I really appreciate how these hands-on stations get my students out of their seats and doing science. As they work through the activities my students are consistently engaged and asking questions. The DVD and associated materials, including a pre/post-test, dovetail perfectly with the labs. I have found this Videolab adapts well to either high school or middle school earth science. I have used it at both levels with great results.

Reviews of Educational Insights Hot Dots Math Flash Cards - Telling Time

Educational Insights Hot Dots Math Flash Cards - Telling Time
Customer Ratings: 4 stars
List Price: $11.23
Sale Price: $8.99

These flash cards use the Hot Dots pen to self-correct your child as they learn. Using one of the flash cards, the child will choose the correct answer to the problem presented. They touch the circle next to the answer they select using the pen. The pen will flash a red light and/or make a sound if they are wrong. If they are correct, the pen will flash a green light and/or make a sound.

The cards are double-sided, so there is a problem on each side. The answers are not on the cards themselves. The answers are given on a separate sheet of paper included with the cards.

The cards have a white plastic index-card size case to store them in.

The cards are not colored, only black and white. There are drawings on the cards of a cuckoo clock, A digital alligator clock, a round clock, a firetruck digital clock, a dog digital clock.

On some cards, the child must read the face of the clock and then select the correct time from the choices given. On other cards, the child must read the clock face and then select the written-out time from the sentences given, and on others, the child reads a digital clock and selects the corresponding clock face.

I would recommend these for first or second graders for reinforcement of school work. My children found them much more interesting than a simple workbook approach.

The cards do not come with the Hot Dots pen, so you will need to purchase that if you do not have it already.

Students with special needs can learn more because this fits under "errorless learning". They never learn the wrong time because the hot dot pen corrects them. They only learn the right time. This makes my job much easier. I highly recommend this product!

I thougt this would be a very good educational gift. But guess what, it doesn't come with the pen. It should be written e large and huge letters. I felt cheated.

Honest reviews on Educational Insights Hot Dots Math Flash Cards - Telling Time

Every child should have these flash cards. These were a Christmas gift and have not started to use them. I expect that my grandchild will learn quickly from these cards by using the pen.

My daughter loves guitars and we got this for her 9th birthday. It is thin and small compared to a regular guitar, which is nice. It plays 3 songs and is fun to tap and keep the beat. My husband loves it as much as my daughter. A fun/simple alternative to a normal guitar.

So far the guitar is pretty much on perfect play or freestyle. I am really surprised at how well my 4 yr old daughter is doing on the freestyle. She has definitely paid attention at concerts and videos! And yes, she LOVES her new guitar.

As to how well it will stand up, it has been dragged around the house, walked on by the cat and well-loved, and so far so good!

If you have a child into music, you might want to consider one of these guitars for birthday and Christmas presents!

Honest reviews on Wow Wee Paper Jamz Guitar Series II - Style 3

We bought a Paper Jamz and shoulder strap for our daughter's 12th birthday, and she hasn't put it down since her party! It was a good thing we included a pack of AAAs with it, because "Batteries Not Included". I highly suggest that you get a guitar strap for it, because I think after carrying it around all day, your arms would get tired. Also, it's just cool for the kids to add to the "rock star" picture.

Considering it's made of paper, don't expect it to last until your kids go to college, but with minimal care, I think it'll last at least as long as any other toy that's well-loved. I suspect that the paper over the "strumming" area will fade over time (based upon the tester Paper Jamz I've seen in stores) but then again, kids seem to have the attention span of squirrels so by the time it's ready for the trash, they'll probably be ready too.

There's only three songs on it, so it's an extra for the parents that there's a headphone plug-in. Even though it's a great song, there's only so many times I can hear "I Love Rock And Roll." I'm pretty sure that there's a "free play" feature, but I haven't been able to get it away from my daughter to really examine it.

All in all, the parental units are happy and our daughter is happy.

My daughter (age 7) loves this guitar. It comes with 3 demo songs that i'm worried will get very old in about a week. Otherwise she seems to love it so far. It allows for freestyle. Do not expect to be able to play this like you would a regular guitar, but it does open up the idea to younger children and perhaps sparks an interest without you having to buy an expensive guitar and expensive lessons.

Review of Arduino Adventures Full KIT - All the Components Required

Arduino Adventures Full KIT - All the Components Required to Complete the Challenges Proposed By the Book
Customer Ratings: 5 stars
Buy Now
I just started Arduino Adventures with my 12 year old and was delighted to find this kit of parts that has everything I need to complete the challenges in the book. One thing to be aware of is that the book assumes you have an Arduino Uno R3 but this kit contains the Arduino Leonardo. It's almost the same thing but make sure you choose the right board from the "Tool" menu in the Arduino IDE! We had a few tense moments when the Serial Monitor showed complete gibberish instead of the expected output. Setting the board to "Leonardo" fixed this.

We can't wait for Challenge 2!

Do read my review of Arduino Adventures! Both the book and this kit were better than I expected.

Not only does this kit include every component you'll need to complete the challenges in the book, it has a few extras, does not skim on quality, and is a very good value.

The components included are of high quality the breadboards I received are the clear plastic kind, and the Arduino was Leonardo-based, has a micro USB connector, can act as a USB client, and it also has a wireless connector header for Xbee/Zigbee, etc.

Sure, you can buy all these components separately, and they may end up being cheaper, I really don't know. But the convenience of getting all the components in one place, and seeing the quality of what was packed in the box made this a good choice for me and my kids.

Nothing is in the way of us solving all the challenges from the Arduino Adventures book and rescuing Cade and Elle!

Thanks you for super fast shipping. And I got all the part listed with no damage.

And just to be aware for other user. From the product description the board is listed as Arduino compatible board. You may not get the Official Arduino itself. For my case I got the DFRobot Leonardo with Xbee socket, which so far I got no problem following the book with this board.

Overall super satisfy with shipping & customer service.

Thanks yous.

The that is picture with journal look like it would have the ability to lock it,which is what I wanted, but that was not the case. The key was only for decoration, and for as much as the journal cost you would think a key would be included.

Cheap Laugh & Learn Spanish Grammar! Book

Laugh & Learn Spanish Grammar! Book
Customer Ratings: 5 stars
Buy Now
This book is full of worksheets with a joke at the top of the page in English. The students then do an activity to spell out the answer in English at the bottom of the top. Each page has a code that is filled out with letters or words from the correct answers.

The chapters are:

Nouns and Articles

Adjectives

Verbs include: present, preterite, imperfect, subjunctives, future, conditional, commands, besides some choosing between two verbs, such as saber and conocer

Pronouns

Special uses, such as time, months, and question words

Some of the pages are matching the Spanish with the English translation. Other pages are fill in the blanks of Spanish sentences. Some pages have the students circle yes or no if the sentence is correct. There are also a few mazes.

The jokes are pretty corny, such as "What goes tick, tick, woof, woof?" A watch dog. Or "What do you call a cow lying in the dirt?" "Ground beef." But kids love it. I like that they self correct to figure out the joke. It's something students can do on their own with a sub who doesn't speak Spanish. These are worksheets your students will want to do.

MATH NOODLERS GR 2-3
Customer Ratings: 4 stars

The following review of this game was written by Sarah, one of my 4th graders. We use this game in class to help teach about fractions. It is great to help students with equivalent fractions and comparing & ordering fractions. Here is Sarah's review:

Fun with Pizza Fractions is a fun game that we were introduced to in 4th grade. The game is fun to play and teaches us fractions. I can't get enough of it.

There are many ways to play the game (7 to be exact). My favorites are games number 1 and 3. The way to play number 1 is you set all of the fraction pieces in the middle then players take turns taking pieces. When all the pieces are gone, the player who has the most complete pizzas built wins.

The way to play game 3 is players take turns spinning the spinner and they follow the directions given on the spinner. For example, if it lands on 1/4, the player needs to try and find a pizza slice that is 1/4th of the pizza.

One of the things that could be changed is the pizza is TOO realistic. It makes me hungry. Something I like about the game is it helps us with our math.

I would recommend this game for a child in 1st-4th grade or anyone who struggles with fractions.

This is the second game that my almost 4 year old nephew has gotten for the vmotion. He has figured out how to navigate the menus on his own and loves almost all of the games. Great entertainment, but don't expect a schoolbook lesson or anything. Some color matching and number identification but nothing hard core. Great for him as an intro to the world of video games.

This was sent as a gift to a friend. I liked it so much, I purchased one for myself. I put it on the livingroom coffee table and it interests all who see it, many friends have asked where they could get one for themselves. I have always loved kaleidoscopes and this one is the best I've seen. The colors and patterns are gorgeous. Care should be taken when placing it in the base, and it may be best suited for ages 6 and up. I remove it from the base when viewing it, as I find it a bit awkward viewing it while in the base.

Our 16 mo old twins love this toy. I dont know what the other reviewer is talking about in terms of a sharp big bird-all of our parts are safe, not sharp, easy to handle and of superior plastic-very durable. Not cheap thin flimsy stuff at all. Boys love this stacker compared to the other non Sesame ones we have. And, Quinn keeps trying to find other things to put the rings around, testing shapes to see what fits. Great toy!

I have a 10 month old who prefers playing with my cell phone, his wipes case, or even an empty box. It is rare he will sit and play with a toy but this one he loves. Very simple and straightforward. I think it is very well made and the price was right. Comes with 4 rings (including the topper with Big Bird) and the base. Perfect size for little hands, and very bold, bright colors to keep him interested.

The rings are heavier plastic than I was expecting, so I was pleasantly surprised. I love that Big Bird in his nest tops off the whole thing. My daughter loves to knock it over.

This is a really cute stacker and I love that the pole part is like a Sesame Street street lamp. However, when big bird is on top, my daughter has a hard time carrying it. You have to have your hand underneath the bottom to carry it and that's just not realistic of a toddler to do when she wants to carry a toy. She goes to grab it and gets it bird while the rest of the toy just sits there.
