Quotes To Think On


The Christian is the one whose imagination should fly beyond the stars.- Francis Schaeffer



Is our image of "the state of the world" and of our role in it any way shaped by the fact that we are Christians? What fundamental grid do we work from as we project meaning on bare "facts" to navigate our lives? Does our world fundamentally taste sour? Do we look at it through rose tinted glasses? Or is it the bare stage of our unexpected encounters with the mystery of God?



"There is no such thing on earth as an uninteresting subject; the only thing that can exist is an uninterested person."
G. K. Chesterton



"We have to be braver than we think we can be, because God is constantly calling us to be more than we are, to see through plastic sham to living, breathing reality, and to break down our defenses of self-protection in order to be free to recieve and give love."
Madeline L'Engle



"To be a witness does not consist in engaging in propaganda, nor even in stirring people up, but in being a living mystery. It means to live in such a way that one's life would not make sense if God did not exist."

Cardinal Suhard



"I would be the most content if my children grew up to be the kind of people who think decorating consists mostly of building enough bookshelves."
Anna Quindlen



"Christ didn't tell us to go to the government and pass a bill to get some of these social problems dealt with. He told us to do it. The government has its role, but we need to keep firmly in mind the role of the government, and the role of us as individuals and as Christians on the other." - Fred Thompson



All of our uncertainties about nutrition should not obscure the plain fact that the chronic diseases that now kill most of us can be traced directly to the industrialization of our food: the rise of highly processed foods and refined grains; the use of chemicals to raise plants and animals in huge monocultures; the superabundance of cheap calories of sugar and fat produced by modern agriculture; and the narrowing of the biological diversity of the human diet to a tiny handful of staple crops, notably wheat, corn, and soy. - Michael Pollan, In Defense of Food



A Christian imagination does not see the world as a prison from which the soul must escape, but as the stage of humanity's interaction with its God.



"The Son of God suffered unto death, not that men might not suffer, but that their sufferings might be like his."
- George MacDonald

games, file folder games

Posted in File Folder Games

A lot of the file folder games I've found online are very preschool based.  Very simple skills.  Which is nice, for preschool, but now that I'm starting to move towards actual subjects, is frustrating.  So I've been searching the internet for games that I can put into a file folder game, that is science, history, geography, or bible based.  I've come across some ideas, so I'm going to be making some today.  I'll post pictures in a day or two when I'm done.  But here is a bunch of links to various ideas, and some ideas that I'm going to use.  

Printable manipulatives resources  I'm going to use the rulers for a measuring game, I think
Blank Clock I saved this to my computer and then resized it to use in a FFG
Clock Rummy
A lot of teacher created games
Telling Time Worksheets
A LOT of math worksheets, games, ideas
free good Bible maps  I'm going to make an Egypt/Exodus game with the Exodus map
Games for Learning
tips, techniques, and ideas for making games
59 different games, different ages
game boards

I found your website - because I liked the name. :-) And I love that you've shared with us the finds you have come across. I have 4 kids - 7yr, 6 yrs & 2 yrs & 6mos. So I need to find things that are for the older kids - and then I'll need to find things for the younger one, too. Thanks so much for sharing!!!

I will check out some of these links - though my kids have never really been too excited about games. :-)

Hey, I tagged you with the homeschool resources tag that is going around. You can see it on my blog. Hope you will feel like doing it...

My daughter is moving out of the preschool file folders too! We started lapbooking, I'm not sure if you've heard of them, but it's a great way to include different subjects that are centered around a theme. You can check out some of the one's we've done on my blog

There's lots of links on the end of this post too

http://christianpreschoolprintables.com/blog1/2007/11/19/little-laplinks-november-pligrims/

Maybe this will give you some fun ideas for your folders? We're also starting up a new site called http://www.LapbookLessons.com if your interested!

Hope that helps a bit!

In Christ,

Valerie
