30 MINUTES A DAY

Wouldn't that be great, to have a workbook that can help you teach your child for just 30 min a day? A workbook that has a designed lesson for each day with a quiz ?
Brighter Minds media has the perfect workbook for that, only 30 min a day, and all you have to do is watch your kid learn.
This book is available for PREK, KINDERGARDEN, and 1st GRADE.
Here is the link for there website, Brighter Minds .
I have a tip for you, i don't know if you have these stores near you (Ross, Tj max, Marshals, Burlington), if you check the area where they have books in the kids section, you may find a lot of interesting workbooks at a less than half the retail price, or try ebay too after you checkout the retail price and be careful get new ones.
Until next time , it is a tough job to be your kids teacher get all the help you need.
Good luck teacher.

ARE YOU HOMESCHOOLING?

Being a mom is more fun than we think, we watch our babies grow but if they go to school we miss the learning part. That is why i chose home school, it is challenging but worth every second .
My advice to the moms who chose to be part of there kids learning experience, is to be ready.
Here are some tips:
- Start early while your child is still young 2-3 years old.
- Buy as many workbooks as you can.
- Make sure you have a reliable computer and a PRINTER ( you will need that to keep records).
- Create a space at home that you will call school.
- Buy educational games ( i will give you a list, look in safe games category) .
- Be organized from the beginning .
- Talk about it with your child to get him or her excited, don't forget they will have you as a teacher, how cool is that.
- Spend at least 1 hour a day in home school.
- Be flexible, don't force your child to learn, make him or her enjoy it.
Homeschooling is an amazing experience, very tough, time consuming but totally worth it.
You will need all the help you can get to make it a successful experience, that is why i created this category to make it the homeschooling source for moms.
See you next time until then be happy to be a mom.
