Heirloom Audio Productions

Reasons we love and recommend Heirloom Audio dramas - a review from Homeschool Creations

Heirloom Audio has fast become one of our favorite audio adventures to pop in at home or in the car. Combining historical learning with fast-paced adventure makes for an amazingly wonderful learning tool for the entire family. We have listened (and relistened) to all five of their dramas and highly recommend them. 

Recently I shared about the 5 Reasons We Recommend Heirloom Audio, but wanted to remind you all of a special they have for my readers. Each audio drama is usually $29.97, but you can order a four audio adventure set (two of each drama) – one set for your family and one set to give away at a HUGE savings. In the past we’ve ordered together with a friend, making the deal only $10 for each CD set. You will also receive several bonus items, including teaching guides and soundtracks for each adventure.

Homeschool Science Curriculum Sale – Save 15%

cke-sale

One of the programs that we’ve been using this year with our fifth grader, Zachary, is Christian Kids Explore Chemistry from Bright Ideas Press (aff link). He has been loving the hands-on projects that tie in with the program and learning so much about chemistry as we work through our text.

We work through one chapter a week: reading, review, and a hands-on project and it is just the right balance of independent work and learning. Our atomic cookie skillet model and atom models were both a part of our hands-on learning.

Save 15% on Christian Kids Explore series

Right now you can save 15% on the Christian Kids Explore books (aff link) – from Biology, Physics, Earth & Space, and Chemistry and beyond. No code needed as the prices all currently reflect the sale prices.

Both Biology and Earth & Space were written for students in grades 3-6, but the simplicity of the activities and clearness of teaching makes them easily adaptable for younger students as well. Every activity was designed using inexpensive and easily accessible resources. The book is laid out so the reading, worksheets, coloring pages, vocabulary, activity instructions and more all come in one book. This makes for a format that also works very well with co-ops.

The Chemistry, Physics, and Creation Science books were written for grades 4-8. These books can be adapted to fit third grade students, but because they are advanced enough to set a foundation for high school studies, you may wish to start with the Biology or Earth & Space editions with any student younger than fourth grade.
