Studying Abraham and Using the Bible as Our Main Text

This week have finally gotten back into some normalcy after Hurricane Sandy. We have studied Abraham this week.
Since the book we were using, Genesis: Finding Our Roots finished up in Genesis 11, I now had to find some more resources to help me out.
I still chose spelling words from our passages, and we had some writing assignments based on what we read in our Bible.  
The resources that I used this week in addition to our Bible were:
This printable family tree of Abraham’s descendants
Abraham printables
It feels good to return to routine. We will be studying Thanksgiving next week, and then we will go back to our Bible as our main text-studying Christmas!!

Join me in the next few weeks, as I reflect on going back to “old-school” Christmas.  The memories I have as a child of Christmas have nothing to do with the Christmas of today’s society. They are all about family, laughter, and simple traditions. I have vowed to keep things very simple this year, and focus on our family. No Pinterest, no trying to keep up with all the Christmas ideas/activities. We will be in our Bible mostly as we prepare our hearts for the best gift…salvation through the birth of our Savior!

Homeschooling With the Bible As Your Main Text- Recap



Welcome! Have you subscribed to this blog yet? You will be encouraged to simplify all areas of your life… straight to your email!  Subscribe
 here!

Join me as I share all that we have been doing this fall since we have decided to use our Bible as our main textbook. I am joining the iHomeschool Network’s Homeschool Hopscotch! Be sure to go over and check out so many awesome topics for this huge blog hop!


Here is a recap from this 10 Day Series. I hope you all enjoyed reading about our journey. Yes, it is a journey, and certainly not one I have perfected yet, but I am learning along the way.

The most asked question is, “Just what does our typical day look like?” I wrote about that back one Day 1, so make sure to read it and see how we typically school on a day at home.

I am going to continue to add to my resources page, including free resources from the web. I will continue to write about this journey once this series is over, at least once per week, so please make sure to subscribe.

Next week I have a giveaway coming you won’t want to miss…we will also be focusing on Simplifying…Once and for all.

Be blessed!

A reader recently wrote me asking for free resources that she can use in her family’s homeschool. While the resources on my resource page are not necessarily free, most of them I have found at the local library as well as a local church library. Never underestimate the value of a library!

Today I have compiled a list of {free} resources from the web which can also be used to supplement your Bible. Enjoy!

Worksheetworks.com- {a site where you can enter ANY text to make your own copywork pages-manuscript or cursive}
Creation Coloring Pages
Bible Class Books
An Old Fashioned Education-Bible
Heart of Wisdom
A Kid’s Heart- Bible Resources
Ancient Hebrew-free ebook
Bible Study tools
Bible Gateway
Bible study for kids
Garden of Praise-free educational matierals

*disclosure: I do not necessarily endorse all of these sites. They are simply a list I compiled through research on the web. They were all free at the time of posting.
