Does anyone else just loath when their kids come home from school and announce they need to prepare a speech? Even though I graduated from school many moons ago, I can still feel that anxiety start to creep back just at the thought of my boys standing in front of their classroom sharing thoughts, stories and information with their peers. The good news is, I think I am more nervous for them than they are! Last year, my oldest decided he even wanted to try sharing his speech with the brave few who choose to say their speeches in the gym in front of most of the school and parents! He certainly doesn’t get his bravery from me!
This year my oldest choose Sharks as his speech topic, he’s been reading DK books on sharks for years so he was well prepared already and used those books for further research. I wish we had also known about dkfindout.com to speed up the process.
www.dkfindout.com is a new online resource for children ages 7-11 and brings together the very best of DK’s great images and core information. It’s the perfect place to find a lot of info on a topic all in one place. Just look at this screen shot of our search for sharks. 31 results all broken down into categories! This is a brilliant resource for parents, students and teachers – especially homeschoolers.
Another fun way to learn about your favourite topic is with the DK Factivity books.
Blending fun activities with educational content, each book in this series of activity books for kids uses coloured tabs to lead kids to pages with puzzles, games, crafts, and doodle ideas that can be done right on the page. Each Ultimate Factivity book includes over 500 stickers!
Every page is designed to be completed to create a beautiful keepsake volume and the amazing facts on each page will ensure that kids are engaged and inspired.
The Ultimate Factivity Collection series will keep kids busy and learning for hours which is why we have a new one for each boy and they aren’t allowed to work on them until March Break. We will be doing some travelling for spring break which included staying in a cottage for a few nights. This is a wonderful tool in my mommy kit for when we are on the road and when the kids yell “Mom, I’m bored!”
The Ultimate Factivity Collection includes the titles you see above as well as Bugs, Star Wars, Space, Dinosaurs, Spiderman and many more. Go HERE to see them all!
