Thinking Company, either software or eBooks

Are you looking for summer enrichment activities?
Look no further. The Critical Thinking Company has great products.
I have bought math books from them before—and the level of moaning and groaning
from my kids was extreme, a sure sign that these were good books!
Seriously though, these books are more than just “activity review” books.
Check out what they have at www.criticalthinking.com.
We will also have several catalogs at the silent auction for you to browse or
take. This is a Folwell mom approved product. You won’t be sorry!

7-inch tablet PC with Android Operating System
Donated
by LearningRX
Value
of $110
Our very own LearningRX of Rochester has
generously donated this tablet. In addition, they will have a have a
table at our carnival, so you will have a chance to learn more about them.
I did visit with them because I was not familiar with their services,
and came away very impressed with what they have to offer. This is what they
say, "LearningRx of Rochester has worked with nearly 400 clients ages 5-95
since opening in 2010. LearningRx brain training takes advantage of
neuroplasticity by engaging a clients in specially designed exercises to
promote rapid strengthening and growth of neuronal connections. Cognitive
abilities--such as memory, attention, sensory processing, and reasoning—can be
increased with proper training. This, in turn, increases immediate and future
brain function, which produces more accurate recall, quicker processing, and
easier learning and engagement with the world."
