How to Use Homeschool Bible Curriculum for All Learning Styles I have to admit I never really thought much about homeschool Bible curriculum as it relates to my children’s learning styles until I found The Word in Motion! This curriculum is meant for children from kindergarten through about 8th grade. It’s full of all kinds…
This year Chanukkah starts on Christmas Eve. It is an eight day festival and the Maccabeats are singing about it in their song, Candlelight. I promised I would share some of the Chanukkah videos and this one of them. I hope you enjoy it! Originally formed in 2007 as Yeshiva University’s student vocal group, the…
I’ve had the blessing of being part of (and sometimes running) different sized co-ops for over 20 years. If you ask my now grown children, they will tell you that the things they did and learned in our co-ops are some of their best homeschooling memories. I can tell you that the relationships I’ve made…
When it comes to my pre-reading kids and planning homeschool curriculum, I never put geography and church history on my radar as subjects to worry about. At all.

The Fruit of the Spirit is awesome. I love teaching it to my children. For this lesson, I picked the first three on the list found at Galatians 5:22 and 23. We read the passage and talked about the first three: love, joy, and peace. We spoke about examples for each and how we can…
While many families around the United States will be trick or treating on October 31st, our family has chosen to celebrate an event in Church history that is worth remembering. On October 31, 1517, in Wittenberg, Germany, Martin Luther nailed his Ninety-Five Theses on the Power of Efficacy of Indulgences to the door of the Castle…
Here is a fun and easy craft to teach your children about “joy” and what it means. Joy is defined as “a feeling of great pleasure and happiness.” (Google) I started out by talking to my children about joy and what it means. And I read the Scripture below to them: Psalm 103: 1-5 (NLT) 1 Let…
How does the saying go? “Do as I say, not as I do” or the other way around? We all know that children learn by example. They learn by what they see. But we are also verbal beings. We have the gift of communication. And communication can be such a great asset when used the…
