last week’s work
Last week was short due to an out of town ministry trip. Some of the things we worked on: place value (see the last post) being internally governed. In our Judah Bible Curriculum we are in Genesis, dealing with man’s rejection of self-government. We did several pages for our notebook on this idea, contrasting what it looks like to be internally and externally governed. She mentioned this idea many times this week, especially when she … read on, my friend…

Preparing for the new year
We begin our new year next week. Since we school year-round, we take June off and then get back into things when the summer is really heating up. (And here it has been almost 100 degrees evey day this week!) I’ve been praying and looking over my plans for the year. First, I think about what I want to cover. Sometimes I follow a suggested plan and sometimes I don’t. In science, history, math, Bible … read on, my friend…
