Happy Thanksgiving!
Last year my kids learned this silly rhyme
A turkey is a silly bird
whose head goes wobble wobble
It only knows this one word
gobble gobble gobble!
Here's a video of kids shouting it...
Remember also Math Mammoth Thanksgiving sale... all my products are 25% off at Kagi store. See my website for details.
And happy Thanksgiving!

Math Mammoth reviews galore
Click here to read a bunch of recent Math Mammoth reviews, by TOS review crew.
A few highlights:
TOS Review: Math Mammoth from Miscellaneous Musings
"My daughter took a break from her other math curriculum and began focusing just on fractions with the Math Mammoth blue series which includes explanations. About three weeks later she was able to test out of an entire text on fractions"
Review: Math Mammoth from Footprints in the Butter
"And I started this school year completely stressed about what to do with math.So finding out I'd be reviewing Math Mammoth again this year was a gift from God."
Math Mammoth -- A TOS Crew Review from Mountaineer Country
"Do you know what my daughter said to me? She said, rather matter-of-factly, “Why haven’t we been doing this all along? I love this math.”
TOS Review Math Mammoth from Circling Through This Life
"She really enjoys it. She calls it her “Elephant Math” and insists that Manny, her woolly mammoth do math with her. "
This review has a cute picture of a stuffed mammoth next to the girl's math work!
Math Mammoth~ TOS Review from Adventures in Unsell Land!
"We have used quite a few various math programs through the years between our 6 children and I have never seen one that is as strong on the mental math as Math Mammoth is. It's my favorite aspect of this program."
Math, it’s a Mammoth responsibility from A Teaching Heart
"It is suggested that you introduce multiplication before division, but other than that, you can proceed through the lessons as you wish. I find that mixing up the learning of multiplication with other math concepts gives Hunter’s brain a chance to process and retain facts. So we will be jumping around the books all year."

Class Dismissed - a film about homeschooling
It does sound interesting, though I cannot be sure what all it will include.
The website says:
QUOTE
Class Dismissed will be the first full-length documentary devoted to exploring homeschooling as a viable alternative to traditional schooling.
As homeschoolers ourselves, we are constantly reminded by the degree to which the public misperceptions of homeschooling are far removed from reality. With this documentary we hope to both educate the general public as well as inspire the existing homeschool community.
Class Dismissed will focus on the topic of education, specifically the validity of homeschooling as an alternative to the industrial school model. Framed within the historical context of traditional schooling, and particularly at a time when education across the nation is in a state of crisis, the film will examine the numerous approaches to home learning, exploring both its history and recent growth. UNQUOTE
Take a look: Class Dismissed.
Also... the filmmakers are having a fund raiser right now — the campaign ends in 22 days.
