Spring is Springing! A Product Review

So, this seems a little unusual, but the first product for education that I am going to blog about is NOT one from ELA in Middle School! It also is not for ELA, or necessarily for Middle School! You see, our daughter, Laura Gottschall, her husband, Geno (of Geno Gottschall and His Rockaholics fame), homeschool their 3 youngest, Kaliea, Leovani and Joseph. They also live with Nana and Opa, so we help out with the homeschool side as well. And we often find resources for their educational use.

One of these resources I recently found is called Spring is Springing! This is a science resource, and it is my favorite price as a consumer...FREE! It was created by Kaylee Cleghorn, owner and teacher- author of Edukos. Kaylee is a new, and young, teacher and teacher-entrepreneur, but she is definitely going to become successful in both careers!

The resource is a four-page PDF, and it teaches your student-scholars to take a scientific approach to nature and watching things grow, particularly in the Spring. This is not a "one and done" kind of lesson, as students track the growth of plants from seedling on, and has a number of factors that the young "budding" (I'm a grandfather, I GET to make bad puns!) scientists can track. As Leovani, our 1st grader, said, "This is cool! I get to be a scientific farmer!"

Pay Kaylee and Edukos a visit, pick up this great product, and see what she has to offer!
