Our Weekly Wrap-Up

Oct. 19 - Oct. 28
Visiting Family:
We spent Thursday evening through Sunday morning with my husband's family. They live in another state.

J4 had an eventful Friday evening that included a trip to the Urgent Care Clinic. Thankfully, Saturday and Sunday passed without any further trauma!

Saturday afternoon the kids, Daddy, their cousins and a few of the dogs played football! Many times throughout our stay we'd make our way out to the old farm and explore the pond. They have two, but one is not easily accessible and we've only explored it a handful of times. The little (and big) ones found tadpoles and lots of interesting rocks and wildflowers around the first pond. (pic. 2)Saturday night we enjoy a nice big bonfire and roasted hotdogs and huge marshmallows courtesy of Aunt W.  (pic. 3)We also tried a new recipe I had read about somewhere, but I'm not sure where - s'mores with Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. They were so good! (pic. 4)The kids helped gather wood for the bonfire and (pic. 1) C8 made a comfy spot for all of her favorite animals (the ones she brings on every out of town trip) and they attended the night's festivities with the family. C8 made sure to play a few piano pieces before our trip ended. PaPaw joined in on guitar during Away in a Manger, too! I love being apart of a musical family.

C8 spent a couple of hours on Tuesday  learning to sign The Revelation Song. C8 took an ASL class last semester with a wonderful teacher, Ms. A in our co-op. They learned two worship songs ~C8 had never used ASL with worship before~ and performed them in front of our whole co-op. It was beautiful and brought me to joyful, spirit-filled tears.

C8 loves Jesus so much and it shows through her worship, which now incorporates ASL. Watching her worship is touching and draws you into a deeper, more intimate worship experience with Jesus.

There's more to this story. I'm going to need to save it for later in the week, though! (Update:Here's the link!)

*I have to thank Mrs. D, Ms. A and the rest of their beautiful family for having us over Tuesday afternoon for lunch, too. Ms. A is a talented young lady and we were so sad to hear they are moving in less than a month...

Field Trip Highlights:
I've been wanting to hear authentic Uncle Remus storytelling for years! Finally, we went to the Wren's Nest on Friday with a few others from our homeschool group. We learned more about the wonderful Uncle Remus stories, how they came about and the man who put them down on paper, Joel Chandler Harris. We toured his home (with the best tour guide ever, 80 year old Nana!) and heard a fabulous storyteller retell a few of these classic stories.

Once home we read at least an hours worth of tales from The Favorite Uncle Remus a book we bought at the Wren's Nest gift shop - for much more than the Amazon price... It's written in the original dialect, but if you're from the deep south, you shouldn't have much trouble reading it. Though I could read it aloud and understand it, there were many times the kids still needed the meaning translated.

Book Highlight:
There is one new read aloud that I must mention from a twitter friend, Timothy Davis' Sea Cutter: Book I in The Chronicles of Nathaniel Childe. I had bought the ebook several months earlier from Amazon. I began reading it late one night and absolutely loved it! I finished it the next evening. At that time, I thought the kids might not be ready for a rather intense and suspenseful adventure drama.

Sea Cutter was recently released in paperback and the kids received a gorgeous signed copy Saturday from Mr. Davis. He hasn't asked me to review it, but it is so wonderful I just have to. I hope to do that in the next few weeks. Let me just say that C8 wouldn't let me stop reading that day until the very last word was read! Thankfully, we didn't have anything going on Saturday afternoon and we just spent hours reading Sea Cutter to the very end! There are subtle Christian undertones throughout that the kids and I appreciated, too. This is just a small little bit of highlights from this week, but some of our very favorites!

Mom, I Want to See the Metal Bars in My Head!

Here we are again, less than a month later, with another injury.
My Grandmother P. tells me it's normal. It's the way boys are in our family :-/ Constantly, at least one of her four boys (my dad included) had stitches or were "glued"- she and Poppy would just glue their cuts at home. I talked to her for nearly an hour today; it's her birthday. I love talking to my grandmother.

This time, J4 and R6 were playing at their grandparents' house, in another state. J4 tripped on a pillow that was in the floor, and the back of his noggin caught the corner of an end table. His grandma and I took him to the bathroom and cleaned his little wound. It definitely needed closing by a professional...

I looked outside and discovered our van missing. Daddy had taken it to a nearby town with PaPaw and Aunt W. I began to panic just a little. I needed his carseat! How in the world was I going to take him to Urgent Care 25 minutes away without a carseat?! I tried calling Daddy. He didn't answer. I sent Daddy a text. Still no answer. What was I going to do?!

Daddy finally called about two minutes later. He told me he took the car seat out because it rattles uncontrollably if J4 isn't sitting in it! Yippee for a rattly car seat!! I found where he had placed it and off we went in MaMaw's van. (Poor MaMaw hated for us to go alone. I promised her we would be fine. We are used to having to do things on our own since we live away from family and it would be a huge help to me for her to stay with the older kids. They wanted to spend time with her and their other cousin.)

On the way to get his little noggin taken care of, J4 began to cry uncontrollably. He wanted to go back to MaMaw's house and play. He did not want spend his precious time at Urgent Care getting stitches! He didn't want to miss his cousin S.'s football game that night either! I promised him a milkshake and he began to calm just down a little bit.

Daddy, PaPaw and Aunt W. were in the town we were heading to and were able to swing by Urgent Care and get the paper work started for us. AND most importantly, grab the milkshake too! The milkshake made everything better!!

Aunt W. was super sweet and decided to keep us company while we waited. She is so good with little ones. I was happy to have the sweet company, too. Love, love, Aunt W.

Once in the room little bit talked the ears off his nurse, the doctor and the Nurse Practitioner. He was so cute and extremely smart. He told everyone about his last set of stitches and how he hurt himself - both times. I should also point out that J4's daddy is extremely smart and has had multiple stitches and staples, too....

He saw the staple gun and started smiling really big. He thought it was so cool that a "gun" was going to be used to staple his cut noggin.

During the procedure, he was very calm. The first set of staples had to be taken out and replaced. They were a little too tight. It didn't phase J4. He kept right on asking questions the whole time.

As soon as they finished he said, "Mom, I want to see the metal bars in my head." I took a picture with my camera and immediately showed him. He wore his three staples proudly.

We were able to meet the family at the football game while it was still in the first quarter. Little stinker made friends a few years older than himself and wanted to play football in the grass with them. YIKES!

It was cold, and I needed to get some ibuprofen just in case he started hurting later. So, in the fourth quarter we scooted out - it was nearly 11:00 our time anyway. Plus, I really didn't want him playing football with fresh staples...

What a way to start a weekend at the grandparents!

Nature Study, Field Trips and Family and Friends

Oct. 6th - 14th (Saturday - Sunday) A Week of Field Trips and Family:

Charlotte Mason encourages nature study of familiar places throughout the year. One place we've chosen for our familiar place is a nature area that is a short drive from our house. We try to go at least once a week. We will go when it's raining, when it's covered in snow (which is rare), when it's hot, when it's cold and when the weather is perfect. We will go in the morning, afternoon and evening too.  It's good to make observations about the seasons and weather at a familiar place.

In R6's new language arts program we are reviewing, IEW's PAL, we are studying a poem that has a reference to purple asters. So, on this particular nature walk, we were specifically looking for purple asters.

We took two field trips with our homeschool group this week.
The first was a tour of our local police and fire department. We learned some great details about a policeman and fireman's job. We toured many of they key rooms, including the courtroom in the police department and the living quarters in the fire department. One of the most intriguing rooms was within the police dept. It had an enormous  monitor showing more than a dozen live cameras in various places in our city. You never know when your being watched!

I assist in one of R6's co-op classes, Edible Art. We do such cute projects each week. R6 brings his knowledge home and regularly tutors his siblings on how to make art out of their food!
Below, R6 has created a caterpillar with banana slices, peanut butter, a grape and noodles for the antennae. He also created a spider using an oreo, two tiny M&M's, frosting and licorice for the legs. Buzz Lightyear made his own caterpillar after R6 gave fabulous instructions and C8 made eyes and a mouth with peanut butter on the caterpillar's grape head. I LOVE art and personal expression! On a personal note, we traded our paid-for van in on a new one. (The old one was having a few issues.) It's amazing how technology has changed in the last five years! Although it's not fun having payments again, we are loving our new ride.

Near the end of the week, my mom drove up to visit and join us for our last field trip of the week. We attended Disney On Ice's Rockin' Ever After show. It was nice to share this memory with my precious mom. Here's one picture from the two hour performance. The next day, we took Nana to our favorite nature area. The weather was absolutely perfect. It was a great day to explore with Nana. Here's one of my favorite pictures from the day:

Sunday, Mom attended our church's 15 year birthday celebration. It was another very special day.

Oct. 15 - 19 (Monday- Friday) The Week of Friends

Making extra time for friends is so important. I'm thankful that this week has been full of friends - outside of our normal activities.

We enjoyed another field trip with our homeschool group! This time to a farm, and Daddy took a vacation day to join us! We toured the petting zoo, pumpkin patch, baby chick incubator, corn maze, took a hay ride around the farm, watched a pottery and spinning wheel demonstration, heard stories, and touched different types of fabrics. Best of all, we enjoyed our three hours at the farm with good friends! While at the pumpkin patch, we were invited over to sweet friends' house for dinner. We had the best grilled hamburgers and to top it off - the kids helped prepare our dessert ~ peach cobbler cooked in the fire pit. Our combined five kids from age 4 - 11 had the best time playing outside games the whole time! Over the four and a half hours we were there, the only time the kids sat down was to eat! ~ We are in the process of trying to plan a camping trip together, too!

The next day, we schooled normally in the morning and in the afternoon another sweet friend came over with her 2 1/2 year old and newborn.  Look what she brought for us!
We love Mrs. L and her sweet family. They are always thinking of sweet ways to bless our family.  Next week, we are taking our kids on a field trip to the Wren's Nest for a tour and story telling by the Wren's Nest Ramblers! I've been wanting to visit this place for years - mainly for the storytelling! The Brer Rabbit stories are so much fun to read! Mrs. L and I share a love for Uncle Remus tales.

The next day, we were invited over to a dear family's home to decorate potatoes for an Awana class project. We got to visit with an almost three year old, a three week old, an eight year old ~ that we took back to our house for the day and a precious mommy I've been friends with since we moved to GA.

We've had some busier than normal days the past two weeks. Below are a few of our favorite resources from a busy week:
Most of these are great programs we've been blessed to review for the Crew. They are accepting applications!
Mary at Homegrown Learners currently has a wonderful series going about read alouds.

We are currently visiting my husband's family. I think I'll save updates from this trip for next week's Highlights. If you are still with me, thanks for reading about our past two weeks.

So, this post was once again two weeks of highlights. I just can't seem to manage my time well enough to get these posted "on time." Twenty-four hours is just not a long enough day!

I'm linking this week with: Posted by Hope Homeschooling3 at 1:37 PM 12 comments: 

Review: CEB Deep Blue Kids Bible "Speak to them in their own language-every parent knows that's the best approach when trying to get a message to their kids. And when it comes to the Bible, the same reigns true: How do you engage your child in a way so that young minds find the Bible interesting?"
~ Deep Blue Kids Bible

Our family has had an opportunity to use Abington Press',  Image Flex Deep Blue Kids Bible. (There is a great 24 page sampler of Deep Blue Kids Bible here.) It's geared for children 7 - 12 years old, and has many interesting and unique features that make this study Bible stand out.

This colorful Bible has three characters, Asia, Kat and Edgar, pictured on the cover, who are our guides through the Bible.

Here's a great introductory video for the Deep Blue Kids Bible:

Deep Blue Kids Bible Experience from Common English Bible on Vimeo.

Just in case you didn't watch the above video, what makes this children's study Bible standout?

There are four types of in-text notes scattered liberally throughout:

Other features throughout the Deep Blue Kids Bible include:
Front information, after the contents page:
There are many Bible Exploration Tools found at the back of the Deep Blue Bible:

How we've used the Deep Blue Kids Bible: We used the Deep Blue Bible during our curriculum based Bible study time. We also studied the book of Philippians using the Deep Blue Bible. ~ This is the book my husband and I are studying with about 7 other couples in a small group setting.

I love the first did you know? in Philippians. It talks about Philippi being a wealthy Greek city named after Philip of Macedonia, and Philip just happens to be the father of Alexander the Great. It goes on to explain that Philippi was an important city for traders being that it was located along a road that connected Europe with the Middle East. Had I read this before my husband and I's first Bible study group, I would have known the answer to one of our first questions!

Examples of What We Like:

What We Didn't Like:

Two main goals of The Deep Blue Kids Bible are to be attractive and engaging for kids aged 7-12, and in my opinion this is supremely done. The special features are unique and are great for study and reference.

The folks at Deep Blue Kids Bible want parents to study the Bible with their children.They've created a Bible that parents will enjoy reading and studying together.

Personally, because I've found a few instances of interpretations or notes that I don't fully agree with, this will be a Bible that we will use strictly together. If there is a viewpoint that one of us questions, we can research the topic together. Like I've heard our pastor say ~ I can't remember his exact words but you can get the idea ~ "When we get to Heaven, there will be a lot of red noggins from people hitting their palm on their forehead and saying, "Oh, so that's what that meant!" Of course I'm talking about myself here, too.

On the whole, this Bible is sure to get kids engaged and studying the Bible in a fun and interactive way. I believe Abingdon Press has done a beautiful job creating the Deep Blue Kids Bible with kids and their parents in mind.

Pricing: Deep Blue Kids Bible is 1472 pages, and the suggested retail price is $26.99. It comes in five cover choices - we have the Image Flex cover.
The five cover choices include hardcover, image flex, two decotone covers and imitation leather. The Image Flex cover has held up well and has a nice sturdy yet flexible feel to it.* I just checked Amazon's price on the Image Flex and it's 17.81. Disclaimer: As part of the Schoolhouse Crew, I received the Deep Blue Kids Bible (Image Flex cover) in exchange for my honest review.

The Pilgrim Story - A Truly Unique Learning Experience We have been reviewing a truly unique online course, The Pilgrim Story, from Dayspring Christian Academy. Dayspring Christian Academy is a Principle Approach brick and mortar school located in Pennsylvania. They currently offer four online courses, three self-paced, and one live, online course.

I'd never heard of Dayspring Christian Academy and loved this description of the Principle Approach found on their website:

The Pilgrim Story was developed by Dayspring Christian Academy, which is one of 25 Principle Approach® schools in America. The Principle Approach is America’s historic, classical Christian method of education to prepare young people to be servants, scholars, and statesmen in our constitutional federal republic.  This requires developing a biblical worldview as well as excellence in character, skills, and talents.  The Principle Approach is very intentional in its purpose:  equipping young men and women to help restore the biblical foundation of America.

So, What is The Pilgrim Story?:

Well, this introductory video is a great overview of the course. It shows great samples of what the lessons actually look like. I highly recommend watching this video.

The Pilgrim Story is a self-paced, interactive online course intended to last between 30 - 45 minutes per lesson - there are 17 lessons ending with a virtual field study of Plymouth, MA. You will learn an unbelievable amount of thorough, well researched information utilizing primary sources in this course.

Narrated lessons are given in an interactive slideshow format. The graphics are fabulous and the music is engaging and exciting. The music is different from that in the above video. I would describe the course music as a bit more dramatic.

Children will assemble a notebook with professional looking note sheets, activity pages, vocabulary sheets, map activities, quote pages, essay questions and more. Parents are given access to a parent pack, which is a six page answer sheet PDF. At the end of each unit, thus far, there have been supplemental book recommendations too.

Virtual Field Trip: This lesson is a virtual field study of Plymouth, Massachusetts. Come along with my third grade class as I show you around “America’s hometown.”

How We've Used The Pilgrim Story:
We set aside our regular history lessons in order to focus on The Pilgrim Story. Although the recommended time to complete a lesson is 30 - 45 minutes, it regularly took us about an hour.

At the beginning of a lesson, there is a prompt to download and print the needed lesson sheets for the notebook in black and white - they are full color. We would do this first (the pages were very quick to download and print) and punch holes in the paper and then place them in C8's notebook. Then we would gather around the laptop, usually while sitting on the couch and watch the lessons together.

The majority of the lessons were completed by all three children. R6 enjoyed being our navigator through the program, taking turns with C8 to press the next button or choose the correct answers to a multiple choice assessment or review. They especially enjoyed taking turns clicking on the interactive activities. J4 enjoyed watching the lessons or moving around in the room while listening. I know the younger two aren't old enough to grasp all of the concepts taught, but exposing them to the content, I believe, is very good for them.

C8 completed all of the notebook pages for each lesson we've finished thus far. At times, it would take C8 more than a moment or two to fill in a blank on the note sheet. This would occasionally disrupt the flow of things and the boys would lose interest. We tossed around the idea of not having C8 complete the note sheets, so that we could just keep going through the interactive slides without stopping. She didn't like this idea. She thoroughly enjoys worksheets. Her only complaint was that the lines were sometimes not long enough to write the complete answers on, and she'd have to be creative in the margins. ~ The note sheet answers are easily found on the slides. The exact words needed are underlined and marked with a pencil icon. There was one question and answer in the first unit that was on the note sheet, but missing from the slide show. Dayspring was quick to supply the answer, but as of this posting the program hasn't been updated. Also, for more hands-on, away from the computer activities, there is at least one craft and a recipe enrichment included in future lessons that we haven't gotten to just yet.


The Pilgrim Story is $99 for around the clock access for six months. Access to the course will begin about 48 hours after purchase.


The Principle Approach used in The Pilgrim Story inspires and encourages the Christian foundation of education our family is pursuing. This course has taken us in depth and the vast majority of information presented was new to me. The Pilgrim Story takes it's facts from primary resources when available, and the "providential view of history is taught, identifying causes and effects from God’s perspective rather than man’s. The history of America and her form of government are seen as inseparable from the history of Christianity."

The quality and content is superb, and I love that most of this can be completed independently.  There are essay questions that C8 enjoyed answering out loud instead of in written form. She also needed help with some of the questions on the activity pages.

In my opinion, the price is steep for one child. It would be nice if customers could have at least two separate 6 month access codes.  Although, our younger two did attend the classes, they would get much more out of this if they were at least the recommended beginning age of third grade.

I have to say, The Pilgrim Story has been a truly awe-inspiring experience. I've been educated along with the children in the plight of the Pilgrims and their great sacrifice and allegiance to our Father. With Thanksgiving quickly approaching, this is a perfect study to enhance and enrich the knowledge you already have.

I have no doubt your older students, seventh grade or even older will thoroughly enjoy The Pilgrim Story, and so will the parents. ~ I certainly have!

We are looking forward to continuing the program until completion! Disclaimer: As a member of the Schoolhouse Review Crew, I was given a six month subscription to The Pilgrim Story in exchange for our honest review.

Classroom KinderBach iPad App Review According to KinderBach, research studies have shown that learning to play the piano "helps the development of math and language skills." So, not only are we having fun learning piano using Classroom KinderBach on the iPad the children are also increasing their intelligence, in a sense. KinderBach really is a wonderful way to learn the building blocks of music for preschoolers and early elementary students. We truly are learning to play songs and read music!

KinderBach uses lots of creative characters, stories and songs plus hands on learning to teach young children to play the piano. Video lessons are short and can be repeated if a concept needs more practice, or repeated just for the fun of it! Likewise, more than one video lesson can be completed in one day if a concept is easily grasped. You set the pace for your child.

Classroom KinderBach App has three levels with ten lessons for each level, for a total of thirty lessons. Within those thirty lessons are an introduction and four videos each. There are enough lessons to last about a year, according to KinderBach.

There are also six learning games included with the app. We've used all of the games. Even though they are geared for specific levels, we've been able to play them and have lots of fun! The children love the iPad, and this is something all three enjoy playing at random times.

Here is an introductory video to the KinderBach app for iPhone or iPad.

How are we using the KinderBach iPad app?

First, let me share a picture of what a lesson's main page looks like in the app. I think you'll be able to visualize what I will be sharing below a little easier now. I'll take you through what the first week of lessons (Level 1: Lesson 1) were like for our family. The kids and I personally love that a functional mini-keyboard, ten white keys and seven black, is located on the app.

Level 1: Lesson 1's main teaching goals are to"learn about the piano keyboard, find the two black keys,... dance with high and low music, learn about finger numbers and play a beat on fun rhythm instruments."

I never did notice using rhythm instruments in our first week of lessons. We have, however, used them a lot in future lessons.

It was developed for children ages 3 - 7 in mind. My eight year old enjoyed doing the activities along side her younger brothers, four and six. Even though she's had a year of private piano lessons and knows the activities presented so far. I think this says a lot for the program.

The Classroom KinderBach is $26.99 and available for download here. They also offer lessons online (first two weeks are free) and the DVD's are available for purchase.

Also the KinderBach App is on sale This Friday, Oct. 19th, 2012 ONLY.  The app will be discounted over 50%, down to $12.99! No code needed just the link to the Classroom KinderBach app in the App store:


Private piano lessons are not cheap. To have about a years worth of piano lessons on our iPad, for about the cost of one private lesson is fabulous! ~ Especially for a younger student.

Our private piano teacher recommends beginning thirty minute lessons around age seven. I know my 4 and 6 year olds aren't ready for 30 minute piano lessons. I absolutely love that we can get a "jump start" on lessons at home, specifically designed for preschoolers, for such a wonderful price!

The six games that are included are a great motivational factor that we've all enjoyed. (I like playing the games, too.) I don't think anyone would regret their decision to purchase the KinderBach app.

In my opinion, the iPhone would be a very small interface for the onscreen keyboard. I'm not saying it isn't possible, but I do believe the iPad is a much better choice for this app.

Also, sometimes I find myself forgetting what video lesson we should watch next. There's no way of telling within the app which lesson you left off last. I've had to remember to jot down quickly in our KinderBach notebook (a 3 ringed binder where we place all of our printouts) where we should begin next. ~ A small number of times, I've had to go back to the main menu screen and then back to the Lesson screen to get the next video to play when I tap it. The desired video always loads properly after this second attempt.

There are a couple of issues in the games feature (one game always crashing, others losing specific sounds - clearing the task bar and restarting the app have always fixed the sound issues) that I have been in contact with KinderBach about. The great news is that the developers have pinpointed the issue (Apple changed something considered standard in their code) and Kinderbach's fix has been submitted to Apple for approval. The update should be available soon!

My children are learning an amazing amount of piano knowledge with KinderBach. It keeps their attention, and they enjoy having characters to identify with during the lessons. This program is perfect for the preschool age! We love it!

Weekly Highlights

Sadly, it's been a few weeks since I've put a highlights post together. Documenting our learning and life on Homeschooling 3 is important to me, and I hope to manage my time more efficiently in the future.

Sunday's Highlights:
After church (and lunch), I took the little ones to Line Creek Nature Area. It was raining - a nice soft rain, no thunder at all. We try to never let a little bit of rain put a damper on our plans. In fact, it makes nature exploration even more of an adventure. I'm thankful for a little girl who doesn't mind getting a little dirt under her fingernails and boys that are ready for anything outside, too!
So, off we went - Dollywood Ponchos and all. (While at Dollywood on a big extended family adventure this summer, we got caught in a big thunderstorm. Dollywood made a pretty penny that day on poncho sales. We've made sure to make the most of our purchase!)
Highlights from our nature walk: lots of wildflowers, a fuzzy caterpillar, two tiny toads (if you look closely you might see the toads in the close-ups of C8 and J4) and the largest freshwater mussel we've ever found at Line Creek.  ~ and my waterproof shoes. It was soo nice to have dry feet for our entire 2 hour walk in the rain. Weekly Highlights: C8 had been making up many different stories and illustrating them on the whiteboard as she was telling them. She had the boys' undivided attention for at least forty-five minutes!

Academic Highlights: this is by no means an exhaustive list of what we are doing, but just a few of the most interesting highlights from our week
And, there you have it. Our week and favorite resources at a glance.
