Sight Words- Learn with Rock ‘N Learn! Contest

August 9, 2011 by Samantha 245 Comments

Rock ‘n Learn teaches kids using music.
“Rock ‘N Learn began as an idea that would help children learn by putting educational material to music with a current sound — the kind of music that kids enjoy and find motivating. Now with over 50 products, we have sold millions of audio/book and video programs to teachers and parents throughout the United States, Canada, and other countries.
Rock ‘N Learn programs helps students learn math, phonics, reading, early childhood, social studies, Spanish, test-taking strategies, writing, and science. Our DVDs incorporate music with exciting, colorful imagery.”

The kids really enjoy it, and it is really cute when they start singing along. When kids are enjoying what they are learning, they are more likely to retain the information being presented- not to mention that they are more likely to pay attention! My Pre-K class does our own sight words several times a week, and it was interesting to see how they responded to “other” sight words. We use the local Kindergarten’s list to go on. These words were a bit different, and were certainly presented to them in a different way then I do. They loved it from the first few minutes.

The kids thought it was fun, and they got upset when I turned it off before it was over. (Hey- it was lunchtime!) I told them I would let them watch the rest later- and they were asking for it as soon as they woke up from nap. They even said they would watch it instead of going outside! I said no, they had to go outside- it’s important for kids to be active- but that I would skip doing OUR afternoon sight words and finish the DVD that day, as a special treat. (OOOOh, how nice of me- letting them learn sight words instead of sight words! LOL)

We have done these sight words in addition to our sight words since seeing the video that day. They are so excited to learn more words, it makes me feel good. And they sing along, and are learning the new words very quickly. We only do the Rock ‘n Learn sight words if we do our weekly ones well- so it is motivation for the kids to try their best.

Here is a little more information about Sight Words–
“Sight words are the most frequently used words in the English language, and this DVD helps students learn to read them automatically. As a supplement to phonics-based strategies, Rock ‘N Learn Sight Words boosts reading and spelling skills. Children learn over 60 sight words through engaging characters, entertaining songs, and fun practice. Words are presented in context to help build reading comprehension. Includes all pre-primer Dolch words, the top 20 from Fry’s, and more. A bonus section helps kids with word shapes and spelling skills. “

You can buy a DVD here, or enter to win below!

Mars Needs Moms- Review and Contest

August 6, 2011 by Samantha 393 Comments

We just received a copy of Mars Needs Moms for review, and we loved it! My kids really liked it- and my son is being very nice to me, for fear that an alien will try to take me away if he’s not nice to his mommy. NOT really the thing I was looking for out of a movie- but he’s not having nightmares, and he’s being an extra-good boy, so I’ll take it! 🙂

The animation was insane! The acting came through, and you can almost forget that it is computer generated and not “real” people on screen. The facial gestures alone are fantastic. Even though this is a “kids” movie, it was one we all enjoyed, and my grandma wants to see it. We are bringing it over next week 🙂

The aliens are not “scary” looking, so they won’t scare your kids. They also make silly gestures and sound funny when they spoke, which my son loved. He thought they were just hilarious.

Seth Green is the “body” behind the main character of the movie, but not the voice. However, you can totally tell it is him, and I LOVE the extras from the movie- they are really fun and funny. As fans of Seth Green, my husband and I were cracking up.

Film Synopsis:
Take out the trash, eat your broccoli — who needs moms anyway? Nine-year-old Milo (Seth Green) finds out how much he needs his mom (Joan Cusack) when she’s nabbed by Martians who plan to steal her mom-ness for their own young. In a race against time and oxygen, his quest to save her knows no bounds. And with some unexpected help, Milo just might find his way back to her — in more ways than one.

The 4-Disc Blu-ray Combo Pack Includes Cool Bonus Features Such As An All-New Special 3D Exclusive Featurette, An Extra-Terrestrial Language Tutorial, Cast & Crew Behind the Scenes, Deleted Scenes and More!

The Disney Blu-ray Combo Packs provide families with an enhanced entertainment experience – offering the flexibility to enjoy the film at home, in the car and on portable devices, in several platforms of [Read more…]
