Reviews and things

Obviously I've let this portion of the blog go to seed. I originally started Live and Learn for the sole purpose of blogging our homeschooling journey. Silly me, I thought that would remain a separate subject from the life and activities I posted in the journal. Now that the living and learning is being posted in the journal, this space has become neglected.

There's a new plan, though. This section of the blog will now be dedicated to reviews and lists of materials we've used. When we come across especially good books, or games, or other tools of learning I will review them here. Although we try to unschool, we end up doing a lot of unit study style research, so I'll post the tools, resources, and projects from each of our explorations here, as well, something I've already done a few times. I actually have a handful of posts I started over the past month or so that I never got around to finishing and posting, like a review of Math-U-See and resource lists for some of our prehistory explorations, so I'll finish those and back post them.

I don't know if this information will be of help to anyone, but I do know that similar lists on other sites have been helpful to me, and I like record keeping anyhow. Crazy, I know.
