The boys have enjoyed many games of Bunker Hill Chess this spring. They enjoy pitting the Americans against the British and fighting it out.
You can almost hear the cannons booming!

An Honest Look at Anger
Children's Catechism
Our young children are working on their catechism memory. Three year old Cal has learned the first 9 questions, and 6 year old Colin has learned the first 25 questions. Our older children are working on the Shorter Catechism. It doesn't take a lot of time to do this with them, and the training in basic theology is so valuable!

The Jesus Storybook Bible: Every Story Whispers His Name By Sally Lloyd-Jones / Zonderkidz The Jesus Storybook Bible tells the story beneath all the stories in the Bible. At the center of the story is a baby, the child upon whom everything will depend. Every story whispers his name. From Noah to Moses to the great King David--every story points to him. He is like the missing piece in a puzzle--the piece that makes all the other pieces fit together. From the Old Testament through the New Testament, as the story unfolds, children will pick up the clues and piece together the puzzle. A Bible like no other, this book invites children to join in the greatest of all adventures, to discover for themselves that Jesus is at the center of God's great story of salvation--and at the center of their story too. Recommended for ages 4 to 8. |

God's Design for Heaven & Earth: Three Student Manuals Set plus Teacher Supplement & CD By Answers In Genesis The biblically based "Gods Design for Heaven & Earth" series was designed by homeschoolers for homeschoolers! This four-book set includes the student books "Our Planet Earth", "Our Universe" and "Our Weather & Water", as well as the teacher's supplement with student supplement CD-ROM. Now designed for grades 1-8, full-color photos, diagrams, illustrations, special features and fun facts take the tediousness out of science, while key concepts are continually reinforced and explored through chapter review and activities. Color-coded by age group, chapter reviews are separated for 1st-2nd grade, 3rd-5th grade, and 6th-8th grade students to quickly find their assignments, all of which are conveniently located together. This easy-to-use curriculum is ideal for anyone who wants to teach earth & space science from a young-earth, creationist point of view. This set features all three student books in the "Gods Design for Heaven & Earth Series"; each contains 35 lessons with one final project to merge all the lessons together. At the pace of 3 lessons a week (approximately 30-45 minutes each), you can cover this 3-book series within a year. Books feature partially reproducible pages, softcover with glossary and index. Grades 1-8. NKJV Scripture used. The included teacher's supplement is organized by book and unit number, with each unit including a supply list and answers for all three levels of chapter review questions, as well as any applicable activity information. Quiz answers, a master supply list, and a resource guide are also included. The included student supplement CD-ROM features student worksheets and quizzes that may be printed off to supplement student learning. This Third Edition features many improvements! Here are some of the updated changes made to this series: |

To Bethlehem Game: The Christmas Game for the Entire Family Finally, a fun game to sit down and play 'round the Christmas tree! Be the first to reach the Newborn King...but beware, there'll be expenses along the way! Each player starts out with 5 shekels, and has to navigate around "Trader Moe's Camel Parking" and complete numerous zany tasks as they attempt to make their way to Bethlehem. With a number of fun options, and over 70 ancient Roman plastic coins to play with, this is one game your kids might beg to play year-round! |
