The Case of the Missing Mountain – Book Review

The Case of the Missing Mountain – Book Review

The kids and I have had the honor of reviewing The Case of the Missing Mountain by Kim Jones.  The Case of the Missing Mountain is a colorful 80 page activity book.  The kids join Rangers Jack and Jen as they work to solve 8 mystery’s to see what happened to Mount. St. Helens.  You solve the mystery’s by doing crossword puzzles, codes, word finds, word scrambles and other activities.  Once the kids solve all the mystery’s, they will then become an Official Mystery Ranger.


Here is an official description of the book.

We really liked the book a lot.  My oldest daughter who is 13, enjoyed working on the puzzles and word scrambles and the different activities that were in the book.  However, it was a little difficult for my 6 and 5 year old children.  They did enjoy the hands on activities when we got to make a mess though.  And you will make a mess!    


I definitely recommend this book for the elementary to middle school age kids.


If this book sounds like one you would like to buy for you and your children, you can order The Case of the Missing Mountain from Inspire4Less.com .  Or you can come to the awesome twitter party, to try and win a copy of the book.  The twitter party is being hosted by Meghan (@meghantucker) from The Tuckers Take Tennessee and Masterbooks (@masterbooks) with Inspire4Less (@inspire4less) as the featured vendor.  The twitter party will take place on February 22 at 8:00pm central time.  Be sure to use the hastag #masterbooks.

Math Websites

Math Websites

Since I have been homeschooling a little over 8 years, I have come across many websites that has helped us out in our homeschooling journey. I would love to share some with you, in hopes that they will also help you in your homeschooling journey.

The 3 websites that I will be sharing with you today are math websites. They will help your children learn their multiplications and other math concepts.

The first one is The Table Trees. You can click on a number tree and it will go through the whole table. You can do this as many times as you like.

Superkids is a website that you can make worksheets from.  We have used this many times when we have had to spend a little extra time on a concept that the kids were having a hard time understanding.

Education.com also has a lot of worksheets that you can download as well.

We have used all of these websites at one time or another and they have helped us out.  Hopefully they will help you as well.

L.E.N.S Photo Challenge – Physical Education

L.E.N.S Photo Challenge – Physical Education

The L.E.N.S. Photo Challenge this week is Physical Education.  In our homeschooling journey, we do incorporate P.E.  Our local Recreation Center offers a class for homeschoolers once a week for an hour.  During the warmer months, we meet at the park with our group as well for fun and structured play dates.  During the winter time, when we aren’t able to meet as much, we find other ways of getting active.  When it snows, that means sledding!  Yes, there is a lot of physical activity in sledding.  Especially when you have to walk up the hill!  My kids have a blast sledding and playing in the snow.

Since we have had a lot of snow this winter.  They have had a lot of chances to sled.  Here is one of the pictures that I got of 2 of the kids sledding together.

 

Be sure to visit Home Is Where You Start From to see the blogs linking up.  There are always great pictures to look at!
