Lighting the Fire: Dem Bones

Our life in books

This is our eigth year of homeschooling and I finally got around to blogging about our adventures a few years ago.

I love the path that God has us on.

We get to enjoy the lightbulb moments in educating our children and have quite a few of them ourselves.

We are starting Exploration to 1850's this school year, 2012-2013 using My Father's World curriculum.

In the past, we have enjoyed the 'MFW Adventures' and 'Exploring Countries and Cultures', and 'Creation to the Greeks',

Rome to the Reformation,

Exploration to the 1850's and NOW.........

1850's to MODERN TIMES !!

Below is the week by week of lessons for this year if you'd like to start at the beginning.

There is also a handy LABELS area that you can peek through to find a specific lesson.

Dem Bones

Part of our last few weeks in studying the human body has been spent putting together paper skeletons bone by bone. Of course, all the skeletons make my house look like Halloween all over again but 'it's for the kids, Larry!' Sorry -we've also been re-watching some Veggie Tales for the sake of our 5 year old who has never seen them and now has enough English to understand them. I never get tired of those quirky veggies.

This is Harper posing with her completed skeleton, Happy.
