Homeschool, Homeschool Girl Power!, Science, Unit Studies

I thought I would share with you guys some of the unit studies we did last Spring!

One of the topics the girls wanted to study was about the body and how it worked. While trying to research how to do that, I found a fabulous deal on a 3-pack on Educents from Human Body Detectives. My version were workbooks and a CD of the short story. These were perfect to use as the backbone for our unit study, and then I looked for other information online to “add” to it.

My girls really enjoyed the series! I felt it had a bit of a “Life of Fred” feel to it, if you know that math program (learning through listening to a story). We found the worksheets to be fun and reinforce what they were trying to learn.

Here were some of the experiments we tried:

Trying to take our pulse. We aren’t very good at it.

Our “Human Blood” model. The white marshmallows are the white blood cells, etc.

More resources if you’d like to try this unit yourself!

Who Needs to Breathe?

Breathe, Devotional Time

image

And so, another homeschool year has begun.

We’ll talk about my insane summer another day, but suffice it to say, it wasn’t the relaxing period of rest I’d been hoping for. Constantly being slammed from one thing to the next, I would close my eyes and think, “I wish breathing was even on the horizon.”

I can’t be the only gal out here like this!

After a year of being tempest-tossed and feeling like I have no anchor, I know that I have to make my own.

This year, I am working with the girls to learn how to do their own devotional quiet time as part of our schooling, since they are at an age where they can start handling it now. This might leave me a few minutes where I can do a bit of devotional time of my own! (Or at least that is the idea.)

I am going to do this Bible study on my own because my schedule is such I can’t even make a Bible study in person right now. But I NEED IT. Forget that deer panting for water, I am desperately  just trying to keep my head up for air!

Do any of you relate?

(Puh-lease say you do!)

Would you like to join me in a “virtual” Bible Study?

This is what you need to do:

1. Order the book on Amazon or Lifeway.

2. Order the videos on Lifeway.

I will try to set up a “web conference” time where we can virtually get together and just talk about our thoughts/experiences and what we’re learning, spreading each “week” over two weeks, for discussion time! You’ll be responsible for the reading and study, and watching the video in the two weeks prior to the videochat. I’ll facilitate and keep us on topic, more or less. We’ll all discuss what God is putting on our hearts as we read. What do you think?

It’s everything you get in a Bible Study, BUT you don’t have to drive in bad weather, can wear your jammies, and scarf down all the chocolate you have in your house all at the same time!

Post in the comments if you’re in, and let me know! I’d really love the company!

The Proverbs 31 Woman (nasb)

Description of a Worthy Woman

An excellent wife, who can find?
For her worth is far above jewels.
The heart of her husband trusts in her,
And he will have no lack of gain.
She does him good and not evil
All the days of her life.
She looks for wool and flax
And works with her hands in delight.
She is like merchant ships;
She brings her food from afar.
She rises also while it is still night
And gives food to her household
And portions to her maidens.
She considers a field and buys it;
From her earnings she plants a vineyard.
She girds herself with strength
And makes her arms strong.
She senses that her gain is good;
Her lamp does not go out at night.
She stretches out her hands to the distaff,
And her hands grasp the spindle.
She extends her hand to the poor,
And she stretches out her hands to the needy.
She is not afraid of the snow for her household,
For all her household are clothed with scarlet.
She makes coverings for herself;
Her clothing is fine linen and purple.
Her husband is known in the gates,
When he sits among the elders of the land.
She makes linen garments and sells them,
And supplies belts to the tradesmen.
Strength and dignity are her clothing,
And she smiles at the future.
She opens her mouth in wisdom,
And the teaching of kindness is on her tongue.
She looks well to the ways of her household,
And does not eat the bread of idleness.
Her children rise up and bless her;
Her husband also, and he praises her, saying:
"Many daughters have done nobly,
But you excel them all."
Charm is deceitful and beauty is vain,
But a woman who fears the LORD, she shall be praised.
Give her the product of her hands,
And let her works praise her in the gates.
