Scripture Memory Program

2013-05-18T11:52:00.000-04:00

Last summer, my wonderful friend Nicole from One Magnificent Obsession and I met to brainstorm ideas on creating a scripture memory program. We could not find anything that met our homeschool group's objectives. Most of us already had Bible curriculum for our children, but we wanted a separate program that would motivate our children to learn Bible verses. Nicole was familiar with the Bible Bee, which is similar to the Spelling Bee, and she had a lot of super ideas to add to it. She went off to create Truth 66, a fantastic guide for Christian families and homeschoolers to memorize the 66 books of the Old and New Testament, 25 verses, and 10 key passages.

Nicole made the game a lot of fun as they worked through the racetrack throughout the school year.
She created memory verses cards to use for practicing. Nicole had been practicing these daily with her older children, and without her realizing it, Nicole's three-year-old had memorized the scriptures and all the books of the Bible. Very impressive!
We had our first Bible Bee last week, and the kids had a chance to recite the scriptures they had learned during the school year. The kids absolutely loved it! Colton even won second place in his grade level and was thrilled!

Thank you Nicole for creating this program and sharing it with others.

Enjoy making learning fun!

On the fence about homeschooling?

2013-05-11T13:09:00.000-04:00

Do you find yourself sitting on the fence between traditional education options and homeschooling? Are you sensing God might be calling you over to homeschool? Is fear keeping you from exploring your options?
I have met many parents over the years who are right where you are. In fact, I have been there myself. There are plenty of different opinions that it's quite easy to become overwhelmed. That is why I wrote a book just for you!

I have launched my newest revision today- On the Fence about Homeschooling?

As a former school teacher and now a veteran homeschool educator, I share my personal journey with you while giving you the benefits, along with the sacrifices of homeschooling. It is my hope that after reading this book, you will be able to more confidently make a decision concerning the path that is best for your family.

If you do not have a Kindle, no worries. You can download the FREE Kindle reading app and enjoy the book on your phone, tablet, or even computer. {Click Here} for the FREE app.

Share this free resource with anyone you know who may be on the fence. It may be an encouragement to them.

Enjoy!
