Three in Thirty

Week Three - Encouragement

Whoa Baby, the month is just flying by!  With Thanksgiving fast approaching there seems to be so much more to do.  I am pleased (ok, really impressed with myself) that I have completed another #3in30 goal.  Yep, check another item off my list! Here's my progress so far:

Finished - typing the scriptures from the book on the favor of God (see that book here).
Finished- gathering all passwords into a secure iPad app.
In Progress/On Target- setting aside blogging time (see big comfy writing spot here)

I can think of no better way to encourage you today than to encourage you in the Lord.  I want to share my Favor Scriptures with you! I spend "Power Time" everyday confessing scriptures out loud.  It will really rev you up and get you going.  Confessing God's Word is a powerful prayer tool and a super- charge for your faith. Try it... you'll like it! :)

Twice As Nice

We have added a new curriculum to our preschool: Joyful Heart Bible And Rhyme for 3 year olds. I love this free, Bible-based program.  It includes lesson plans and craft/activity suggestions.  I am still using the Letter of The Week.  I think between the two, we are building a solid Biblical and academic foundation.

One of my favorite things about homeschooling is the flexibility to use more than one resource for teaching.  Nothing is set in stone.  I can keep what I like and disregard what's not for us. I have learned so much this year about what works for us and what doesn't.  I'm so glad that I started with preschool.  I don't feel that trial and error (and there have been tons of error) at this point is detrimental to his overall education- I mean, really... he's just three!

Now that we are using more than one curriculum, I am picking and choosing lessons between the two.  To help keep me focused, I designed my own lesson plan/worksheet. AND...I'm offering this freebie to you (go ahead, squeal if you want)!  There are so many great planners out there.  I just needed something a little more basic.  I like looking at the whole week, too.

I've included some photos of other things we've added to our class room goodies.  

Happy Homeschooling!
