Math Essentials Review
Disclaimer: I received a FREE copy of this product through the HOMESCHOOL REVIEW CREW in exchange for my honest review. I was not required to write a positive review nor was I compensated in any other way

My 7th grader is learning Algebra she is quickly discovering that this is not her area of expertise. I have decided that maybe we need to try a different approach and that approach is Math Essentials you can find it at https://www.mathessentials.net/. Pricing is currently $35.95 considering it includes videos I consider this a fair price. We are using Math Essentials No- Nonsense Algebra as a supplemental and this is how it went.

No-Nonsense Algebra is a complete algebra program that includes free online video tutorials. So every lesson in the book has a video lesson to go along with it. The lessons are taught by Richard W. Fisher. The book consist of 10 chapters:
Chapter 1- Necessary Tools for Algebra
Chapter 2- Solving Equations
Chapter 3- Graphing and Analyzing Linear Equations
Chapter 4- Solving and Graphing Inequalities
Chapter 5- System of Linear Equations and Inequalities
Chapter 6- Polynomials
Chapter 7- Rational Expressions
Chapter 8- Radical Expressions and Geometry
Chapter 9- Quadratic Equations
Chapter 10- Algebra Word Problems
The Goal of Mastering Essentials Math Skills No-Nonsense Algebra is to explain algebra in a way that is easy to understand with shot, concise, self- contained lessons.
Mastering Essentials Math Skills No-Nonsense Algebra explains algebra in a way that is easy to understand in short, concise, self-contained lessons.
The lessons take around 20 minutes a day to do. We are using this as a supplemental program to help with some of the topics she is having trouble with. We start each lesson off by watching the video. My daughter goes to the website and at the top she goes to the video library and click which ever video she needs for the lesson she is on. She can then watch a video for the lesson she is currently working on. The videos give her an explanation using an example problem. She says she really likes the videos and says that so far they are easy to understand but felt that they needed to go through more examples so she be sure she had the steps for doing the problem down.
We then move on to the workbook. She thinks the workbook is easy to follow and gives her plenty of questions to practice on. I love how the book is laid out. At the top of each page it tells the student which lesson they are on. At the bottom it gives the chapter. Then each lesson gives you an introduction with helpful hints on how to do the problems. Then down below it will give you some example problems, that are done for you. She calls these the remind me how its done problems. Below that are the practice problems and some review problems which are done to review things learned in previous lesson. I really like that it gives the student review questions so they are not forgetting what they have worked on in previous lessons.

At the back of the book you will find chapter reviews and chapter test as well as solutions to all the questions and test. You will also find some charts with important formulas and symbols, multiplication tables, commonly used prime numbers, squares and square roots and fraction/decimal equivalents. My daughter wishes the charts were made to be tore out so she could laminate them. That way she could look at them when needed with out having to flip to the back of the book.
I feel like both the book and the videos give a good coverage of the topics that are included in the curriculum. I don't think there it would be enough content to last an entire school year but it is a great supplemental program or even a great summer curriculum to fill in any gaps a student might have.

Fermentools Review
Disclaimer: I received a FREE copy of this product through the HOMESCHOOL REVIEW CREW in exchange for my honest review. I was not required to write a positive review nor was I compensated in any other way.

We are trying something out that we have never tried before. We are going to try fermented food. Fermentools has sent us a Starter Kit to review. The Fermenttools' Single Fermentation Kit Includes: 1 Stainless Steel Lid- Made from 304 surgical stainless steel, 1 Glass fermentation weight- made to fit inside a standard widemouthed mason jar, 1 Air Lock, 2 Rubber stoppers,1 rubber canning gasket, Himalayan powdered salt, and 1 instruction guide with basic sauerkraut recipe.
So when I agreed to review this product I didn't know much about fermented foods other than my grandma used to make sauerkraut and my dad loved it. So basically fermentation is when you submerge your product under a brine (which is salt water solution) and away from air. When you do this you create an anaerobic environment. This specific type of environment is necessary for lactose fermentation to occur. This creates a pro-biotic rich rich preserved product. Fermentools use an airlock to keep oxygen and external air away from the submerged product trapping carbon dioxide and lactic acid. The more carbon dioxide that is produced, the more air that is pushed out of the container via the airlock.
You can ferment all sorts of foods, pickles, cabbage,vegetables of all sorts, sourdough starter's are fermented. Fruits and some dairy products can be fermented to make things like yogurt, sour cream, and raw milk butter. We are starting with sauerkraut and then we will attempt to make yogurt or maybe something else.
Our nifty little kit came in me and the girls took everything out of the box so we could get familiar with all the items in the kit. We took some time reading the instructions and decided to just dive into the project. The girls shredded the cabbage and stuffed it all into a bowl. We added the amount of pink Himalayan sea salt that recipe called for to the bowl of cabbage and the girls began to squeeze and smash the cabbage. When you do this the cabbage begins to ooze out its liquid once we felt like we had squished enough we packed it into the jar per the instructions. The brine needs to cover the cabbage completely and we were a little short so we mixed some up following the package instructions and added a little to the jar so that the cabbage was covered. We put the glass disk on top of the cabbage to hold it all down beneath the brine. Next you put the rubber seal the special cap and ring on top. Next you insert the rubber plug that has the little valve installed in the top into the hole that's in the cap. Now all that's left to do is to place it in a cool dark place like a cabinet and wait the recommended number of days. The longer it sits the stronger the taste. After 7 days it was time to give it a try.... My mom is the only one in the house that likes sauerkraut so she was brave and gave it a try. Guess what IT WORKED she reported that it taste just like the sauerkraut that her grandma used to make.

I have done some additional reading on fermenting foods and we think we are going to try some pickles and my mom is interested in trying to ferment some carrots when the garden starts producing in a few months. Fermentools is great for both new and experienced fermenters. They have lots of great information on the web site and a variety of fermenting kits.

Backyard Camping
With COVID19 our favorite campgrounds are closed. The girls have been disappointed that they cant enjoy camping while we are having cool weather. Me and the grandparents decided to surprise the kids with a little backyard camping this weekend. So we pulled the camper up to the yard dug out the campfire pit and camped out. The girls roasted hotdogs and then stuffed themselves on marshmallows and chocolate. We played kick ball and frisbee. We swan on the tree swing told jokes and played pranks on each other. We had a great time sitting around the campfire and telling stories from the past. If your stuck at home due to COVID19 I highly recommend backyard camping. Now is a great time put away your devices and connect with your kids and family again. I challenge everyone to go backyard camping.
FYI no photos for this post because we were device free for the weekend.

So these are the three things that occurred in my house this week. Not necessarily in this order. First I’m learning how to screen print using my circuit, vinyl, a screen printing screen a squeegee and some ink. See the snoopy and the America Strong images. For a first go at it I think they came out great. This weekend I’m going to dive into a complicated multi layer image wish me luck. I’m hoping to nab some photos of the project as I move through the steps. That middle picture is of my lunch a western bacon cheese burger. We were forced to venture out for a optometrist appt today for Nana. Up until today no one but me had been off our property for three weeks. The Boss Man aka popa stayed home with the girls and I made the trip with mom so fewer of us were out and about. On the way back genius me scheduled a pick up order at Menards and I babes my self a brand spanking new water heater. See future post for the install. What’s everyone else been up to during this COVID19 social distancing thing.
Home School in the Woods Review
Disclaimer: I received a FREE copy of this product through the HOMESCHOOL REVIEW CREW in
exchange for my honest review. I was not required to write a positive review nor was I compensated in any other way.
We are trying out Home School in the Woods from http://homeschoolinthewoods.com. This is a hands on learning experience type of product and we are using one of there products from the Time Travelers U.S. History Studies for grades 3-8. We were given the World War II study from this set to try out. This study contains 25 lessons that you can spread out over 5-10 weeks. It covers a decade of changes in American history at we enter World War II. Some of the topics covered in this study are The Rise of Hitler, Italian/German/Japanese occupations, battlers between the Axis and Allies, the Holocaust, the American Homefront, Victory over Japan day and Victory in Europe Day, as well as some of the events that happened immediately after the war.

The girls have been reading a little about WWII after watching a movie about Midway. I thought this study from Home School in the Woods would be a great way to start learning about what happened and why America got involved in WWII. This is a printable/downloadable product so be ready to use up some paper and some ink. Some items you will need that we did not have on hand were transparency sheets and file folders. You will also need glue, scissors, markers or something to color with.
It comes with a lesson plan or schedule which I love because I don't have to figure out what to do when. I chose to print everything organize it and put it all in a binder. Make sure you turn off two sided printing for this because some things may need to be cut out and then your missing half the information that was on the other side. We learned this lesson the hard way. Because of the grade range on this product the girls were able to do this study together. I believe this product was originally designed so that you child is making a lapbook with file folders. How ever we modified and put everything in a small binder because we didn't have any file folders.
I have included some pictures of a few of the activities and projects we did in this lesson. Over all I was impressed with the amount of information this lesson gives your child. I think its designed in a way that is easy for a student in this age range to understand. How ever if you child doesn't like to color or cut and glue this might be a little much for them. The girls did good with coloring the different activities but they quickly got over having to cut so much out after just a few projects. I ended up having to help them cut out a number of the activities. They enjoyed the language bingo game and we have played it a few times now. Penmanship is also covered in many of the lessons and the girls really enjoyed the penmanship lessons. I loved the choice of quotes they used for the penmanship lessons. Some of the quotes are from General Eisenhower, Adolf Hitler, LT. General Lewis Chesty Puller, Captain Henry P. Jim Crowe, Anne Frank. Your child has the option of tracing the dashed lines of the quote or writing it free hand. Social Media Links:

Math Galaxy Review
Disclaimer: I received a FREE copy of this product through the HOMESCHOOL REVIEW CREW in exchange for my honest review. I was not required to write a positive review nor was I compensated in any other way.

We are have been using a new math product by Math Galaxy you can find the website here http://www.mathgalaxy.com/. They offer Math App's in different grade levels for Apple devices. Math Galaxy offers a wide selection of grade levels.
3rd Grade Math
4th Grade Math
5th Grade Math
6th Grade Math
7th Grade Math
8th Grade Math
Pre-Algebra Fundamentals
Algebra Fundamentals
Fraction & Decimal Riddles
Whole Number Riddles
Times Tables Balloon Pop
Whole Numbers Balloon Pop
Word Problems Fun
Zombie Numbers
Math Galaxy teaches students concepts sequentially and interactively. It works on concepts that run through basic math to provide students with a basic understanding instead of memorized rules. Math Galaxy's goal is to give students a foundation for analytical thinking. They also offer several different ebooks that I will tell you about below.

We tried out the 5th grade app as well as the 7th grade app both are currently $4.99 on the app store. As far as pricing go its fair enough.
The 7th grade app was used by my oldest. This app covers a lot of topics for 7th grade math all of which are common core standards. Some of the items covered are rational and signed numbers, linear equations, ratios & proportions, area, surface area, statistical thinking, ratios and proportions, Converting units, percents, fractions, negative number word problems etc. This app gives students information in small manageable chunks then it gives them an unlimited amount of practice problems. We have yet to get the same practice problem twice which means the kids are actually learning how to do the problem and not just memorizing the answers. The app also uses illustrations to help your child visualize the problem they are working on. When your child does problems they earn robots which they can then use in a game called Labyrinth.
The other Math Galaxy app we tried out was the 5th grade app $4.99 in the app store. This app covers a huge amount of common core math standards. Like the 7th grade app it presents concepts in small easy to manage chunks with lots and lots of practice problems. Some of the common core math standards that this app m
eets are:
Place value, regrouping, comparing decimals, multiplying and dividing whole numbers, addition and subtractions, adding subtracting and multiplying fractions, measurement etc. There are several games on this app to help them practice: Riddles that helps with length, area, volume and time. Labyrinth where you use a robot to search mazes for treasure. Bridge the Swamp covers adding subtracting, dividing fraction and multiplication.
Both girls were felt like the activities were ok and they seemed to pick up a few things that they were having trouble with on there regular math program. How ever they were frustrated with the games that both apps provided. They felt like Labyrinth was to complicated and I'm not sure they ever figured out how to really play it. The money trail game on the 5th grade app was boring for her, she reported that they did not need to actually count the money to be able to win they could just count the number of dots and then alternate turns with the computer to be sure they made the last move. We used these apps on an iPhone 6S and the girls felt like the buttons were to small on that size of screen. So I would recommend using the app on something bigger like and Ipad.
We also received a couple of downloadable ebooks. We tried the Pre-Algebra Fun ebook and the Math Galaxy Whole number bundle. We chose these two because they fit some of the things the girls are currently working on. Both workbooks are printable books and they have color. Our printer is black and white only so our pages are a tad boring.
The Pre-Algebra Fun ebook is a tutorial for middle school students. It gives students explanations and plenty of practice. Current pricing is $9.95 which is fair for the number of pages that you get.
The second ebook we tried out was the Math Galaxy Whole Numbers Fun ebook. It covers hole number operations, time, money, area, length, volume, pictographs, bar graphs, probability. Its fits grades 1-4. Current pricing is $9.95. This book is also done in color.
The girls were on the fence about the workbooks. They said the pages where they already knew how to do the problems were good but the pages that had problems they had never done before didn't have enough "how to". The sections of the workbooks that we have done gave us a puzzle book feel which one child enjoyed and the other thought was boring. Over all I feel as though the workbooks offer great supplemental practice and cover a wide variety of topics for each grade level. But I don't believe these would be a good stand alone because of the lack of explanation and I don't see there being enough content in them to to last an entire school year.

David C Cook The Action Bible Anytime Devotions Review

Disclaimer: I received a FREE copy of this product through the HOMESCHOOL REVIEW CREW in
exchange for my honest review. I was not required to write a positive review nor was I compensated in any other way.
I was given the chance to try out The Action Bible Anytime Devotions by David C Cook. The book can be purchased at https://www.amazon.com/Action-Bible-Anytime-Devotions-
Anywhere/dp/0830778985/ref=sr_1_2?. You can also visit the David C Cook's website here https://davidccook.org/. This is a devotional designed just for kids. Its filled with 90 different devotions that cover topics that kids may encounter in daily life. Topics such as honesty, anger, listening, fear and many more. The simple prayers are easy for kids to understand and remember so when they face challenging choices in life they can fall back on lessons learned in this devotional.The girls started reading this devotional a few days a week before bed. We like how the table of contents is written. The table of contents is broken down by chapter and verse but it also gives your child a suggestion for when they might need the verse. Some examples are "Like Whenever you fear (trust)- Jeremiah 17:7-8", "When There's a Bully (Hope)- 1 Samuel 86:5-7", When You need a Plan( Trust)- Jeremiah 29:11-13, When you feel like hiding (Courage)-Genesis 3:8-9, When you are lonely(Love)-Genesis 1:27. By having the table of contents broken down this way it allows the girls to zero in on a topic they might be having trouble with.
I really let the girls just explore this book and choose the chapters that they felt drawn to.The girls went straight to the - When There's a Bully chapter. I thought they chose this chapter because Little Bit has had some trouble with a boy in her martial arts class. This chapter is based on Samuel 86:5-7. The other chapter they seemed most drawn to is the Whenever you fear(trust)- Jeremiah 17:7-8. The chapters are only a couple of pages long so the girls have time to fit these devotionals in between activities or before bed. Each chapter gives the child a story to relate to then has some examples of Bible stories with a similar problem. It then helps children to apply it to their situation. Giving them some suggestions or advice on ways to handle it. They are also given a guided prayer to practice. Which the girls found helpful when they were unable to find the words. Lastly each chapter gives them a Take it Farther suggestion. This tells them where they can find other stories in The Action Bible that might relate to the same or similar theme that encourage readers and praise God.We describe the illustrations in this book as comic book style which seems to be poplar with kids in this age range. The girls are very much into art and drawing at the moment felt like they were very detailed illustrations and were pleased to see that they were not outdated pictures. We took a look at who the illustrator was and discovered he has illustrated some of the girls favorite Marvel Comics and DC Comics. The girls like to discuss what they think is happening in the illustrations before beginning the lesson. Then as they progress through the lesson they will discuss what the illustration is actually depicting.
Over all this is a great affordable anytime devotional. I love that its easy for them to relate to and that they can read and understand it on there own. The illustrations are top notch and we look forward to finishing up this great little devotional.
