If ever you come across an activity that you, or your kiddo(s) just aren't excited about- be sure to go view our additional resources page. (COMING SOON!) We have different suggestions there on a variety of topics that might appeal to you more!

​
 

WEEK 1 |  DO DAILY:

BIBLE: We start off each and every day together as a family in prayer and scripture! Proverbs 22:6, “Direct your children onto the right path, and when they grow up, they will not leave it.” Every day read one chapter (unless noted), stop and discuss, and check out any additional resources listed here.

After we read- spend some time journaling about what was read in their Bible Journal. You can do this with either a plain notebook to write/draw in each day, or get a watercolor notebook and spend a little time after each day's reading to paint something. Even if it's just painting a picture/background and then writing a verse that stood out to you on the painting once it dries.

​

Refer to the School Supplies PDF for a full breakdown of everything we use on this.

​

This week we are reading James, chapters 1-5. Before reading, review The Bible Made Easy for Kids pages 358-359.

​

Along with your daily readings and journaling- let's read one topic per day out of Randy Alcorn's, Heaven for Kids. There is a full edition (titled Heaven) that you're very much encouraged to read- but we'll focus on this copy to cover the information in a family focused format. Read the first 5 points this week (pages 1-6).

​

We will also share a weekly Bible Verse- read this together, out loud, every single day before each meal. (Or more even!) You should all have it memorized by the end of the week! Be sure to print out this document so that you can hang up the verse each week, let the Littles trace the words, Big Kids can copy write this in their Bible Journal, and Teens can not only copy this down- but expand more on the verse and how they can apply it to their life, what it really means to us, etc...

​

​Study this Book of Instruction continually. Meditate on it day and night so you will be sure to obey everything written in it. Only then will you prosper and succeed in all you do. - Joshua 1:8

​
 

READING: Every day we will read one chapter (unless noted) in a book, together as a family. If you have multiple kids- be sure to let the older kids read to their younger siblings, take turns, but above all- have fun! Read, discuss, and at the end we'll watch the movie and compare/contrast the differences!

We're starting this year with The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis. (Audiobook HERE & Free PDF HERE) Read chapters 1 through 5 this week. Randy Alcorn references this story many times throughout his book on Heaven- discuss the similarities you find.

​

Littles: We'll be using Teach Your Child to Read in 100 Easy Lessons. If your little one isn't interested in learning to read-- that is just fine! Leave it alone, try again in a week, a month or a year. They'll learn when they're ready! If you spend time each day reading to them- that's wonderful! If your Little is already reading- that's fine too! Review anything they may need to strengthen, and then be sure to keep plenty of books around so they can read on their own as they feel inclined to do so.

​

Big Kids: The Big Kids need to spend 10-20 minutes each day doing independent reading. I highly recommend the readers that correlate with each level of The Good and The Beautiful language arts program that we're using. But, if they prefer a different book- that's ok too!

​

Teens: Our Teens need to have a minimum of 20 minutes doing independent reading as well. There are books that are used through our recommended Language Arts program (The Good & The Beautiful), or they can select an additional book to read here too.

​​

​

LANGUAGE ARTS: We recommend using The Good & The Beautiful by Jenny Phillips. Our family has tried a billion options- and all of our kids pick this as their favorite hands down-- see HERE! The other cool part- most of the levels can be downloaded for FREE, or you can purchase the physical copies as well. See me discuss the options on that HERE. More about this is broken down in the School Supplies PDF.

​

Every day, all levels, will do 1 lesson. This includes the daily lesson, spelling practice, phonics/sight words, etc… as listed on your G&B instructions. If you don't do all of it, that's just fine too. You can do as your child needs.

​

We will also have linked activities to supplement, or do in place of TGATB if you prefer. :)

​

*If you have a Little kiddo and they're not interested-- don't push it! It can be offered, but not mandatory. If they would prefer to just have some cheap work books available to do as wanted, that's ok too! The workbook portion of this is not required at this age, refer to Better Late Than Early by Dr. Raymond and Dorothy Moore.

​​

​

MATH: Set up an account with CK12, Khan Academy, and/or Xtra Math (Highly recommended for drilling in the core math facts) each day let your kiddo(s) spend some time there strengthening their foundation skills and moving up as they feel comfortable in doing so. The best way to learn is to apply the methods- include your kids in helping you with real life situations and let them work out the math to come up with the answers.

​

You can also sign up for Prodigy! My kids were not very happy about the fact that it's a magical/wizard like theme, but they love the fun of playing and the ability to play with one another that they decided they could ignore the magical elements as it is just a game. (Just so you know, in case that comes up with your family.) I love that they are eager to get the math problems correct on their own so they can advance the game. We play 15-30 minutes of this after our daily items are all done- and I'm usually pulling them off of the computers even them as they scream “More math! More math!” … I'm really not kidding!

​​

​

​

ELECTIVES | DO 1 PER DAY:

BAKING: Every week we'll have an item to bake & try out! Let your kid(s) do as much as possible, even if it gets a little messy! These recipes are awesome for them to learn and create for friends and family too. This week we'll be making Back to School Brownies- click HERE for the recipe!

​​

​

CRAFTING: I prefer to keep our electives of crafting somewhere more along the lines of handicrafts- items our children can learn to craft into useable items, vs more paintings and colorings that don't quite serve a real purpose. Don't get me wrong- I love the artwork my kiddos produce-- I just don't need to add to it every single week. There are some great suggestions HERE, we'll work through a variety of these suggestions. If your kid(s) find something they are really interested in-- let them go for it! If the weekly suggestions isn't something anyone likes- feel free to try something else!

Let's make these gorgeous macrame planters this week!

​​

​

HISTORY: We'll be reading in The Story of the World, Volume 2 each week this year. We'll also have a chapter of What Really Happened During the Middle Ages from time to time as we read through. This week read Chapter One of The Story of the World, then check out the videos HERE.

​

Fed Up is a documentary we highly recommend-- Sugar. It's the culprit to SO many of the health issues we see in mass all around us. Changing how much we consume makes such a difference in our bodies- discuss sugar in your lives after you watch the film. Track how much you consume in a day for the next couple days. How much should you consume? What are natural ways to sweeten the foods we eat? What dietary changes can we make as a family to lessen the amount if daily sugar intake? Maybe a family challenge to quit sodas for a month, or to stop sugary breakfast cereals and eat a healthier option of eggs or oatmeal?

Teens: Get your teen involved in the household's monthly finances. The best way to prepare our teens for adulthood, is to involve them in adult tasks while they're in our home. Can your teen be responsible for paying one of the family bills? Maybe each month they can be responsible for logging in online and paying a certain bill, show them how to track it in your checkbook, or how to log in to your bank account and confirm the funds before doing so. Electricity, tv, internet-- none of this is free. Let's teach our teens how we budget and pay everything each month for them. Maybe you're struggling with your budget- involving them in the struggles and successes are important.

WEEK 7 |  DO DAILY:

BIBLE: Read Revelation chapters 10-14, one chapter per day, then journal each day about what you read. Every Sunday Pastor JD Farag posts a prophecy update HERE- watch these as a family. We are seeing the stones being laid all over the world to set the stage for the scriptures to be fulfilled! What a time to be alive-- and how important for us to share the gospel of Jesus with everyone!

​

Before you start reading Revelation, I cannot suggest enough that you watch the Revelation series of studies by Andy Woods. Even your older kids could learn a lot from it!

​

Read one topic in Heaven for Kids each day, pages 67-75.

​

Read the week's Bible verse as a family before every meal (or more). By the end of the week you should all have it memorized! Print out the PDF of all the year's memory verses to hang up in your school space, let little kids trace the words, and the older kiddos can write it down in their Bible Journal.

​

Our people must learn to do good by meeting the urgent needs of others; then they will not be unproductive. - Titus 3:14

We're going to work on beginning letter/number writing. Really just letting them do as much as they're interested in now. (Your Little One can also copy sentences from books or that you write down if they're hungry for more writing practice and have their letters down really, really well. Going over their letters again, even if they know them, is fine too! The point is to keep a relaxed environment where we get REALLY strong with the basics and foster a love for learning and exploring!)

Teens: Have you and your teen been working together to handle the family finances? Maybe seeing how much everything actually costs will help them understand what it really takes to keep a household running. We know that we have to take care of our responsibilities, but what about the excess? If/when there is extra money after our basic needs are met (not talking excess and extravagance), what should we do with that? Search the scriptures together- how should we steward our means? Does your teen have any suggestions on adjustments you should make as a family to serve God with your financial means? Discuss this together and then pray about it- where is God calling you?
