Hi - Thanks for wanting to share your ideas & comments! I love hearing what others have to say, but just so that everyone is aware, I have the right and option to decide to post a comment or not. Foul language, inappropriate comments, lashing out at the world, or posting irrelevant ad links are a few reasons why posts may be rejected. My daughter & her friends like to frequently see what is being posted so therefore I would like to keep it clean.
I also have a tendency to reject "Anonymous" posts as I feel the content is not verifiable, therefore is often either irrelevant or not viable.
If your comment has been accepted - it will generally appear in less than 24 hours! Thanks Gina
I love hands on stuff. They learn so much by doing.
ReplyDeleteThat is so awesome. Physics is my favorite science.
ReplyDeleteMy kids are in love with the KNex thrill ride kits. My oldest son had a ferris wheel and small roller coaster, and just last week I found the swings and octopus rides on clearance at WalMart. The kids enjoy putting together all of the gears and having a motor to put them all in motion!
ReplyDeleteI was super lucky and found their giant roller coaster set, normally $300, at a thrift store for $16. It is 3x6 feet and stands about 3 foot high!
Oh well, I just wanted to share what my kids are currently in love with. They are 9, 11, and 13 and we have been homeschooling for 3 years now.
