Christmas Books and Activities

By

 I can't even believe I am already writing this post!

Last year we participated in a Christmas Book and Activity a Day project with my friend Shannon at Peace, Love and Rainbows. It was so fun and really got us in the Christmas spirit.

I decided that this year we will do the same. We will do three books per week, with an activity attached to each.

Here are the first six books we will do. I have a general idea about activities, but will post the specifics of them later when I get them finalized.



Snowbear's Christmas Countdown byTheresa Smythe (make a countdown chain)












Snowmen at Christmas by Caralyn Buehner (make shaving cream snowmen)











The Legend of the Poinsettia by Tomie de Paola (a poinsettia craft)












The Last Snow of Winter by Tony Johnston (make snow-doh)








A Wish to be a Christmas Tree by Colleen Monroe (christmas tree craft)










Santa's Snow Cat by Sue Stainton (a cat in a stocking?)











We will start the Monday after Thanksgiving. Join us if you'd like!

CTC Math {Schoolhouse Review}

By
We found our groove with math this year. I found a curriculum that both of the kids respond well to and seem to enjoy (as much as one can enjoy math). We have spent the whole year learning the ins and outs of multiplication and were just a few lessons away from being ready to move onto the next year-long level on division. And then an opportunity to review the 12 Month Family Plan from  CTC Math became available. To be honest, I wasn't very enthusiastic. I mean, why mess with the methods that have worked so well? When I was chosen to review the product I didn't go into it with the level of enthusiasm that it deserved. We have been using a dvd/workbook curriculum with great success. The 12 Month Family Plan from CTC Math is a web based curriculum. As we have not had a lot of luck with those types of programs, I went into this review with a negative attitude. And then my socks were knocked off by how great it is. In fact it is so great that we are going to continue to ...

Veritas Press Self-Paced History: Old Testament and Ancient Egypt (Schoolhouse Review)

By

As we were entering into our more easy-going summer schedule, and had just concluded a two-year Old Testament Bible course, I was happy to try out this product as it appeared to be something that Eli and Brynne could do together, alone, and would act as a review of the Old Testament presented in a different way. And I was right. Each Veritas Press Self-Paced History program includes 160 lessons teaching about 32 events in history. They are designed for children in grades 2-6, and it is recommended that the student be a minimum of 7 years of age at the time of the first lesson. What We Received We received a full one-year subscription, for one child, to the online Veritas Press Self-Paced History: Old Testament and Ancient Egypt program and the accompanying Old Testament and Ancien...
