OLD HOMESCHOOLERS NEVER DIE . . . THEY JUST WRITE CURRICULUM


"Let my teaching fall like rain and my words descend like dew,
like showers on new grass,
like abundant rain on tender plants."

Deuteronomy 32:2

Courses of Study

To view the Course of Study for each grade level, you can click on the "Course of Study" label
or "Search This Blog" for the specific grade level you wish to see.
To date, I have courses of study completed for kindergarten through fourth grades.

Newsletter Articles

In 2013 the Lord started me producing a newsletter for the homeschool group we are a part of. Every other month I write an article on a topic the Lord has put on my heart. I've decided to add these articles to this blog. I hope you will find encouragement through some of my ramblings. You can click on the label "Newsletter" to find the articles.

Improvising

Sometimes you may not have exactly what you need to do an experiment (or something else) the way the book says to. We needed a balance scale. The book said to use a yard stick and told how to make a base for it. I didn't have a yard stick, but I did have this piece of wood left over from some project. I didn't have the materials to make the stand, so I walked around our home looking for a place to put a screw. I noticed that there was an existing hole in the end of the banister that was just the right size for the screw I had. Our balance scale worked great and it was the perfect height for K. to use. I put a screw in our utility closet so I can hang the scale out of the way, and when we need to use the scale, or K. wants to play with it, it is easily installed on the banister.
