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.

First Grade, Bible, Set Seven

  • We are continuing to memorize 1 Corinthians 13.
  • In 24 Ways we are on #2, Reading the Bible and Praying everyday with an open heart. We have discussed what an "open heart" means, and I am able to pull examples from our memory verses, so that makes it more meaningful.
  • We finished reading Genesis.
  • We completed the Friendship book and are working on making a board game from what we learned.
  • In lesson seven of Life Lessons from P & K,  we were learning about godly wisdom. The book suggested making a paper crown, but K. has so many crowns that I knew it wouldn't be special. I looked online for crown crafts and came up with this one. The beads are supposed to be on safety pins, and then hung from a larger safety pin to make a pin to wear, but I decided to just use things I had on hand, so we came up with this craft.

 
We put the beads on floral wire, and wrapped
the extra wire around a popsicle stick.
I used another piece of wire to make a hanger.

 
I had wooden alphabet letters (just about every letter
except W, so we turned an extra M upside down)
and K. painted them and we glued them on a tongue
depressor, and then glued the stick with
"WISDOM" onto  the popsicle stick.
  • We finished reading Joel this week and played some games to review 1 Corinthians 13.
