Dig-It! Games Roman Town Review

Hi neighbors!

Here is a review of Roman Town from Dig-It! Games! It is an IOS app that my daughter has been playing on my iPad for the last month. We are reviewing this app for the TOS Crew. Dig-It Games has other educational apps available too, so be sure to check out their website. There are a couple others I am sure my daughter would really enjoy. These apps can be used for homeschool, or just as a fun time of learning and play for your child.

My daughter has had a lot of fun playing Roman Town, well, all but the Roman Numerals puzzles. She does not enjoy Roman Numerals, so she was quite vocal about having to work with them. When I asked for her opinion of the game, that was her big complaint. On the other hand, when it comes to learning about history, that is an entirely different story. Sometimes I am not even sure where the desire comes from, but she LOVES history. She often quotes an off the wall fact she has learned and we all just stare at her. Yes, I do go verify it at times, and thus far she has not been wrong. Roman Town was right up her alley as far as that goes. She also enjoys games that require exploring and puzzle solving, just as long as they do not include Roman Numerals.

Roman Town is available through your AppStore. In this game your child will be searching for a master thief, Ladrone. To complete their search your child is required to solve all kinds of puzzles. Some of the included mini games or puzzles are:
Artifact Identifier (My daughter's favorite.)
Calculi (This game is shown below.)
Concentration
Knucklebones
Roman Numerals (The not so fun game for my daughter.)
Pipes

Your child will be able to explore Pompeii, play some ancient Roman games, all the while tracking Ladrone and learning about ancient Rome. The app is free, but there are in game purchases necessary to access certain areas of the game. Please be aware that this are there.

Roman Town is one of those games I like as a parent, game based learning. My children enjoy playing, and yet while doing so they are also learning history, math, and logic. Rather than just idle play they are actively learning when playing Roman Town. Roman Town meets National Education Standards, along with History, Math, Social Studies, Literacy and Common Core requirements. Roman Town is designed for middle school students, although other ages may enjoy the game too. The game will help promote critical thinking, problem solving and independent learning.

What To Do About Those Fuzzy Uninvited Guests In The Home

When we talk about pests in the home, the most common that we tend to deal with are the creepy-crawlies that find their way in. Ants, termites, and spiders, for instance. Occasionally though, you have a real chance of getting a much bigger, fuzzier unwanted guest in the home. What do you do about the fact your home is at risk of becoming a wildlife sanctuary for some truly unhealthy and even dangerous beasts? Picture by Alexas_Fotos Know the signs It doesn’t matter if you’re in a suburban home, a country cottage, or a fourth-floor apartment. Some animals can find their way just about anywhere. It’s worth knowing the signs of pest infestation so you can confirm it and act on it immediately. Spotting droppings, keeping an ear out for scratching, and looking for signs of nesting like shredded paper, scrunched leaves, and grass clippings around the home without explanation can help you start fighting back.

Hey neighbors, its with a heavy heart I let you all know that my mom (Lori) unexpectedly passed away the end of June.

Thank you all so much for your love and support over the years. ~Mercy

Baby First TV 'I Can Sign" First Words

Hey Neighbors! Here is a really neat gift idea for someone with a young child. Here we have I Can Sign (First Words) from Baby First TV. Now, I am just going to share right here that we have friends who have taught two of their children to sign at a very young age. And it works! Their children could sign before they could talk. The Dvd will teach your child many useful words that will be used in day to day life. Words like: eat, water, milk, cookie, ear, feet hands, kiss, sleep, book, mother, father, and many other words. Each word is taught in a short video clip where they will see pictures of the word/item and people signing. There is also a little character at the bottom corner of the video signing along. The Dvd can be done on English or Spanish. Also included on the Dvd are printable coloring pages that you can print off by inserting the Dvd into your computer. Inside the cover of the Dvd case is a little booklet that covers some of the words you and your child
