We are lifetime subscribers of Eeducation.com and absolutely love it. So much on there for homeschool. One of my son's absolute favorite part of it is, the app "Brainzy." The games are so much fun.  Anyway,... A few days ago, we realized Typing is part of the app. whaat? No way! We have never noticed that before, maybe it's a new feature?.. but whatever ...we found it at the perfect time. Typing is part of our schedule for this school year and I have been looking for an app for it for so long, not realizing it's right there and free for us. It is working great and my son is enjoying it. We were suppose to start in September, but he couldn't wait, so we are ahead of the game. If you do not yet have a subscription with Education.com, you should definitely consider it.  ~~~~~~~~~~ All photos posted here are property of Life with Me3.

Have you introduced building technology to your child yet? When do you intend to introduce it? My son is very hands on like me, so I introduced it to him at age six. I kept it simple; how to safely hold and use a hammer, how to safely hold the nail while hammering,.. He has his little corner where he gets to make his own creations.. This is him on his first try. no plan, just nailing pieces together 😀.  I will be teaching him about planning this school year. Proud of his first creation😊 ~~~~~~~~~~ All photos posted here are property of Life with Me3. Photos copyrighted to Portraits by Alinda. DO not use any content without written permission.
