Errands The Easy Way I had a whole day of errands to do. You know the kind of day. I was going to be in the car all day, and the kids were going to be trapped in the car with me. A few quick print outs from eFantasmic and they had fun the whole day, and even when we went into the insurance company office and they had to sit there for nearly two hours, they had their books and sheets and were happy. Now they want to know when we are going to have car day again. Janey S. - Florida |

Reading Day We built reading day around eFantasmic curriculum. Now every Tuesday we get to lounge around in our pajamas, me on the sofa, them sprawled out all around me. We read, munch, talk about books and have the best together times ever. It's so relaxing just to be able to talk to my kids and discuss things. I am so thankful for your discussion sheets. I get to check them off as we talk about stuff, then they go right into my portfolio. My state doesn't require one, I just think of it as my scrapbook. The best part is when daddy comes home. They all jump up, and run over to show him all the stuff they did. I just wanted to thank all of you at eFantasmic and keep it coming! Emma R. - Texas |

I can’t believe how much stuff I get. I don’t know how you guys do it, but please keep doing it. My kids absolutely love your curriculum. They always ask me if there is any new stuff they can browse through. Thanks and keep going! Sally L. - Indiana |

The Trip To Grandma's We had to go on a trip to grandma’s. I couldn’t imaging lugging all our school books with us. eFantasmic was the perfect thing. I printed out a bunch of stuff, and off we went. Normally they just watch TV at grandmas the whole time. They had fun, I was happy they kept doing school, and it was a great trip. Jen W. - California |

The Living Book Story Dear eFantasmic, I had my first living book experience yesterday. I never really understood the power of a living book until I walked in on my daughter. She was sitting in her room crying. When I asked her what was wrong, she explained to me that in one of the books she was reading, there was a character of a little girl traveling west in one of the Oregon Trail wagon trains. One night this little girl was asked to make soup for everyone. So she and a smaller child went and gathered vegetables for the soup. It turned out that one of the vegatables that she put in the soup was a deadly poison and two little boys died from eating the soup. It effected my daughter so deeply, that she never forgot that story. Later when we were doing the eFantasmic curriculum, one of the questions was about that incident. It was then that my daughter told me, next time we go to one of the homeschool park days, she was to watch out for the littler kids, they are always putting things in their mouth. So my daughter got to have a life lesson, without all the pain. That's the power of a living book. So please give us more living book curriculum! Sandy L. - Georgia |

Pre-Dinner With eFantasmic I found one of the best uses for eFantasmic that I had to tell you ladies about. I call it the Pre-Dinner Video. What I do is look through your site to find the new videos you just added. I found several at my local library. One they didn't have but they were happy to order for me. Then when it's time to cook dinner my kids usually just watch TV. So instead I told them they could watch any of the videos I picked from the library. They usually don't watch the whole video at one time. So I let them watch half an hour or so until I am done with dinner. Then by the end of the week they have watched the whole video and I can sit down with them and use the curriculum you so kindly provided me with. I love it. They get to watch TV and I feel better they are doing something educational, and the best part of the whole thing is that at the end of the week I have sheets for my portfolio! So make some more video curriculum! Thanks for everything and keep it up. Mary Ann L. - Florida |
