I don’t even think ice-cream in the middle of a heat wave can beat the voltaic joy of winning.
Well, perhaps that. But it’s right up there among the joys of life.

Our friends at Master Books have donated five sets each of Matter, Forces & Motion, and Energy for you to have a chance to win, enjoy, and learn from this upcoming school year.

The three-book sets feature the student text, student notebook, and teacher’s guide for easy teaching and fun lessons. Dig Deeper exercises, What Did you Learn questions, observation experiments, bolded new vocabulary, and easily understood (interesting!) texts will help your kids absorb science alongside a God-honoring worldview.

Leah Bullock reviewed the Forces & Motion Teacher’s Guide:

This is a thought provoking curriculum which encourages students to think biblically and scientifically. Forces in Motion engages many levels of students to think in depth about twenty different basic scientific topics. Using different learning styles, students are drawn into the lesson.

Some FUN new things this week!

Did you enter the contest for the chance to win a copy of Vision Forum’s new “The Mysterious Islands” DVD yet? And while you’re over there, you might as well check out the other giveaways we have going on.

Now that you have that taken care of, settle down to read our new interview with Lamplighter President & Founder Mark Hamby! I had such a fun time reading his responses (that he kindly sent from London! I’m trying not to be jealous!) and you’ll get a sneak-peek at all the many new projects they’re currently working on as well as learning a lot about the company and their books.

Continuing on the reading theme, this week’s article is a short-but-sweet reminder from Todd Wilson on Intentional Parenting.

Lastly, for  Shurley English fans, check out the new Shurley English Vocabulary Madness series, as well as the younger-level Jingle Time Coloring Books, both now in our Shurley Store. And for musicians who’d like the option to play the jingles themselves, we also now have the Jingle Music for Levels 1 & 2 and for Levels 3-8!
