I'm pretty sure I got everything I need the last couple of sales

 

:lol: You know there are always a few (or more than a few) more you really *need* right? {Not admitting how many I have ordered in the past...}

 

Trying. not. to. look...

I don't believe the TEACHER50 code is working anymore. It won't let me use it, anyway, or any variation of it. Too bad, too... I had almost 30 ebooks in my cart... now to narrow down to a more reasonable budget...

Oy... I have a TON of recommendations. Too many to link, but I'll try to use exact titles so it's easy to search.

 

DS8 is currently doing Cursive Writing Practice Pages with a Twist after having done Cursive Writing Made Easy & Fun, and will follow up with Cursive Writing Practice: Inspiring Quotes and Cursive Writing Practice: Jokes and Riddles.

 

The Hands-on History and Easy Make & Learn books are amazing, and we've liked the projects we've done from them so far. Enough of them line up with SOTW 3-4 that I'm not going to buy the activity guides for 3 & 4.

 

Although they're higher-level (usually 4th or 5th grade and up) we've enjoyed the Read-Aloud Plays series so far. And again, they have many, many different books that line up with our history rotation, which reduces my need for the SOTW activity guides.

 

Instant Habitat Dioramas was not a total bust... DS8 loved the worksheets, but wasn't keen on the coloring and detail required. The final projects looked very nice.

 

Algebra Readiness Made Easy has been a complete hit so far. DS has done Gr. 1 & most of Gr. 2, and will be starting Gr. 3 soon. He can plow through one "packet" in a single sitting if I let him. I bought all of them, books 1 through 6 and book 7-8.

 

Menu Math (2-3) has been good so far (just started, really). We'll use it all year as a fun supplement, then move on to the next book in 4th.

 

We haven't started them yet, but there is a series of Analogies books that starts out teaching explicitly/step-by-step how to solve analogies. They're leveled 2-3, 4-5, and 6-8. From reading through them, they look fantastic.

 

I have snagged quite a few map skills and geography skills books in these sales, but none of them stand out enough to mention. They are useful as a reference and for the occasional activity/project.

 

I can't really review them yet, but I've picked up quite a few of the Pre-K Early Themes items for my not-yet-3yo DS.

 

Guilty admission: I'm up to 99 ebooks now and 10 ePages, all purchased from dollar deals sales, some with discount codes on top of that. :blush: Why yes, I am a curriculum hoarder...

 

 

ETA: The sale ends the 18th.

I got the Grammar Tales teaching guide and the Punctuation Tales teaching guide. The guides come with black and white copies of the books that can be colored. I own most of the other guides already.

 

I also got Easy Make and Learn Projects: Northeast Indians. I don't see this one go on sale often. I already own the Southwest Indian one.

Here's what we've done in the past:

 

We've enjoyed most of the Easy Make & Learn, Fresh & Fun and Hands On History. I imagine anything from those series would be nice. (We have them all, but haven't used them all.)

 

Mother Goose Phonics and Mother Goose Math are fun extras.

 

Tunes that Teach American History and Tunes that Teach Spelling are fun and do come with MP3 downloads.

 

My five-year-old (who has worked through EM's Beginning Geograph) enjoyed Fun-to-Solve Map Mysteries this year as well.

 

This sale, we will be buying:

Adorable Wearables That Teach About the Human Body

 

Adorable Wearables That Teach Early Concepts

 

Amazing Animal Art Projects

 

Easy Make & Learn: Animal Habitats

 

Learn the Alphabet Arts & Crafts (for my toddler)

 

Soda Bottle Science

 

Coffee Can Science

 

Sandwich Bag Science

 

Ready-to-Go Super Book of Outline Maps

 

...and maybe a few Cursive items because we are planning on finishing up cursive next year.

It looks like some books are in this sale that haven't been in the last several dollar sales.

 

Yes. I see atleast two that I wanted to buy and were never on sale before:

Vocabulary Packets - Prefixes and Suffixes

Vocabulary Packets - Greek and Latin Roots

 

 

Algebra Readiness Made Easy have been a hit here too. :)

I loved this sale. I got a lot of books I didn't see in past sales and some that I skipped in the last sale. I love the Number Tales, Alphatales etc. teaching guides. They have printables of all the books in their series them. I'm excited about the Teaching with . . . books series as well. There were also a ton of good math and phonics resources available as well. What did you all get?

Thank you, thank you! I was looking at the individual books thinking how great some of them were, didn't realise the guides come with mini-book versions of all of them. Perfect! :hurray: I'm getting all of the guides: Grammar Tales, Punctuation Tales, Sight Word Tales, Number Tales, Alpha Tales. Great value!
