MOODY SCIENCE CLASSICS – 19 DVD SET

Marvel at amazing insects, animals, and fish. Journey through the human circulatory system. Discover why the Incan culture mysteriously declined. And through it all, rejoice in the majesty of God! Packed with fascinating facts about physics, biology, astronomy, and more, these award-winning films offer your whole family a balanced approach to science, while giving credit to the Creator. 19 DVDs, 28 minutes each.  We were recently able to purchase this wonderful set of Moody Science DVDs! We have borrowed them from our church library for a while, but are now so thankful to have our very own set. Not only are these DVDs full of science to learn about, but there is always a spiritual application at the end of each video.

WONDERS OF GOD’S CREATION

This is another excellent set of DVDs focusing on God’s creation.  Your kids will LOVE these!

INCREDIBLE CREATURES THAT DEFY EVOLUTION

We have one in this series and it is a truly amazing DVD!  You and your kids will learn so much about animals and how they could have only been created by God.  Excellent!

UNLOCKING THE MYSTERY OF LIFE and THE PRIVILEGED PLANET

These two videos may be a little deep for your younger children, but they are excellent for older children and adults.  While these documentaries are not presented from a Christian viewpoint, they let science speak for itself.  Intelligent design just makes sense and is backed up by science!  While we believe that God created life and everything we see around us, these videos will equip you to back that up with scientific evidence.  Excellent!

ANSWERS WITH KEN HAM

Based in the book of Genesis, Ken Ham offers this excellent 12-part DVD series.  Each DVD is about 30 minutes long, making it a nice length for viewing with your children.  Ken Ham even offers a free study guide to go along with the DVDs.  The study guide can be downloaded here.  Be sure to include this excellent series in your family library!  Highly recommended!

THE AMERICAN HERITAGE SERIES

This 10 DVD set by Wallbuilders is an excellent source for learning the Christian heritage of the United States.  I am having my oldest daughter (a senior) watch these as part of her school work this year.  There is so much information in this set, that I am going to have her watch them through twice.  With over 13 hours of video, this will keep you busy for a while.  Excellent!!!

DRIVE THRU HISTORY SERIES – WORLD & AMERICAN HISTORY

These DVDs are some of our kids all time favorites!  They LOVE them, and have learned so much history by watching them.  I only have one DVD set pictured here, but there are actually sets for American History and World History.  Click on the links below to go to each DVD/set.  I can’t recommend these enough!  Excellent!

• American History Set #1 (Episodes 1-6)
• American History Set #2 (Episodes 7-12)
• World History:  Turkish Delight
• World History: East Meets West
• World History: Greece Is the Word
• World History:  Rome If You Want To

THE NEWTON’S WORKSHOP

There are actually 4 DVDs in this series (I only have one pictured above).  My kids loved these too…even the little ones.  Here are the 4 different DVDs that are available in this series:

• Bug Safari/Cell-a-bration
• DNA Decoder/Pollution
• World Building/Germinators
• Name Game/The World Spins

BIOLOGY 101: BIOLOGY ACCORDING TO THE DAYS OF CREATION

This is a 4 DVD set covering the topic of biology for the whole family.  I had one of my older children go through this one year for Biology, but my younger children enjoyed watching the DVDs too…and learned some things!  It comes with a PDF study guide that includes text to read and quizzes.  This is an excellent resource for Biology!  We loved it!

Life Science - FREE!

Earth Science

Chemistry

Physical Science

The complete Life Science ebook is being offered for FREE so that you can see what the curriculum is, use it, and then purchase the other three (3) if you like it.  Elementary Life Science includes both a Student Copy (over 400 pages) and a Parent Copy (over 300 pages).  Each book has been designed on a 36-week schedule and includes 9 units (1 unit to be completed each month).  Each unit contains readings, worksheets, and activities to be completed during the month.  The Parent Copy contains a 3-day schedule (do the reading and a reinforcement worksheet 1 day, then activities 2 days), answer keys for each unit, and unit tests and answer keys.

The Student Copy can either be printed out (in color) or read on the computer.  If you plan on reading the text on the computer, then you will only have about 20 pages per month of worksheets, reviews, tests, etc. to print out.  The activities that go with each unit do not require expensive materials.  Most things you will be able to find around the house.

While this curriculum has not been written from a Christian perspective, after glancing through the Life Science ebook I really did not see anything that would be objectionable.  Mr. Q actually wrote this curriculum with homeschoolers in mind. He is a junior high science teacher who began writing curriculum to tutor and offer classes for homeschoolers.  Anyway….My 11 year old son was really wanting something this year that he could do some “hands-on” activities with.  After looking over the Life Science curriculum with him last night, he was very excited about it.  So I think we will give it a try.

Besides her blog, Ann has written some books!  I had the privilege of coming along side Ann when she wrote her first geography book, A Child’s Geography.  Ann wrote a second geography book for children called A Child’s Geography-Explore the Holy Land.  These are both excellent!

Over the past year Ann has also mentioned that she was under contract with Zondervan to write a book that would be published in 2011.  Well, this morning I found out more details!  Oh I am so excited!  If you have followed Ann’s blog at all, you have heard about her 1000 Gifts List.  Well…her new ebook (to be out in January 2011) is called One Thousand Gifts – A Dare to Live Fully Right Where You Are.  I can’t wait to get a copy!  Click here to go to Zondervan’s site for more information on Ann’s new book.

A couple years ago, I had the privilege of reviewing the book, The Well Trained Heart, by Ray and Donna Reish.  Well, Ray and Donna have a parenting blog called Positive Parenting Three-Six-Five.   I have been following their blog for a while now and every post is filled with such great parenting advice.   I thought I would share it with you too.  Click here or on the banner above to go to their blog.  Plan on being there a while….much good reading!  Today’s post is such an excellent idea to do for your children…go check it out!

BISCUITS

3 cups unbleached white flour (or I use the hard white wheat that I grind into flour)
2 T. sugar
1 1/2 t. sea salt
4 1/2 t. baking powder
1/2 cup butter, melted
1 cup milk

Mix dry ingredients in Bosch.  Then add butter and allow to mix in with the dry ingredients.  Add milk last and let mix until soft and smooth.  (If doing by hand, mix dry ingredients in a large bowl.  Cut in softened butter.  Add milk and mix well, using hands to work dough until smooth.)

Roll out dough and cut into biscuits.  I make about 10-12 medium-sized biscuits.

Bake at 450 degrees for 8-12 minutes.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

GRAVY

1 pound sausage (or whatever meat you want to use)
1 cup milk
1/4 cup flour (I use whole wheat flour)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 dash pepper
2 cups milk

Brown or cook your meat first. Then in a small container put the 1 cup milk, flour, salt, and pepper.  Put lid on and shake to mix.  Add to pan of meat.  Stir in additional milk (2 cups). Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until bubbly.  Cook and stir 1-2 minutes more or until thickened.

4 cups whole wheat flour (I like to use hard white wheat, freshly ground)
1 1/2 teaspoons sea salt
7 Tablespoons olive oil
1 1/3 cups warm water

Mix flour and salt in a Bosch, mixer with dough hook, or your food processor.  Add in olive oil slowly until mixture is crumbly.  Slowly add in warm water.  Add additional flour if needeed to make a nice soft dough (not too hard, but not too sticky).  Let it mix until the dough is nice and smooth.

Divide into 12 balls and let rest, covered with plastic wrap, for 30 minutes.

Press and bake in tortilla maker OR roll out and fry on hot griddle.

Enjoy!

It’s here!  I am so excited to announce a brand new ebook…just in time to use for the coming school year – Intermediate Language Lessons-Part 1 (Grade 4)!  Taking Emma Serl’s original text (including all the lovely graphics), I have included blank lines throughout the ebook for your child to write in the answers to questions, do copywork, write dictation, write essays, etc.  All work will be done in the workbook, so no other paper is needed.  The best part about the ebook format is that you will be able to use it with all your children.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A REVIEW BY A HOMESCHOOL MOM:

I love this edition of Emma Serl’s Intermediate Language Lessons. Emma Serl’s language arts books incorporate such a gentle approach to learning language arts and are very consistent with Charlotte Mason’s philosophy of education. This ebook edition by Sheri Graham takes Ms. Serl’s works to the next level for the modern day homeschooler. There are three reasons you need to buy this edition:

1. It is two books in one. The original book and a workbook are combined in one easy to use format. The workbook is integrated into the body of the text, allowing ample room for even the largest handwriting.

2. It is complete. It contains all of the original work’s content including the pictures and graphics. There is no need to purchase any other edition.

3. It is the last copy you will ever need. Since it is an ebook, you can simply print out as many copies as needed for all your children.

Sheri Graham’s ebook edition of Intermediate Language Lessons will help make language arts easy. I really love it and wish it had been around when I used this with my older daughter. I can’t wait to use it with my other children.

–Enthusiastic supporter and homeschool mom, Karin Owens

Put all ingredients into your food processor.  Blend up until smooth and forms into a ball.

Shape into walnut-size balls and store in a covered container in the refrigerator.

____________________

Note:  My youngest prefers these over chocolate chip cookies…so they must be good!  We absolutely love these!  You could even freeze them and just pull out a few at a time to satisfy your sweet tooth.  Yummy!

1 – In a large saucepan, melt butter.  Stir in cocoa until dissolved and smooth.

2 – To the butter/cocoa mixture add the sugar, eggs, vanilla, flour, and salt.  Mix well.

3 – Spread in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.

4 – Sprinkle chocolate chips on top.

5 – Bake at 325 degrees for 30-40 minutes, testing with a toothpick to see if done.

____________________

Note:  I know these are not really “healthy”, but I have been looking a LONG time for a yummy brownie recipe (that doesn’t come out of a box!).  Well…I found it!  This recipe is so yummy for a special treat.  Enjoy!

1 1/2 cups rolled oats, chopped in food processor
1/2 cup sunflower seeds, chopped in food processor
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup chopped dates
1/2 cup milled flax seed
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup honey

Chop rolled oats and sunflower seeds in a small salad chopper or food processor, then transfer to a medium-sized bowl. Add remaining ingredients and mix well with a wooden spoon or your hands. Roll into balls the size of a walnut and place on a plate. Place in refrigerator to harden. Once they are hard, they can be transferred to a Tupperware bowl. Store in the refrigerator or freezer.

Note:  Since I bought a food processor a while back, I just dump all the above ingredients in my food processor and let it whir until it forms a nice ball.  Everything gets chopped up nicely.  My kids LOVE these!

Variations: You can take this recipe and add your own favorite dried fruits – apricots, apples, coconut, etc. Be creative!

I wanted to give everyone a bit of an update on some things I have been and will be working on during the next several weeks…more goodies for you!

I have been busy this week working on completing an ebook I began over a year ago!  Many of you are familiar with Emma Serl’s language arts books:  Primary Language Lessons (for grades 1-3) and Intermediate Language Lessons (for grades 4-6).  Well, over a year ago I began taking Emma Serl’s Intermediate Language Lessons and reformating and editing the text into a workbook format.  I am currently working on completing the Intermediate Language Lessons workbook for Part 1 (Grade 4). I hope to have it completed in the next week or so.  I am so excited about this!  I know you can purchase a hardcover edition of this book, and you can even purchase hard copies of this book in a workbook format…but I wanted to provide this workbook as an ebook…you buy it once and use it for all your kids!

Taking Emma Serl’s original text (only editing where needed to bring the instruction up to date), I have included blank lines throughout the ebook for your child to write in the answers to questions, do copywork, write dictation, write essays, etc.  All work will be done in the workbook, so no other paper is needed.  The best part about the ebook format, as I mentioned above, is that you will be able to use it with all your children.

As with all my ebooks, I plan on making this as affordable as possible.  Watch for more details on this ebook very soon!  I can’t wait!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Note:  Once I complete this ebook, my next project is to begin working on totally revamping The 12-Week Holiday Planner for the Christian Family.  This ebook was one of my first, and is in much need of updating and expanding.  Watch for more details on the Holiday Planner in about a month or so!  Once I complete the new version of the Holiday Planner, I plan on finishing the Intermediate Language Lessons series – publishing Part 2 (Grade 5) and Part 3 (Grade 6) as soon as I get them done.  I pray these ebooks will bless you in your home and homeschool!

I’m off now…back to editing .

Have a blessed day!

I just have to tell you about my exciting gluten-free discovery this morning!  First, for most of the past year I have been enjoying “Cream of Rice” hot cereal every morning.  (It is like the “Cream of Wheat” only in a much smaller box.)  I have been paying about $2.65 for a little 14 oz box at Dillons.  Yesterday I thought I had lost a dear friend when I found Dillons no longer had it, nor a place for it.  This morning (rather mourning!)  I put on my Sheri Graham thinking cap and went to my kitchen to experiment.  I cleaned out my coffee grinder really well and then tossed in about 1/4 cup of my Jasmine rice.  I added water and a dash of salt and then cooked it just like I do the store-bought.  It worked beautifully for only pennies!!!!  Another thing I like to do with this, since building bones is my goal now, is to add one of those calcium vitamin chews like Viactin or the Wal-mart brand.  They melt quickly and add a bit of flavor plus LOTS of calcium, vit D, and K!!!  I have used both the carmel flavor and the chocolate.  If I use the chocolate, I throw in a few dark chocolate chips (for the antioxidants of course!)  and I think it tastes every bit as good as chocolate Malto-Meal.  Honey, cinnamon and the like also work well!

Also, just for fun, Christian and I calculated out the price per serving.  Buying cream of rice in the box costs about 29 cents per serving and making it myself (I buy Jasmine rice in 20# bags) costs only about 7 cents per serving!

Terri gave me permission to share this with you…so enjoy!  Here is the recipe again:

Homemade Cream of Rice

Serves 1

1 – Grind 1/4 cup rice in your coffee grinder

2 – Add boiling water and salt to taste

3 – Add in extras (calcium vitamin chews, chocolate chips, cinnamon, honey, raisins, nuts, etc.)

4 – Enjoy!

Makes 2 loaves or 2 dozen rolls

Put ingredients into pan of bread machine in the following order:

• 1 1/2 cups warm water
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 teaspoons salt (sea salt preferred)
• 4 cups unbleached flour (use a combo – 1 wheat/3 white)
• 1/3 cup sugar (honey preferred)
• 1/2 cup instant potato flakes
• 5 teaspoons active dry yeast

Set bread machine on “dough” cycle. Once done with dough cycle, turn out onto floured surface. Knead a little to get all the air out, then shape into 2 loaves or 24 rolls and put into greased pans. Put in warm oven with a dish towel over the pans to raise. (Before I put the pans in, I usually turn the oven on for a few minutes to warm it up, then turn the oven off and turn the oven light on to keep it warm inside while the bread raises.) Let bread raise for about 1 hour in the oven.

This recipe will not make huge loaves, but the dough should raise until about even with the top of the pans, then raise more as it bakes.

When ready to bake, remove towel, leave pans in the oven, turn oven on to 325 degrees and set timer for 25 minutes. The bread will continue to rise a little while the oven is warming up. I find this works pretty well.

Note: As I said above, this recipe does not make huge 2-lb. loaves like some do. This recipe was from my bread machine book and I just adjusted it to make two small loaves of bread. I think it will make more like two 1-lb. or 1 1/2-lb. loaves.

But…what I was really wanting was to be able to use my regular bread recipe to make the English muffins with. Would it work? Well…this morning I tried…and it worked!

Here is how I did it…

HOMEMADE CINNAMON RAISIN ENGLISH MUFFINS

Note: This recipe is for the cinnamon raisin English muffins. To make the plain version, simply omit the cinnamon and raisins and follow the remainder of the recipe.

Homemade bread dough (enough for 2 loaves of bread)
1/2 cup chopped raisins
1 teaspoon cinnamon
cornmeal

To make the dough, follow the directions for Sheri’s 100% Whole Wheat Bread (Using the 2-Stage Process) OR use your own bread recipe. You will just need enough dough to equal two loaves of bread.

Before I put the dough into the buttered bowl to rise the first time (my recipe linked above will make 5 loaves of bread) – I took out enough dough for 2 loaves. I put the lump for the 3 loaves in the buttered bowl, covered it with a towel, and left it to rise in my warmed oven (then follow the rest of the recipe to complete these loaves of bread). The other lump of dough for (the 2 loaves worth), I put back in my Bosch and added in the raisins and cinnamon. You will make the English muffins out of this.

Once the raisins and cinnamon is mixed in, roll out the dough to 1/2 inch thick on a surface sprinkled with cornmeal. Use a round cutter (I used a small tupperware bowl because we like big English muffins) and cut them out, placing them on a cookie sheet lined with wax paper (spray the wax paper first with non-stick cooking spray or the muffins will stick!).

Cover with a clean dishtowel and let rise for about an hour.

Heat a griddle or skillet to medium heat. I found that using a skillet with a lid worked better. When I just used the griddle it seemed the outsides browned but the inside was a bit doughy still. Brown the muffins on a hot griddle or skillet, turning once. It is better to use a bit lower temperature and make sure the insides get done or you will get the outsides too brown. Ask me why I know .

Once they are lightly browned on each side, remove to a cooling rack. Slice with a bread knife and store in the refrigerator or freezer.

Yield:  Makes 12 large English muffins.

Note: I loved it that I could use my bread recipe because it uses the 2-stage process of soaking the flour…AND it uses ALL whole wheat flour too! The next time I make these I am going to make some plain English muffins too. In fact, I might just use the whole (5 loaf) recipe and make half plain and half cinnamon raisin. Having these in the freezer will be wonderful! Oh…we used the plain English muffins (that I made with the other recipe I posted last week) and made egg, sausage, and cheese sandwiches for our Sunday breakfast. We have been buying plain bagels for this, but now that I can make these English muffins, the store-bought bagels will be replaced with something healthier! Yeah!

Mix up the following ingredients in a plastic bowl (or just mix up in your Bosch or heavy duty mixer), cover, and let it sit out on the counter for 12-24 hours:

• 9 cups whole wheat flour
• 4 cups (1 quart) buttermilk (or you could use 4 cups water & 4 tablespoons whey or lemon juice)(You can use homemade buttermilk or store-bought)
• 1 cup filtered water

After the above ingredients have soaked for 12-24 hours, transfer the dough to your Bosch or heavy duty mixer.

In a 2 cup liquid measuring cup, mix up the following to “sponge” the yeast. Let sit for a few minutes while you add the rest of the ingredients to the mixer:

• 1/2 cup warm water
• 3 tablespoons yeast
• 1 teaspoon honey
• 1 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

Add the following ingredients into the Bosch mixer in the following order and mix:

• 1/2 cup olive oil or butter, melted
• 3/4 cup honey
• 1 tablespoon sea salt, heaping
• Yeast mixture (above)
• 2 cups whole wheat flour

Start the mixer and immediately add in another 1 cup of flour. Keep adding flour until dough doesn’t stick to sides of bowl. Knead on Speed 2 for about 7-8 minutes.

1st Rise: Transfer dough to a large greased bowl. Once the dough is in the bowl, flip it over so that the top of the dough gets greased. Cover bowl with a dishtowel. Place bowl in warm place to raise until double (about 1 hour)

2nd Rise: Punch dough down, flip over, cover, and let raise until double again (about 30-45 minutes).

3rd Rise: Punch dough down and remove from bowl to a greased countertop. Knead a few times, then cut dough into 5 lumps. Shape loaves and place in buttered bread pans. Cover pans with dishtowels and place them in a warm place to raise one more time – until double (about 30 minutes).

Turn oven to 350 degrees and bake for about 30 minutes or until bread is browned on all sides.

Yield: Makes 5 loaves

Tips: I like to use the oven as a place to let my bread rise. I usually turn the oven on for a few minutes and then turn it off. This is just enough to get the oven warm. I turn the oven light on too. I set the bowl, covered, in the oven for the 1st and 2nd rise, then put the bread pans in the oven, covered, for the 3rd rise. It works great! Also, the rising times may vary depending on how warm your oven is, how warm the dough is, etc.

Note from Sheri: I love how this recipe turned out. I am so excited that I was able to use 100% whole wheat – NO white flour at all! The bread still turned out really nice and soft. I freeze my bread when I make larges batches like this, and the bread is still soft after being frozen and thawed! If you do not want to use all whole wheat flour and want to use a combination of both, you can use white flour as well. Just be sure to use the unbleached white flour, and use the same amounts as listed in the recipe.

A while back Dr. Michael Teplitsky graciously sent me a review copy of his ebook, Common Sense Health Guide: Nutrition and Your Health.  I am always looking for good resources to learn more about healthy living, so I was excited to dig into this ebook.  I immediately scanned it over and decided this was definitely a book I wanted to read in detail…slowly.  Well, this past weekend I finally got some time to read over Dr. Teplitsky’s book…and I am so anxious to recommend it to you.

Many of the topics covered in the ebook where ones I had learned a little about.  I guess I should say I have learned the “what to do” to improve my health, but this book covered so many of the “why to do it” explanations.  Coming from a medical doctor, I kind of expected the ebook to be hard to understand.  But Dr. Teplitsky has a way of explaining all the “why’s” behind why we should make the health choices we make, that even I could easily understand it.

Here are some of the topics covered in this ebook:

• PROTEINS DEMYSTIFIED
• CARBOHYDRATES
• FATS – FRIENDS OR FOES?
• OMEGA 3 AND OMEGA 6 – THE FATS OF LIFE
• INTRODUCTION TO VITAMINS AND MINERALS
• VITAMINS, MINERALS AND WHAT THEY CAN DO FOR YOU (This is an amazing chapter…chock full of information all about vitamins!)
• THE TRUTH ABOUT CHOLESTEROL AND OTHER HEALTH MYTHS

I appreciated the simple approach that Dr. Teplitsky took with this ebook, making it easy for common folk to understand.  Not only will you come away from reading this ebook with some great challenges to improve your health, but also a greater understanding as to why you should.

If you are interesed in purchasing this ebook, click here to go to the Common Sense Health Guide website.  You can read a sample chapter too!
