Homeschool Memoirs: #4 Something New

I was excited to find how many homeschoolers, this past week, were motivated to get their schedules in order and had fun doing it. Last week’s theme blessed me in two definite ways… I got to see how others plan out their days and was able to help others in their planning. I hope you were also blessed in these ways and more!

THEME

Planning your homeschool is a lot of fun, especially if you’re going to be trying something new. Just like finding a shiny new penny you’re excited to use it. Mother Dear has been planning some new curriculum for us, and I am plenty excited to get started on it. This week I hope you’ll share something new you’re using, why you’ve decided to use it, and if you have used it how you like it. Make sure to include the publishing information and where you got it from so others can look into if they like.

Make sure you enter in your DIRECT link to your HM post and not just your blog link. When others go back to look over the themes they will be able to go directly to your post rather than just your front page.

MY THEME

I’ve mentioned previously one thing I am looking forward to that is new this year is lapbooking… inexpensive scrapbooking with learning. I enjoy scrapbooking quite a bit and I am very artsy so I think I will enjoy it. However, the “something new” I’m doing this year is “Unlocking The Mysteries Of Creation” by Dennis R. Petersen. A few weeks ago Mother Dear found a video, online, about creationism by Dr. Kent Hovind. You can watch the entire 15hour seminar online, and so I have watched 5 out of 7 videos over the past few weeks and learned so much history, science, the opposing beliefs – Evolution & Creationism – and Bible study. It’s really been educational.

Mother Dear decided that I should look over the Mysteries of Creation book and put together a “class” to do for everyone else this year. I’m not sure I will be a very good teacher, but I’m going to be looking through it and see what I can come up with. I know it will prove to be very beneficial.
