History Book Winners!
I'm sorry for getting these winners up late, but I was trapped under something heavy last night.
No. It wasn't what you think.
Here are the ten winners of DK History: The Definitive Visual Guide:
#2842 Minnow (cute name!)
#1956 Joanna Mease
#984 Trish
#2760 Cris
#510 Linda
#2317 Celeste
#804 Jana
#2549 Jenn
#799 Leigh Ann
Congratulations, winners! I know you'll love having this book on your coffee table; I flip mine open a couple of times a day at least. Email [email protected] to claim your prize.
And now, I'd love your feedback, everyone! I'd like to do more frequent giveaways like this one here on PW Homeschooling, and while I plan on giving away specific homeschooling curriculum here and there, I'd also like to have prizes that are relevant not just to homeschooling households, but all households with kids in the home.
History has shown that you have much better ideas than my feeble mind can come up with. So if you have any great ideas for Homeschooling/Educational giveaways for this section of the site—prizes you'd be interested in—my ears (eyes?) are wide open!

I will put my thinking cap on about ideas for giveaways. And, I'm buying the DK History book today! Thanks for the chance.
Mary Ann On Sunday, January 18 at 9:23 am
Well so far all your ideas are good even for non home schoolers. We all should be adding to what our kids learn at school and many of your suggestions will work out great to supplement. I try and come up with some other ideas too!
Lisa in TX On Sunday, January 18 at 9:23 am
Art supplies are always in demand in our homeschooling household, but I would imagine all households with children would be like that too. http://www.stubbypencilstudio.com is a good one!
rkintn On Sunday, January 18 at 9:23 am
I am adding that history book to my list of must haves as well! How bout some great educational games or puzzles? Those kinds of things are something that all familes can benefit from. My kids love to have family time where we just sit down and put a puzzle together.:)
Lisa in TX On Sunday, January 18 at 9:23 am
Oh I forgot to mention that the "crayon rocks" ROCK!
Tracy Krieg On Sunday, January 18 at 9:23 am
Science!! My son is in 3rd grade, and knows more than me… I've forgotten all the basics. I'd love to be able to help him as he goes on further.
Tracy Krieg On Sunday, January 18 at 9:25 am
Or Rush Hour! I've been thinking about that since you posted it, but haven't bought one… yet.
Teslaca On Sunday, January 18 at 9:25 am
Books are always appreciated. How about some craft type supplies? A big can of chalkboard paint and loads of colored chalk. Or kits to make things that can be used for learning as well, like a fishing fly tying kit, cake decorating kit, or gardening kit.
Mama DB On Sunday, January 18 at 9:27 am
Perhaps Rush Hour? I went looking for it at Tar-jai yesterday but didn't find it. But the books and things are great! Keep on keeping on.
Vicki Miller On Sunday, January 18 at 9:28 am
Books, Books, and more Books. We love hands on projects. What about doing an art contest? Have kids make something then turn them in and get judged!!
Barbara On Sunday, January 18 at 9:29 am
I've just been reading through these homeschooling posts for the first time and they are making me wish we homeschooled too! I got as far as the rush hour game and came back to comment here. Educational, family fun(!)what more could you want from a giveaway. I'm off to have a look see if I can find this game in the UK.
Jacque On Sunday, January 18 at 9:29 am
I have a 14mo old, but have already decided that homeschooling is probably what we will do. Something to help me get started when he is 3 or 4 would be great. If there is such a thing. Thanks for the chance at the book, I think we will pick it up, it looks like something we could all learn from.
Cathy Nebrrraska On Sunday, January 18 at 9:30 am
Learning games or books!
Jeanne from Ohio On Sunday, January 18 at 9:31 am
Any ideas for pre-schoolers!
Cindy On Sunday, January 18 at 9:34 am
Gift cards to places like Staples for school supplies
Art easels (like at ikea.com)
maryjack On Sunday, January 18 at 9:38 am
We'll be homeschooling for the first time next school year, and are in the "research, choose, and buy curricula" phase right now. Anything to help beginners would be fantastic! And, I'd love to know more about the specific curricula you're using with your punks. These posts from you and Heather are VERY helpful, and I've learned so much since reading this section of the pioneer woman.
maryjack On Sunday, January 18 at 9:39 am
Also, I agree with #15, gift cards for supplies would be awesome!
Melissa On Sunday, January 18 at 9:42 am
Maybe gift cards to bookstores or to Amazon. Though, I think many of the things shown on this section would work for kids who are not homeschooled, too.
Katie On Sunday, January 18 at 9:43 am
I'd love anything that has been profiled on this website — the Shakespeare books, artist books/cards, geoboards, etc.
kelli w On Sunday, January 18 at 9:44 am
Anonymous On Sunday, January 18 at 9:45 am
How about a collection of Newberry winners to help with the literature selection of families with children. You could have a selection with just the winners for a certain number of years like 2008 – 1998. Or you could pick a year and have the winner and honor books (for 2008 that would be 4 books).
amy On Sunday, January 18 at 9:45 am
My children are older: 17,15, and 12. I tried homeschooling for a short period when they were younger, but it didn't work out so well for us. I admire your determination. Our family always enjoys puzzle games, beautiful books (Borders gift certificates??), and interesting family-friendly excursions.
humincat On Sunday, January 18 at 9:47 am
Oh, this is a hard one, since every household is so unique. I think things like Rush Hour would go like hot cakes though.
Annette On Sunday, January 18 at 9:52 am
Gift certificates for Amazon would be wonderful. We order books and lots of other things from them. They have great prices and you can usually get free shipping. We pay a yearly fee and get free 2-day shipping….perfect for those procrastinators who need things in a hurry!!
Michelle On Sunday, January 18 at 9:53 am
Any of the DK books can easily be used by non-homeschoolers to enrich their children's education. Board games, puzzles, computer programs like "Where in the World is Carmen Santiago?", arts and crafts supplies. Someone mentioned having old kids…that's going to be a harder group to consider…maybe the more sophisticated board games that would offer a challenge?
Betty On Sunday, January 18 at 9:56 am
Rush Hour! And/or gift certificates to Border, Barnes & Noble or Amazon.
nancypants On Sunday, January 18 at 10:07 am
Definitely anything that you've ever shared about here like Shakespeare can be fun, and the art books you had mentioned… maybe art supplies + a good starter art curriculum – a really nice get up, Maybe a Science in a box curriculum with all of the experiment "stuff" included, Rainbow Resource Gift Card, Another Standard Deviants Giveaway, For a big daddy you could give away a full basic curriculum set of the winner's choice up to a certain dollar amount (reading, writing, math, history, science), A gift card to a place where one could buy a quality musical instrument that they wouldn't maybe otherwise be able to afford, more copier/printers with several free reams of paper, computer software, or more computer set-ups, Rosetta Stone (language of winners choice), gift card to educationsuperstore.com… hey when you ask for ideas, I shoot for the moon doncha know? :^D
LOL E-mail me and I could probably fill your eye with a few dozen more!!
Luna On Sunday, January 18 at 10:07 am
The DK books are so beautiful. After your post, I found a Rush Hour game and 3 days later it arrived in the mail! I love playing it. I like games like that, and books like DK, and books in general. Because I have a 3-1/2 year old Goddess Son, I would be interested in things for him. What does your baby like? We have fun with jigsaw puzzles, and those books like "Where's Waldo."
Kqadams On Sunday, January 18 at 10:09 am
I'd love to hear about teaching nutrition to kids, if you have any special tools or tips for that.
OKCathy On Sunday, January 18 at 10:11 am
I TOTALLY agree with Betty (# 26). Those are exactly the things I thought of too!!!
Thanks for all the fun giveaways!! LOVE your site!!
megank On Sunday, January 18 at 10:12 am
I like books… I really wanted to win this history book so I could teach MYSELF!!
megank On Sunday, January 18 at 10:12 am
OHHH and thanks for the giveaways!!
Tara On Sunday, January 18 at 10:15 am
After seeing you write about it, I'd love to own a copy of Rush Hour. I wouldn't mind if you gave that away.
Thinking games like Rush Hour are good giveaways.
What sorts of fictional books do you include in your kids' curriculum? (For example, we had to read books like To Kill a Mockingbird, Huck Finn, etc. over the years in school.) Books like that might be cool as giveaways for the homeschoolers and non-homeschoolers alike. (It would also be cool for us non-parents. I find myself appreciating and wanting to re-read those books more and more as I get older and am reading for fun.)
tom On Sunday, January 18 at 10:17 am
I now have to purchased the DK book. We have quite a few but not this one. On to B&N we go… NOW,
About the homeschooling advice….
While I do not home school, my son's MATH is light years ahead of what I've learned in school, he's in 7th grade and albragia is killing me (spelling too as you can see) so…. I'm sure a giveaway can be a subject that not only address homeschooling but to help parents help their children with these new dang levels of teaching, esp. Math… (and spellin') Help homeschool 'da parents so we can help the midgets with their homework…. peezzzz.
tom On Sunday, January 18 at 10:17 am
Thanks for much for the contests and the great, great stories.
Kara On Sunday, January 18 at 10:18 am
I like the suggestion of Rush Hour or other fun+educational games. Books are always good. More foreign language learning tools would be great to see, too. And, what I would love to see (and receive) most would be organizational systems — I don't homeschool but I'm thinking cool filing systems, folders, storage containers, etc., would be useful to all. What do you use for paperwork, planning, record-keeping in the home-schooling and other parts of your life?
Kristina On Sunday, January 18 at 10:19 am
Life of Fred, I've got the first three books, now, but they'd be a great give away for older kids. Books are always welcome. I agree that art/school supplies are good. A subscription to the United Streaming Discovery Learning (through homeschool buyers co-op). That thing is AWESOME! Games, games, and more games (preferably NOT computer or video) to bring families together. A trampoline, skates, etc. I'm sure I'll think of more stuff. I think you could have a lot of fun with this.
LeeNJ On Sunday, January 18 at 10:21 am
I have to join the Rush Hour chorus! Beyond that, I fully trust your instincts as to what's cool and, therefore, desirable to the point of just HAVING to HAVE IT! Lee
Meg On Sunday, January 18 at 10:21 am
congrats winners!
Maybe more things like "Rush Hour" … things that bring everyone in the family together to have fun but still works the minds.
Gayle On Sunday, January 18 at 10:21 am
I don't have any ideas, you always have such great giveaways! Thanks, PW!
New England Girl On Sunday, January 18 at 10:23 am
Two ideas:
Good fiction for boys. I know yours are a bit young to be reading chapter books, but are there chapter books your boys like to hear read aloud?
Also, The Way Things Work by David Macauley. It has really neat illustrations and explains how *everything* works: refrigerators, CD players, simple levers, etc. I love that book. And I don't have a copy. So give them away, including one to me!!
moncheoPR On Sunday, January 18 at 10:23 am
LOL @ "it's not what you think."
That history book was awesome 'cause it's not just for Homeschoolers. Given I have no kids, I am not a homeschooler, but I still find lots of the stuff you post interesting for me. For example, I am addicted to RUSH HOUR online now. Thank you. And that book, I might get it on my own. It looks awesome. And whatever you give away is good enough for us.
Deirdre On Sunday, January 18 at 10:24 am
I'm determined to win one of your give-aways before I turn 40 in November. The OCD in me is obsessed with it:-)
I used to each HS English, am now home with 3 little boys and feel strongly that all parents have to homeschoool, even if their kids go to public school as well (as mine do).
Gift cards would be great, but more specifically, we love http://www.barebooks.com for writing/illustrating our own books (make great gifts for grandmas!), and art supplies like big buckets of clay (rather than playdo). Love the no-spill-paint-cups from http://www.lakeshorelearning.com.
There may be no educational benefit in these, but since we're the same age I thought you might want these as much as I do:
romoland redhead On Sunday, January 18 at 10:26 am
my children go to public school but i still love all the stuff you show, it works for all children. education and fun should go hand in hand.
Cheryl On Sunday, January 18 at 10:27 am
Wow! After homeschooling for 18 years, there are so many wonderful books, games, and tools…..it is hard to choose; however, here are a few ideas:
1) Small collection of art supplies w/ a book from the series, "Getting to Know the World's Greatest Artists"
2) Small collection of science experiment supplies w/ book of fun experiments you can do at home
3) Any of the Usborne books!
4) Shel Silverstein books
5) More games like Rush Hour!
6) Puzzles
7) Books of riddles/puzzles/mind games
8) Books by David Macaulay
9) More DK books!
10) Of course, gift cards are always wonderful!
Thanks so much, Ree, for being open about your homeschooling and having such wonderful and encouraging ideas for everyone!
Suzanne in ABQ On Sunday, January 18 at 10:29 am
Math manipulatives! Pattern blocks, Cuisinaire rods, balance scales, weighted Base-10 blocks, counters, etc.
shani On Sunday, January 18 at 10:32 am
All of my children are now teens and soon to be on their own, but wouldn't it be fun to create 'field trips' ? Even though you are in the country, do you ever take them out to see the trees they are learning? or perhaps paste note cards in foreign language to objects in the yard?
I love the history book idea. History is always in the making and it is nice to have pictures and information available.
Dorrie On Sunday, January 18 at 10:38 am
I don't have children but still love your homeschooling prizes. I do have 15 nieces and nephews and love spending time with them doing educational things. Their parents don't always have the time to do things like that on a regular basis. Even if you don't homeschool, a little extra educational knowledge is never a bad thing. I think it helps strengthen skills they use every day in school.
Cindy and Co On Sunday, January 18 at 10:40 am
I am all about the Rush Hour game too…I would love to win it. Or organizational supplies (who dosen't office supplies?), books, that geography CD, a baby cow (? I wonder what shipping would come out to? Bet ya MM could tell me…lol….)….Either way …Thank you!
Cindy and Co On Sunday, January 18 at 10:41 am
PS…We are starting to homeschool/online school on Wed. so keep the ideas coming…I am terrified….lol.
Stephanie On Sunday, January 18 at 10:47 am
* Educational Games – we are a HUGE game family and a game even younger kids can play is Blokus. Blink, a speed matching game but we adjust rules for younger kids and just take turn, making it a matching game (shapes, colors, and numbers). There are so many more – we are addicted to board games (our current favorite is Catan)
Other ideas:
*Art Supplies – paints, chalks, pencils, other craft things
*check out homeschoolartvideos.com. My 12 year old was given one of these and we just finished one video and all the activities and she can't wait for me to get her some more.
*Books – DK and Usborne are some of the best out there with all their pictures!
*Manipulatives – I ended up buying those root cards you posted about the other day for my oldest because that kind of this is right up her alley. I never would have even noticed them on the shelf had I not seen your post. So – anything that has really worked for your family as well
*Science in a nutshell – simple, easy science experiments that my daughter loved doing.
bizban On Sunday, January 18 at 10:48 am
Crafts, educational games, etc. Those root word flash cards look cool too!
melanie On Sunday, January 18 at 11:06 am
I am very curious to what you have if at all yet for teaching second languages. Are the kids learning Spanish? French? I saw the latin card before..IM trying to figure out which home tools would be the best…like Muzzy or Rosetta Stone..or if there is something better yet? I would love to know.
Sheila On Sunday, January 18 at 11:10 am
We are getting a giant floor puzzle of the world to help with Geography~ they're fun, also have you heard of Professor Noggin? It's a series of cards on different subjects, science, history etc. that play like Trivial Pursuit. Great fun. Of course books are a no brainer, and Scholastic is a great resource for economical 'kits' for science experiments and such. You have loads of great ideas to cull from! Have fun! And congratulations, you winners!
Jen On Sunday, January 18 at 11:15 am
Rush Hour, microscope, Teaching Textbooks, Rosetta Stone, a set of the Shakespeare for kids…I think I could go on and on with this train of thought.
Ernestine On Sunday, January 18 at 11:17 am
I think you should give away that game Rush Hour. I thought it was the cutest thing so I went out to try to find it and couldn't.
kellee On Sunday, January 18 at 11:18 am
Amazon gift cards would be GREAT! I often buy books to add to our curriculum. Also some of your suggested items/books can be bought on Amazon. I love Amazon.
Emily On Sunday, January 18 at 11:21 am
How about one of those boxes of rhythm instruments? They're tons of fun…maybe a little annoying for the parents though.
Erin S. On Sunday, January 18 at 11:21 am
i've fallen in love with your learning to read featured book from the other day.
paisleypam On Sunday, January 18 at 11:25 am
What about the Smartpen? It records everything you write or hear and is transferrable to your computer. I think that would be neat for a high school or college student.
More of the History and English books you use and like and also Rush Hour!
Gena On Sunday, January 18 at 11:28 am
A projector! It could be used for instruction, art, imagination, games, and movie nights.
Susan On Sunday, January 18 at 11:28 am
I'm sorry- I'm too busy weeping over the loss of not winning the History book to give any suggestions. I'll have to get back to you.
zoe On Sunday, January 18 at 11:32 am
I noticed a few commenters with young children who would like to start homeschooling at a young age and were wondering about some helpful supplies. In my experience, the most helpful thing you can do is free…simply include your baby/toddler in what you are doing and talk to them as you work. This instills a love of learning right from the start and it's actually useful too. My 16 month old already helps me hang up laundry on the drying rack and loves to stir things in the kitchen. Not that this is unusual, I suppose, but having her watch me so closely lets her see the details and also see that I enjoy my work. Hopefully one day she doesn't hate doing chores.
Another thing you can do is to read, read, read to your kids, and you don't have to have special books when they are young. Any child's book will do. Instill this love of learning early and they won't hate school!
Now, on to the actual question of the day. I liked the one commenters idea of learning kits…the gardening/cooking/science kits. And just more of these awesome history books, or any other book for that matter!
Nene On Sunday, January 18 at 11:33 am
Addition, subtraction, telling time…Those are just a few things we're working on at home right now. Thanks for everything, Ree!
Sunitha On Sunday, January 18 at 11:35 am
How about the sonlight curriculum or some part of it…like the science experiments. Or those song CD's with the bible verses…I thought those were very educational
Talon On Sunday, January 18 at 11:35 am
Those root words flash cards. I'm still salivating over them.
Dang it.
Um…maybe Math Blaster? Or a set of measuring things?
Roxanne On Sunday, January 18 at 11:45 am
I think all families could benefit from games like the Rush Hour you wrote about or fun, educational aids like that.
Deb Tynan On Sunday, January 18 at 11:46 am
Any type of educational game(s)… and how about the early reader type books (or sets of books?). I still haven't delved much into the world of early reading w/ my just- turned- 4 -yr -old. Though we do read a lot to him. : )
~ Deb Tynan http://growingupconnor.blogspot.com
Cheri in Ohio On Sunday, January 18 at 11:49 am
How about a telescope and/or astronomy books.
Laurie L. On Sunday, January 18 at 11:52 am
It's all well and good for primary ages (kinder through around third grade), but I would like to see about more advanced homeschooling supplies…for say ten years old to eighteen.
My Twenty Cents Keeps Moving On Sunday, January 18 at 11:53 am
Fraction cubes are the best thing ever!!!
Lyn On Sunday, January 18 at 12:01 pm
Can NOT go wring with anything DK. Personal experience because I have a son who is a non reader. Will read the captions in a DK book. Check out National Geographics selection as well. I have an OLD copy of 'Everyday Life in Bible Times' that was riveting to me as a kid….
Rhonda in Oklahoma On Sunday, January 18 at 12:03 pm
I love anything that fosters "brain exercise" and creativity. Not to mention books.
Congrats to all the winners! Now I'm going to have to see if I can get that book somewhere.
Brie On Sunday, January 18 at 12:04 pm
Any ideas for a family night or a game. I actually home school another family's kids as my job and bring along my daughter. We have a blast! We especially love the game Pass the Pigs and it helps with their adding and counting by 5's and 10's.
jc On Sunday, January 18 at 12:04 pm
I'm a grandma so I am not sure I am really 'in the know' but . . . . I try to have things around for my grandchildren – besides the ipods, ieverythingelse, so . . . since Christmas, we have been playing the board game "Are You Smarter Than A Fifth Grader?" and I will go ahead and say it … I'M NOT SMARTER THAN A FIFTH GRADER but they are and we have fun. I have several DK books and I am sure I will add the History book – beautiful.
Panya On Sunday, January 18 at 12:05 pm
As a Geography buff married to someone that thinks India is a city in South America [*groan*], I'd suggest an atlas! I've been dying to buy one [so I can teach him everything I know], but the really nice ones are pretty expensive, and that makes me think that the average homeschooling family would agree with me.
Heffalump On Sunday, January 18 at 12:07 pm
I think it would be cool if you did a giveaway for Rush Hour. It is on my list to buy ever since you posted about it. They also have several versions like Rush Hour Safari where you are navigating through wild animals, Rush Hour Train, and there is a boat one as well.
When I was a kid I loved playing with Tangrams at my Grandmother's house, and the school here uses them in the classroom.
A microscope.
Books that can be read aloud to the whole family…etc. etc.
Lee On Sunday, January 18 at 12:10 pm
Kid-friendly video cameras! My son is 9 and he and his friends have the best time developing their own movies. They plot the story, develop characters, shoot "scenes", and in general are very creative. They also make commercials, and previews. Then they put everything in iMovie to finalize it.
tammy On Sunday, January 18 at 12:11 pm
Pretty much everything that you have discussed in the homeschool section has wound up on my shopping list! So, if you like it….it will probably be something I would love to win.
Educational games are really good…esp. the ones that one or two people can play. Like the Rush Hour game that I want now. ;o)
The Critical Thinking Company is a great place….so maybe gift cards to places like that where you can pick out some things that work for your own family.
Sandy Manning On Sunday, January 18 at 12:13 pm
Lots of good ideas already posted. I do homeschool. I've graduated two of my four and my third graduates this year. Here's a suggestion for a gift certificate that is a great place for anyone with kids: http://www.fatbraintoys.com They carry the Rush Hour game and one product I buy from them is their Learning Calendar which is great. I am not affiliated with this website in any way, but it's a good one.
Lee On Sunday, January 18 at 12:16 pm
I hope its OK to do 2 comments since this isn't a giveaway…
The Bill Nye the Science Guy video set is really nice, and really expensive. It's hard to find through libraries and not available on Netflix. So it would be a really nice prize.
Christy Stansbury On Sunday, January 18 at 12:20 pm
I'd love a set of those "English From the Roots Up" cards!!!
shelley On Sunday, January 18 at 12:21 pm
i would love it if we could have giveaways for things to educate and stimulate toddlers (my son is only 18 months). I am very into all natural products and am strongly considering homeschooling my son and future children. I really enjoy your homeschooling section.
Daisy On Sunday, January 18 at 12:22 pm
Rosetta Stone products would be fab!!
Penny in VT On Sunday, January 18 at 12:25 pm
Art supplies, Staples/Office Depot gift cards, Games (like Rush Hour) and stuff like that…
My daughter got a FLIP video camera for Christmas, that's pretty great too…
Chelle in MO On Sunday, January 18 at 12:26 pm
I think a fun giveaway for families w/preschoolers would be a set of Rod and Staff's preschool series. I really enjoyed using them for my four kids when they were little.
Wendy On Sunday, January 18 at 12:27 pm
I would love to know what your favorite educational websites are!
Lauriebelle On Sunday, January 18 at 12:33 pm
I'm not a homeschooler but a teacher so I love the prizes you've been giving away so far. What about subscriptions to some educational sites out there? I use a few of them for printables and different ideas and while they are fairly inexpensive I am sure some can't budget them in.
Miss Lila On Sunday, January 18 at 12:33 pm
You are one terrific woman! I help homeschool four of my 8 gran-youngin's (Southern for grankids)
I would Love to win some arts and crafts projects and for 7 year old Julien, science projects! And maybe some "cooking with kids" projects and cookbooks.
You're a love!
Miss Lila in Atlanta
IzzyBeth On Sunday, January 18 at 12:40 pm
Books, flashcards, educational DVDs and software. And if you're really excited – some of the more high-tech learning things from V-Tech, Leap Frog, etc.
Trips to Epcot? LOL
Jenny D! On Sunday, January 18 at 12:44 pm
Crafty stuff. Our favorite subject is art…. I"d love to be able to foster that in the kids.
Doularuth On Sunday, January 18 at 12:48 pm
I used to home school all four of my kids. But now my two oldest are in college, the other two are in traditional school and I teach 5th grade. My opinion is that almost anything you use at home as a homeschooling mom applies to even those of us who are not homeschooling. I put in an entry for that history book. I'd stick it in my bathroom because I found early on that any book I stuck in the bathroom got read.
Monica Swanson On Sunday, January 18 at 12:49 pm
two ideas: for those considering homeschooling or needing some direction, the book "100 top picks for homeschool curriculum" was super helpful to me. Great giveaway idea.
also–"spa finder" gift certificates (does this apply?) maybe I just need a massage, but they are great mom gifts anytime!
lorrie On Sunday, January 18 at 12:51 pm
my son and i are always drooling over the DickBlick teachers catalog and the Steve Spangler Science catalog.ok its mostly me on art and him on science
Amy On Sunday, January 18 at 12:59 pm
How about that Rush Hour game? That looked like a lot of fun!
Sandy Bartling On Sunday, January 18 at 1:01 pm
We are always needing science experiment ideas for our science fair. I would love to see some books related to that area for elementary age kids.
Michele On Sunday, January 18 at 1:02 pm
I like several of the ideas above including Lakeshore learning, office supply gift cards, games, etc.
How about a gift card to a homeschooling curriculum site? We use Sonlight — and I know they have things that even Sonlight users can use.
Amy J. On Sunday, January 18 at 1:04 pm
Kids literature- How about Caldecott winners for the littles and Newberry winners for the bigs?
Moosh On Sunday, January 18 at 1:06 pm
Ree, Check out Headsprout at http://www.headsprout.com.
It is a fantastic online reading program.
Mary On Sunday, January 18 at 1:14 pm
Educational games – I actually promised to buy my son Rush Hour after I showed it to him on your blog.
Books are always a great gift – Maybe some of your kids' favorites.

This is the beginning of a new year. It is time to release the past and look toward the future. It is important not to allow past failures and disappointments to hinder future success. Rather than reflect on what has gone wrong with our economy in the past, we need to reflect on what can go right with our economy in the future.

I am not one of those people opposed to technology. In fact, I had several of the latest tech gadgets on my Christmas list. Technology is great—but lately I have been wondering how it's affecting our society. Do we as a society interact less because it is more convenient to whip out our cell phone and text?

For Carrie M. Becker 2012 has been every unknown-artist's dream. In early January her photo series Barbie Trashes Her Dream House, a collection of dollhouse-scale rooms Becker had painstakingly constructed and then photographed to make them appear life-size, went viral.
Viewers were attracted to the concept of Barbie, that iconically perfect princess, as secretly a filthy hoarder, but the work's true brilliance lay in Becker's intricately constructed dioramas, detailed right down to the tiny turds in Barbie's unflushed toilet, and the bland, documentary composition of the photographs, as dispassionately rendered as snapshots taken with a cheap point-and-shoot. They looked real, in other words. And, therefore, all the more disturbing.
Becker's Flickr page received more than 100,000 hits in a single day, and when the dust cleared months later, her work had been featured in more than 60 media outlets (in eighteen different languages), including Time.com, Jezebel, Huffington Post, the Daily Beast, Bust and Scientific American, where some of the photos were used to illustrate a feature about optical illusions. The photo series is now on view in a shopping mall in Shanghai, China.
"I'd go to a Chinese site and, holy shit — there's my work!" Becker recalls. "I'd click on Google Translate to read it. Here you're a nobody, literally, on a Thursday, and then on Friday by noon 120,000 people have seen your work. You can't plan for that."
In February at the Gallery of Contemporary Art at St. Louis Community College–Forest Park, Becker reprised Elements, a series of installations based on images from scanning electron microscopes, which she'd created and exhibited while an artist-in-residence at the McColl Center for Visual Art in Charlotte in the fall of 2011.
In March Becker turned 34. In April she gave a visiting-artist lecture at Eastern Kentucky University. In May she married comedian Christian Lawrence, a co-founder of Bare Knuckle Comedy who spends his days as an Apple Store "genius," and the couple moved into ArtLofts, a building on Washington Avenue that offers rent subsidies to working artists. In November a solo show of the Barbie series will open at the Riney Fine Arts Gallery at Friends University in Wichita.
But as with her work, there has been more to Becker's fabulous year than the highlight reel that meets the eye, The same week Barbie went viral, Forest Park, where she has taught as an adjunct since earning her MFA from Kansas State University two years ago, canceled one of the two classes she was scheduled to teach, owing to lack of enrollment. The school canceled a summer class, too. In order to make rent, Becker took a job as an administrative assistant at a roofing company. Last month the roofers went out of business. Forest Park doesn't have a class for her for the coming semester, and Becker isn't sure how she'll be able to raise the $2,000 she estimates it'll cost to get Barbie printed and framed for the Riney.
Unemployment tends to give one time to reflect.
"If your work is being seen and appreciated by 100,000 people — that's good, right?" Becker wonders aloud. "Does that mean I'm a professional artist, if people like it? What if you don't get paid for it? Does that make you a professional artist who makes zero dollars per year?"
She knows her work is a tough sell. There's no money in installations — who has the space to display them, and why would anyone buy a photo of Barbie's shit-filled toilet to hang on their wall?
This is not what Becker envisioned when she decided as a sixteen-year-old that she wanted to pursue a career in art. For four years in her twenties, she worked as a commercial photographer in Chicago and assisted on furniture shoots for the Sears catalog. The experience resurfaced as inspiration for the Barbie series, but at the time Becker found it soul-crushing. She enrolled in grad school, planning to earn her MFA and then work her way onto a college art faculty.
At school Becker rediscovered the sense of whimsy that made her want to do art in the first place. She gravitated to mixed-media sculpture, messing around with fabrics and textures and indulging her fondness for repeating shapes, à la cells viewed through a microscope. In her third and final year, she began schlepping her pieces out to abandoned farmhouses on the Kansas prairie. The resulting photos depict pink corpuscles exploding from cracked walls, spermlike shapes swimming through broken blinds, ropes of moss creeping down a chimney to take over a deserted living room.
"Her final exhibit was extraordinary," recalls Gerry Craig, director of Kansas State's art department and a member of Becker's thesis committee. "It's unusual for people to take objects and photograph them in a place that has character of its own. The crustiness of the Kansas farmhouses is a lot to take on visually, and to insert your own work makes it even more difficult. It plays with reality in a way that's very contemporary."
Adds Melissa Vandenberg, an assistant professor of art at Eastern Kentucky: "I'm impressed with her restraint in not giving up her secrets right away."

By Master Sgt. Bob Haskell, USASpecial to American Forces Press Service
ARLINGTON, Va., April 15, 2004 Jeffrey Wershow died in Iraq in July. A year after the beginning of Operation Iraqi Freedom, Wershow became a National Guard icon.
Lt. Gen. H Steven Blum, chief of the National Guard Bureau, is telling everyone he can about the 22-year-old infantry specialist from the Florida Army National Guard.
Blum tells Wershow's story while showing a video about what National Guard soldiers and airmen have contributed to the global war against terrorism since Sept. 11, 2001. The 3-minute, 37-second video is a collage of film clips and still photos set to the Toby Keith song "American Soldier," which was No. 1 on the country music charts as the first year of the war in Iraq was coming to a close.
Veteran members of the National Guard Bureau's public affairs team produced two videos to pay tribute to the fallen Guard members.
One is grounded in Toby Keith's hit song "American Soldier." It shows National Guard troops performing their duties in Afghanistan, Iraq and supporting homeland efforts.
The other is a memorial to the Guard members who have been killed during the war against terrorism. Their names are displayed against an American flag that is waving in the breeze. "Taps" is the mournful musical score. The 3-minute, 17-second video ends with the sobering message, "All Gave Some; Some Gave All."
Army Guard Sgts. 1st Class Paul Mouilleseaux and Tom Roberts shot most of footage and photographs and produced the videos that are being distributed to National Guard personnel throughout the country.
Blum presented the award-winning military journalists with Air Force Achievement Medals for their poignant portrayals of the National Guard at war.
"What the National Guard does and means was the message we tried to convey in the Toby Keith video," said Mouilleseaux, who also has two Emmy Awards. He was a staff photographer on news teams for a Louisville, Ky., commercial television station, WHAS-TV, which won Midwestern regional Emmy Awards in 1994 and 2000.
"With the memorial video, we wanted to inject some honor and pride and emotion into the sacrifices that these Guard soldiers and airmen have made to make sure they are never forgotten," Mouilleseaux added.
Wershow, who went to war with the 2nd Battalion, 124th Infantry, appears twice in that National Guard video that also speaks to the sacrifices that Guard soldiers and airmen have made during the war. Wershow is seen in the green haze of a night-vision lens, planting the American and Florida flags beside a breach in a defensive wall in northern Iraq.
Florida Army Guard and active Army soldiers invaded Iraq, Blum explains, in the dead of a night before coalition forces actually launched Operation Iraqi Freedom on the night of March 19, 2003.
Wershow did not have long to savor that moment, Blum relates a little later during the video as a casket covered with Old Glory is carried onto an Air National Guard plane. He was shot in the head and killed in Baghdad while buying a can of soda on July 6.
"Jeffrey Wershow was one of our Guard members who went into the fight before the fighting officially started," Blum has observed. "And Jeffrey Wershow was one of the people who made the ultimate sacrifice."
There have been many Jeffrey Wershows during the past year, as the National Guard has paid a dear price in blood and tears while holding up its end of the fight against tyranny and terrorism, against those who would do this country harm.
Sixty-five Guard members have died because they have been willing to go into harm's way.
Fifty-five Army Guard soldiers and one Air National Guard officer had given their lives during the first year of operations against Iraq by March 20, according to Defense Department casualty reports.
That was the day that California Army Guard 1st Lt. Michael Vega, 41, died at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington from injuries suffered when his vehicle rolled over during a firefight in Iraq on March 11.
Another eight Guard soldiers and an airman have died while taking part in Operation Enduring Freedom, in which terrorists based in Afghanistan have been the focus of attention since April 2002.
Twenty-seven of the Iraqi casualties have been killed in action or have died of combat wounds, according to DoD reports. Three have been killed in action in Afghanistan.
Many others have been wounded and lost limbs and have begun coming to grips at places like Walter Reed with the reality of resuming their lives, which have been forever altered by warfare.
They will be remembered in many places. The 56 who have died during Operation Iraqi Freedom came from 25 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico, based on Defense Department casualty reports.
Five belonged to Army Guard units in Iowa, the state that has been hardest hit.
California and Alabama have each lost four Guard soldiers. Indiana has lost three Guard soldiers engaged in Operation Iraqi Freedom and another during Operation Enduring Freedom.
July and November were the deadliest months during the first year of the Iraqi war. Eight Guard Soldiers perished during each month. Seven more died during August, September and December.
Improvised explosive devices have taken many of the lives that will again be remembered with tears and "Taps" during Memorial Day observances in late May.
But the sacrifices have been made in many ways.
Illinois 1st Lt. Brian Slavenas and Iowa Chief Warrant Officer Bruce Smith and Sgt. Paul Fisher were killed when their CH-47 Chinook helicopter was shot down in Fallujah, Iraq, on Nov. 2.
Ohio Spec. Todd Bates drowned south of Baghdad on Dec. 10 after diving into the Tigris River to try to save his squad leader, Staff Sgt. Aaron Reese, who fell overboard during a river patrol. Both men with the 135th Military Police Company died.
And many people now know the story of Florida Spc. Jeffrey Wershow because the chief of the National Guard Bureau is telling everyone he can how the college student and aspiring politician left his Florida home to put his life on the line, as so many National Guard people have done when their country has called.

Spencer goes on to ask about a new trial, but Marty says that he won't be granted one unless she changes her recommendation. Spencer accuses Marty of taking on his case just to stick it to Todd! When Marty denies it, Spencer says, "Okay, whatever, but I'm not insane� I never was." However, Marty says that she won't recant her recommendation. She goes on to tell Spencer that he's seriously disturbed, then leaves.
When Adriana goes to visit Cris, he can tell something is bothering her. Adriana says that she knows something that she wishes she didn't. Although she can't tell Cris about Tommy, she expresses that an innocent life depends on Adriana doing the right thing. With a little more 'roundabout' explaining, Adriana realizes that she's doing the right thing by keeping the secret. After she leaves, Cris finds a letter under his door saying, "Rent past due." Cris goes to his painting and dabs a little bit of 'turpentine' on the picture as a method used to give parts of the picture a smudged effect.
Outside of Cris' apartment, Rex tells Adriana about Bo's assignment and says that he 'has a feeling' that he's not going to find any evidence that Todd abducted Spencer.
When Todd sees Marty outside of Blair's room, he lays into her and blames Marty for what Blair's going through! Marty tells Todd that no matter what he thinks, she hopes that Blair will be all right. After Marty walks around the corner, she makes a call asking 'someone' for help.
Todd shows Evangeline the ring that he had given Blair years ago and says that as soon as Blair gets through this, he is going to ask her to marry him!
Paige approaches Spencer's bed and says that she needs his help in order to save Blair's life. After Paige explains Blair's condition, Spencer asks what brought Blair back. Paige starts to say that Todd came into Blair's room and Spencer guesses that it was Blair's love for Todd that gave her the will to live. Spencer tells Paige that he won't help her. After Paige leaves, Spencer says, "I'm sorry, Blair. If I can't have you, no one will�"
Next on One Life to Live: Vincent accuses Cris of burning down his warehouse, Natalie is furious when she finds out that John didn't take his medicine, Antonio asks Nash to run Capricorn for him and Jessica wonders if she's in love with two men�

Dorchester County Council gave first reading to its fiscal year 2014-2015 budget May 5.
The FY 15 budget includes $44.2 million in general fund expenses, $3.8 million in capital improvement fund expenses and $3.3 million in debt service expenses.
The proposed budget comes hand in hand with a recommendation from the state Senate Finance Committee to decrease the amount of money provided to counties via the Local Government Fund.
According to state law, 4.5 percent of the state general fund revenue of the previous year should be paid to local governments. For several years the legislature has voted to suspend the statute, decreasing the amount of money provided to counties and municipalities.
In the most recent Senate Finance recommendation, the committee is proposing to decrease the Local Government Fund even more; Dorchester County would receive a $389,252 cut from last years funds.
The county is already being underfunded by $1.8 million. If the recommendation is approved, Dorchester County will be operating on a $2.1 million deficit of state provided funds.
Since the first suspension of the Local Government Fund, the county has missed out on more than $7 million.
This is starting to matter, this is starting to hurt, said Council Chairman Bill Hearn.
Councilman Larry Hargett was quick to remind the council the Senate Finance recommendation also included a pay raise for the legislature.
The FY 15 budget was given first reading by title only; in the coming weeks the county will host several budget planning workshops and public hearings to review the proposed budget and make changes. Council is scheduled to give final reading to the budget at the June 16 council meeting in St. George.

Texas Senate race heats up; David Dewhurst takes flak from key lawmaker
The presidential race isn't the only political contest that is capturing the attention of Texans. The U.S. Senate race is getting some attention, too. State Sen. Steve Ogden, R-Bryan, said recently that Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst was ineffective because he "made it clear early (in the legislative session) that he wanted to be the United States senator from Texas rather than lieutenant governor.'" [Read More]

What an eye opening and though provoking book. Emily's gift is shining through and it encourages me to live the life that God wants for ME only.
This book changed the way I look at life and the way God made us. Emily P. Freeman has the ability to write truths that I know in my heart (and from the Bible) but never quite put together or thought out loud, if that makes sense. I would recommend this book to anyone and believe so strongly in this message that I actually bought 8 copies to share with friends and family!
An AMAZING book!! I would recommend it to everyone I know :) If you feel a stirring inside your soul that you were created for more, this book is for you!
The book is wonderful! Don't let the word "art" fool you into thinking you have to be an "artist" to read it. This book speaks to readers in all different walks of life. Emily Freeman has just a fresh and encouraging writing style. This book has literally changed my perspective on what I have to offer this world. I think it's especially helpful for those struggling with doubt, fear, and even perfectionism. If you believe you have nothing to offer, but deep down hope that you do, this book is a MUST READ. Be prepared to experience new found faith, courage, desire and encouragement.
A Million Little Ways, my No. 1 book of the Year, is more than just a book. It is God helping me discover that I am gifted; showing me the areas of my gifting and the purpose of the gifting. It is God-inspired writing for such a time as this. I needed to hear the words so aptly written in simple and clear words. Highly recommended.God bless you Emily, more than a million ways!
Loved loved loved the book! Would recommend it to all my friends!!!! It is hard to read books on Christian living but this one was a breeze! Loved having the interactive book club!!!!
I have already recommended this book to many of my friends in Bible study group. Even shared video from online with a few. WONDERFUL book. And many thanks to the person who sponsered me.
This book is one I will continue to refer to and reread! It was an awesome Bloom book club selection this Fall. So many have been (in)couraged to realize and release their inner art after reading Emily Freeman's book. To quote her, "We are a poem written inside the person of Christ and exist to carry out his inner desire--an image bearer with a job to do." Simply life changing!

There's a new batch of photos up at Caught on Set of minka filming new scenes!
Source and Full Set
There's a new batch of photos up at Caught on Set of minka filming new scenes!
Meet one of the new Charlie's Angels! Minka is officially cast as one of three new angels coming to a television near you. Here's a little bit of information on her character as it stands now below.
Kelly's character, Marisa, is as "a former U.S. Marine, a weapons expert trained in all forms of hand-to-head combat and a neat freak."
Rachael Taylor and Annie Ilonzeh round out the cast as the other two. Here's hoping the show doesn't fail and we get to see Minka back on screen more often
Minka Kelly is officially Esquire's Sexiest Woman Alive for 2010. The magazine settled down with her to discuss growin up, hobbies and her life. Congratulations to Minka on the amazing win. It's definitely well deserved. I'll add photos from the shoot later on in the week, but for now, they have images on the Esquire site and you'll find the link below to go view them.
"Done with the twenties. I'm confident — confident in my skin, and I'm cool with my flaws and all that stuff. It just feels nice to be at peace with yourself. I think my thirtieth birthday gave me permission to have all that. The twenties were a pain in the ass — figuring it all out. What am I doing? Where do I go?"
Read the whole interview and view some more images at Esquire Magazine
Minka Kelly has stated that she is proud of her work raising funds to fight cancer.
The actress told OK that her fundraising efforts are inspired by the memory of her mother Maureen, who died from the disease in 2008.
Kelly was honoured at the Self Magazine Women Doing Good ceremony earlier this week for her fundraising activities with Stand Up To Cancer.
"It's (the award) extremely flattering," she said. "To be recognised for this kind of work is gratifying because people are paying attention to your cause."
While she finds her charity work rewarding, Kelly admitted that it is still difficult to cope with the loss of her mother.
"Doing this kind of work doesn't ever fill a void when you lose someone, but it definitely fills you with a sense of purpose.
"You're fighting back for the ones you love. It makes you feel like you're not just sitting there."
The star concluded: "I wish well-wishes on anyone who has to deal with this. It's devastating."
I told you yesterday that there was a rumor of Minka landing a role on How I Met Your Mother but unfortunately it has been confirmed today that the role has gone to Jennifer Morrison. Hopefully Minka lands something soon!

Submission Guidelines
Project Syndicate welcomes unsolicited submissions, representing a broad range of academic and professional fields and points of view, by qualified authors from around the world. Prospective contributors are encouraged to acquaint themselves with Project Syndicate's offerings when considering whether their submission addresses a relevant topic.
Authors should also note that Project Syndicate's mission is to provide its member publications with original commentary that analyzes, rather than reports on, current global events and trends, thereby giving deeper meaning and context to their coverage. Contributors typically have demonstrated expertise on, or related to, the topic they are addressing.
Prospective contributors should adhere to the following guidelines:
– The submission must be in English, accompanied by a brief note containing a short description of the commentary and the author's qualifications.
– The submission must be exclusive to Project Syndicate. Submissions that have been published elsewhere in any form and in any language, in print or online, will not be considered.
– The submission should be made directly by the author or author's staff. Public-relations representatives are requested to advise their clients accordingly.
– The ideal length of a Project Syndicate commentary is 800-900 words. Submissions must not be shorter than 700 words or exceed 1,000 words.
– Project Syndicate commentaries are aimed at a knowledgeable non-specialist audience. Submissions may not contain footnotes or endnotes, though they should include, wherever possible, links to cited data, quotes, speeches, reports, or academic research.
– Accompanying images, graphs, or figures should be at least 540 pixels wide and must be submitted in JPEG or PNG format. We prefer to create graphs in-house, so inclusion of raw data sets is recommended. We reserve the right not to use such materials.
In some cases, submissions are accepted for online-only use. These commentaries appear on Project Syndicate's website but are not syndicated to our member publications.
Authors whose submissions have been accepted are notified as quickly as possible. All questions regarding an accepted submission should be directed to the relevant Project Syndicate editor. Authors are requested not to contact Project Syndicate's Prague office regarding the status of an accepted submission.
Unfortunately, we cannot respond to every submission. Prospective contributors who do not receive a reply within five days should feel free to submit their manuscript elsewhere.

The Journal Sentinel education reporters offer news and notes from their beat
Growing Power grant to help schools access local food
Milwaukee's nonprofit urban farm Growing Power has been awarded nearly a nearly $100,000 grant to provide more locally sourced food to city schools, according to a news release from U.S. Rep. Gwen Moore.
Growing Power was awarded the $99,868 federal grant in connection with Farm to School, a United States Department of Agriculture program that aims to improve agriculture and nutrition education by providing more local foods to schools, according to the release.
Moore indicates the participating schools are in the Milwaukee Public Schools system, but does not say which specific schools would benefit from Growing Power's new grant.

By Sgt. Sara Wood, USAAmerican Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, June 12, 2006 The Defense Department will inform servicemembers who could be affected by the May theft of personal data from the Department of Veterans Affairs through their monthly pay statements, a DoD spokesman said here today.
DoD is in the middle of an analysis to determine how many active-duty, Reserve and National Guard servicemembers could be affected by the data loss, which occurred when a VA employee loaded personal data onto a laptop, which was then stolen from his home, Army Lt. Col. Jeremy Martin said. The VA initially reported that the data stolen included personal information on as many as 26.5 million veterans, and later updated the report to include as many as 1.1 million active-duty servicemembers, 430,000 National Guardsmen, and 645,000 members of the Reserves as possible victims.
These numbers are preliminary, as the DoD and VA are still working to determine exactly what data was on the laptop.
When the analysis is completed in upcoming weeks, the Defense Finance and Accounting Service will inform those servicemembers who are determined to be vulnerable by putting a note on the bottom of their monthly leave and earnings statements, Martin said. The note will include phone numbers and Web sites that will provide more information on identity theft and what troops can do to protect themselves, he said.
The VA has set up a special Web site and a toll-free telephone number for those possibly affected by the data loss: www.firstgov.gov and 1-800-FED-INFO (1-800-333-4636). Each features up-to-date news and information on the data compromise. The Web site provides steps on how to check credit reports, how to guard against identity theft, and who to call if an individual believes any fraudulent activity is occurring with his or her personal information.
Information relating to the defeat of identity theft also is available at the Military OneSource Web site, at www.militaryonesource.com.

DUBLIN, N.H. - This year's edition of "The Old Farmer's Almanac" is full of household tips that its editor hopes will resonate with people looking to save money and simplify their lives in tough economic times.
In the 2012 edition that comes out Tuesday, one reader suggests recycling saved greeting cards by adding new messages.
Another advises snipping single ripped legs off of two pairs of pantyhose and layering them to create a pair that's good as new.
Editor Janice Stillman says those ideas were among the winners of this year's essay contest that asked readers to write about their best original money-saving habits.
The 220-year-old book is believed to be the oldest continuously published periodical in North America.
