Thank you for that tip!  I just requested a copy of one of the books from the series, from the library to see if my 5 yr old will like it before I buy it. 
For those in the US, Amazon carries it and out of 8 reviews it got 5 stars.

Thanks again,
Ana

Hi Again

I was wondering if anyone is/was having trouble with the web site My Wonder Studio as post by Skylark?  I went to 0-5 and click on Nov 14, Bright Peddles,  I am getting: a security error loading document in the grey box .  Should I not be concerned with that?  Below that where the download is I can get that.

Thanks Ana

Hi, 

I happened to pick up a coloring book  at a garage sale, which as far as coloring books go I love because I feel it has great detail.  It's called: The Bible coloring book picutres from the old and new testments, by Creative Child Press.

I also picked up two dvds from Nest  entertainment ( which someone mention) via ebay to see if my kids like them, which they do. 

I have a Positive Action Bible Cirriculum, agian picked it up on ebay, what I like about it are the story they have made up to help children apply to every day life situations.

Enjoy,
Ana

As a homeschooling  mother of two little ones, I am always looking for various resources to use in our day to day teaching.  As many of you know little ones have short attention spans, well some, and therefore in my household we like to use different things at different times.

I enjoy You-Tube just for this reason and just now in the past half an hour  stumbled upon a new "tube" sight.   

www.teachertube.com

I have not surf it enough to know offer much advise but thought I would post for others to surf and input.

WOW
OK, I will take baby steps
Thank you for the detailed response I will read it over and over to help guide myself. 
As for my daughter I do feel she has a caring music teacher so we will go on her guidance as I learn to adjust to my own music talent 
    As a matter of fact I did buy a book series with song/cd  by Dr. Jean, www.teachertube.com and we did it today. 
My kids love music as my husband and I do.
I did sign up and received the book with I read and now l look forward to your newsletters.  


  Thank you again,
Anna

Oh thank you Chris ,  I read your blog on tips for parents with little or no experience:

I am one of those parents when I sing or attempt to teaching singing BIRDS DROP OUT OF THE SKY, poor things

I want to help my children develop a ear for tone not be tone deaf like myself 

I do have 2 questions though:  I did sign my daugher (5) up for singing lessons.  How do I know if she is picking up the correct tones, and ihow can I tell one music teacher from another?  Does that make sense?

Thanks Ana

Hello,

I've lived in Michigan for most of my life.  I am an on and off "user" of Brillkids and do enjoy it.  Where are you currently?  We are in Fenton.

thanks for the info.  just ordered it myself.  great to pop in when we're on a trip for something different and educational.

HI,

    I was wondering if anyone has used Jolly Phonics and how they liked it.  I know the program is UK based but can be bought in the US from website. 

I was looking at purchasing  1 or 2 of the dvd's and 7 book unit to start.  I have found the vidoes on youtube and they seems fun for the kids.
Looking to use it with my 3 yr old and just reinforcment with my 5yr.
  Any information would be helpful.

Thanks
Ana

Kizudo,
I like  your idea!  this would work well with my son who love anything boyish.  Learning while driving... way safer than texting :

Another thing I may do is buy some cheap little matchbox cars from our 2nd hand store and paint a little shape on the roof of each car. Then, just like daddy has to do at work,  my son can drive (match) the car to it's parking stall (a paper with stalls marked with the different shapes)...I suppose if this works we could change it to colours and numbers later...

Thanks for the Sheppard site, my son is three and I think this would be perfect for him.  I personally have not found a site for him that he likes.

Thank you for sharing, the site should come in handy.

Thank you .  I did get chance to look at the web site and am currently considering ordering LM.  I do happen to  have two recorders and am using one of the videos you posted about how to learn to play the recorder. 
Thanks for taking the time out of your busy day to post.

I am a toned down cloth-alcoholic,   if there is success a thing.  Of course I would love to dress my kids up but, my husband, thankfully, keeps me in check .  Inevitable! I buy a cute outfit and an hour later it has been welcomed into the family with a permanent stain.  After a few of these attempts I have vowed not to buy expensive outfits BUT!  this has not kept me from looking.

The problem I found is locally all the manufactured clothing all looks the same/generic   unless it is custom.  But to my pleasant surprise one of the moms introduce me to two catalogs that I had never seen and I was on a shoppers dream frenzy  (in theory).

It got me to thing, instead of surfing the internet for hours looking for cute web sites I thought I would just put up a post and ask other moms/dads what they have run across and if they wouldn’t mind sharing those sites.

I stumbled upon this post and have a question for anyone who can answer.  Having no muscial background; can't sing and  feel confident enough to say couldn't tell the difference between music pitch from baseball pitch.  If I followed the advice given here I could spare my children the same fate
I am overwhelemed even just reading the post but again would one advise just following the steps outlined in the beginning of the post?

Thanks
