The homeschool Village : The boys' favorite Books

So this week The homeschool Village is asking what is your child's favourite book.

I was surprised when I asked my 6 year old what his favorite book was, to hear him say Charlotte's Web. I believe it is because he is reading it now and really enjoying it.

When I ask him why he said because he likes it. Can't beat that!

Now, I expected him to say Thomas the Tank Engine, or Thomas and Friends. So, when I asked him how come he did not answer that, he said: "well, it is both.".

I still think it is Thomas' books his favourite, considering that, if given the choice, that is what we would read every nights.

Since we gave Zach a little train set when he was 3 (which was not even a Thomas thing) he has been obsessed with trains, and then came Thomas the Tank Engine into the picture, and they fell in love. Look at his own collection.

He's read these over and over, and probably also read more that 90% of the Library's own collection.

I did ask him why he loves Thomas' books and he said " Because I like trains." Pretty straight forward.

For Joho, his answer was Curious George, Go, Diego Go, Cam Jansen and Winnie the Pooh. He is 4 so he has a hard time putting one above the others. It all depends on the moment.

Make sure to check other's favorite by visiting The Homeschooling Village.

My oldest loved Thomas when he was younger and now my youngest has taken his place. They both love looking at trains. Especially the old steam engine type!

Reformation Day Giveaway

We are approaching October 31, which is an important date for all protestants. This date commemorates Martin Luther’s nailing of his ninety-five theses to a church door on October 31, 1517 in Wittenburg, Germany, which in turn provoked a debate that resulted in what we now call the Protestant Reformation. As the “Father of the Reformation”, Martin Luther is a vital figure in Church History. His sacrifice and willingness to wage battle against the spiritual, religious, and political powers of his medieval world allowed Christians throughout time to embrace the following truths: salvation by grace alone , through faith alone, and in Christ alone, along with the supremacy of Scripture, referred to as Scripture alone, and all of it for God's Glory Alone. These being commonly called the Five Solas of the Reformation. Danika Cooley, author and creator of the Bible curriculum Bible Road Trip , has recently written a book for young people recounting Luther's sto...

Our Current Homeschool Routine - Virtual Homeschool Fair - Week 2

For week 2 of the Virtual Homeschool Fair, which is hosted by Homeschooling Hearts and Minds , we are talking method of homeschooling. When it comes to the how of homeschooling, and the method that we all follow, with the 20 plus blogger participating I can guarantee you, no method will be the same. Homeschooling is a lifestyle and a path unto a goal or toward a direction that each family sets for itself. For us, this encompasses academic rigor, as well as Christian values and depth of understanding of how to live in this world as Christians. To that end, earlier on we had settled on a classical education. 10 years into it, I cannot say we have been very good classical homeshooler. We did not follow the method and philosophy to a T but instead adapted it to our family's routine and rhythm. We became more relaxed classical homeschooler. I had good intentions with the Latin and Greek, but not enough discipline and it did not appeal to the boys; my oldest son did two years, the...

When Lightning Struck - A Book review

Are you studying the Reformation? Do you love Historical Fictions? Do you love reading about the heros of the faith? Then read on... As a homeschooler I always encourage my fellow homeschoolers to include Historical fictions in their study of History as it helps students really enter the time period that they are studying and get a better picture of how people lived and what they felt. I recently had the privilege of reading a historical fiction titled When Lightning Struck: The Story of Martin Luther . If you have never heard of Martin Luther or read anything about him, you are missing out and here is your chance to learn who he was and what he did in an enjoyable way. When Lightning Struck is written for Middle and High schooler, but I could not put it down. If you love reading you will devourer this book. It would also work really well as a read-aloud for upper-elementary kids. It contains 23 chapters of average length that will keep you wanting to know more. When Lightni...
