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.

WB 28 Major Concept & Commands of Christ #9

We did Command 9 Go the second Mile and turn the other cheek. After we completed the Command of Christ we did the personal application.
1. During this session, God reminded me that I can go the second mile in the area of:

• personal insults
• legal attacks
• civil regulations
• needs of neighbors

2.I understand now that I should not resist hurtful action by others, but these as opportunities to display the power of Christ to them.

These are a few examples of the challenges to go the extra mile which goes perfect with our verse how do we respond when turning the cheek. You not only turn your cheek but go the extra mile. When you sit and think about the time period this was addressed during Roman rule when the Jews were oppressed and forced to carry the Roman soldiers supplies.Of course we looked at what Christ did going the extra mile for us. As always our hearts were directed to Christ and we were challenged in so many ways.

WB 28

Today we spent most of the day on the Wisdom Booklet LA.

WB 28 Meditation Worksheet

We completed the Meditation worksheet for WB 28. Mathew 5:38-42. This is great exercise for verse studies using the concordance to look up the Greek meaning & cross references etc.

WB 27 Mastery Quiz & Life Classroom

Today we finished WB 27. I had planned to have completed more WBs by now but doing two co-ops really slowed me down so now we are on the pace I normally like to go since I have cut back to one. We have mainly been focusing on the WB with not so many extra fun projects this past WB . We have focused on Math heavily this past month since I found some of my students struggling and they needed extra mom time for Math! So today they did the Mastery Quiz & Life Classroom. The Mastery Quiz is always a good review and I always let them do it as an open book test. Tomorrow we begin WB 28 so I pulled out my new WB and put away WB 27.

This past weekend Daddy took the kids sled riding while I went horseback riding. I was able to catch pictures on their way home through the woods. Here is Daddy pulling Nehemiah & Job the two youngest home on the sled. The rest if the crew was ahead on the trail making it home for some hot coco :O0
