Hands-On Fun with STEM Lessons & Challenges from Evan-Moor
I will be the first to admit that STEM is not my favorite area to teach. If you were to ask me which subjects I do not excel at, I would tell you, Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math…STEM! Give me all the books, grammar, art, and writing…I love it! However, these kiddos of mine…LOVE STEM! I am going to assume that this is a prime example of their engineer fathers’ DNA peeking its head through! So, for me to be able to find a book that can walk them through hands-on experiments with little help from me…I am thrilled. STEM Lessons & Challenges from Evan-Moor is just that book…and I…

Our Review of Evan-Moor Skill Sharpeners Science Grade 4
I am so excited to be reviewing Evan-Moor Skill Sharpeners Science Grade 4! As a homeschooling Mama of 3 kiddos, I am always on the lookout for lessons that I can teach as a whole group! There just aren’t enough hours in the day to create individual instruction in EVERY subject! Some subjects lend themselves much better to group instruction than others…and science just happens to be one of those! Confession time? Science is NOT my strong suit. If I could teach History, Geography, and Reading ALL day, I would do it in a heartbeat! It’s not that I don’t love science, or find it fascinating…it just isn’t my area of…
