Today is a great day to talk to kids about their freedoms and what the military does, and this free download will help.

This Veteran's Day social studies unit is a great way to compare and contrast with Memorial Day while talking to kids about what it all means.

This is a perfect Veteran's Day activity - learn and discuss vocabulary in the word scramble.

Please be sure to thank a veteran today!  They give so much, risking their lives for our freedom,  and get so little in the way of thanks most of the time.  Be sure that they know you appreciate what they have done for you.

Cool New Tools for Learning

Are you homeschooling your children? Then you need to check out these great products!  We home schooled for approximately twenty years and have dealt with our share of fidgety and inquisitive children.  Our youngest son, now a Corporal in the US Marine Corps, would have loved the electronics kit mentioned below.  All of the children would have welcomed anything to make math fun.


From fixes for fidgeters to DIY electronics, check out these awesome innovations to teach our next generation body, mind, and manner.

Tip: At Educents use the code CANDYCORN through 10/31 for Free Shipping. A sweet treat worthy of indulging.

Health & Beauty...For Kids


kids-yoga-photography This adorable fall yoga book encourages kiddos to explore signs of fall outside, while stretching into the shapes they discover out and about.

What's better than a walk on a crisp fall day, photography, and getting moving? Maybe some Pumpkin Spice coffee but that's about it.

Best of all, the book includes a list of yoga poses for kids and a parent-teacher guide, so you can get your stretches in while encouraging health and learning.

A Fix for Fidgeters

fidget-tool I wish they had these when I was in school with fidgeters, and that we'd had them when our kids were small. This clever tool provides fidgeters with a quiet, non-disruptive way to keep their feet moving while their eyes, ears, and hands stay focused. And it's not just for learning time - if you have a family occasion or a dinner out, this tool can be your saving grace.

  • glowing LEDs,
  • beeping buzzers,
  • controlling lights & motors
  • using a Multimeter
  • automatic night lamp set up
  • robotics motor-driver
I've listed more than most can handle and that's just the tip of the iceberg in this amazing kit.  There are more than 50 different activities with step-by-step instructions waiting to be prototyped, tested, and built. Next up, teleporter!

Math Games for ALL the Rainy Days

math-gamesWho doesn't love a game? Research shows that play increases creativity AND smarts - as well as longevity. Since math can become a struggle, removing some of the heft of this "serious" subject by making it a game works wonders! These math games encourage play and math learning in one fell swoop!
Give your kiddos the gift of having fun with math to build up their confidence! Whether your child is learning about fractions, perimeter, multiplication or division, this awesome Seller on Educents has a game for every level of math learning. The games are colorful, and plenty of fun for the entire family.

Not a Lost Art: Handwriting Visual Workbooks

Watching your child learn to write is so fun - from the charming shapes to the fully fledged sentences. It's one of the most important ways they'll communicate - and believe it or not, handwriting still matters!

No matter what your child's level of handwriting - the art can use practice, practice, practice. Channie's Visual Handwriting Workbooks are super cute, and cost less than $10 each! Great prep for Thank You notes for Santa, for birthdays and all the wonderful occasions to come. :)
