CHRISTEPHI

We spent two weeks introducing our year ( Part 1 , Part 2 ) and shared Part 1 of our travels in the USA. Here's part two before heading off to visit our neighbors to the north. Bible This year we are reading through the book of Matthew.  To help us along the way, we made bookmarks featuring the name Matthew or Matthaios  in ancient Greek.  This is the language the book of Matthew was originally written in.  The back of our bookmarks have the readings for the year broken down into portions with a space for checking off each one as we go. Miss M never reads her Bible without a dry highlighter in her hand…and she highlights everything she reads.  I think she would eventually like to have her entire Bible highlighted.  Hey, if that's what it takes to get her in the Word, then it's fine by me! Music Somedays when you wake up and it's bitter cold outside, you just need some fresh scones and a tea party to get ya going! For USA we listened

After our first two weeks ( Part 1 , Part 2 ) of introductory material, we were ready to start out on our traveling adventures! We spent the next three weeks "traveling" around the USA, learning about it's geographical significance. Bible One of our texts for this year is Window on the World .  In it we read about a couple different people groups in North America where Bible translation work is on-going.  The kids loved that each section includes a list of items to pray about and to praise the Lord for!  We each take turns lifting these items before the Lord. We also started reading about Christian heroes from Hero Tales, beginning with Dwight L. Moody.  I printed the copywork pages from Mama Jenn.  Miss M enjoys illustrating these pages.  Though at times her zany sense of humor comes through rather strongly! Math Miss M has been trucking along through Singapore Math 2B.  I've been faithfully remembering to have her drill her basic math facts:
