First Creation of 2014


This is a card I made for a monochromatic challenge. I don't often have time these days to play in my craft room. So I started a Facebook challenge hoping it would motivate me to do what I love. Of course I had a million things on my plate but I pushed on and cranked this card out. I really like the way it turned out. What is your passion and how often do you do it?

Great Start With Math Interactive Notebooks


Don't you just love it when your Monday starts out great. Well today was that kind of day for us. The boys got up on time and we jumped right into our studies. First up bible study which went very well. Then it was time for us to tackle math. Last week I gave the boys a math review test to see what they had learned and retained. Testing them helps me plan my lessons for the rest of the year.



After reviewing everything it was time for me to put the information to use. We are utilizing interactive notebooks they help to take big ideas and processes and break down them into logical, sequential, and much more manageable parts. My oldest started Algebra this semester and having these notebooks really has been a blessing. It takes a lot of time putting them together but the support they have been to my children has been priceless.
Since I have multiple children at lower grade levels, I made a notebook for me to reference as well.

Bible Study

I love the freedom that home education gives us. To be able to study God's word with the boys is such a blessing. I really enjoy watching them dig deep into their bibles. It allows them to see themselves the way that God sees them. This allows them to know God for themselves.
