Presidential Penmanship from Zeezok…
With so much of our nation’s history being washed down the tubes it’s refreshing to get ahold of products like Presidential Penmanship.

Math Tutor DVD…
While my children have all done very well with math, learning a new concept is always a little bit of a challenge. I mean… we are learning something new, right? When we received the Math Help: The Basic Math Word Problem Tutor DVD, I was thrilled. Over time my oldest two (10 & 9) have figured out how to deconstruct a word problem, but not without a little bit of agony. My youngest son, now 7, is just at the beginning of his word problem adventure and Math Tutor DVD ... continue reading...
