Today I would like to introduce you to the company called Educational Insights based out of Southern California. Educational Insights is the manufacturer of playful products with serious educational value, including subject-specific classroom products, teacher resources, educational toys, and games. Their products are designed by seasoned educators & parents who know that children love to learn when you make that learning experience fun!
When you visit the Educational Insights online web site you will find that it’s really easy to navigate. The web site has three tabbed categories which are the sections for Parents, Teachers and Classroom Jeopardy. Since I am a mother and grandmother…I could spend hours just browsing around their parent’s section of the web site.
My Review: The great folks over at Educational Insights sent us the Ring The Bell Electronic Goal Tracker to review for all of you and it includes the following: Jumbo 20″ high by 9″ wide electronic goal tracker, teacher’s guide with reproducible student goal chart and award certificate. It requires 3 AAA batteries which are not included and is geared towards all grade levels. This electronic goal tracker will track any goal, from books read to funds raised with fun lights and sounds along the way.
It is done in a really colorful carnival theme complete with carnival rides, tigers, stars, balloons and carnival games depicted on it. If you purchase a dry erase marker you can actually write on the goal tracker levels and what the task is that you want the kids to complete. We got this and I was really excited about it because my sister-in-law is always complaining about the boys not getting their chores done at home so I decided to give the goal tracker to them (after I checked it out) so that she could write their chores on the side of it and every time they completed the chore they could move the bar up a level. Once it reaches the top they can have their reward (allowance). I thought it would be fabulous for encouraging the boys (ages 9 and 11) to get their chores done. For the past week or so Tracy has been using it just for that and so far so good…they completed all of their chores (first time in months) for that first week! yeah!
I think this is a really cool item…you can use it to track books that you want your kids to read during the summer and then wipe it off and track books read during the school year or you can do like we did and use it at home to track your child’s chores that you want them to do. Like I said…first week went well and Tracy is super excited about week #2 as this is the first time in many months that they didn’t have to argue with the kids about completing their chores. We give it a huge 2 thumbs up! A nice high quality product that can be used in numerous ways.
