Schooling Day 2

I love, love , LOVE, “Moving Beyond the Page” . Its awesome!! Zion is loving it and so am I.

He is reading “Little House in the Big Woods” right now, and is learning all about how people lived in the “old days”.

For Science we are learing about different types of dirt and plants, and which plants grow better in what kinds of soil.

Here’s some of the experiments that came with the curriculum. He has a lot more to do, that involve every day stuff around the house. He usually does 1-2 experiments/activities per day.

These are the boys’ Bible Charts that came with the “Bob Jones Bible”. For every new person we learn about, they get to add them to the timeline. They love this part of it. The charts are made very nice, out of a heavy card stock and laminated. I love that part.


This is Zion’s History Timeline that came with the M.B.T.P. curriculum. He will be adding lots of people to this before the end of the year. Right now we have only added “Laura Ingalls”.

In order to keep track of each of the kids Bible verses, every week, I am using a dry erase board. This is working very, very well.

Azariah likes his video teacher, and is loving learning to write in cursive. This is his first year for cursive, but he’s taking to it very well.

Glorianna is learning colors, numbers, shapes, and how to cut properly, and color in the lines. Today she studied the number “1” and made a “1” person.


Zion has decided that Saxon math is a lot of fun. He is getting faster at his adding skills, so therefore, is moving along at a very nice pace.
Thus ends day 2….

    Awesome! I don't remember learning about MBTP, but I think I'll look into it! I read "Little House…" with the girls this summer in preparation for their copywork/narration exercises. I really would like some hands-on experiments in the future, though. Glad it went so well!
