In our reading this week Paul prayer for us as believers is so powerful! Paul is humbly asking of God spiritual blessings for his brothers and sisters in Christ, the Ephesians. These blessings are something that can be prayed for by everyone of us, both for ourselves, and for others around us. We too can seek to be rooted and grounded in His love, and ask for strength from the Spirit of God in our inner most parts, strength of the soul, strength of faith, strength to serve and persevere through our calling as Christians, husbands/wives, fathers/mothers, sons/daughters, and friends.

Having Christ dwell in our hearts drastically changes our outlook, our priorities, and places our focus on the eternal. Trying to comprehend the immeasurable dimensions of God’s riches in Christ is just too much for me to understand. The closest thing I can come to here on earth for understanding Christ’s love for me is the love I feel for my children.

As a mother, and wife, all this talk of spiritual blessings doesn’t end with me. My family is immediately brought to my forefront thoughts. And my charge as a mother is to impart these things into the hearts of my children.

Something we recently shared with our children during our family devotion time was Proverbs 4:1-13.

Hear, my children, the instruction of a father, and give attention to know understanding; ² For I give you good doctrine: Do not forsake my law.³ When I was my father’s son, tender and the only one in the sight of my mother, ⁴ he also taught me, and said to me: “Let your heart retain my words; Keep my commands, and live. ⁵ Get wisdom! Get understanding! Do not forget, nor turn away from the words of my mouth. ⁶ Do not forsake her, and she will preserve you; Love her, and she will keep you. ⁷ Wisdom is the principal thing; Therefore get wisdom. And in all your getting, get understanding. ⁸ Exalt her, and she will promote you; She will bring you honor, when you  embrace her. ⁹ She will place on your head an ornament of grace; A crown of glory she will deliver to you.”  ¹⁰ Hear, my son, and receive my  sayings, And the years of your life will be many. ¹¹ I have taught you in the way of wisdom; I have led you in right paths. ¹² When you walk, your steps will not be hindered, And when you run, you will not stumble. ¹³ Take firm hold of instruction, do not let go; Keep her, for she is your life.

Just as King David passed on wisdom to Solomon, and Solomon passed it on to his sons, so are we to pass on knowledge to our own children. I know you’ve all read it before, but as homeschoolers it’s never been more important to remember our calling. We are to show our children God’s path, and His way of wisdom. We need to be Godly examples in our home, and in the Word daily with our children.

“And these words which I command you today shall be in your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up.” ~ Deuteronomy 6:6-7

When my husband and are gone and our children remain, we want to make sure that we’ve left them a spiritual legacy that will guide them. We want them to be in the habit of going to the Word first when trials arise. We want them to know the way of wisdom, how to seek God’s will, and how to stay in right paths so that when they walk, they will not be hindered, and when they run, they will not stumble.  We want them to be filled with all the fullness of God so they may truly know the love of Christ which passes knowledge.

It’s a tall order, no?

Parenthood isn’t an easy calling, and neither is the call to teach our children at home, but thankfully we have a place to turn. If we’re feeling like we can’t measure up, or that we aren’t good enough, it’s okay. It is His power at work in us, not our own. He is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think!

I’d like to encourage you to take some time today to pray spiritual blessings over your children. If you’re at a loss for words, pray through Paul’s prayer below, you can’t ever go wrong praying through the Word of God!

Ephesians 3:14-21

Appreciation of the Mystery

¹⁴ For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,^{[a] 15} from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, ¹⁶ that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man, ¹⁷ that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, ¹⁸ may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height— ¹⁹ to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.

²⁰ Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, ²¹ to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.

If you have fallen behind, don’t fret, it’s not too late! You’ve just read the 6th week of verses above, so start fresh this week and commit to spend time in the Word each day! You will be blessed for any time you give to the Lord, so don’t sell yourself short, or condemn yourself for not keeping up! Each day is a new opportunity to start fresh and dig into the Word to see what God has for you!

Ephesians 3:14-21 ~ Week 6 is a post from: Confessions of a Homeschooler

Louisiana was the 18th state admitted to the Union on April 30, 1812. It is known as “The Pelican State” for the abundance of Brown Pelicans found along the coast. Louisiana is also known for it’s state capital which is the tallest state capital in the U.S. The building has 34 floors and is 450 feet tall. Louisiana is also known for its many bayous, slow moving streams or rivers, which flow across the state. Crawfish, shrimp, shellfish, catfish and alligators can all be found in the bayous of Louisiana! The weather there is hot and humid in summer, with occasional snow in winter.

• Located Louisiana on our wall map
• Read our National Geographic Atlas and located Baton Rouge, LA using the map coordinates.
• Worked on our 50 States and Capitals song
• Learned about the state and it’s flag
• State Reptile: The American Alligator
• State Bird: The Eastern Brown Pelican
• State Flower: The Magnolia
• State Crustacean: Crawfish
• Learned about the Louisiana Purchase
• Learned a little about New Orleans and Mardi Gras
• Made festive Mardi Gras masks
• Food: Cajun gumbo…we actually skipped this one since our kids are too keen on spicy foods, but I do have a recipe in the curriculum for you to try!
• Read: If You Traveled on the Underground Railroad by Ellen Levine
• Classified the animals of Louisiana

Here are some pictures to prove we actually did school this week ;o) Well geography anyway!

I’m really not sure what Turbo is doing here, but I believe he’s trying to add the crawfish to our “Fish” section even though it’s technically an arthropod.

And the Teeny Tot had to get involved too, she claimed the Brown Pelican, and rightly added it to our “Birds” area.

Here is Turbo, I believe he’s pretending to be happy that I’m taking his picture as he adds his state to our Trend USA Wall Poster

As I read through the state facts, everyone colors in their state worksheets. We keep them in our student notebook so they can flip back through the states we’ve learned and see a quick reference of all the fun facts for each one.

Here is Tinker Bell adding Louisiana to our United States Bulletin Board.

As we bid farewell to The Pelican State, we make sure to add it’s flag to our Travel Journal. (The travel journal and state flags are included in the Road Trip USA curriculum.)

And that wraps up our Louisiana study! If you’d like to come along with us on our Road Trip USA journey, click the image below to learn more!

What is in our boxes this week?

• Big Buttons from Oriental Trading
• Number Tracing sheet with star stickers
• Pattern Block Activity Pack from Learning Resources
• Geoboard and rubber bands
• Letter A Tracing worksheet and dry-erase marker

Number Tracing: You can either use with pencil/crayon etc, or laminate and use with dry-erase. We chose to put stickers along each number just for fun. This kid has some serious focus when she’s doing schoolwork.

She had fun with the lacing buttons today. First she made herself a necklace, then proceeded to create the most knotted bunch of buttons I think I’ve ever seen.

She really likes the Geoboard. She made shapes using colored rubber bands. Then she took them all off and did straight lines, then filled the board.

She also did an uppercase/lowercase Letter A matching game from my Letter of the Week curriculum.

She also loves to play our Rush Hour Jr. game. Although she refuses to play by the rules. She’s stubborn. I guess the glasses help her get in the “driving” mood.

And again with the Do-A-Dot markers. What IS it with those things? I’m making a petition right now to have the Do-A-Dot people come out with WASHABLE Do-A-Dot markers! Whose with me!?

Well, those were some of our favorites for this week! Have ideas to share? Make sure to link up below!

Teeny Tot Tuesday: Workbox Ideas is a post from: Confessions of a Homeschooler

In honor of last week and Valentine’s day, I wanted to share a little love with you all! So….drum roll please…I’m hosting a very SPECIAL giveaway for All About Learning today!

But before we move on, I wanted to clear a few things up! In my curriculum post I noted that I was using All About Spelling, All About Reading, and Abeka worksheets. I’ve since received several emails asking if I thought I needed to supplement.

Just for the record, NO! I do not think AAS & AAR need any type of supplement! I simply have Tinkerbell working on the Abeka worksheets because I had them already and I just have a thing about wasting curriculum! Plus I figure it can’t do any harm to do a little extra work right?

But all that said, I truly love All About Learning products, and we’ve had great success with the All About Reading Level 1 and All About Spelling Level 1.

I’ve also had several questions regarding the difference between the two products.

The Level 1 of both AAS and AAR have a similar scope and sequence. All About Reading will focus on decoding skills, fluency, comprehension, vocabulary, and will include lots and lots of reading practice, while All About Spelling focuses on the spelling side of things–how to know which letter to choose for a given sound. Both are complete phonics programs and use the same letter tiles.

All About Reading has lots and lots of fluency exercises that help strengthen reading skills.  These can be helpful for a child who has already done AAS 1 but needs more practice to read smoothly.  It’s fine to go quickly through some of the beginning lessons until you reach the lessons that are more challenging for a student.

Here is Tinker Bell working on one of the reading worksheets. To the right you’ll see the “Feed the Monster” game. This one was a favorite! First she colored a monster, then cut out a bunch of word cards to feed to him. She picked one card at a time, and if she read the card correctly she got to feed it to the monster.

Another favorite hands on All About Reading activity we did was the egg fry. First we colored in the yokes of our eggs, then used a spatula to flip them over and read the words on the other side. This one was so exciting that the Teeny Tot immediately confiscated the spatula and eggs and played the game for the rest of our school time!

Want more information?

Family Time Fitness Winner! is a post from: Confessions of a Homeschooler

In thinking about this week, I can’t help but notice how humble Paul was. He refers to himself as the “least of all the saints”. I mean just think about where he’s come from. All the way from getting saved on that road on his way to persecute Christians, to imprisonment for his fervent faith. What a turn around, and what a great example for our lives as well. I’m sure many of you have great testimonies of what God has done in your lives!

I’ve been so abundantly blessed by all that God has done in my life, but yet somehow it’s easy to forget and get discouraged in the daily grind. I think about where Paul came from, and what he’s endured for his faith and my trials are NOTHING compared to that! But then still I can get overwhelmed and down-trodden anyway. If I’m not in the Word and in prayer regularly, I forget to live boldly for my faith, and ultimately begin to doubt God’s plan for me! These verses remind me that whatever our trials are, we can overcome them because He has given His life for us,  paid our ransom, and bears all of our burdens.

For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. ~ Matthew 11:30

Therefore I ask that you do not lose heart at my tribulations for you, which is your glory. ~ Ephesians 3:13

Cast your cares on the LORD and He will sustain you; He will never let the righteous be shaken.  ~ Psalm 55:22

The mystery revealed in this weeks reading is really no mystery at all, its just hard for some to accept. We feel unworthy, that we could never measure up. Let me tell you that on your own you can’t measure up. BUT thankfully we aren’t expected to be enough on our own! We were given a savior! Jesus loves you, He died for you, and He will cleanse you from all unrighteousness if you just seek Him.

Think back to Paul and the direction he had chosen for his life. He was literally persecuting Christians and in turn Jesus. It doesn’t get much worse then that, yet the Lord saved him, then used him greatly! And Paul was humble enough to repent, seek forgiveness, and then be open to be used mightily!  My beloved, that is our encouragement to continue on, and persevere!

So no matter where we may find ourselves today… “let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.” ~ Hebrews 12:1-2

The Mystery Revealed

3 For this reason I, Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus for you Gentiles— ² if indeed you have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which was given to me for you, ³ how that by revelation He made known to me the mystery (as I have briefly written already, ⁴ by which, when you read, you may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ), ⁵ which in other ages was not made known to the sons of men, as it has now been revealed by the Spirit to His holy apostles and prophets: ⁶ that the Gentiles should be fellow heirs, of the same body, and partakers of His promise in Christ through the gospel, ⁷ of which I became a minister according to the gift of the grace of God given to me by the effective working of His power.

Purpose of the Mystery

⁸ To me, who am less than the least of all the saints, this grace was given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ, ⁹ and to make all see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the ages has been hidden in God who created all things through Jesus Christ; ¹⁰ to the intent that now the manifold wisdom of God might be made known by the church to the principalities and powers in the heavenly places, ¹¹ according to the eternal purpose which He accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord, ¹² in whom we have boldness and access with confidence through faith in Him. ¹³ Therefore I ask that you do not lose heart at my tribulations for you, which is your glory.

If you haven’t started the study yet, it’s not too late! You’ve just read the 5th week of verses above, so start fresh this week and commit to spend time in the Word each day! You will be blessed for any time you give to the Lord, so don’t sell yourself short, or condemn yourself for not keeping up! Each day is a new opportunity to start fresh and dig into the Word to see what God has for you!

Ephesians 3:1-13 ~ Week 5 is a post from: Confessions of a Homeschooler

I decided that even in the midst the chaos I needed to make time for God even if I didn’t feel like I had any to give. And you know what happened? Ephesians 2:13-15 ~ But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ. Christ Our Peace for He Himself is our peace, who has made both one, and has broken down the middle wall of separation, having abolished in His flesh the enmity, that is, the law of commandments contained in ordinances, so as to create in Himself one new man from the two, thus making peace…

I love that I’ve been brought near to Him! I am kind of high strung sometimes and though I sometimes forget, He really is my Peace, and it’s so important that we keep up with our study and make time to spend with Him each day! I definitely have better days when I start off in the Word! When I don’t, it seems like chaos reigns all day long in my kids and in me!

One thing we started doing as a family is reading through "Our 24 Family Ways" it’s a daily devotion by Sally Clarkson. I highly recommend it! It’s short, easy to do, and requires no prep! We all just gather by the fire at night right before bed and read through it. They all start with a couple questions, then a verse to read, then some more questions, then a prayer. It’s easy to do and the kids are really understanding it!

I think taking this time with our family, along with my personal time in this study has really helped me gain some peace that was missing! So if you haven’t had time to keep up, or if you’ve fallen behind for one reason or another, don’t beat yourself up! Just pick up your study and start now! You won’t regret it, any time that you spend in the Word will be a blessed one!

Ephesians 2:11-22

Brought Near by His Blood

¹¹ Therefore remember that you, once Gentiles in the flesh—who are called Uncircumcision by what is called the Circumcision made in the flesh by hands— ¹² that at that time you were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world. ¹³ But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ.

Christ Our Peace

¹⁴ For He Himself is our peace, who has made both one, and has broken down the middle wall of separation, ¹⁵ having abolished in His flesh the enmity, that is, the law of commandments contained in ordinances, so as to create in Himself one new man from the two, thus making peace, ¹⁶ and that He might reconcile them both to God in one body through the cross, thereby putting to death the enmity. ¹⁷ And He came and preached peace to you who were afar off and to those who were near. ¹⁸ For through Him we both have access by one Spirit to the Father.

Christ Our Cornerstone

¹⁹ Now, therefore, you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, ²⁰ having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the chief cornerstone, ²¹ in whom the whole building, being fitted together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord, ²² in whom you also are being built together for a dwelling place of God in the Spirit.

If you haven’t started the study yet, it’s not too late! You’ve just read the 4th week of verses above, so start fresh this week and commit to spend time in the Word each day!

Ephesians 2:11-22 ~ Week 4 is a post from: Confessions of a Homeschooler

Kentucky is the 26th state and known for it’s finest thoroughbred race horses. It is also known as “The Bluegrass State” due to the vast expanses of Bluegrass across part of the state. They also have underground deposits of limestone which make the bluegrass in Kentucky famous! Also located in Kentucky is the Louisville Slugger Museum where you can go see the world’s largest baseball bat and glove!

• Located Kentucky on our wall map
• Read our National Geographic Atlas and located Frankfort,  KY using the map coordinates.
• Worked on our 50 States and Capitals song
• Learned about the state and it’s flag
• State Fish: The Kentucky Spotted Bass
• State Bird: The Cardinal
• State Flower: The Golden Rod
• State Horse: The Thoroughbred
• The Kentucky Derby, did a mock horse race
• Louisville Slugger Museum
• Famous People: Daniel Boone
• U.S. President: Abraham Lincoln the 16th President of the U.S.
• Food: Kentucky Fried Chicken
• Classified the animals of Kentucky 
• Read: If You Traveled on the Underground Railroad by Ellen Levine

Here are some of the pictures I managed to capture during our visit to Kentucky:

Each week we read through our National Geographic Atlas, then take turns finding the capital city as well as other fun things in the state using our excellent mapping skills that we’ve gained through our trip.

We also add our state to the Trend USA Wall Poster. I purchased two, then cut one up and put velcro dots on each state so it is easy to add them as we go through our trip.

As I read through our state facts the kids color in their state worksheet. This helps them to remember what they’re learning as well as keep busy while we’re reading through the information. It’s a great way to get a visual imprint of each states fun facts as well as good for a quick review.

One of our favorite parts is adding our state animals to our classification wall. We have to take turns on these since they’re hot items!

We also add our newly found state to our bulletin display.

At the end of our trip we always add our state flag to our travel journal before moving on to the next state!

Since it was a review week, we played games and added Louisiana and Kentucky mini-books to our southeast notebook page.

And that wraps up our Kentucky study! If you’d like to come along with us on our Road Trip USA journey, click the image below to learn more!

Road Trip USA: Kentucky is a post from: Confessions of a Homeschooler

Claude Monet was born in Paris, France on November 14,1840. He is known as the founder of French Impressionist painting. Claude’s painting titled Impression-Sunrise, is what gave the Impressionist movement its name.  Characteristics of impressionism include small, thin brushstrokes, open composition and an emphasis on accurate depiction of light in its changing qualities. Monet typically worked on large canvases painting mostly natural landscapes, although he sometimes included human figures in his paintings. He was very particular about his paintings and was known to refuse to paint unless the light of the sun was reflecting exactly as he wanted it to.

If you haven’t seen the previous posts, this year for art we are studying 8 different world famous artists. We have chosen to do art twice a week, and we’ll cover one artist each month. We’re using my World’s Greatest Artists Vol. 1 curriculum, which you can download FREE, just click on the image below!

We took a few lessons and discussions to read through the Claude Monet World’s Greatest Artist series by Mike Venezia. We talked about all the different styles that he was known for, and took lots of time to familiarize ourselves with and critically assess his works of art.

As we learn how to critically assess a piece of artwork, here are some of the things we discussed for each painting:

• Describe what we see in this work of art.
• How do they think the artist was feeling when they created it? Why?
• How it makes your student feel looking at it?
• Does the use of color help convey mood?
• Is there something unusual or unique about the piece of art?
• What is going on in the work, is there a story that can be told about it? (Each of them had a few minutes to share their version of what they thought was going on in the story with us.)
• What kind of style and medium did the artist use in this work?
• Overall do you like the painting, if so yes, why? If no why not?

Strawberry Shortcake has been “deemed” official writer of artist flashcards it seems. She has the best handwriting and we’re actually doing one artist lap book, so they all share in putting it together. Looking back I probably should have let them each do their own lap book, and maybe I still will.

Once our card is filled out, we add it in with our other cards in our lap book.

I used Xyron 900 Magnetic Laminate to turn our artist puzzles into a magnetic puzzle just for fun. The kids like doing these, again I only printed one per artist, so they just take turns.

After going over all of Claude Monet’s works in the book, we put the paintings into the mini-book, then added our mini-book to our World’s Greatest Artists lap book.

We also tried our hand at painting like Monet. This proved more difficult than expected for the kiddos. To try and make it a little easier I had them draw the scene in pencil first, then paint it.

They chose Terrace at Sainte-Adresse.  It was a difficult selection, but they did a great job.

I always put the real image up for them to see as they paint for frame of reference.

Turbo was quite into detail today. He was really trying to use small brush strokes and get every detail in.

Here are some of our finished works, this is Strawberry Shortcake’s painting.

Here was Turbo’s final piece. I asked why he didn’t paint in the fence after all that and he said it was because he didn’t want to mix another color of brown! By the way, he’s an expert color mixer. Really.

And here is Tinker Bell’s art.

And that concludes our study of Claude Monet! I hope you enjoyed it. You can click here to see the other World’s Greatest Artists that we’ve covered so far!
