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.

Salt Crystals

This week in science we were doing a lesson called 'Does It Change In Water?' We added flour, oil, sugar, salt, pasta, butter, ice . . . all sorts of things to water -- some cold, some warm -- to see if and how they changed.


The last part of the lesson was to add enough salt to warm water so that the water was cloudy, then to pour some on a saucer and let it sit in a warm place until the water evaporated. Of course, salt crystals formed, but I've never had such nice crystals form. Some were almost 1/4" square and about 1/16" thick. They were really neat to look at with the magnifying glass.
