When we decided to Homeschool, our main reason was to give them a biblical background and foundation. Taking the Church year as a way to show events that are in the Bible is a great way. We do the Christian events as well as most Jewish ones, as that is the background and foundation for Christianity.
Today is Epiphany. The day of the Wise men. Today we have some fun stuff planned for the kiddies. We are going to make a prayer star, to help the children remember what to pray for. We are going to make Epiphany cookies and then have a treasure hunt using the 12 days of Christmas. 12 items that they have to find using a Bible verse clue. Ending with the cookies wrapped in foil to look like rocks. Then after dinner we are going to act out the Bible story of the wise men as a family.
Very fun stuff planned for today :o) Have a great day with your children as well.

Back to School
Yesterday was the first day of school for 2010 :o)I didn't teach the kids thought. Brook did as I subbed at the high school for a teacher who had fallen over the weekend. Things seemed to have gone pretty smooth considering. But with Tylor, Brook had to keep reminding him that it is a Monday, a school day and NOT the weekend or a holiday to play games. It will take some time to get back into our routine, but it was a much needed break.
I have a question for any of you veteran homeschool momma: what work do you keep? do you store it all? do you make a best of the best folder and toss the rest?
