Because of Azulio’s generous sponsorship, we have another giveaway for you today.

Please read our previous post about Azulio’s fanastically low prices and browse their site.   You’re sure to find the right product to fit your budget.

The prize is Bill Nye The Science Guy DVD “Stuff Happens”

Let s face it, we all have stuff. Whether it s necessary or needless, our random accumulations have environmental and personal consequences. America s favorite Science Guy, Bill Nye, takes a closer look at the ramifications of the products peppering our everyday lives, from the foods we eat to the clothes we wear and even our choice in toothpaste. Nye goes into our bathrooms, attics, basements, garages and backyards to snoop in our stuff and show us the far-reaching effects our actions have on the rest of the planet. With easy-to-follow science, lighthearted demonstrations and expert interviews, Nye helps viewers get a grip on big topics and presents simple solutions to make our everyday lives greener. Find out how your bed harms polar bears and if your backyard grill is affecting gorillas. Yes, all of our stuff is examined – and every piece lives a secret double life.

If science wasn’t fun enough, Bill Nye takes it to a whole new level!

This contest is for a DVD of The History Channel’s Empires of Industry – Andrew Carnegie

Description: Andrew Carnegie and the Age of Steel chronicles the rise of the iron and steel industries in the United States and the personal ascent of immigrant Andrew Carnegie, whose steel company would one day make him the richest man in America. The American iron, and later steel, industries were the backbone of the Industrial Revolution in the United States, supplying the material that would enable the growth of railroads, skyscrapers, war machines and a host of other industries. It is the story of the rise of big industry in the United States, in all its glory, and all its shame. While the steel industry would make men such as Andrew Carnegie wealthy beyond imagination, it would also cripple, maim, and kill those who toiled to keep the furnaces blasting and the steel rolling.

Don’t you just LOVE History Channel productions?  They are so much better than the old films I watched in school!

Contest Details:

And the Winner Is …..

Jaime Brown!!!!  She shared this tip for homeschooling multiple children: “I have one in high school and one in the 4th grade, so we get creative around our house. I let the older one help out with some of the lessons, and the younger one loves the attention. I have them both do busy work while the other is having “one on one” time, and so far this has worked great.”

Congratulations Jaime!  Drop us a line at Blog@LessonPathways.com to claim your prize!

Yes, that’s right – we’ve had so much fun with our birthday, we’ve decided to extend the celebration!

We are so happy that Azulio has sponsored this giveaway.

If you haven’t heard of Azulio, we’re happy to introduce you!

Azulio.com is an online retailer offering a wide variety of high-quality merchandise at discount prices. We specialize in media and fitness products, however we are constantly adding new types of inventory.  Our mission is to provide online shoppers with the best value on a wide variety of products along with unparalleled customer service.

When they say “discount” – they mean it! Their prices are really unbelievable and they offer free shipping on orders over $50.  (Go check them out – you could wipe out your entire extended Christmas list on a $50 budget there!)

Today’s prize is a DVD of the History Channel’s In Search of History – the Lost City of the Incas

Description: The spectacular Incan city of Machu Picchu, high in the Andes Mountains, was long thought to be legendary. Then in 1911, the intrepid explorer Hiram Bingham stumbled upon its remains. But while the walls and chambers have been extensively studied in the years since, the purpose of this ancient site remains unclear. Go to the top of the world to unravel the mysteries of this enigmatic place. See incredible footage of the earliest expeditions to Machu Picchu, and meet the men and women who have dedicated their lives to unearthing its secrets. Wander through the incredible ruins and feel the eerie presence of the past and the timeless secrets that are locked somewhere within. Was it a pleasure palace, an observatory, a fortress or something else entirely? The answers await just below the clouds in LOST CITY OF THE INCAS.

This prize has a suggested retail value of $24.95 and sells on Amazon for $16.99.  Azulio’s price is an amazingly low $4.99!!!!!  (I told you they meant “discount”!)

LessonPathways is so flexible, it can really be used for a variety of ages, not just K-5.  I could definitely see this DVD as great compliment for older students to many of our Pathways including The Incas, North & South America 600 – 1450 AD, Native People of the South and The Spanish Conquerors.

Homeschooling multiple children can be very time consuming!  I’ve used a unit-study approach for many years because not only have I found it a good fit for my family, but it’s much more efficient to teach the same subject to both of my children at the same time.

How about you?  We’d love to hear your tips for homeschooling multiple grade levels.

Contest Details:

There are two methods of entry for this contest:

• Tell us your best tip for homeschooling multiple grade levels in the comments section below.
