Homeschool Minute - Homemade Flash Cards
? You can grab a deck of cards that you have laying around and use them to teach addition, subtraction, and even multiplication and division of small numbers.
Remove all of the face cards from the deck. To
"play" the math game, shuffle the cards and deal 2 cards facing up and ask your child to figure the problem out, by adding, subtracting, or however you decide.
The good thing about this game, is that you can keep a deck of cards with you or in your car to play it anytime and anywhere.

Prevent Electrical Fires
Winter time, it is cold and a lot of us pull out electric heaters. Our house has one bedroom that will not get warm at all. So, my son has to use a electric heater in there. I worry about it all of the time. We make sure it is unplugged when he isn't in there. Here are some other tips to help you stay safe.
Never overload a electrical receptacle with extension cords or adaptors to make it a three-way. If you need to plug in more items to a certain receptacle, use a power surge strip.
Never run the cords under carpets or rugs.
Never use an extension cord for a major appliance or any heat producing appliance.
Don't use a bulb that has more wattage than a lamp is rated to use. It can overheat.
Call an electrician if your lights flicker, if appliances run sluggishly, or you have a fuse that repeatedly blows or a breaker that trips often. Could be a sign of the system being overloaded.
