Even though I'm doing Rod & Staff  with my 7yo and 4yo I still "supplement" it with short thematic units.  Over the years I've done a bit of every kind of approach and method imaginable and so we "meander" into themes as life happens (no, I'm not a true blue unschooler by any stretch).  Anyway, R&S science this week is on "Winter Birds" and so we began studying birds, including the infamous turkey (this is from last year!)

Social Studies was "oceans" so of course that lead into who crossed the oceans and when, which led into the Mayflower and Pilgrims.  Our Bible story today was about manna and we talked about how God provides food for us, even if we get it from the grocery instead of it falling from the sky.  (My 4yo was amazed to learn of these "wafers" and asked "God made vanilla wafers fall from the sky?!").  It never ceases to amaze me how God pulls everything together if I just stay open-minded (and open-hearted!).
