Our Home School

The kids start their day at 7 in the morning. We have breakfast and then start our Spiritual Training. I am trying to incorporate several aspects into this part. The kids look at Children's Bibles, while I read in mine. Then they say morning prayers silently. This is followed by our weekly focus. These focal areas are Hymn Study, Worship, Real-Life Applications and Bible History. So one week we learn about and sing a particular hymn (our first one was Holy, Holy, Holy). The next week, I utilize ideas from Teaching Kids Authentic Worship. The following weeks, I read out of Sticky Situations and The Child's Story Bible, respectively. Throughout it all, we work on a monthly memory verse, review the hymn and a protestant catchism. Then we begin with the rest of our curriculum.
