Time For Kids Big Book of Science Experiments Review

December 23, 2011 By Momstart 6 Comments

By Summer:

Once Christmas is over the school year ramps up again, and with that is usually SCIENCE FAIRS! If you’re missing that one last gift this holiday season think about TIME for Kids Big Book of Science Experiences. If you have an engineer, ecologist, physicist or other budding scientist then this is an everyday book for them. If you have a student who struggles in science this book is a step-by-step guide to more than 100 projects for science fair success. Owning this book (especially if you have more than one child) is a no brainer! TIME for Kids Big Book of Science Experiences is also “powdered” by Mad Science, you may have heard of them from their camps in your local area.

The TIME for Kids Big Book of Science Experiences offers sections in Earth Science, Life Science, Physical Science, Technology and Engineering, and (just in case) Science Fair Success Secrets. My almost 5YO is all about getting our book asking to do experiments. He’ll browse the book and find one that looks interesting to him; though he isn’t able to do the experiences himself, MAINLY because he refuses to read.

The first experiment my husband and sons (almost 5YO and 2YO) did was on Earth Science and the differences and properties of salt water and fresh water. Here’s how it went:

My sons both enjoyed it. They loved doing an experiment and spending the time with daddy. What a fun book! I’d highly recommend this for families and classrooms. If you need a last minute gift or stocking stuffer for you household or if you’d like to get your child’s classroom teacher an new fun and practical book than buy TIME for Kids Big Book of Science Experiences.

Fund a Teacher’s Project through Bing and DonorsChoose.org

May 28, 2010 By Momstart 8 Comments

Bing is more than just a search engine. Bing is working on ways to help people find information. They know that students are one of their top users and they want to do something for them. So, by helping teachers raise money for projects they are making a difference in communities all over the United States. Bing and DonorsChoose.org have teamed up to raise money for teachers and projects that will help them to inspire greatness in their students. Teacher Appreciation starts here! Teachers are so important and I know they are the least respected and in most areas not paid for the value they provide us all.

I have been given 100.00 to donate to a school of my choice, and I want to choose something local. Looking at all the different projects made choosing something very difficult. I took in a lot of factors, and ended up choose a school in a small city very close to mine. The teacher is only asking for a very small gift. She wants to provide a subscription of TIME FOR KIDS for each of her students. I just reviewed TIME FOR KIDS on my blog and I love it. I know she is going to be able to use it to inspire her students.

I teach first graders who are always eager to learn. The majority come from homes without books and books at their reading level aren’t available. Over 70% of my students qualify for the free/reduced lunch program and 65% are English Language Learners. Over 45% of my students qualify for Title I reading assistance and/or Special Education instruction."

You can make a difference too. Just visit www.bing.com/education and post a comment or share a story about a teacher that touched your life or your child’s life and Bing will provide you with a $5 donation to DonorsChoose.org. You can then apply it toward any classroom project of your choice. Each visitor can leave up to 5 comments for a total of $25 that you can use as a donation. At the end of June, Bing will aggregate the comments and share them with each teacher in the form of a congratulations letter.

"I wrote this review while participating in a blog tour campaign by Mom Central on behalf of Bing and a $100 DonoseChoose.org giving code to facilitate my review. Mom Central also sent me a thank-you gift certificate."

President Obama The day and life of a President kids Time Magazine #Giveaway

October 23, 2009 By Momstart 14 Comments

I think the first time I saw a copy of this was when I was walking down the book aisle at Target. I was thinking I should probably get this for my kids because they are going to have to do a report on this some day in school. President Obama is the first African American President, he hasn’t even completed his first year and office and he won the Nobel Peace Prize. I mean, this issue of Time for Kids came out before he won the Nobel Peace prize but it is still an interesting read.

The pictures are wonderful and I’m always up for seeing how Michelle has picked out the best outfits for her entire family. The President always looks super sharp as do both of her daughters. In A Day in the Life of America’s Leader you can ready how Barak Obama made it to the White House, Who helps Obama make the Tough Calls, and see behind the scenes with the family and inside the White House.

I am proud to be an American and feel that if I agree with all his platforms or not he is a good leader for this Country.

So I present to you:
