Protect Your Vision

What do you do if you can tell that you’re not seeing as clearly as you should be, but you don’t have the money to see an optometrist?  There are places online where you can buy vision products without a prescription, however that isn’t advisable.  Although it may be expensive, you want to protect your vision.   One of the reasons it’s best to see an optometrist is because the lens center of the eyeglasses should not be any farther apart than the distance between the pupils, and an eye doctor can measure that accurately.

It is certainly important to visit a professional when

Switched-On Schoolhouse Series: Old School Can Be Done With New School

I write The Switched-On Schoolhouse Series twice a month to share our family’s experience using this software based curriculum in our home.

On one of my earlier posts where I was sharing how a typical lesson in Switched-On Schoolhouse works, one of my readers left a comment saying “Looks like diagramming sentences is out now thanks to computers!”.

And I would have agreed with her, until

Band Angels

We’re past the stage in our home where we are covering up scratches and scraped knees with bandages.  But it wasn’t that long ago that I was applying Scooby-Doo and Snoopy Bandages to Amber’s cuts and boo-boos.

Just the other day though we had friends visiting, and like 4 year old boys will do, our little guest was

TI-Nspire with Touchpad Graphing Calculator Giveaway

A Calculator for High School…and Beyond

The new TI-Nspire from Texas Instruments, has a unique feature to it, a touchpad which allows you to navigate on the calculator.  With so many of this generation’s children having technology given to them almost right out of their cribs, this powerful computing device will take their math to the next level.  It is essentially a mini math computer.

Amber is currently two full years ahead of herself in math.  A freshman by age, she is nearly finished with her Algebra II credit and has her sights on working on Pre-Cal or Trig when she is done.  That makes this mathphobic homeschooling mom just a bit nervous.  I mean, how am I going to help her with that?!
