Catholic Bible Study resources

We are waiting until we move so sign up for Pius Media, the "Catholic Netflix". I have looked at Ascension Press materials from afar before and would like to see them before I buy them.

Teacher "in service" and familyschooling

We love well-illustrated books. The LovetoLearn blog has been spotlighting a picture book of the week, and this book, published by National Geographic, is high on my list to purchase. It is just the type of book good for what many hschoolers call familyschooling which can mean, among other things, that parents are enjoying and working hard to educate, at home, several children of varying ages. When a topic can be covered at varying levels for varying ages, this is so fun and enriching. Families who love to learn and have their children in school do this too(...really all good families do this...).

So, I am making some notes today, and cleaning off my bulletin board and white board to get ready for some beautiful, monthly plans for February, as well as try to give some direction to our family history studies. I am going to read the section in Christ and the Americas on the Louisiana Purchase. I just printed this out over at Unity of Truth for some snowflake science this week. We are reading about the Apostle Paul to honor the Year of St. Paul.

Here are some books from our home library to read, discuss and write/draw about this week: Saint Paul, the Apostle by Fr. Lovasik (HRM read to J), The First Christians: The Acts of the Apostles for Children by Marigold Hunt(assign to JB). Schedule a time for a chapter out of year 2 and 5 of Faith and Life. Hopefully, we can make it to the St. Paul study at the parish Wednesday morning since we do not have a Challenge meeting this week.
