Christopher Columbus Lapbook and Notebook Study

Posted in Homeschooling

My blogging friend Rodna over at Training Children up for Christ asks me if I had a lapbook study on Christopher Columbus.  It was said a bit tongue in cheek as she didn’t really expect the answer to be yes.  (We were talking about the Little House lapbook series that I had done.)  Well, it just so happened that I had made one up a couple of years ago (or so), but I had never got around to preparing it for posting on my blog like I had done with the Little House lapbooks and other lapbooks.  (There are several…

Project 365 – #234 Last week, I wrote about how I have the perfect husband for me.  One thing that I’ve learned is that having a great husband doesn’t mean that I get to take things for granted.  In fact, I’d say it’s just the opposite.  Because I know how special our relationship is and how important he is to me, I need to guard that relationship by making sure he knows that I’ve got his back and that he knows that I’m covering him in prayer.  It’s not easy to be a Godly man in a fallen world.  Temptation…

Project 365 – #232 On Friday, D had a rare opportunity to discuss logic and the Bible with someone from work.  Due to some situations that were happening, they had a sit down to talk over various things and somehow the conversation took a turn towards logic, philosophy, and the Bible.  Because of the recent homeschool convention that we attended with Ken Ham and many of our family studies that we’ve been doing, the answers and logic were readily available to him.  Religious conversations in the military workplace have to be handled with caution, so it’s not often that he’s able…
