Bible Work in Homeschooling

Bible study is so important in our daily lives. If we want to get to know our Creator, we have to read His book. We also want our children to read their Bible so that they can grow in their relationship with the Lord. For children who go to public school, this has to be a separate time from their school work. Public schools don’t have Bible class, so this is something that they have to do

Can Children Study the Bible Verse-by-Verse?

I feel that it is important for children to study the Bible. Each time a child goes to a Sunday School class or is read a book about the Bible, they are learning about it. But are they studying it?

Do you have anything that you put away for a “special” day? While unpacking my Christmas decorations, I pulled out my candles and starting putting them on the table and around the house.

by

We are officially in our 2nd year of homeschooling now. I have a 2nd grade boy and a 2 year old boy.

You see, last year, my youngest took morning naps. This year he doesn’t take naps in the morning, which means
