We received the IQ Circuit from Timberdoodle to review for you guys. It’s a fun “Connect the Dots” style, one-player strategy game. We’ve taken it on road trips and camping with us and everyone in the family has enjoyed it. It’s a very portable game! Although it’s geared toward ages eight to adult, my almost six year old son also had a ton of fun with it.
To start the game, simply decide which of the 120 challenges you’d like to do. These range from “easy” to “expert” in difficulty. Then you set up the dots as shown in the challenge. You use the remainder of the pieces to try and finish the puzzle where the dots connect. The pieces are all different shapes and the paths have curves, so it does take a lot of concentration, problem solving, and thinking skills.
We definitely recommend adding this game to your logic/thinking skills manipulatives and see this as something we will play many times over the years. You can find this game for sale on Timberdoodle. It’s is also part of the 9th Grade Curriculum Kit that Timberdoodle has put together.
If you’ve been following my blog for a while, you know that we have been homeschoolers since the very beginning of our children’s school years. A few years back, I started writing down our homeschool plans since I would have friends and readers ask me what we used each year. If you care to look back, you can see what we used in the 2015-2016 year here or in the 2016-2017 school year here. 2017-2018 can be found here. 2018-2019 can be found here, 2019-2020 can be found here, and 2020-2021.
This year, we have kids in 9th, 6th, 5th, and Kindergarten and we are switching it up a bit. Since we graduated our oldest this past year and our youngest is officially school age, we’ve decided to make some changes. My youngest 2 will be going to a local hybrid homeschool/private school a couple times a week. They will be doing all their subjects there and then have homework to work on the other days. My husband or I will be assisting them with their homework on their off days.
The older two are going to be going to a one day a week program that covers English, History, Logic, and a few other subjects. Below, I’ll share a little of what we will be doing at home.
We are continuing with XtraMath.org for my 5th and 6th graders. It’s a completely free way to make sure your kids understand all of their math facts. As a mom, I can login and see how they are doing as well and what needs improvement.
For my oldest student, he will start his high school with Math-U-See for Algebra 1. 6th grader will start another year of Horizons Math. The other 2 will do math with their school and are using Saxon.
As a family, we are going to be working through Who is God? And How Can I Really Know Him? from Apologia.
Everyone will be continuing with American Heritage Girls and Trail Life, and of course youth group activities.
Hope you all have a great school year! I’m looking forward to having a lighter load this year and outsourcing more. Plus, if you missed this on a previous post, I’ll be returning to work after 18 years at home! So excited about that!

Many thanks to Last Spoke Partners for providing this product/product information for review. Opinions are 100% my own and NOT influenced by monetary compensation. I did receive a sample of the product in exchange for this review and post.
I love watching movies for reviewing purposes. The latest one we have seen is When We Last Spoke. When We Last Spoke is an award-winning, heartwarming story of faith, family, and forgiveness, based on a book by Marci Henna. In 1967, two sisters are abandoned and raised by grandparents in the town of Fireside. Humor, heartbreak and triumph are served with whipped cream and lots of local nuts in this heartwarming tale of family, friendship and forgiveness. I really enjoyed it and it kept my attention. The acting was great and the story line flowed well.
You can watch the film, currently free on Amazon Prime, or visit their website to find all the ways to view this powerful movie with the whole family. When We Last Spoke stars Melissa Gilbert (Little House on the Prairie), Cloris Leachman, and Corbin Bernsen. When We Last Spoke recently won Best Picture, Best Narrative, Best Supporting Actor, and more at the Crown Awards at the National Religious Broadcasters 2021 Christian Media Convention!
