That's a lot of education for some little minds. I'm jealous - they are getting such a good education. Grandma

Wow, that is a great list. Where do you find your DVD's? Such as the Countries Around the World. Do you purchase or library?

Heidi said...

Thanks, Gram. :) Love ya!

really.truly~ Most of the DVDs come from the library. I am SO GLAD they have Countries Around the World and Bill Nye DVDs!

You are very blessed that they have those dvds! The Bill Nye dvds aren't for sale anywhere, though I looked for them before.

We have a pretty new library and they don't have much yet. I've been requesting books from other libraries in the district, though, and recently my library added some of those to their shelves!

The Bill Nye DVDs are available on Amazon for $25 each.

I'm glad my library has them, because I couldn't afford a whole collection!!

Heidi,

I looked for these years ago on Amazon; I didn't know they rereleased them! They weren't available before.

I took your list and decided to see if our library had the Jim Corrigan books. It looks like they just orderd them for purchase, so when they come in, we'll get them.

And, to my surprise, they have the Bill Bye dvds now! I am requsting several of them!

I LOVE your lists. My children are the same ages and I love all of the things you are covering. Thanks Heidi!
