Lighting the Fire: Memorization of Books of the Old Testament

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.

Memorization of Books of the Old Testament

Love the little lisp.......

This -barely- 6 yr old has managed to be the first one to memorize the books of the Old Testament. He definitely has a knack for songs,rhythms and music in general so it helped that we used a song we found on Itunes. Only problem is, I wake up with it in my head and can't get it out! UGH.

We also checked on our mummified apples after letting them sit for 8 days while we played in IL. The apples were shriveled, brown, and weighed 70% less than the apple that wasn't mummified but rather allowed to sit comfortably in a yogurt cup. Turns out the Egyptian mummies took about 70 days to completely dry out before they could be buried.
