Everything he eats is acid base. So for those who have a loved one that thinks vegetables are for horse, goats, & cows here is a vege smoothie you might want to try.

Our Daily schedule using the Wisdom Booklets

On the Wisdom Searches an ATI mom asked what does our daily schedule look like? So here is a post of what my day typical day looks like using the WB.

Wisdom Booklet: subject ~Bible
 Every morning we start with the Wisdom Booklets because we want to start our day with God's word. We sit together as a family and review cover of the WB reading the verse, character trait, & major concept. We then sing the WB hymn together and sometimes other hymns . We then read scripture the WB recommends for wisdom searchers. Wisdom searches is exactly as it sounds we are reading the Bible looking for wisdom from God in His word . The wisdom searchers relate to the verse, concept, or character in some way.

Wisdom Booklet: reading resource
Each student has a WB. Ideally I will read the little peoples text out loud then dismiss those who can't read. This benefits the older students as it is a condensed version and outline of what we will be studying in the resource. The students who can read that remain each take a paragraph to read out loud as we go in a circle reading through the selected resource. I have really found the beneficial in having them practice reading out loud and strengthening their reading skills. I can also help them break up the word if struggling reading. Reading together also benefits we can discuss and relate it to the WB themes. It can take anywhere from 1-3 days to read through a resource sometimes more depending on how much information we are covering. 

Wisdom Booklet time is my favorite part of the day. I am always spiritually feed and love the discussions that come out of this time as a family together.

We then do the 3 Rs: Reading , writing, and arithmetic. which include:.

• Math
• Language arts : spelling ,writing, grammar, literature
• reading

Lunch time!

Wisdom booklet projects are done in the afternoon. At this time we do a study and work on a notebook, writing assignment, or lapbook. We also can do hands on projects, crafts, art,chores,movie, read aloud etc. Whatever I have planned for the WB projects. 

 I would love to hear comments on how you use the Wisdom Booklets.It may just help another mom using the Wisdom Booklets :O)

Queen Anne’s Lace Fireworks! | 5 Orange Potatoes

I love Queen Anne's lace. I always thought it would make a beautiful arrangement for a summer country wedding. I found this blog post on how to color Queen Anne's Lace. It is so hot I am reading more blogs than I am posting. I feel like I am sleeping the summer away between the heat and at the end stretch with the baby :/ Waiting for the temp. to drop to begin school. I can't wait but being pregnant in this heat is just putting school on hold for now.

Here is the link to the blog-coloring Queen Anne's Lace..there is even a science lesson with it :O)
