Planet 316 Story Bible {Crew Review}

by

Last year we reviewed Planet 316 and WorthyKids/Ideals Daily Bible Jigsaw app and we loved it!  You can read that review here: Daily Bible Jigsaw.  This year we were asked to review the Planet 316 Story Bible and the companion Planet 316 Story Bible App.  They are amazing!
I chose this review because I thought it was something that Jack and Laycie would love.  We love reading Bible stories together and I’m always looking for new books that share God’s love with them.  The cover of the Planet 316 Story Bible is adorable.
The cover features different Bible characters from the stories shared throughout this beautifully designed Bible for children.  The back of the Bible shows you how to bring the Bible to life with images that explain how to use the app along with the Bible.
The Planet 316 Story Bible begins with a dedication page like most Bibles.  It contains more than 100 beautifully designed Bible stories inside it’s semi-glossy pages.  In the front, you will find a note to parents and another page sharing about the companion Planet 316 Story Bible App.  There is a full Table of Contents so you can easily locate any Bible story favorite you and your child may have.  Then begins the Old Testament with a brightly colored image sharing several stories from this section of the Bible.
Creation, Noah’s Ark, the story of Moses are all included in the Old Testament.  The imagery is gorgeous and the characters are adorable.  This Bible is designed for you children to truly enjoy.
The New Testament follows with the story of Jesus’ Birth, the miracles he performed, and his Resurrection.  All the favorite stories you could wish to share with your little ones.  In the back of the Bible, there is a People, Places, and Things in the Bible reference for you and your child that is helpful to find things you may be looking for within the stories.  This is a great asset for when you can’t recall the name of the story but know what it contains.
The companion Planet 316 Story Bible App is available for Apple products and for Google as well.  It opens to an instructions page that shows you how to use the app.  It’s really quite simple to use.  You turn on the app, scan the image from the Bible with your device and the pages just come to life.  Each page pops up with a 3D image from the page that shows action and movement as you view it.  This augmented reality makes reading the Bible fun and exciting for children.

We really LOVE our Planet 316 Story Bible and have already recommended it to many others.  The stories are fun to read.  Jack loves reading this Bible nightly now. 
The Planet 316 Story Bible from Planet 316 and WorthyKids/Ideals is available for $18.99 US.  The Planet 316 Story Bible App is a free download that works along with the Planet 316 Story Bible. This would make a great addition to any children’s library.

Watchman Pictures: Princess Cut {Crew Review}

by

Watchman Pictures provided us with a copy of their movie, Princess Cut.  This is a beautiful movie that families really should watch and enjoy together.  It’s approximately 97 minutes in length and just overall one of the best movies I have seen in a long time.
Princess Cut shares the story of Grace and her family, The Andersons.  It’s a young woman’s journey to respect God and find love in today’s world.  Today we are often pushed to do things we otherwise would not.  Things like kissing before we are ready, becoming intimate, living together before marriage.  Things that often lead to heartbreak.
Princess Cut focuses on saving yourself for marriage and developing yourself in the meantime while you wait on God to provide for your life and marriage.  Through the movie, you see Grace get her heartbroken by the guy she thought was right for her.  She then meets Jared, a cocky young man who thinks he knows best and tries to push Grace into a deeper, physical relationship.  Grace faces feelings of regret and feeling she’s let her family and God down through the pressure her relationship with Jared provides. 
But God has a plan for Grace and her future.  Grace meets the new doctor in town, a true man of God who seeks a relationship with her by gaining her parents blessing before moving forward.  Clint has nothing but respect for Grace and her beliefs.  He allows God to lead them, allowing God to show them if marriage is for them or not and allowing them to remain friends if their relationship doesn’t work out.
There are other twists and turns along the way.  Clint’s ex-girlfriend comes in to win him back.  The Anderson family’s farm is having challenges.  The family faces some obstacles themselves.  But through it all there faith in God shines. 
This is one movie you must add to your home collection so you can watch it again and again.  I promise you’ll love it as much as my family has.  There’s so many lessons to glean from the movie itself.  It’s just a beautiful movie overall.
Set in NC, this movie made me miss our previous home.  The beauty of the Farms are undeniable.  The scenery is gorgeous and only adds to the enjoyment of the movie overall.
And if you’re looking for a way to teach your children how to go about finding true love, this movie can be a wonderful help with that.  So encouraging to not see a beautiful girl having an advanced relationship that should be saved for her husband.  Such a wonderful lesson for young women and men alike.
You can purchase Princess Cut from Watchman Pictures for $9.99.

Memoria Press: Traditional Spelling I {Crew Review}

by

Many years ago, when I began with the Homeschool Review Crew, I was introduced to Memoria Press.  I remember receiving that package and being a little intimidated and overwhelmed by the product we received as that first time user of this curriculum.  I didn’t know what to expect or what I was even doing.  But the setup of Memoria Press made educating with their materials super easy. 
When this review came up, we were given several things to choose from so that choice is always tough.  This time, I decided to go with something specifically for Laycie.  I chose Traditional Spelling I.  This is a phonetic approach to learning to spell.  It is intended for Grades 1-2 and those learning to spell.  There is also a Traditional Spelling II for students in grades 2-3 as they finish this course.
Laycie is a very hands-on, auditory learner.  Things that rhyme or are musical just make more sense to her.  Seeing it on paper bores her out of her mind.  She thrives on fun and excitement.  Even though, Traditional Spelling I is a little more formal that we usually use, it’s been a great introduction to formal education for her, yet still fun enough to keep her wanting to continue learning with it.

What We Received:

Each of these work together to create a full spelling curriculum for your child.

Classical Phonics: A Child’s Guide to Word Mastery by Cheryl Lowe

This little book is a wonder of itself.  We have used it for years now as an introduction to phonics so I was happy to see it included for this program.  It’s a great way to get your child started with learning the ABC’s and then spelling.  It relates words to things your child can understand.  It’s simple in format so that it engages your child but doesn’t overwhelm them. 
This book is broken into four parts and eight total units, with an appendix at the end.  Part one covers short-vowel words.  Part two covers  long-vowel words.  Part 3 covers 10 More Vowel Sounds.  Part 4 is about Advanced Phonics.  The appendix covers phonics rules and spelling, common words and offers suggestions for teachers.  It’s a complex book that covers so much within the pages.

Traditional Spelling I Student Book

This is the student workbook.  It comes with spiral binding so it can lay flat as you use it.  It is 146 pages with 34 lessons included, as well as a dictionary in the back.  Throughout you fill find Phonic Focus tips.  There are spelling lists that build as you go through the lessons.  Each lesson contains 10 words.
Each lesson is formatted so the student is writing the words and learning to define the differences in the words.  Lessons are around 4 pages long.  They also encourage reading and sentence development through the use of the program.  Dictation is another included element for each lesson. 
The dictionary in the back of the book is easy to read and follow.  It contains the words that are taught throughout the lessons in the book.  The words are broken down by letter.  They do not include breaking down the words for speech or their parts of speech, only the word itself with the definition.
The format is the same throughout the book for each lesson.  It is very easy for your student and you to follow and each page flows into the other.  You could set this up as one page a day for your student or have your student work through two pages on one day and two on another.  The book is designed for one student to use. 

Traditional Spelling I Teacher Manual

This is the Teacher’s Guide Manual for the program.  It includes 34 lessons, a dictionary and appendix for the teacher.  It is 179 pages in length and comes with a spiral binding that lays flat. 
After the Table of Contents, there is a general overview of the lessons.  This section explains how to prepare for the lessons.  How to set up your lessons through the week.  It suggests a 5 day plan with definitions and word study on day one.  Phonics Flashcards and worksheet suggestions for Day 2 and 3.  Dictation on day 4.  And a final test on day 5.  This is followed by a sample lesson plan to give you an idea of how to utilize this curriculum and make it work best.
Lesson 1 begins as an actual lesson plan, providing an introduction for you to use with your students if you choose, then jumping right into the lesson itself.  There are fun suggestions throughout that also help you to further develop this curriculum for your student.  Things like writing words on strips for sentences or writing the words with letters missing to find the missing sounds in the words.  There are many, many ideas provided throughout the book for that.
The dictionary in the back is set up just like the on in the student guide.  It’s divided by letter.  There’s no breakdown of the word or suggestion of part of speech.  It simply gives the word and the definition used by the lesson itself. 
The teacher’s guide does include an Appendix in the back that contains a spelling test form, spelling review games, spelling rules reference sheets, common English contractions, phonics overview, and a colorful letters key.  This is designed to help you to build better spelling skills for your student in the simplest way possible.  It is very easy to use.
The spelling test is simple.  It allows space for name and date.  This is followed by space for the 10 words from each lesson.  And a space at the bottom for sentence dictation and copywork. 
The Spelling Review Games contains an area for individual games and group games.  Things like ABC order, sentence writing, tracing, using scrabble for spelling, playing concentration with words, connect the dots and so much more are provided.  Such fun ways to learn to spell.
The spelling rules sheets are designed in larger font so that you can use it in a classroom setting with your student.  Rules like 1-1-1 and the drop rule are covered here.  Many others as well.
The phonics overview is a review provided for the teacher themselves.  It helps you recall what the sounds are, how to say them correctly, and what are vowels and consonants.  Phonograms and more are included in this section of the appendix.  It’s just a great gathering of a multitude of things related to spelling and reading as well.
There is a short guide to the Phonics Rules and Spelling Rules as well that is located in the Appendix.  These are followed by the Colorful Letters Key which lists all the words for each lesson and breaks them down phonetically for you.  This key shows short and long vowels with color, silent letters and helps with speech.

Spelling Practice Sheets for use with Traditional Spelling I 

This is a 37 page practice work book that includes a practice sheet for each lesson in the program.  It is thin like a coloring book and designed in black and white which is easy to see and follow.  Each page has a lesson header, features the adorable Owl used throughout the program, and has a place for the students name.  This is followed by the list of words for the student to practice writing.  This is a wonderful addition for the program.

Phonics Flashcards

This is a HUGE stack of flashcards just for phonics.  They are well designed and sturdy.  They are each in black and white which makes them less distracting and easy to learn with.  Clear with a large font for lessons.

How We Used It

Of course, we were not able to complete this program during the review period but we were able to get a great feel for it.  You can tweak the program to fit you and your student but it’s really designed to be followed as is and it’s really easy to do that.  We began the program with a review of the phonics book provided which took about a week for us since we’ve used the book previously.
I simply followed along the program as it directed with Laycie.  We played games to learn.  We did the simple and easy worksheets.  This was really easy for her.  We created songs with the words that she sings daily now.  The flashcards were fun for her too.  She likes using those with her baby brother as well.
We did not do everything suggested in the book but we did work through most of the suggestions.  Some days she was just too distracted to follow what we were doing.  Other days, she was focused and able to stay the course.  This is a challenge in her learning but this course actually helped because it wasn’t too intensive for us to follow or pick back up as we went along.

Homeschool Diploma {Crew Review}

by

Here is something I bet many of you did not know about Homeschoolers: You can graduate and you can issue a full diploma to your student.  Homeschool Diploma can help you make this happen.  They provide you with everything you need for your Homeschool Grad.  They offer a full package with Cap, Gown, Tassel and Personalized Diploma.  We were also able to receive a copy of the standard diploma, a Laminated Wallet Diploma, and a Pre-Stamped Diploma Cover as well. 
It is hard for me to believe that we are at the point of Graduation already but my 17 year old is almost grown.  It’s hard on a Momma’s heart to see the years pass so quickly by.  As homeschoolers, we don’t do things like Public Schoolers most days but I did want him to have something to commemorate this experience as well as a real diploma to show he did his schooling through the years.
This child has been such a joy to raise and love.  I want nothing but the best for him and that included for his Cap, Gown, Tassel and Diploma.  Homeschool Diploma was more than we could ever have wished for.
You order online with ease through their professionally designed website.  The process is very easy.  There are so many choices to make as you decide what you want for your Cap, Gown, Tassel and Personalized Diploma package.

Personalized Diploma

First, let’s talk about the Personalized Diploma.  I was able to choose between a smaller, standard sized diploma and the larger size.  In the beginning, I chose the smaller size but after designing I asked to switch to the larger format.  This was easily done, even after submitting, by emailing the company right away.  They were happy to change it for us.

They also offer a Standard Diploma that does not come with all these bells and whistles but is just as nice as the Personalized Diploma.

There are so many options to choose from for your diploma.  First, you’ll need to choose a School Name to represent your Homeschool.  Some states require a school name while others do not.  Our state does not so we decided to create a new one.  It took a few days but our family finally decided upon Ocean Mountain Academy.  We chose this because my children have been educated from the Ocean to the Mountains during our time homeschooling.  For us, it means a lot.
There are many elements to the process of creating the diploma.  You can choose to make a standard school diploma that looks much like a Public School diploma.  You can choose to develop a diploma that contains many elements that point towards your child having been homeschooled in the phrasing.  For us, I chose to create a Christian based diploma that represents our style of education, as well as our hopes for the future.
My son’s diploma says:
With thanks to God and acknowledgement of his enabling grace,
we joyfully present
NAME
With this diploma.  It is the culmination of twelve years of home education,
a milestone at which we recognize his many accomplishments, and evidence
that he has fulfilled all requirements for graduation. 
It is followed with the date we have chosen for his graduation which has not happened yet.
Additionally, I was able to choose a Bible verse or a quote to add to our diploma. 
I chose a Bible verse:
“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”  Jeremiah 29:11
I was able to choose between having  two names listed as the signature line like a Public School diploma or to list one name and the date.  There were several options for this. I chose to list Instructor on the left and the Date on the right since I have been the main educator throughout my children’s lives.
In between these, I was able to choose a seal.  There were also several options for this from embossing, a foil seal and a colorful foiled seal.  Different seals were available and I chose the one I felt represented us best.  I chose a gold and blue seal with a cross and crown in the middle that states Soli Deo Gloria: To God Alone Be The Glory.  You can also choose an Honors foil seal.
I love my son’s diploma and can hardly wait to create my daughters because this process was simple and fun.  Additionally, I was able to order a second diploma in case something happens to the original, as well as a Laminated Wallet Diploma.  The second diploma is formatted exactly as the first.

Pre-Stamped Diploma Cover

Our Personalized Diploma also came with a Pre-Stamped Diploma Cover.  I was a little disappointed that the cover was limited on color options but I’m happy with it in the end.  I choose a solid black cover for my son’s diploma.  
The Diploma cover also come with multiple options to choose from.  I choose to place a replica of the seal on the diploma on the cover. This replica is simply gold embossing that fits the style of the rest of the embossing on the cover.
I also had our School Name, Ocean Mountain Academy added to the cover and my son’s full name is written at the bottom right corner.  I love how beautifully this turned out.  It truly stands out and is beautiful.

Cap, Gown and Tassel

The next step in the diploma process was choosing our Cap, Gown and Tassel.  I knew immediately, if it was available, we wanted purple.  Purple is my son’s favorite color, it’s my daughter’s favorite color and it’s the color for Epilepsy.  Purple means a great deal to our family. 
 I’m thankful that Purple was indeed one of the color options.  I chose a length I felt would work for my son and hit submit.  The selection process for this was just as easy as the rest.
The Tassel also had many options available.  We could choose various colors, or even two colors.  I asked the kids what they wanted for their graduation tassel and together they chose purple only.  We were also able to chose between a silver and a gold 2018 charm.  They chose silver.

Other Options Available

There are so many options available at Homeschool Diploma.  You can order a class ring.  You can order additional graduation jewelry.  You can order mugs, shirts, picture frames.  Almost anything that you can order for a public school homeschooler, you will find on Homeschool Diploma’s website.  Honors accessories are also available to be purchased.

Creation Illustrated {Crew Review}

by

Creation Illustrated asked us to review two Unit Studies this year: Snow Unit Study and Pine Trees.  They also have new Digital Editions of their magazine that these go with for expanding learning.  They are the Fall ’17 Digital Edition and the Winter ’18 Digital Edition.   They were a lot of fun to work through.


We were introduced to Creation Illustrated a few years ago through the Homeschool Review Crew when we reviewed physical editions of their magazine.  These editions were beautifully designed and full of wonderful, educational information.  Their digital editions are just as wonderful as their print editions are.  And best of all, they are Creation based so they show nature through a Christian perspective.

You can read our previous review here: Creation Illustrated 2012 Review

For purposes of this review, we were given access to the Creation Illustrated Fall ’17 Digital Edition and the Creation Illustrated Winter ’18 Digital Edition along with the unit studies that go along with these editions. 


The Creation Illustrated Fall ’17 Digital Edition goes along with the Pine Trees unit study.  Information for the study begins on page 8-9 of the Fall ’17 Digital Edition.  The study is designed for grades 5-8.

The study begins by sharing information on reading and educational resources to use with the study.  Next you’ll find a selection of links to Educational Videos that can also be used along with the study.  Next, you learn a bit about the history of the word “Pine” followed by a list of related vocabulary words and spelling words.


The study includes a Bible study on Pine Trees as well.  I found this very interesting.  Did you know that Fir trees do not grow in Palestine?  I didn’t before this study!

This study includes Geography, Science, and even Math.  It has a little of everything so you get a full learning experience.  The study ends with a word search on Pines.

This study is designed to be easy to use.  It is easy to get started and work through.  You could use it with a younger child if you’re guiding them or with an older child as a review.  We used it all together.



The Snow Unit Study goes along with the Creation Illustrated Winter ’18 Digital Edition.  You will find the information related to this study beginning on pages 20-21.  The images are outstanding.

The Snow Unit Study follows the same design as the Pine Trees unit study.  It begins with related information and videos, followed with important vocabulary and spelling.  I like that these start out with the important words to know so it makes it easy to cover these before you work through the full study if you wish to.


This study also covers relation to the Bible.  Did you know that the word “Snow” appears 24 times in the Bible?  I sure did not!

Both of these unit studies end with the answer keys so you can find the answers easily as well.

The BEST part of these Unit Studies is that they are so CHEAP.  They are both priced at $9.95 each but they are currently available for $6.95 each.  That’s a 30% discount!

Creation Illustrated offers both Digital Editions and Print Editions for purchase.  You can also subscribe for future magazines to be delivered right to your door.  These magazines are beautiful and will bring you much joy.

    Carole P. Roman Books {Crew Review}

    by

    Carole P. Roman is one of our absolute favorite authors.  We were introduced to the amazingly wonderful Carole P. Roman Books and Collections many years ago through the Homeschool Review Crew.  Every single book we’ve been blessed to read from Carole has been absolutely outstanding!
    For this review, we were allowed to choose three of her many books.  I always try to choose things that go along with what we’re learning about or are specifically for Laycie and Jack since they are our youngest children.  This go round, I chose the following:
    I chose If You Were Me And Lived In Scotland because I have been searching for titles that specifically teach about Scotland.  I have found that most books focus on Great Britain or Ireland but I wasn’t able to find as many as I hoped on Scotland specifically.   Recently, while tracing our family tree, I have found that we are heavily Scot on both my father’s and my mother’s sides so for me it’s very important that my children learn about this culture so they can learn more about the history of their ancestors.  I love relating our history to our real history.
    We were not unfamiliar with the If You Were Me And Lived In series because we reviewed this series from Carole when she first developed and released the series several years ago.  I knew this series was simply awesome and would teach the kids a lot about Scotland and it’s people.  It didn’t let me down.
    Through the book, we learned what we may have been named had we been born in Scotland.  We learned that Unicorns are the official animal of Scotland.  We learned a bit about Nessie and Loch Ness.  We learned about traditional foods served in Scotland, some of which we actually tried during the week of St. Patrick’s Day.  Golf was developed in Scotland and the Highland Games.  We look forward to visiting our local Scottish Festival this summer and will briefly review this book before we go.
    We learned so much from If You Were Me And Lived In Scotland.  It was perfect for our short study on the culture.  Carole never let’s me down with this series.
    Last year we reviewed Fribbet the Frog and the Tadpoles.  Jack absolutely LOVED Fribbet and his story so I knew this year I wanted to review another of Carole’s amazing Captain No Beard series.  I chose Pepper Parrot’s Problem with Patience because sometimes Jack has a little trouble with being patient.  As the baby of the family, you can bet he’s the most spoiled and loved little boy there is, so I thought this book would provide a great lesson for him.  And it has.
    A few weeks before we received this book for review, Jack decided he wanted to makeover his bed with a Pirate theme.  I purchased a wooden wheel, a spy glass in a box, a large pirate flag and an a wooden anchor which we painted and hung with a rope on his bed frame.  I also got him his very own Parrot.  Jack loves it!  And he loved reading Pepper Parrot’s Problem with Patience while snuggling in his pirate bed with his Parrot.
    Captain No Beard is the captain of the Flying Dragon.  He has one crazy crew of all kinds of characters that help him out, including Fribbet the Frog and his cousin, Hallie.  In this book, Captain No Beard adds Pepper to his crew, making Pepper the crew’s cook.  Maybe that wasn’t such a good idea considering the Parrot is named Pepper.  But maybe Pepper has her name for another reason.
    Pepper has quite the temper.  She’s actually a little fire cracker and that temper isn’t the greatest thing ever.  But with the crew’s help, Pepper realizes she doesn’t need to get upset or angry and she can learn to have patience just like everyone else.
    This story was so adorable.  Jack truly loved it and he talks about the characters all the time.  We look forward to reading more Captain No Beard stories like Pepper Parrot’s Problem with Patience in the future.

    Oh Susannah is a relatively new series from Carole P. Roman.  Last year, Laycie and I read Oh Susannah: It’s In The Bag and we fell in love with Susannah and her crazy life.  Susannah is someone Laycie can really relate to so when this review came up, I knew I’d choose another book from this series for Laycie and I to read.
    Oh Susannah: Things That Go Bump was just as silly and fun as the first book we read from the series.  Susannah is always having a rough time, usually of her own making.  This time around, Susannah is invited to a dear friend’s house for the friend’s birthday.  Susannah really wants to go but she’s afraid.  She just knows that her friend’s house is haunted.  Her friend’s little brother has told her so.  Susannah isn’t too sure she wants to see a ghost!
    Susannah some how finds the courage to face her fear and finds that she has the BEST time at her friend’s house.  Friendship helps her overcome her fears and Susannah learns not to be afraid.  She also learns that little brothers are sometimes annoying and sometimes great.
    Oh Susannah: Things That Go Bump is a new favorite of mine and Laycie’s.  She and I enjoyed reading this one together.  We look forward to reading more from this series.
    Carole P. Roman is one of the best children’s authors I have reviewed for.  She truly loves the work she does and it shows greatly.  She’s an inspiration and blessing to all who know her.

    The cost of these books is in a range between $5 and $10.  Nothing too expensive.  They are also available in Kindle versions.
