Bible-- E and A have been busy memorizing the 10 commandments and the books of the old testament. We use games, cards, music and daily recitation to learn these biblical elements. We are also reading Little Visits with God. E has been keeping a personal journal and reading Light for Your Path for her daily devotions.

I'm going to have to look into the math boards. I've never seen these before. I love seeing new resources.

I always love seeing your wonderful hands-on work! The 10 Commandments game and books of the Old Testament work look great - as do all your activities!

I just saw the amazing math games. Could you post a link where they come from. My email is Karing4mykids at gmail dot com. Thanks
Oh you have so many fun activities for learning! Love the 10 commandments game. We did a 10 commandment study last year too! Do your kids listen to the Go Fish Guys? They have a 10 Commandment song that is pretty fun and helps them memorize. Thanks for sharing all the great activities! Stopping by from Preschool Corner.
Yes to Go Fish! and B.I.B.L.E.
