Curriculum Review

The best subjects I teach are the ones I love the most. Only makes sense, doesn’t it? What I find funny about the whole thing is the subjects I love now were the ones I hated when I was in school. I understand now that I wasn’t taught according to my learning style. What a difference that would have made! Nonetheless, my writing lesson have fallen by the way. It was easy with my oldest son as he is a natural writer. All I had to say was “Go write a bio on G. Washington” and it was done. Usually one edit and the paper was placed in a binder. The second son was  a bit more traumatic. I didn’t have any writing lessons or curriculum to fall back on either as I hadn’t bought any before. So we suffered. My bad. Finally, I am getting it right on the third son! Good thing I have four of them. These next few postings are going to be reviews of curriculum I bought for writing classes. I would have rather spent the money on science projects, history unit studies and logic games. But I invested in some pretty good writing stuff. I hope to give you enough detail to know if these products are worth buying for your family. Let me get working on the first writing review! See you soon!

Oreo Recipe! Yummo!

When I came across this recipe, I had to make it immediately.  Seriously, I went out 1 hour after finding it and had it ready within 1 hour.  This is called Oreo Ice Cream Sundae.

Ingredients:

1 pkg. oreo cookies

1 carton of vanilla ice cream

1 jar hot fudge topping (hershey’s brand is the most delish)

1 container of unfrozen cool whip

Directions:

1)  Using a blender or food processor crumble the whole package of oreos and put 3/4 of the cookie on the bottom of a 9X13 dish.

2)  Open the box around the ice cream (sides, top, ends).  Leave the rectangle of ice cream laying on the bottom of the ice cream box.  Slice the ice cream with a knife into 1/2 inch layers and put on top of the oreo cookie bottom until covered.

3)  Melt one jar of the hot fudge topping and pour over ice cream.

4)  Top with your container of cool whip.

5)  Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cookie crumbles on top.

6)  Enjoy!
