Giveaway from Friendly Chemistry: A $100 Teacher & Student Curriculum Set!

After a quick read through the introduction of Friendly Chemistry, you'll find that, hmm, chemistry is a little more interesting than you thought.  Read a bit longer and you'll find yourself surprisingly absorbed in elements and molecules.  Then...gather some students,  teach a Friendly Chemistry lesson and you'll see that chemistry is not only fun, but the kids are asking to have another chemistry class!  Say what?!  I know I never asked for a repeat of a chemistry class when I was their age!  But I was never taught friendly chemistry like this kid is...

That's our 13yo, who is demonstrating "Element Bingo," in which he places playing pieces on element symbols (eg. Fe) as I call out the element's full name (eg. Iron). Friendly Chemistry, a 32-week program, is full of hands-on learning suggestions like element bingo.

The writers and publishers of Friendly Chemistry are Joey and Lisa Hajda, two very qualified teachers.  They describe Friendly Chemistry like this: "Friendly Chemistry was written using simple language and a host of analogies to make learning (and teaching!) chemistry easy.  We believe that the chemistry concepts presented in Friendly Chemistry are NOT watered-down.  The concepts are just explained in ways that are readily understood by most learners.  Coupled with these explanations is a host of teaching aids, labs and games which makes the learning concrete and multi-sensory.  Students find the course fun and painless.  Parents often comment, 'I wish I had had this when I was taking chemistry.   Now it all makes so much sense!' "

Visit the Friendly Chemistry site for answers to questions about the program for homeschoolers or for answers to questions about using the program in private or public schools. The set retails for $100 ($50 for the student edition, including manipulatives + $50 for the teacher edition).

Guess what? The publishers want to offer one of you a free set of Friendly Chemistry. 

This giveaway includes:

• Student text
• Teacher text
• Set of manipulatives:
  •     Doo-wop Board, which is a unique tool to teach electron orbital arrangements and ionization.
    
  •     Element Flashcards
  •     Doo-wop Mania card game
  •     Compound Intensity cards to accompany Compound Intensity Board Game found in the Friendly Chemistry Teacher's edition
  •     Ion Flashcards which are multisized cards which not only teach ion symbol and charge, but also how compounds form.
  •     Bag of playing pieces, chips and dice.

The winning set will look like the one below, although there may be a few differences, since I photographed our set which we've been using for months.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This time, you may enter more than once!  You get one entry per comment, but you may comment more than once by...

1. Leaving a comment, saying you want one. That's easy!

4. Blogging this giveaway, then come back and give us the link so we can visit your blog, too.

Only one entry per method, okay? Entries are open to all countries! Friendly Chemistry adds, "we may need to negotiate postage for an overseas winner if necessary."  Random.org will select the winner.  The winning entry will be verified.  Entry deadline: Friday, August 6th, at noon CST.

Giveaway from Salem Ridge Press for 5 Winners!

One of my favorite publishing companies has offered to kick off our FreelyEducate.com Giveaway Days with our first giveaway of the week:  A softcover book of your choice will be sent to 5 of you! 

A couple of years ago, we received three books from Salem Ridge Press, a tiny family-run publishing company "dedicated to bringing back quality children's books of the 1800's and early 1900's for a new generation of readers."  We received Mary Jane (Her Book), Glaucia the Greek Slave, and The White Seneca. They are still, two years later, three of our favorite books.

My favorite thing about Salem Ridge Press is that I can trust them.  They are so thorough in their review process, that they publish only those books with the highest moral and literary qualities. I know two things when I order a Salem Ridge Press book:  It is a book that is okay for the kids to read, and they'll enjoy reading it. 

The complete Salem Ridge Press listing contains, if I counted correctly, 27 books.  You may view the list by time period, age group, alphabetically, or by author.  

Do you want a free book?

Salem Ridge Press wants to give away FIVE books!  Five winners will receive one softcover book, of the winner's choice, in the mail, straight from the publisher (no cost, not even shipping)! (Value: $14.95 each book, plus shipping)

Here's how to enter:

It's simple!  Go to Salem Ridge Press, choose the book you'd like to win, and let us know your choice in the comments, below. 

If you want to get another entry in the hat, do one or all of these options, after you have entered with the above method:

1. Sign up for the Salem Ridge Press quarterly newsletter.

2. Tweet this giveaway, then let us know you did.

3. Facebook about this giveaway, then let us know you did that.

4. Blog this giveaway, then come back and give us the link so we can visit your blog, too.

Only one entry per method, okay?  Please post each entry separately. Only US addresses this time.  Random.org will select the winner.  The winning entries will be verified.  Deadline:  Friday, August 6th, 2010, at noon CST.

The Giveaway is Now Open to UK, Australian and Canadian Readers, too!

I'm excited to let you know that Marie, the founder of All About Spelling, let me know she'd be happy to mail the giveaway to a reader in the UK, Australia, or Canada, as well as to a U.S. reader.   Yay! 

Go to the All About Spelling giveaway post to enter.

GIVEAWAY! A Full Spelling Curriculum! (CLOSED)

All About Spelling isn't a - yawn! - workbook method of learning spelling.   Instead, All About Spelling is a hand-on spelling program that will interest every kid in your bunch, as it has ours...

The All About Spelling program is logical and organized enough for even me to figure out and use easily with children at four different levels (grades 8, 6, 4, and 1).  The system uses letter tiles (pictured above) and flashcards to teach spelling.

Our family receives all sorts of educational products to possibly review for Freely Educate, and while we only post reviews of products that we think are good, we don't always keep the products to use in our own little school. All About Spelling, however, definitely will be staying at home in our schoolroom.  It is solving our problem of poor spellers (they are so very phonetic!) while making the effort as painless as possible for the teacher (me). 

Here is a little more about the All About Spelling program from the publishers:

"All About Spelling is your clear action plan for teaching spelling. Designed for effective, stress free teaching, the series progresses in a logical, sequential order. Through direct instruction, students learn exactly what they need to know in order to spell well.

The All About Spelling program brings together three pathways to learning - auditory (hearing), visual (seeing), and kinesthetic (touching).  This multisensory approach, combined with a built-in review system and reinforcement activities, ensures that students retain what they learn and understand how to apply it in practical situations."

Go to the All About Spelling site to learn more about the program and to order a free report called, "The 20 Best Tips for Teaching Spelling."

We want to give away a set of All About Spelling's  Level One to one of you.

The winner's package will include:

• AAS Level One set (book and student Material Packet)
•  Letter Tiles
• Phonogram Audio CD-ROM

All of that will be sent to one of you, shipped free, of course!  (value: $56.90 and free s/h)

2009 Note:  Since we are just now starting out with All About Spelling, we started even our big 13yo 7th grader in Level One.  He's whizzing through it, as he should, but the reinforcement of the basics is good for him as well as for his 11yo, 5th grade sister.  Our 8yo (3rd grader) also is doing Level One, at a much slower pace.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This time, you may enter more than once!  You get one entry per comment, but you may comment more than once by...

1. Just leave a comment, saying you want one. That's easy!
2. Visit All About Spelling, click on Articles (top of the home page), then come back here and tell us which of their article titles sound most helpful to what you're facing in your school. 
3. Blog about this giveaway on your blog or website then come back here and leave a link to the blog post so we can visit you.
4. Tweet about this giveaway (copy your tweet to @freelyeducate).
5. Facebook about this giveaway or join our Facebook fan page.

That's 5 ways to increase your chances of winning!  You can enter up to 5 times.  But, remember, you need to enter 5 separate times, because that makes it much easier for me to count up entries when I go to Random. org to select the winner.

More Rules, sigh:

• Click on "Comments" below* to leave your comment and other entries (separately, remember)
• The form will ask for your email address but only I will see it.  Promise.  And I never, ever spam.
• One winner will be selected randomly from the entries (comments) through Random.org's random number generator
• US entries only (head ducking; I'm sorry!)  Yay!  This giveaway is now open to U.K., Australian, and Canadian readers as well as U.S. readers!
• Deadline:  Saturday, July 10th, at noon CST

Comment away!  Who wants one?

GIVEAWAY! Summer Bridge Activities Books for FIVE Winners! (ended)

Carson-Dellosa Publishing mailed a few of their Summer Bridge Activities books to our children, ages 12, 10, and 7, to review.  The kids have had fun reviewing the books for the past month.  They love learning,  enjoy a challenge, and always like getting something in the mail!   Our children think they are the recipients of a gift: they received books that they are enjoying immensely.  But I think I received the greater part of the gift, for I have happy, busy children who are contentedly learning this Summer. 

Summer Bridge Activities help your preschool through 8th grade child retain learned knowledge during the Summer. The investment?  Just 15  minutes a day for 12 weeks. When the new school year comes, your child will be ahead of the class, which makes going back to school a lot less scary, don't you think?

 

Carson-Dellosa Publishging describes Summer Bridge Activities like this:

A best seller for more than a decade, SUMMER BRIDGE ACTIVITIES™ is newly revised and redesigned for 2010. 

According to the National Summer Learning Association, many students lose one to three months of learning over the summer months.  Carson-Dellosa’s award-winning Summer Bridge Activities workbook series helps parents keep their kids’ minds sharp during school vacation. 

Carson Dellosa’s Summer Bridge Activities workbooks consist of daily activities in reading, writing, mathematics, and language arts with bonus activities in science and geography for grades Pre-K through 8^th. The series includes activities and games, flash cards, incentive calendars to keep kids motivated and a certificate of completion. Each of the workbooks reviews the year the child has just completed and previews the year they are about to enter.

To learn more about the Summer Bridge Activities books, visit Carson-Dellosa Publishing online. 

Would you like to receive a Summer Bridge Activities book for FREE?  Carson-Dellosa has offered to mail (free!) an activity book to FIVE winners.  

Here's how to enter this giveaway:

1. Comment below, letting us know which grade level book you would choose if you won (K-1, 1-2, 2-3, 3-4, 4-5, 5-6, 6-7, 7-8)

GIVEAWAY! Hallmark is giving away a JOURNAL and a BUNDLE of CARDS to TWO FreelyEducate.com readers!

 
So, it goes without saying that everyone needs to be cheered on now and then – kids included. Whether it’s school, sports or trying to make new friends, the children in our lives are on a journey of growth and self-exploration. Few things are more helpful to kids than the support of a parent or grown-up who believes in them and is there with a few heartfelt words of encouragement.
 
But sometimes, what kids hear “goes in one ear and out the other,” meaning that kids are often missing out on something they really need: encouraging words. In fact, Hallmark research revealed that the moms they surveyed think they are encouraging their children all the time, but in the moments when their kids most needed encouragement, the kids didn’t feel like it was there.
 
To help grown-ups better connect with and encourage kids, Hallmark recently introduced the all-new Kids Collection, a line of cards and gifts designed specifically to cheer kids on, cheer them up and make them smile. You can check out some of Hallmark’s Kids Collection. There, you’ll see a sampling of the gifts and cards that are available for grown-ups to share with the kids in their lives. Within the line, there are cards appropriate for children falling within your kids’ age range, so I thought it might be something you’d like to share with them for their feedback.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Lori here (the above text was courtesy of Hallmark) I received a bundle of cards and two journals in the mail to review.  This new Kids Collection is much better than the photos I managed to find online.  Some of the cards are recordable or include music, some have just the right words written, and some have  little "trinkets"...a bracelet or a little medal to put in a pocket.  Even our 14yo very manly (cough) teenager claimed a few items, including a "keep out or else" journal with skull art.

So, want some  stuff, too? As I said before, Hallmark is giving away a JOURNAL and a BUNDLE of CARDS to TWO FreelyEducate.com readers (You get to choose if you'd like the journal for a girl or a boy)

How to Enter?  You can enter a few different ways:

1. The Easy Peasy Way:  Say you want one in the comments below.

2. Tweet this giveaway.

3. Facebook this giveaway.

4. Blog this giveaway.

Only one entry per method per day, okay? And, only US addresses this time (sorry!).  Random.org will select the winner.  Deadline:  Thursday, April 15th, 2010, at noon CST, so you'll have time to finish your taxes afterward.  Right?

p.s. Hallmark is offering a free Kids Collection card to all of you.  You'll have to go to a Hallmark store by May 30, 2010.
