July is Prep Month in the Nolette house

July 21, 2009 — Laura Nolette

I have a confession to make… I am a disorganized, undisciplined homeschool mom. Strike that. Make it, I WAS a disorganized, undisciplined homeschool mom. That was my natural bent. To put it bluntly, I am scatter-brained. I get great ideas then I get board and move on to another great idea. I love, not like, LOVE, homeschooling, computers, painting, drawing, photography, listening to music, playing music, cooking, baking, creating recipes, cross-stitch, crochet, embroidery, sewing, reading, writing, science AND math! There are probably even more things that I love to do that I’m leaving out at the moment.

The following article is reprinted with permission from Shirley & David Quine

In Acts 17 Luke records that as the Apostle Paul was walking through the streets of Athens his heart was stirred by what he saw. What would he have seen? The Temple of Zeus … Temple of Mars (Ares) … Temple of Dionsysis. Seeing these false ideas of the culture motivated Paul to speak out.

Merey’s Review: Salem Ridge Press

January 18, 2009 — Meredith Curtis

What kind of company does a homeschool graduate start? A publishing company, of course! Daniel Mills, a homeschool grad, firmly believes that what we read forms our ideas and character. As a young man, he read two very old books, At Seneca Castle and Our Fellows. After reading them, he had a strong desire to republish them. Years later, Daniel decided to do just that!

Merey’s Review All About Homophones

December 30, 2008 — Meredith Curtis

Do you remember reading about Amelia Bedelia when you were a youngster? She was hilarious. A generation later, my daughter, Jenny Rose, fell in love with the Amelia Bedelia books by Peggy Parish and Lynn Sweat. Amelia always got everything confused. When she was told to draw (close) the drapes, she got out a pencil and drew the drapes. If the list said to bring the mail in, she grabbed a male and brought him into the house. Asked to water the flowers, she poured water into the bag of flour. She got herself into one scrape after another!

Spears Art Studio K-8 & High School Art Survey Review

December 28, 2008 — Meredith Curtis

 What is it like to teach art from a Christian worldview perspective? Find out from Diane Spears, an artist, teacher, and theologian. With degrees in art, counseling, English, theology, and Christian education, she is more than qualified to write this curriculum! But, we, homeschooling moms, are more interested in having an art curriculum that is twaddle-free and WORKS with our children! From her years in a classroom teaching art, her assignments are easy to use for Mom and fun to do for the children.
