I took it to the store and they had non in stock so they exchanged it for a Samsung Galaxy Tab2.
In our home school this week…
- We continued on our creation journey and watched two DVD's. In the Beginning by Sight & Sound and is a visual feast and a spiritual blessing to watch. I would love to own a full set of these DVD's. We also watched The Bible ... In The Beginning this was produced in 1966.
- We have continued our week of chronological history by studying biblical history.
- Sir N has continued his spelling journey with Explode the Code Book 1.
- Do you have access to the Samsung Apps Store ? If so I highly recommend ART vol 1 Early artists - up to 1600s and they have a ART vol2 Baroque and Renaissance (1600-1700s). I just discovered that this app is only available for a certain range of hardware. If you have a Samsung Galaxy II it works very well on here.

Tschaikovsky **FREE** - A Day with Charles Dickens also for FREE

Sight and Sound puts on amazing shows - I had no idea you could watch them in video online! What a tremendous blessing.
ReplyDeleteMmmmm I didn't word that right. We did not watch on line. A friend of mine loaned us the DVD and we are in love. I hope to purchase a full set over time :)
DeleteThanks for sharing these links, Chareen. Do you like your new tablet? I've had fun, this week, looking for educational apps for the iPad. The amount of choice is almost overwhelming.
ReplyDeleteI don't know what is a good bedtime for a seven-year-old but 8 o'clock works well for our 6 year old. We eat dinner quite late so the younger children have a routine of going to bed as soon as dinner is over. It's funny how I love being with them during the day but it's so nice when they're tucked up in bed!
God bless, Chareen:-)
You are welcome Vicky. The ART app is available on the iPad although it is not free.
DeleteMy friend recently showed me this great app for younger students and Nathaniel really enjoys it :)

I am impressed with all their apps.
Hey Chareen, really enjoyed this post to get to know your homeschool a bit better. We went to the shrine of remembrance in 2011. Brings Aus history to life. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing the links. I will be checking some of them out.
ReplyDeleteI find that I really need downtime in the evenings so we put our kids to bed pretty early. We also schedule most of their activities (piano, gymnastics, swimming, art classes) during the day so that evenings are free. Our youngest girls who just turned eight go to bed at 7:00.
