Daddy Mojo used to teach. Being an ex educator he’s interested in many things about education, such as teaching policies, best practices and bureaucracy.
In our zeal to review The Pout Pout Fish Goes to School we neglected to put up the giveaway. If you didn’t read the review, the book is great. It’s a nice bedtime book that has lots of rhyming, short sentences and a simple, positive lesson for children to learn.

This year I’m a National Geographic Kids Insider. Big hoey you say, but what that means to you is that we’ll be giving away lots of National Geographic Kids stuff! And if you have a child that loves animals then they know about Nat Geo Kids. The National Geographic Kids Almanac 2015 is aimed at children 8-12, but adults will enjoy looking at it just as much.

Wait, you said that you were listening to Spanish with your kids, what’s up? We are indeed listening to the Spanish program that Whistlefritz has, but I also want our children to know bits of French. Once you get past the pronunciation the two languages have lots in common and the best way to learn a language when you’re a child is through exposure, immersion and repetition. Whistlefritz , On Va Jouer (Let’s Play) has many of the songs that are on Allons Danser, the French for kids music CD.

In November 2013 we reviewed Alphablock from these same authors and our headline was almost the same. Countablock follows the same presentation that Alphablock did so well, except this time with numbers from 1 to 100. It’s written by Christopher Franceschelli with the art by Peskimo. Countablock is intended for ages 1-3, but our almost 5 year old loves it and don’t get tired of reading it to them either.

Our oldest child who is four and a half loves animals. It wasn’t too much of a surprise when he immediately grabbed Montessori: Map Work and put it in his bedroom to where I couldn’t find it for a couple weeks. Having found the book again I can now review it just in time for its release.

One time our oldest was watching videos online when I heard incredibly bad language coming from the computer. An ad had led him to a video that they thought was similar to what he was looking for. In reality it was a profane laced cartoon that satirized programming that was meant for children. Even before that happened I used Bing at home search for things. Bing in the Classroom is in the same vein, an ongoing program to help kids use technology-in an ad-free, safe environment.

There is a lot to love about A Bucket of Blessings, written by Kabir & Surishtah Sehgal. The story is simple, relatable to children, teaches them lessons and has big words & pictures for children. A Bucketful of Blessings is based on a little-known Indian myth that demonstrates the power of sharing, hope and blessings.

Prior to being a dad I taught ESL for two years. I’m a big proponent for children learning a second language ASAP. I also know that the best way to learn is total immersion. The problem with children learning a second language is that they start too late and it isn’t total immersion in some educational instances. Whistlefritz is a learning language program for children. Their Spanish program has been out for a while and we got the chance to review some of their newly released French program.
