Lots of Reviews in Progress!

Is anyone wondering what items we are using for reviews right now?  I do not always post about the items until the review itself is due, but I thought that today I would go ahead and give you a peek at everything we are currently reviewing.  Some of these products are part of our journey with the TOS Homeschool Crew, while others are independent reviews.  Normally we do not have quite this many review items going at once, but you’ll see that several are books to read, which are the easiest reviews to do, and most are not for main academic subjects.   

etiquette factoryThe Etiquette Factory – Oh boy do we need this one!  It will be a unique review in that I actually paid to review this product.  We have all three levels and began it this past week.  Smile  Beyond_foo_productBeyond Foo: Geth and the Return of the Lithens by Obert Skye – This book won’t even be released until May 9th, but I have it and will be sharing my thoughts before then. science weeklyScience Weekly publication – We’ve received a sample topic to review.  Which one?  You’ll find out in April!

The etiquette one is most interesting to me, especially since it has different levels! Looking forward to your review!

I'm really looking forward to ALL of these reviews! Noah (4) and I have started All About Reading as well and we LOVE it! I love AAS as well, so it didn't surprise me that we love this one too.

These look great! I'm excited to see what you have to say!

I'm intrigued to hear more about All About Reading. In an ideal world all curriculums will work the same with all your kids but unfortunately that's never the case. The reading curriculum we are using right now (for Kindergarten) is very simple, but I have a feeling my youngest may need something different. Even though she's barely 3, she's already showing in every way how different she is than her sister. :)

I can't wait to read your etiquette review!

Heidi said...

Wow! You're a busy girl. I've not heard of the etiquette stuff - I'll be looking forward to your review of it. :)

The etiquette one is sorely needed in my house. However, the boys would be all over Beyond Foo: Geth and the Return of the Lithens .

How are you liking All About Reading?

I am stopping by from the Blog Walk.

I know I am behind, but I am catching up.

I am already following you.
