I hope that everyone had a wonderful Christmas season. We had a very blessed Christmas. My husband finally had Christmas off and he took a little extra time off too! It was great. We had some really good quality family time. 

Now it’s time to get back to school!! We started back to school the 1^st of January; however we kept it part time up until this week. So this week we went back to full days.

 Oh, we did have excellent New Years news!! We got those orders to move that we’ve been waiting for!!

 This is our schedule for this week. I did want to post it earlier in the week but my days got away from me. The kids had a good time with the Christopher Columbus craft and I will post some pics of that later.


Mondays we will be taking off for the next 3 months due to my husband’s schedule.

 
Tuesday AM - read books about Christopher Columbus and do a map activity. We may also start the craft project for Wednesday to ensure it gets done.

Tuesday PM - In the EAL book we will be starting with leading and leadership. The first two weeks we will be evaluating what qualities make a good leader. Today we will look to the Bible and discover what guidance God gives us about good leaders and what God says a good leader is. We will then write a short paper on what God's word says and what we think each verse means.

Wednesday AM - We will continue looking at Columbus today. I found a great project on enchantedlearning.com. The kids will draw on poster board the area surrounding Columbus' voyage and paint/color the continents green and the waters blue. We will then label the map as well as Columbus' route. We'll make three ships using an egg carton and some other supplies and then trace the route using the small ships! I think we will have to get the map done Tuesday and the ships today.

Wednesday PM - We will contrast the requirements for King of Israel with the requirements for President of the U.S. We'll look at what things God considered and what He did not. We will also "attempt" to dramatize the scene of Samuel anointing David and discuss the differences between anointing and electing.

Thursday AM - Today we'll move onto 1497 and take a look at John Cabot. Depending on what material I can find this may be a very short lesson. :) Thursday PM - We will again look to the Bible to find out why our Founding Fathers embraced the idea of representation. We will also look at how the high priest of Israel was a representative for the nation.

Friday AM - Move to 1500 and look at Vasco Nunez De Balboa. I am looking for some activities or supplements still.

Friday PM - Spend some time looking at some of Clinton's decisions and discussing if these were wise or unwise. We will also discuss whether past behavior is an indication of a man's character and ability to lead in righteousness.
