Lighting the Fire: Saturdays from now until Thanksgiving

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.

First, a game for the U8 boys team, the Red Dragons, where Kibru is still miffed that he can't play goalie.

He makes up for it by playing tough defense ( near) the goal.

Everett is a scoring machine.

We spread out the quilt, provide drinks and cheer our hearts out.

( the girls read and draw and occasionally look up for a goal)

The highlight of Kibru's first game was the appearance of his Kindergarten teacher. She's a soccer fan and came to cheer him on.

Later in the day, Harper (U10) suits up and gets to play with her team, the IceBreakers.

She is loving every minute of it.
