Using Church Magazines


 

The church magazines are such a wonderful resource.  You only need to flip through the pages and you will see they are a wealth of information.  After some pondering, I felt inspired to create a resource for our family and other homeschool families using the church magazines.  Using my Arts of a Balanced Home Education as a guide you will find suggestions below for two age groups (3 - 11 years and 12 - 18 years). 

A very big thank you to all the wonderful ladies who have helped (and are still helping) me with this project.  This is a work in progress and more suggestions are still to come.  http://groups.yahoo.com/group/church_magazine_project/



Learning with the Friend
Ages 3 - 11
created by Katrina Lybbert

For 3 - 11 year olds you can use "Learning with the Friend" as a guide for 12 weeks of homeschooling.  You can use this as a "complete" curriculum or pick and choose subject areas to add to your other personal curriculum choices.  Whether you need a break from your regular routine, an inexpensive way to homeschool, or new ideas, there is something here for everyone.
