Some Fun Things I've Found

It's not all seriousness around here! We actually have more fun than work, to be honest.  Here are a few of the fun things I've found to supplement our schoolwork.

Christianbook.com has some amazing books and curriculum...almost too many for one person to fully explore.  Among other things, I found these great literature workbooks, "Bringing the Classics to Life", that shorten classics into manageable readers with comprehension questions.  Brody just read The Jungle Book to go along with our study of Medieval India.

Rod and Staff has excellent reading and phonics workbooks and easy readers that use conservative, biblical values.  That is hard to find these days in education!  I rely on these to keep my kindergartener busy while I work with my second grader. (Hand-drawn airplane not included!)

Did you know that you can request books that your local library doesn't carry?  We requested a book called How the Bible Came to Us, and it was sent from a library all the way in Nebraska!  When Scott asked the kids to explain how the Bible came to us, my second grader answered, "From Nebraska!" :)

This pic is a little blurry, but football season has created an inspirational moment in our school day.  Using puzzle pieces from a map of the U.S., my son has drawn the entire country sectioned off into college football divisions.  Not really relevent to our medieval studies, but extra points on our U.S. geography!
