February's Book of the Month

February's Book

The Courage Of Sarah Noble
by Alice Dalgliesh

This book illustrates the beautiful story of Sarah Noble, a young girl who goes on a journey with her father. The story is set in 1707 and is a great literature selection to accompany an early American unit study. Learn about what life was like for early pioneers, meet Indians, and learn the valuable lessons of courage and faith. This book can be read alone by students grade 3 and up. For younger students you can use it as a read aloud.

My third grade daughter really enjoyed reading this book. She got deeply involved with the main character, Sarah Noble. A very easy chapter book for young students to read.

Highly recommended!

Thoughtful Thursdays

Thoughtful Thursdays has moved to this location:

http://homeschoolingwithtwo.blogspot.com/search/label/Thoughtful%20Thursdays


I separated my website blog from my personal homeschooling blog in an attempt to become more organized.

Thoughtful Thursdays is now at my homeschooling blog. This blog is now solely for news and happenings at my website Homeschool Notebooking.com

January's Book of the Month

NIrV Discover's Bible
For young readers

This bible is for grades 2-3 and up.

This bible is the one my third grade daughter uses for her bible reading. It is very easy to understand, and looses no content in its translation. I have actually enjoyed reading this bible during my personal bible reading time. I also bought one for my mom for Christmas because she has a hard time understanding the Bible. She LOVES reading from this book. I prefer it to the Living Bible translation. It has shorter sentences that makes reading easier for young readers, or anyone who has a hard time understanding the bible. I highly recommend adding this bible. Not only will your children enjoy reading from it, but mom's and dad's will as well.

Let the Blogging begin again

Wow! I haven't posted anything here in almost a month. It wasn't planned, but somewhere during this Christmas season I decided I wasn't going to get on the computer...unless it was a necessity. With all the extra things to do over the holidays I decided to spend all of my extra time with my kids, watching movies and football games that I normally wouldn't watch, playing board games, and just being with them.

I even took a break from my Thoughtful Thursdays Meme. I will be starting back with my entries this coming Thursday.

But now that it's all over and things seem to be getting back to normal...Let the blogs begin again!

My favorite gifts I got for Christmas are comfy blue house shoes and a NY Giants sweat shirt with a hood.

School will be starting back for us on January 5th. I will be spending the remainder of this week getting my school planner organized and getting lesson plans ready to go. I have enjoyed our 3 week vacation, but I think we are all ready to jump back into our lessons. We have a lot of fun things planned for the remainder of the year and I can't wait to share them with you along the way!

Perfect to use while doing an American History unit study or to read around Thanksgiving time. This is a living book that will make Squanto and his times truly come alive for your children. I promise that You will fall in love with this book.

November's book of the month

"A Child's Book Of Character Building"


By: Ron and Rebekah Coriell







This is such a powerful book to teach young children about character traits such as Attentiveness, faith, creativity, diligence, patience, contentment, obedience, wisdom, tenderheartedness, thankfulness, honesty, and joyfulness.

Each character trait has 4 stories to illustrate it. One story each for: the bible, home, school, and play. The stories are very easy to understand and they would complement your bible study nicely.

My children are 7 & 9 and this is the one book that they beg me to read. After you finish this book, there are more volumes to follow up with. This is a must have!

October's book of the month

"Day by Day Devotions"

By Karyn Henely










This little devotional is Perfect for young children. I have bought a few in the past only to find out they were a little over my kids heads. This devotional only takes 5 minutes, so you can use it even if you are pressed for time. It has a weekly theme for all five days of the week. Some of them include: God is always in control; we were made for God; God is trustworthy. My kids absolutely love this book. It is even easy enough for older kids to read aloud. My 9 yr. old begs to read it every morning
to me and her younger brother.

All around this is a great devotional and I highly recommend it!

September's Book of the month

"Journey Into Power"

By Barron Baptiste


This book totally changed my life FOREVER. I read it the first time 4 years ago and since then I have read it two more times.

I encourage every woman who has even thought about doing yoga to read this book. It covers more than just yoga poses...it cuts into your very soul and teaches you how to see inside yourself. It is not a self help book. Barron is very spiritual and refers to the teachings of Jesus several times. What ever religion you are, I promise that this book will bring you closer in your walk with the Lord. I never thought that this book would touch my life in the way that it did. Please, Please read this book.

August's book of the month

Shel Silverstein's "The Giving Tree"

If you haven't read this to your kid yet, what's wrong with you? Children of all ages will love this book, even us moms too! Try reading it your kids while snuggled up in bed, and use this as an opportunity to talk with them about what giving really means. This also makes a great story for little ones to model from while creating their own story about a "giving cat, or giving dog etc...or let them do a notebooking page about a person or animal that gives to them in their lives. The moral of the story is that true giving doesn't require anything back in return. Try letting them notebook about someone they could give to without expecting anything in return from. You could also take this time and do a mini unit study on trees and the things they give to us. Use your imagination and have fun!

I have created a mini Unit study and notebooking pages set which comes with: book report sheets,lesson plans and much more for this book...you can purchase this package here at my website
