Illustrated Biography meets Physics in the Latest Book from The Kitchen Pantry Scientist
My friends, there may have been an audible squeal of delight when I opened my latest review box from Quarto Kids. OK, maybe there is always a squeal when I open review boxes from Quarto…but this was an extra squealy squeal. Why? Well, because I immediately saw the corner of a book that I had been hoping, wishing, and waiting for. Physics for Kids is the latest installment of The Kitchen Pantry Scientist and I was so stoked. I have shared about this series before and am delighted to report that this installment is just as fab as the others. Illustrated Biography meets Physics and it is perfection! Let’s check…

(I would like to thank Teaching Textbooks for sponsoring this post. I was given free access to Teaching Textbooks for my children and compensated for my time. As always, all thoughts and opinions are my own.) Let’s talk MATH! That little four-letter word can cause so many homeschool parents a whole lot of stress.

History Quest-Early Times – An Amazing and Fully Secular History Curriculum!
History is hands-down my very favorite subject to teach and learn. But, it hasn’t always been that way. When I was in school, many moons ago, history was my most dreaded subject. Why? It was boring! I had teachers who droned on and then handed out worksheets to fill out. They didn’t share amazing literature, hands-on projects, or exciting videos. It was just dull. Well, all of that has changed, my friends. This year my kids and I have had the opportunity to use History Quest- Early Times and it has been absolutely amazing. I am so excited to share with you all of the things that we have loved.…
