Home schooling at the homefront

Need some ideas if anyone has any. I found a really great study I could use as we study Mary. The Bible study takes a look at the Gospels according to Mathew, mark, Luke & Acts but I also found some great activities to concentrate on. The kids are excited about the lesson but I am now in search of a great movie that we can show to go with our Unit study. Any ideas??? Has anyone seen Mary of Nazareth? What do you think about it?

Home schooling this month has so much going on at our home. With Bible studies, lessons, and a shorter month, we are trying to get it all in ---but not sure how we will manage. God first though!!!

We ordered the Menorah for our Hanukkah celebration. Theresa Haigler, Michelle's Life Group leader was very generous and shared it with us. We will use the unit lesson for all 3 of our kids. JD is also looking at the Advent wreath and its meanings.

Michelle will plan the menu for the Hanukkah meals, and Krissy will be in charge of the readings. JD will teach us what he learned about the Advent wreath.

We decided to add some celebrations to our home school curriculum this month as it is a blessing to learn as a family but also to bond and make wonderful memories as we begin the season.

We are running a little late on the advent but JD will catch us up tonight. I am excited to be their teacher and their mother.

Thank You God for blessing me.
