Scripture: Jeremiah 23:5-6
Song: O Come All Ye Faithful
Activity: Polish Star Ornaments: Cut out a 4-inch cardboard circle. Using the cardboard as a template, trace and cut out 14 foil-paper circles. Fold one circle in half, in half again and in half once more. Unfold the circle and place it on a stack of as many circles as you can cut through. Cut along the fold lines, stopping about 1/2 inch from the center. Repeat until all the circles are cut. Form the eight segments of each circle into points by wrapping each one around the sharpened end of a pencil, as shown, and securing it with a dab of glue. Thread a needle with an 18-inch length of thread, and knot one end. Insert it through the centers of the circles -- from the foil side of the first seven and the wrong side of the rest. Gently pull on the thread, bunching the circles into a ball. Tie a knot, then form a hanging loop from the extra thread.
Simple Treat: Festive Sugar Cookies. Purchase one or two bags of Betty Crocker Sugar Cookie Mix in the bags and some red and green sugar. Mix according to package directions. (So Easy!) Roll into one inch balls. Dip in half green and half red sugar; making sure the sugar halves meet. Bake according to package directions. If you like soft cookies, be sure to take them out at the early end of the recommended time! Snickerdoodle Variation: If you prefer, this mix also makes great Snickerdoodles when dipped in a mix of cinnamon and sugar; and can be used for any cookie recipe that calls for a sugar cookie base!

About Me

The bottom line is; We try not to insist on parent-led learning or gravitate toward child-led learning. We try instead to focus on God-led learning and ask for His input and perspective on every aspect of our home school. That way, when others fuss about what Dan and I are doing and make me second guess our decisions -- I can go back to our decision process and find God's fingerprints, reminding me that this is His way.
