Theme song & Vietnam

We did the Theme song WS today. Redeemed by Fanny Crosby. I could not find any history on this song.We have studied Franny Crosby a few times so the students are familiar with that hymn writer. I do love the hymns! http://www.cyberhymnal.org/htm/r/e/redeemed.htm


We then continued our study on Vietnam. Here are some great Vietnam books that we used to study the culture. Lots of pictures which is so important in my opinion when studying how a culture lives. We will spend all month studying both the culture and the war.
I also placed some living books on the Vietnam War to get their appetites wet. I caught a few curious minds and the questions are already coming!



My son Joe wants to do a research paper on Vietnam weapons.

Here is a link to a free Vietnam map.

WB 23 Character Quality WS & Vietnam

We did the Character Quality WS. Our character focus is honor. Honor ~* awareness of how God is working through the people and events in my life to produce the character of Christ in me.This is an excellent study for my children as I believe they need to work on this character in so many ways!

For this WB further study focus I have decided to study the Vietnam War. So today we studied the country of Vietnam. I love studying cultures of the world since I am mission minded. Windows of the World and Operation World are great tools to look at the spiritual needs of the different countries. We used Geo scribe to to record country facts.
