We did that last summer for the very first time. I didn’t realize it was time to sign up again, thanks for sharing!

Great idea! I HATE lugging out my big blender– might have to look into one!

WE have used it a couple days now and are loving it. It is super quick and easy to clean. We have tried quite a few different smoothies and have really liked them. My husband has even been mixing spinach and almonds along with his fruit!

I just saw this advertised recently, It looked like a great product. I’d be interested to hear what you think of it.

We have been using Spelling City off and on for years and really like it. I especially like that their are word lists on there to go along with literature.

This has been a great addition to our homeschool. The reading/spelling program that I use with her teaches words by similar sounds/pictures. So I make up vocabulary lists using similar sounds/pictures. This has been a great tool to use for spelling. I also create a different vocabulary list from her reading book to help with comprehension.
With my high school kids, I have used this for our Apologia science. I create a list using the science terminology in the unit they are currently studying. They will use it to do the sentence and definition match-it games. It’s an excellent resource to help me see how much they are retaining from their independent reading. If I see they score low, then I review the lesson with them before giving them the Apologia unit test.

We love the site…sure makes things more fun and easier to incorporate into the schedule. We especially use the site for the vocabulary section with my high school student.

They have training videos available to help you learn to navigate a little easier.

They also have an app now!
