My Passport to India

July 29th, 2011

With today’s modern technology, what seemed impossible or difficult to do before is made possible now, with the click of a mouse.

Including travel – virtually.

Via Sonlight, I learned about My Passport to India:

“Last fall, Sonlight families took a thrilling virtual tour through the cities and villages of India. Our friends over at Mission India produced an incredible online video program and took us around by plane, train and rickshaw to see the “real India.” ” Read the rest of this entry »

Rocket Math

June 27th, 2011

Math is currently KM’s favorite subject.  Just a little bit more than two weeks into our homeschooling for this school year, and we are almost done with First Quarter lessons.  Hurray!  That’s how excited he is in learning the next lessons.  We will have enough time for fun exercises, games and drills, yey!

Singapore Math was a hit with KM last year (I’m thinking of going back to it sometime this year).  It is perfect for KM’s learning style as he easily grasped the concepts and would always request that we study it first.

As for games, Rocket Math is currently KM’s favorite on the iPad.
