PEACEFUL's upcoming year.... Kindergarten

Along with our family studies, Peaceful will be working with her workboxes. She will have 12 boxes to complete through the day. Most are fun and games, with these included throughout. I also might try to incorporate five in a row, maybe with Valiant and Peaceful together, we will see... if I feel I can add one more thing to my teaching schedule or not!

MATH~ Peaceful is working with Rod and Staff Math.

PHONICS~ She is using Rod and Staff Phonics, we call them the green books. Along with that we are using the Abeka Sounds and Letters K. Peaceful, loves to color and do "busy work" so I am using that, with her for now!

HANDWRITING~ Peaceful is using a reason for handwriting K. This is one of my favorite parts of this curriculum. She learns each letter individually. Then there is an animal we discuss for each letter, and she colors it. The A's have enjoyed keeping these, as animal notebooks!

BIBLE/COLORING/BREAK TIME!!!~ We have used the Abeka Bible Friends for my last 3 A's. It has been a fun break time for them.

READING~ Peaceful has been reading for about 6 months. We simply choose a book for all the beginning readers we have around here, and she reads to me.

Sugar, oh sugar!!!

okay so as i have stated, we don't eat sugar. This being said, we do eat natural cane {also known as turbinado} sugar, honey, stevia and agava. I do try to limit this. I figure to some degree sugar is sugar, and not good, even in it's natural state. I don't want to get into a "sugar fight" with anyone! So all I am going to say, is it's quite common knowledge that sugar isn't good for you. I am a sugar lover! Always have been, I'm sure. I have a very, very, very sweet tooth. Sugar was hard for me to give up. Which is why I am so thankful for so many natural sweeteners! The reason we stopped, was knowledge, we started studying sugar, and learning about it, and we had to stop. As for our family, we had to give it up all or nothing, we are a cold turkey kind of family!!! We have tried to give up sugar, oh I don't know around 100 times!!! This time it finally stuck. The more I read, the more I study the more I am so thankful for that decision. So how di

Homemade bread for our large family

making bread has been a huge part of my life as a mother... here’s the problem, don’t start making homemade bread, unless you plan on doing it forever!!! Once you eat homemade bread, it’s didficult to eat store brought breads!!! Even some of the nicest, most expensive, they just seem so dry and bland. That being said, I can make all our bread for our family of 11 (currently in the house) in about 15 minutes! (Not including the rise and bake time) I usually make it on the weekend, and then again around Wednesday or Thursday each week. Whenever I make it, I incorporate it into our dinner that night. Usually making 3 or 4 loaves of bread and 1 pan of rolls- for dinner. You see if you don’t do that, you’ll end up eating all of it the first night, right!!! No one can resist hot, fresh, homemade bread- especially with melted butter!!! 💖 So here’s the recipe, I know you’re all dying to have! This should make about 5 loaves of bread, or a mix of bread and rolls 6 cu
