Why Coloring Is Good For Children

  Most kids probably don’t have to be sold on coloring books. Kids generally love to color. But are parents equally sold on putting good-quality coloring books in front of their kids? With all the other educational and entertainment options available to our kids, why should we want them to color? Coloring is wonderfully slow-paced.

Why You Should Use Narration To Test Children and Some Narration Ideas

  I firmly believe narration is one of the best ways you can test children today. I was surprised that you could make the testing process fun and less stressful if you used narration. And for this reason, I started researching narration ideas to use in my homeschool. Simply said, narration is a better way

An Art Collaborative Project: Round Table Painting

  It’s essential – though challenging – to engage kids in any type of collaborative project. Bringing our kids together to create something is an important recharging break. I’m sure you’ve experienced a frustrated child with a mental overload … if he’s taught one more thing, it will wash over him, meaninglessly – he’s at

Making Audio Books a Part of Your Learning Experience

  Do you have young learners in your home? Are you a busy momma who can’t possibly read for 2-3 hours a day? Do you have a struggling reader who still loves to hear books? Are you looking for a way to make car trips more pleasant and educational? If you answered yes, then I’d

Write The Essay

  We homeschoolers are an odd bunch. We sometimes think that because we can do something means that we should do something. This reminds me of 1 Corinthians 10:23: “All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not.” Quite often, we

Teaching on Historical Figures Like Scripture Does – Part Four

  In closing our case study on the life of Moses, one final analysis remains: what was the impact of his life on history, and how are we to remember him? As you can probably guess, the Bible gives us a pattern for how we can accurately and truthfully judge the merits and follies of

Teaching on Historical Figures Like Scripture Does – Part Three

  The Life of Moses: Race and Pace in Storytelling Not only does scriptural history teach us about the hearts of the men and women God used to make history, it also employs a mechanism known to storytellers as race and pace. Race and pace is the rhythm of a story. For example, in the
