Brain Aerobics FUNNNNNNN!!!!

Wow!  Brain Aerobics!  Summer would not be the same without this little product!  Brain Aerobics is chock full of word games and puzzles that help to reinforce all the language arts skills your children learned throughout the last school year.  Each game or puzzle is presented in a fun and engaging way that keeps the interest of the child and makes them feel they are actually playing rather than “doing” a school activity.  The activities are printed on reproducible pages that you can print for a single student, multiple students or an entire classroom.  While I am using this product during the summer months with my son who is entering 5^th grade, I plan to continue to use this product throughout our next year too.  The activities stimulate reasoning skills and provide intriguing and creative ways to solve puzzles and word games all while using pertinent grammar concepts and even showcasing vocabulary!  It’s amazing how my son literally loves to work on his Brain Aerobics activities!  Some of the puzzles and word games are seen through magic squares, twisted words, palindromes, acrostics, rhymes, and jumbles.  What an awesome resource to have on hand in any homeschool or classroom alike!

It's THE BEST Yet!!!!

Oh!  I am so very excited to tell you about STEM Challenges!  This product is simply amazing.  STEM Challenges is chock-full of 30 different STEM challenging activities that require common household materials.  There is very low prepping to be done in order for the student/s to complete the activities.  In fact, the challenges can be done as a class or individually!  Thus, STEM Challenges is absolutely perfect for homeschool or classroom environments!  In addition, the product would be an amazing addition to an afterschool classroom!  Gosh! It would be totally perfect for that! 

 

The product is available in Seasonal Challenges or Year-round Challenges.  “STEM Challenges” covers physical, life, and earth and space science topics.  The student will be able to see exactly what they are attempting to prove or investigate through viewing the “challenge” section, and the items needed for the challenge are clearly defined with a visual list under the “Get Your Gear” section.  On the back of the activity card, there are three sections to get the child’s thinking skills to blossom!  There is a “Hint” section that will help facilitate the student in the right direction of completing the challenge.  Then, the student will take advantage of the “STEAM” section that gives the students various “digging deeper” questions based on the challenges.  There is also a “What’s Going On” section that expounds upon the challenge subject and provides a deeper explanation of exactly why and how the challenge is being achieved along with the science behind the activity  This is achieved all without giving any answers of how to actually perform to challenge activity.  In addition to the educational aspect of the product, every activity card is made from durable cardstock to last for years to come!

I truly believe all classrooms and homeschools should have at least one of STEM Challenges activity boxes!  I’m so glad I have BOTH!  Carson Dellosa has outdone themselves with this product!  Seriously, you must get a box and try it yourself!  They are super fun and a phenomenal way of engaging students in STEM!!!!
