Don't forget the International Day of Prayer for the Persecuted Church is November 20, 2005!

IF YOU MISSED THE FIRST ONE, THERE'S ONE MORE DAY COMING UP!

     On Nov. 3 I was picked as a winner of the Featured Blogger of the Week contest. I didn't post about it right away because I was waiting for the gift to come. Well it came so here goes my write-up.

     This is a banner for the gift I received. It's a curriuclum that teaches children as young as kindergarten how to write paragraphs and essays. It only teaches the format. At first, I was like, 'do y'all know I have preschoolers?' I didn't think they'd be ready for that stuff until years from now. Then I talked with the developers of the curriuclum and was assured that I'd be able to use it with my preschool children. When I looked at the curriculum I only saw two parts that I can use with my chidlren. Now that I've read about it I'm also trying to figure out where to fit this into our home school. I know there are many great products out there, but this doesn't seem to fit what we're doing right now.....unless I just use it as an aid in learning math concepts. Sorting and grouping (which are the basci building blocks of this curriuclum) and math concepts. I caould probably introduce it as that. Only problem is the curriuclum want syou to continue teaching it in regards to paragraphs for the rest of the year. I've eben talking about how the Holy Spirit led me away from a curriculum. Do I just pick this one up? Questoins, questions, questions. I know the One with the answers!! Check out Our Home Schooling Journey to find out what answer we received.

     In the meantime, I'd like to thank Spunky, Gena and Julie for recognizing me in their contest. I greatly appreciate it!!!
