The Big Georgia Activity Book Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a great book of activity sheets. While some pages are for older students, some can easily be used for older and younger students.
I'm using this book for my 2nd grader's home school. While this book can't be a source for a Georgia History curriculum alone, it can be a great resource for creating your own. It's easy to find the Georgia Performance Standards (GPS) for the grade (8th or 2nd) and create your own curriculum. Think of the GPS as a checklist or a reverse scavenger hunt (This is what we need to learn about. Now, how do we do learn it?) The Georgia Public Library system (PINES) is a great and FREE resource. You can request books from other libraries in the PINES system.
This book could also be used by a teacher for regular school to supplement the curriculum supplied by the school.

My Book of Pasting: Jigsaw Puzzles (Kumon Workbooks) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My Son is only 2.5 yrs old, but loves puzzles and also likes to use the glue and paste. Since it was too much for me to keep on buying wooden puzzles, I got this book even though the age range was different. He is enjoying them immensely (though I have to do the cutting for him).
Cons:
Since the puzzle pieces and the pieces in the solution page come numbered, with the first puzzle, he simply started matching the numbers and got it right in a sec! Since then I have him solve the puzzle outside on the table and then make him stick the pieces on the solution page. I feel this could have been avoided.
One improvement would be to make it spiral bound so that you dont have to hold the pages while the kid is working!

This workbook was designed to improve childrenÂ's abilities with tools such as scissors and glue. It features colorfully jumbled illustrations which children will cut into pieces and reassemble to create a picture. ItÂ's like assembling your own jigsaw puzzle using scissors and glue!

(More customer reviews)I am ordering this book, my current volume of this book is from the library. This is an excellent book. I am a day care provider, and my children were thrilled with all the stuff we found inside this book. All of the materials were easy to get too. I highly recommend it to any teacher of preschoolers and up; and to every day care provider.
