Dictionary games
Vocabulary words (and dictionary skills) can sometimes be the thing to fall through the cracks of a busy homeschool day.

I don’t know about you, but when it’s back to school time I can’t resist stocking up on white glue. It was only 5 cents a bottle, after all. But now I have about 20 bottles of it. So what do I do with all this white gluey goodness? (I mean besides letting the kiddos rub it on their skin and peel it off?)
Hope for the next generation
My oldest daughter (10) entered this year’s essay contest from our state’s Christian homeschool organization. The topic was “The Role of Christians in Government.” When I saw the title I knew she just had to enter. It took a lot of prodding but I finally got a paper out of her. She typed it up, then saw that it had to be hand written, so she copied it and we put both copies in the … read on, my friend…

Unique ways to test your kids
TEST, v.t. To compare with a standard; to try; to prove the truth or genuineness of any thing by experiment or by some fixed principle or standard; as, to test the soundness of a principle; to test the validity of an argument.

25 creative notebooking ideas
Notebooking is one of the best ways to demonstrate your individuality in your lessons. But sticking some worksheets in a binder is not true notebooking. You must generate the material yourself and it is a reflection of you, not simply a regurgitation of someone else’s thoughts. In case you find yourself in a rut, here is a list of creative expression. You can also download the 25 creative notebooking ideas here. paper folding portraits write … read on, my friend…
Where our allegiance lies
This blog is not known to be particularly involved in current events and other potentially controversial things. However I heard a bishop say something last week that convicted me. On the radio show Janet Parshall’s America last week Bishop E.W. Jackson was on talking about his ministry and taking calls from listeners.
