Mosaics-by-Number Wooden Butterfly Wall Art

My daughter loves doing mosaics, she completed the mosaics castle a few months ago, and this past week completed another one - a butterfly. This one was very nice and wooden and she gave it to a family as a gift. You had to match the color/shape by number and it was for her small fingers because I couldn't seem to manage the pieces!

Medieval Castle With Mosaics

We bought this awesome model of a Medieval Castle and my husband and daughter put it together. I loved how we have a model of a castle now and she also learned about mosaics at the same time! Here it is during the progress:

Here is the completed castle and figurines:

Autumn Mobile

We have a Scholastic book of Autumn crafts for the classroom and one of them was this mobile. I printed it out on cardstock and then K colored it and cut it out and its now hanging in the corner of our homeschool room.

Ashurbanipal Paper Doll

I told in another post about Famous Figures of Ancient Times paper dolls. We finally got around to making one and we did Ashurbanipal. I laminated it and then K cut out most of it and I put it together with the paper fasteners. K loved it and played with him a lot and wants to do more. The best part about these is that if you laminate them, they can be used for review of history. We plan on doing them all and then ordering the next set for Medieval Times.

We did chapter 1 of Story of the World 2 this week and Friday is reserved for all our projects and crafts. The project we chose this week to do for history was making a Roman signum or standard.

Famous Figures of Ancient Times

I came across these Famous Figures of Ancient Times on Peace Hill Press' website and knew my daughter would love them! We ordered them and she can't wait to put them together. They are very good quality and well worth the money. You can purchase them on Amazon right now for $13.57. You get a colored version of the figure and then a black & white version as well.

Figures in Motion is currently working on more of these figures/dolls for Mediavel Times and American History.

Quotes

"If you take your children to Caesar for their education, you need to stop being surprised when they come home as Romans" - Voddie Bauchman

"Too many parents who would never send their children to a church on Sunday that taught doctrines they believed to be wrong, have had no problem placing them in state schools five days a week where they are taught conflicting doctrines and ideas." - Cal Thomas

“I believe it would be much better for everyone if children were given their start in education at home. No one understands a child as well as his mother, and children are so different that they need individual training and study. A teacher with a room full of pupils cannot do this. At home, too, they are in their mother’s care. She can keep them from learning immoral things from other children.” ~Laura Ingalls Wilder

“Schools have not necessarily much to do with education... they are mainly institutions of control, where basic habits must be inculcated in the young. Education is quite different and has little place in school.” ~Winston Churchill

"Let it be remembered, that I do not speak to the wild, giddy, thoughtless world, but to those that fear God. I ask, then, for what end do you send you children to school? “Why, that they may be fit to live in the world.” In which world do you mean, — this or the next? Perhaps you thought of this world only; and had forgot that there is a world to come; yea, and one that will last for ever! Pray take this into your account, and send them to such masters as will keep it always before their eyes. Otherwise, to send them to school (permit me to speak plainly) is little better than sending them to the devil. At all events, then, send your boys, if you have any concern for their souls, not to any of the large public schools, (for they are nurseries of all manner of wickedness,) but private school, kept by some pious man, who endeavors to instruct a small number of children in religion and learning together." - John Wesley

"I am commanded to bring my children up in the nurture and instruction of the Lord (Eph. 6:4), and to do so by teaching them God’s statutes when I sit in my house, when I lie down, when I rise up, and when I walk along the way (Deut. 6:7). I am also admonished not to place myself, or by extension my children, under false teaching (Col. 2:8), or to expose them to teaching that undermines God’s Law (Matt. 5:17-20)." - Voddie Bauchman

"God has designed your family—not the youth group, not the children’s ministry, not the Christian school, but your family—as the principle discipling agent in your children’s lives." - Voddie Bauchman

“I am sure as I am of the fact of Christ’s reign that a comprehensive and centralized system of national education, separated from religion, as is now commonly proposed, will prove the most appalling engine for the propagation of anti-Christian and atheistic unbelief, and anti-social nihilistic ethics, individual, social and political, which this sin-rent world has ever seen”. – Dr. Archibald Alexander Hodge (1823-1886), Chair of Systematic Theology, Old Princeton Seminary

“Education ought everywhere to be religious education… parents arte bound to employ no instructors who will not instruct their children religiously. To commit our children to the care of irreligious people is to commit lambs to the superintendent of wolves”. ~Timothy Dwight; President of Yale University from 1795-1817

SECULARISM is a philosophy that claims that there is no God-or that if there is a God, He is irrelevant. HUMANISM essentially says that in the absence of God, humans can and should act as gods by judging, choosing, and defining what is right for themselves. The philosophy pervading the public education system combines these two philosophies into one.-Ken Ham

Remember, you are not managing an inconvenience; You are raising a human being. -Kittie Franz
