf/s640/Werribee+Zoo+Wild+Nights.jpg" style="-webkit-box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1) 0px 0px 0px; border: none; box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1) 0px 0px 0px; padding: 0px; position: relative;" width="576" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="font-size: 10.5600004196167px; text-align: center;">Wild Nights Zoo After Dark 2015<br /><br /></td></tr></tbody></table><p><br /></p><p>Keep an eye on your local zoo what's on page. We discovered that our Zoo ran a week long night program in winter allowing us to see the zoo after dark.

It is better to do a little with excellence than a multitude of things incompletely.</div><div><br />Knowledge is Power. That power is either in your hand or in someone elses.

My co-host Deidre is sharing <a href="https://ourhomeschoolnotebook.blogspot.com/2021/09/lego-abcs-w-is-for-world.html" target="_blank">W is for World</a> in her her <a href="https://ourhomeschoolnotebook.blogspot.com/search/label/ABC%20blogging%202021">Lego Alphabet Series</a>. </p><p>When we started homeschooling I assumed I would teach my children to write cursive when they turned nine years old because that's when I learned it at school. I was astounded however when I discovered that cursive was not taught to students in New Zealand. The moment that solidified my decision was when I wrote out a recipe in cursive and gave it to a friend. A few months later I asked if she had made the recipe to which she answered no. When I asked why? She responded with she couldn't read it because it was in cursive! I was astounded it never occurred to me that someone couldn't read cursive. That was the defining moment I decided that my children would learn to both read and write in CURSIVE.</p><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjx07MtkfaJQImV8ItksGhXPoTi757-YFCuAoxoYHDJPND5YOTs2d65IjvZRKggvM-9aX22mEjShjXMAIpzOYF_jDd1BgNXhLyGPAEWlvSWoBpFGRfGq-PtaSqVVJ-cgmG3-yyU5wf6IIs5/s1600/Taking+time+to+write+by+hand+slows+us+down+and+allows+truth+to+seep+in.jpg" style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="364" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjx07MtkfaJQImV8ItksGhXPoTi757-YFCuAoxoYHDJPND5YOTs2d65IjvZRKggvM-9aX22mEjShjXMAIpzOYF_jDd1BgNXhLyGPAEWlvSWoBpFGRfGq-PtaSqVVJ-cgmG3-yyU5wf6IIs5/s640/Taking+time+to+write+by+hand+slows+us+down+and+allows+truth+to+seep+in.jpg" width="576" /></a></div><p>Taking time to write by hand slows us down and allows truth to seep in - <a href="https://www.bookofcenturies.com" target="_blank">Laurie Bestvater</a> {<a href="https://www.bookdepository.com/Living-Page-Laurie-Bestvater/9780615834108?ref=grid-view&qid=1631713142519&sr=1-1" target="_blank">The Living Page -30</a>}</p><h2 style="text-align: left;">Advantages of Teaching Cursive</h2><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>It is less fine-motor skill intensive.</li><li>All the lowercase letters begin in the same place on the baseline.</li><li>Spacing within and between words is controlled.</li><li>By lifting the pencil between words, the beginning and ending of words is emphasized.</li><li>It is difficult to reverse letters such as b’s and d’s.</li></ul><div><h2>14 Abilities Needed for Handwriting (Source <a href="https://www.brainworks.info/2015/08/adhd-and-handwriting-is-there-a-connection/" target="_blank">Brainworks</a>)</h2><ol><li><b>Visual focusing</b>: the ability for the eyes to work together</li><li><b>Mental attention</b>: the ability to screen out distractions</li><li><b>Organized physical movements</b>: the ability to maintain posture and hold the writing tool</li><li><b>Receptive language</b>: the ability to perceive abstract concepts and follow verbal directions</li><li><b>Inner expressive language</b>: the ability to think clearly, organize ideas and concepts, and communicate through writing</li><li><b>Memory recall</b>: the ability to remember letter formations and the required movements necessary to make each letter and connection.</li><li><b>Concentration with awareness</b>: the ability to maintain consistent awareness of details and form over a period of time</li><li><b>Spatial perception</b>: the ability to utilize space.</li><li><b>Organization</b>: the ability to organize mind, body, and space to produce meaningful responses</li><li><b>Integration</b>: the ability to unite the mind, body, and space to create meaningful written expression </li><li><b>Eye-hand coordination</b>: the ability to use the eyes and hand together as a unit.</li><li><b>Motor planning</b>: the ability to plan and carry out an action</li><li><b>Tactile input</b>: the ability to feel the pencil in the hand and apply the appropriate pressure to write</li><li><b>Crossing midline</b>: the movement of the eyes, a hand, or forearm to move across the midsection of the body without moving any other part of the body</li></ol></div><div class="separator" style="caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); clear: both; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13.199999809265137px; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwqx7eL9hZ1P9b20ULzcB0bIM8fNwqD_u2YsNsf2HZNPeMEkLP9ME8XiVvj6QO_eT7_MbBZkJnCyrsfh3yej7KZx7rKzcfQeIFVwvoqCztBwa4fTZp30Sj900O88doC-JLxRins8FDSH8/s1600/CursiveLogic+Student+Workbook+version+2.JPG" style="clear: left; color: #113be7; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-decoration: none;"><img border="0" data-original-height="728" data-original-width="1024" height="409" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwqx7eL9hZ1P9b20ULzcB0bIM8fNwqD_u2YsNsf2HZNPeMEkLP9ME8XiVvj6QO_eT7_MbBZkJnCyrsfh3yej7KZx7rKzcfQeIFVwvoqCztBwa4fTZp30Sj900O88doC-JLxRins8FDSH8/s640/CursiveLogic+Student+Workbook+version+2.JPG" style="-webkit-box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1) 1px 1px 5px; background-color: white; border: 1px solid rgb(238, 238, 238); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1) 1px 1px 5px; padding: 5px; position: relative;" width="576" /></a></div><h2 style="text-align: left;">My Product Choice to Teach Cursive</h2><p><span face="Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); color: #333333; font-size: 13.199999809265137px;"></span></p><p><a href="http://www.cursivelogic.com" target="_blank">Cursive Logic</a> is my favourite product to teach cursive.

This is week 23 in <a href="http://everybedofroses.blogspot.com/search/label/ABC%20Blogging%202021">Blogging Through the Alphabet 2021</a>. This week we are looking at V is for Value Added Learning. My co-host Deidre has been sharing some amazing things to do with lego in her <a href="https://ourhomeschoolnotebook.blogspot.com/search/label/ABC%20blogging%202021">Lego Alphabet Series</a>. This week she is sharing <a href="https://ourhomeschoolnotebook.blogspot.com/2021/09/lego-abcs-v-is-for-vacation.html" target="_blank">V is for Vacation</a></p><p>I am a first generation home educator, as such I really struggled with homeschooling in the begining because I was looking at everything from a compartmentalised perspective. Thankfully two things happened which really helped free me to enjoy homeschooling.</p><p>At the time I was living in <a href="https://www.home-school.com/groups/newzealand.php" target="_blank">New Zealand</a> and they brought in some new laws about reviewing homeschoolers. Our local homeschooling group (<a href="http://southislandhomeeducators.weebly.com" target="_blank">South Island Home Educators</a>) held a meeting to help us understand the process. I remember one of the mentor's Dot Brown explaining how to look at what we were doing and classifying it according to subjects. For example if we were doing home economics and baking a cake there were numerous academic subjects being covered not just home economics. We were covering: language arts - reading, math - measurement, critical thinking - following instructions, science - chemistry, home economics - baking, math - budgeting etc. </p><p>It really does not matter what you are doing in the moment it is built upon multiple disciplines the art comes in knowing how to dissect it and classify it into the jargon that the homeschooling authority is seeking.</p><p>This is what homeschoolers are meaning when we talk about Value Added Learning. You do not need to present six seperate subject classes to cover six different subject areas.

This week we are looking at the letter U and for the life of me I couldn't thing of a U topic to share. So I threw it out to the family who suggested - <i>Ubiquitous Homeschooler</i> so here it is. My co-host Deidre has been sharing some amazing things to do with lego in her <a href="https://ourhomeschoolnotebook.blogspot.com/search/label/ABC%20blogging%202021" target="_blank">Lego Alphabet Series</a>.

I can't believe there are only six weeks left in this round. Today my co-host Desiree is sharing <a href="https://ourhomeschoolnotebook.blogspot.com/2021/08/lego-abcs-t-is-for-tensegrity.html" target="_blank">T is for Tensegrity</a> over at Our Homeschool Notebook.</p><p>As a veteran homeschooling mom I was feeling very burnt out a couple of years ago. A homeschool friend blessed me with a copy of the first edition of <a href="https://www.amazon.com.au/Teaching-Rest-Homeschoolers-Guide-Unshakable/dp/1600512879/ref=sr_1_5?adgrpid=87802421035&dchild=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwsZKJBhC0ARIsAJ96n3U2CbWDETBtw9X-dtjx6NzHJ3_NJAWEj0NxLakHBtmAzksJI50W9sQaAhWdEALw_wcB&hvadid=518009398728&hvdev=c&hvlocphy=9071462&hvnetw=g&hvqmt=e&hvrand=2064039209678243674&hvtargid=kwd-331785259434&hydadcr=1949_218900&keywords=teaching+from+rest&qid=1629858062&sr=8-5" target="_blank">Teaching from Rest A Homeschooler's Guide to Unshakable Peace</a> by Sarah Mackenzie. I came away feeling refreshed and renewed. I added it to my <a href="https://www.audible.com.au/pd/Teaching-from-Rest-Audiobook/B01M06PYNB?qid=1565700435&sr=1-1&pf_rd_p=771c6463-05d7-4981-9b47-920dc34a70f1&pf_rd_r=JJM86M4AWHTJACK928EH&ref=a_search_c3_lProduct_1_1">Audible </a>play list in which Sarah reads the book to her audience. Each time I spend listening to a portion I feel a sense of ease in my homeschooling journey. Sarah has encouraged me in a deep abiding way. Her conversational tone is a balm to all home educating Mom's the world over. I have learnt so much from Sarah about living and teaching from a state of rest and what it truly means to do so. This book is empowering.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyZx4HmGVJWSptjVr4rudPWh8wEz-CZVqzsj_u3ffLULz6Vydz_zIO0iAQKK3PIGSEiPWqdRZy83LBVd69mZjrRxyOhuMtm92TcvyIi8CUv2F8VTefGv7wOAOwrsC9P3ex6cY4H64aCrk/s893/Teaching+from+Rest+A+Homeschoolers+Guide+to+unshakable+peace.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em;

When I was a member of the Homeschool Review Crew we reviewed some amazing science curriculums however the one thing I found is that you don't need an official curriculum to enjoy learning about the science of the world around you. Science is a subject that is huge in scope from every day science in your kitchen to working in a laboratory. Do not forget to tap into field trips such as <a href="http://everybedofroses.blogspot.com/2012/03/two-hours-at-museum.html" target="_blank">going to the museum</a>, look for <a href="http://everybedofroses.blogspot.com/2011/09/sustainability-expo.html" target="_blank">community expo's</a> or watching programs like <a href="http://everybedofroses.blogspot.com/2012/02/have-you-seen-kill-it-cut-it-use-it.html" target="_blank">Kill it, Cut it, Use it</a>.</p><br />Define: <a href="http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/science">Science</a><br /><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>The word science comes from the Latin "<a href="http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/scientia">scientia</a>," meaning knowledge especially knowledge based on reproducible data.</li><li>Science is the systematic knowledge of the physical or material world gained through observation and experimentation. </li></ul><br />From this definition we can see that science is not solely about science labs and microscopes, formulas and chemicals it's all about the world around us. The sciences need not fill you with fear the high school years can be a wonderful time of learning alongside your students and discovering amazing things together.<br /><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="-webkit-box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1) 1px 1px 5px; background-color: white; border: 1px solid rgb(238, 238, 238); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1) 1px 1px 5px; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13.199999809265137px; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-right: 1em; padding: 5px; position: relative;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMab4ef8kVH9o2VBZ6pUXvPpkC-q8GQungh7a4hH4oOG5C4-4apmn7IhUhL1jXz_gcoSPw_lJ2OcwfSs8dUSi09DPx4H-7aIUl8fIUH55seu6IazLwLaXonKEhTvXAmnfqaHLq_oj27sg/s1600/Just+For+Fun+Biology+Experiment+8+Seeing+Inside+Plants+Colorful+Flowers.JPG" style="clear: left; color: #113be7; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-decoration: none;"><img border="0" height="383" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMab4ef8kVH9o2VBZ6pUXvPpkC-q8GQungh7a4hH4oOG5C4-4apmn7IhUhL1jXz_gcoSPw_lJ2OcwfSs8dUSi09DPx4H-7aIUl8fIUH55seu6IazLwLaXonKEhTvXAmnfqaHLq_oj27sg/s640/Just+For+Fun+Biology+Experiment+8+Seeing+Inside+Plants+Colorful+Flowers.JPG" style="-webkit-box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1) 0px 0px 0px; border: none; box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1) 0px 0px 0px; padding: 0px; position: relative;" width="576" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="font-size: 10.5600004196167px; text-align: center;">Experiment 8 - Colorful Flowers</td></tr></tbody></table><br />More on Science on this blog:<div><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><a href="http://everybedofroses.blogspot.com/2014/03/visual-periodic-table-by-rsc-tuesdays.html" target="_blank">Visual Periodic Table</a></li><li><a href="http://everybedofroses.blogspot.com/2013/08/day-3-science-curriculum.html" target="_blank">Science Curriculum Options</a></li><li><a href="http://everybedofroses.blogspot.com/2014/04/free-science-homeschool-resources.html" target="_blank">FREE Science Resources</a></li><li>Science in High School <a href="http://everybedofroses.blogspot.com/2015/08/math-science-biology-and-history-in.html" target="_blank">take a look at THIS POST</a></li></ul></div><div>Curriculum we have reviewed:</div><div><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><a href="http://everybedofroses.blogspot.com/2018/05/australian-nature-study-guide-volume-1.html" target="_blank">Australian Nature Study</a> </li><li><a href="http://everybedofroses.blogspot.com/2017/04/exploring-building-blocks-of-science.html" target="_blank">Exploring the Building Blocks of Science</a>.</li><li><a href="http://everybedofroses.blogspot.com/2017/04/web-design-compuscholar-inc.html" target="_blank">Web Design</a> - Compu Scholar</li><li><a href="http://everybedofroses.blogspot.com/2016/11/physics-101-101-series-review.html" target="_blank">The 101 Series</a> - These DVD's are fabulous!

A few years back I spent a long time researching microscope options and settled on the <a href="http://www.sonlight.com/250-45.html">Sonlight's Variable Voltage Microscope</a>. You can read all about it's <a href="http://www.sonlight.com/microscope.html">technical specifications </a>and watch a <a href="http://youtu.be/LsBvYbO40yc">YouTube walk through</a>.<br /><br />If you are living in Australia you can not order in science specimens they will not be allowed past customs. If you are wanting to purchase dissection specimens you can order them from <a href="http://www.southernbiological.com/">Southern Biological</a> in Melbourne. They also stock a full range of items for science use at home and they also ship to New Zealand.<br /><br />In the USA I highly recommend <a href="http://www.sonlight.com/science.html">Sonlight's science resources</a>and the resource kits from <a href="http://www.rainbowresource.com/prodlist.php?subject=11">Rainbow Resources</a>.</div></div><div><br /></div><div><div class="separator" style="caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51);

My co-host Desiree at <i>Our Homeschool Notebook</i> the topic is <a href="https://ourhomeschoolnotebook.blogspot.com/2021/07/lego-abcs-o-is-for-olympics.html" target="_blank">O is for Olympics</a>. <br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirDjUtBgMmu4VKk16z-V2MBEybBI5guGvRvQgkeZCmOL6XRAViH8iRXPZFqXJB1H6t60004RvWzfXsm3y5GY7uYzKKWYfdN4-9bSFSanmH4EgMeUDG7owMvUSnpTFdpWsg0wdXuq5bZVY/s613/Tokoyo+Olympics.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="101" data-original-width="613" height="66" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirDjUtBgMmu4VKk16z-V2MBEybBI5guGvRvQgkeZCmOL6XRAViH8iRXPZFqXJB1H6t60004RvWzfXsm3y5GY7uYzKKWYfdN4-9bSFSanmH4EgMeUDG7owMvUSnpTFdpWsg0wdXuq5bZVY/w400-h66/Tokoyo+Olympics.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><p>This year the <a href="https://olympics.com/tokyo-2020/en/" target="_blank">summer Olympic Games</a> are being hosted in Tokyo from the 23 July 2021 to the 8 August 2021.

On Sunday Paul, Nathaniel and I had our 🇦🇺 Australian Citizenship conferred on us. <a href="http://everybedofroses.blogspot.com/2021/06/celebrate-with-us-we-had-our-australian.html" target="_blank">Paul wrote a heartfelt poem</a> about it that I shared on the blog on Monday. Today has been full as I've attended a Universtity Open Day as I'm trying to decide which degree to pursue. </p><p>This week I am excited to share a little about Math Resources available for home educators and my co-host Desiree is sharing <a href="https://ourhomeschoolnotebook.blogspot.com/2021/06/lego-abcs-m-is-for-mindstorms.html" target="_blank">M is for Mindstorms</a>.</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh93ZNilP7caJapa9uy3PoJqptYaBWHPBD8NzfFuPOdyrw0xeJjqI3VaSnlEIBCL3ZI6PpgfO-ZxdWqg7OrNkdtdGUihYAXWWXYcphoOpNck1MhXVe1y4CRJQzU1lmBHT_qsblGAXchJRU/s1280/people-316506_1280.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="847" data-original-width="1280" height="265" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh93ZNilP7caJapa9uy3PoJqptYaBWHPBD8NzfFuPOdyrw0xeJjqI3VaSnlEIBCL3ZI6PpgfO-ZxdWqg7OrNkdtdGUihYAXWWXYcphoOpNck1MhXVe1y4CRJQzU1lmBHT_qsblGAXchJRU/w400-h265/people-316506_1280.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />I am always surprised by how the subject of math fills each of us with dread or fear and I often wondered why. I don't struggle with math however I do have those anxious feelings whenever I think about math. Over the years I've been curious about Math and teaching math and have done a little research. <br /><p></p><p>For me one of the defining moments of <b>understanding teaching math </b>came after I read the article <span style="font-size: large;"><b><a href="http://www.triviumpursuit.com/articles/research_on_teaching_math.php">History and Research on the Teaching of Math</a></b></span> I highly recommend you <b>read this article before you make a decision on your math curriculum</b>.</p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Some interesting points I've discovered on the subject of teaching/learning math...</b></span><br />
</p><ul><li>. . . early childhood may simply be an inefficient period in which
to try to teach skills that can be relatively quickly learned in
adolescence. (<i>Prime Time for Education: Early Childhood or Adolescence ? </i>by W.D.Rohwer, Jr)</li><li>Mathematics in every form is a subject ill-fitted to the child mind.
It deals not with real things, but with abstractions. When referred to
concrete objects, it concerns not the objects themselves, but their
relations to each other. It involves comparison, analysis, abstraction .
. . (<i>Cyclopedia of Education </i>p.208 William H Burnham)</li><li>. . . successful school achievement in areas requiring use of
concepts - such as numbers, classes, and spatial and causal
relationships - correlated highly with mental age. Developing these
concepts was especially associated with success in arithmetic, problem
solving, and spelling. (<i>Feyberg</i>)</li></ul><div style="text-align: left;">Over the years I've shared multiple thoughts on teaching/learning math, you can read more in depth about it here...<br />

When looking at changing math programs remember to take <b>scope and sequence into account</b>.<br />
</p><ul><li><b>Scope </b>refers to the
content. In other words these are the topics covered<span style="font-size: small;"><b> </b></span>(A to Z)</li><li><b>Sequence </b>is the order in which the scope is taught (IE the order in which things are covered within the program)</li></ul>
It is important to know this about your math product or you might end up
redoing math your child is already familiar with or you might end up
skipping a whole lot of important content that your child needs in order
to succeed at math. <br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><h3 style="text-align: left;">Programs I've reviewed</h3></div><div style="text-align: left;"><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><a href="http://everybedofroses.blogspot.com.au/2013/04/a-quest-with-math-rider-review.html" target="_blank">Math Rider</a> - Math Fact PC Game</li><li><a href="http://everybedofroses.blogspot.com.au/2013/02/a-tutorsoft-review-grade-1-online.html" target="_blank">A+ TutorSoft</a> On line math program</li><li><a href="http://everybedofroses.blogspot.com/2015/05/a-plus-interactive-math-adaptive.html" target="_blank">A Plus Interactive Math Adaptive Placement Test and Individualized Lesson Plan {Review} </a> </li><li><a href="http://everybedofroses.blogspot.com.au/2013/03/a-touch-math-adventure-touchmath-review.html" target="_blank">TouchMath</a> - This is a great hands on program. </li><li><a href="http://everybedofroses.blogspot.com.au/2013/01/tt-meet-squeebles.html" target="_blank">Math Squeebles</a> - Math App</li><li><a href="http://everybedofroses.blogspot.com/2014/08/ubersmart-math-facts-review.html" target="_blank">UberSmart Math Facts {Review}</a> </li><li><a href="http://everybedofroses.blogspot.com/2017/02/times-alive-review.html" target="_blank">Times Alive {Review}</a> - I really enjoyed using this :D </li><li><a href="http://everybedofroses.blogspot.com/2016/05/sunya-magic-and-wonder-of-math-and.html" target="_blank">Sunya - The Magic and Wonder of Math and Science Multiplying & Dividing {Sunya Publishing Review}</a></li><li><a href="http://everybedofroses.blogspot.com/2017/07/logico-learning-game-review.html" target="_blank">LOGICO Learning Game Review</a> - This is a fabulous hands on resource<br /></li></ul></div><div style="text-align: left;"></div><div style="text-align: left;">I asked a few homeschool groups online to find out what my friends are using to teach Math and these are the ones they listed: <br /></div><h3 style="text-align: left;"></h3><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Math Programs</b></span><br />

Dan is a high school math teacher. Great insight about the differences
between computation and math reasoning. Cause and effect of loss of

students learning.</li><li>John Bennett - <a href="http://youtu.be/xyowJZxrtbg" target="_blank">Why Math Instruction is unnecessary</a> John is a home school Dad who is also a highschool teacher. This is one of my favorite talks. </li><li>Arthur Benjamin - <a href="http://youtu.be/M4vqr3_ROIk" target="_blank">Lightning calculation and other "Mathemagic"</a> Interesting show demonstrating how quickly math calculations can be computed.

Time flies when you're having fun. <b>I've had my head in the books</b>. I've recently decided to pursue one of my other passions that of Aromatherapy and started a course to be certified with the aim of becoming a <i>Clinical Aromatherapist</i>. I love that God has placed within creation things to heal and support our bodies! To that end I started a new instagram account and would love for you to pop on over and follow me. I've called it <b><a href="https://www.instagram.com/naturespharmacyaromatherapy/" target="_blank">Nature's Pharmacy Aromatheray</a>. </b></p><p>This weeks letter of the alphabet is L and I would like to <b>talk about life skills</b>.

This challenge has stretched me a little more than I anticipated it would. Some weeks it's been difficult to find a topic to talk about. This week the letter is K. </p><p>My co-host Desiree is sharing <a href="https://ourhomeschoolnotebook.blogspot.com/2021/06/lego-abcs-k-is-for-kitchen.html" target="_blank">K is for Kitchen in her Lego ABC</a>. I'm looking forward to seeing what the family will build. I had no idea that lego made some of the sets that Desiree has showcased over the last three months. </p><p>Today I would like to encourage you to <b>Know Yourself and STOP the Comparison Game</b>. <br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br /><p> </p><p> This is far harder than it sounds. For some reason their is a secret fear that seems to lurk within the homeschool journey. That secret fear is that we will do something wrong and then do a disservice to our children. This in turn drives us to constantly be watching other homeschooling families and comparing notes with what they are doing. This in turn results in taking on more and more thing that are unnecessary. <br /></p><p><b>Knowledge is Power</b>. That power is either in your hand or in
someone elses. If you don't know what you think or what your goals are
then there will be someone out there who is only too happy to lead you a
merry dance and convince you to spend your money with them.<br />
<br />
</p><div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Knowing why you are doing something </b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>is the first step in being empowered </b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>to follow through with your choices. </b></span></div><p>
<br />
Even if you are a seasoned homeschooler and you don't have your thoughts
and focus set, then every single time you see something new or meet a
new homeschooler and hear what they are doing you will feel as though
you are somehow failing your children or they are missing out which in
turn will drive you to choose to add more to an already busy
homeschool. The <b>danger </b>of this is that soon you will be doing a great many things with mediocrity and become overwhelmed and exhausted.<br />

I'm exhausted..." or we have children who are really tired and strung out. </p><p>One of the questions I'm often asked by homeschool Mom's is "My children keep on zoning out and I can't keep them on track. What must I do?" <br /></p><p> <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:6809600226517630976/" target="_blank">Dr Mark Hyman shared</a> this insight "<span class="break-words"><span dir="ltr">Take natural breaks when you
are tired. Our bodies function best on ultradian rhythm cycles of 90
minutes of activity punctuated by a few minutes of resting or zoning
out!"</span></span></p><p><span class="break-words"><span dir="ltr">Our brains need time to process the information we are working on and zoning out is the way in which we accomplish this. </span></span></p><p><span class="break-words"><span dir="ltr">Concentration spans vary with the age of the child.

Thank you to everyone who has been joining int the fun each week. This week we are looking at the letter J and how to find <b>Joy in your Homeschool Journey</b>. My co-host Desiree will be blogging about <a href="https://ourhomeschoolnotebook.blogspot.com/2021/06/lego-abcs-j-is-for-jurassic.html" target="_blank">J is for Jurassic </a> in her alphabet lego series.</p><p>I had been homeschooling for around two years and was feeling like I was living in survival mode and begining to <b>loose my joy in homeschooling</b>. I had taken on far too many expectations from others upon myself and had lost sight of the road. </p><p>The year 2000 saw me introduced me to the wonderful Waring Family who were touring New Zealand sharing <i>Beyond Survival</i>
with us. Oh I am so glad I attended this home school seminar. Diana
is an enthusiastic encourager and her family were an inspiration and
encouragement to keep schooling through the high school years. Diana's
passion and Bills gentle encouragement recharged my batteries.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

It was Diana who inspired me to get <b>Beyond Survival</b> in my homeschooling
and enjoy the abundance the lifestyle has to offer. At this conference I
learned about learning and teaching styles and the impact this has on
our school at home how it causes a lot of frustration both for the
teacher and student and it did not have to. </p><p>Arm yourself with this

This week we are looking at the letter I and my co-host Desiree will be blogging about <a href="https://ourhomeschoolnotebook.blogspot.com/2021/05/lego-abcs-i-is-for-iron-man.html.html" target="_blank">I is for Iron Man</a> in her alphabet lego series.</p><p>Today I would like to share a list of homeschool bloggers to follow on Instagram. (The original list that I've expanded upon is shared with permission from Erin at <a href="https://sevenlittleaustralians.com/aussie-home-ed-instagrams-5/" target="_blank">Seven Little Australians</a>) </p><p>Instagram is one of my favourite platforms for it's ease of use and the sense of community is really really encouraging. </p><p>Instagram first launched 6 October 2010 and is a phone only app which is available on both <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.instagram.android" target="_blank">Android </a>and <a href="https://apps.apple.com/au/app/instagram/id389801252" target="_blank">Apple products</a>.</p><p>You can find me there under the user name <a href="https://www.instagram.com/chareenr/" target="_blank">@chareenr</a> and <a href="https://www.instagram.com/macro_passion/" target="_blank">@macro_passion</a>. When I first started using instagram I recorded our daily life as a way of tracking what and where we went. Over the years it's been a multitude of things. These days I record special moments and the books we are enjoying for high school.<br /></p><p>If you are looking for photo's of wildlife or the occasional story from a zoo keeper then pop on over to my husbands instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/servalpaul/" target="_blank">@servalpaul</a>. He loves hand feeding some beautiful little birds and you can see some slow motion feedings under the hashtag <a href="https://www.instagram.com/servalpaul/" target="_blank">#paulswrens</a> <br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBXjJRX6tCHG_M-Das8A5CeNVQeHICCh1xtiZ6PGdE6AyRki_h81-0WZJv_dVlNZaXDyN5h-CDBcDF6CHIhUl-_N6j6LyhtooG0hGf-sQYdLJXcTmBryHBlmMTA2Ry478pWJ_xZsuHEJo/s723/Homeschoolers+to+follow+on+Instagram.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="723" data-original-width="504" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBXjJRX6tCHG_M-Das8A5CeNVQeHICCh1xtiZ6PGdE6AyRki_h81-0WZJv_dVlNZaXDyN5h-CDBcDF6CHIhUl-_N6j6LyhtooG0hGf-sQYdLJXcTmBryHBlmMTA2Ry478pWJ_xZsuHEJo/s16000/Homeschoolers+to+follow+on+Instagram.jpg" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p>Hashtags are a fabulous way of sifting through the content or discovering content to save or new people to follow.</p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><b>For homeschoolers try:</b></span>

I asked her if I could share and <b>she said yes</b>. The list below has been collated by her and I've added a couple of my own too. </p><p><a href="https://sevenlittleaustralians.com/about/" target="_blank">Erin and PC</a> are blessed with eleven children and have been <a href="http://sevenlittleaustralians.blogspot.com/view/snapshot/search/label/Home%20Education" target="_blank">homeschooling</a> and blogging for many years. </p><p>IF you love books then <a href="http://sevenlittleaustralians.blogspot.com/view/snapshot/search/label/Book%20Reviews" target="_blank">following Erin's blog is a must</a>.
