A way to explain the notebooking method

There are many ideas and inspirations from the www.momdelights.com website.

Basically, if a person has the habit of encouraging the children to copy sentences, phrases, ideas, notes and so forth, then the child will be a more independent reader in no time at all.

Typically a child in the 4th level should have the ability to gather general notes from what he or she has read.  Then from those notes develop a paragraph or full page explanation of what he or she read.

Here is a way to do the note-booking method: http://momdelights.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/Charlotte-Mason-Style-Lesson-Sheets-for-the-McGuffey-Readers-and-Other-Literature.pdf

A great resource for biography introductions.....

I personally prefer to use "raw books" to get TRUTH based information about the various people from history, but to encourage a greater understanding of the people in history, a person can start with a good resource that introduces the famous people at a "child's reading" level.

Here is the website: https://gardenofpraise.com/leaders.htm

This particular website also contains various bible quizes and introductions for free!

What things to teach when teaching Astronomy/Bible Calendar?

Use and almanac and stelarium (free astronomy program on the computer) for reference.


Teach these things:

1. Teach the location of the FULL-MOON in astronomical position (this is important for understanding science and biblical-ancient ways to calculate time, which can still be accomplished today.  Kinda like people can still use a "sun-dial" to calculate time.)

2. Teach the ecliptic constellations.

3. Teach the names of the biblical months and their events.

4. Teach moon phases.

5. Teach the patterns of the first 5 visible planets
 -how many days/years does it take to rotate the sun
 -how long it takes for a planet to return to the same astronomical position and the patterns

6. Teach how the historical astronomers used the bible to determine how the planets moved in space

7. Like (1.), teach the moon rise time.  The Full-Moon rise time is the same or very close to the sun-set time!  The new-moon rise time is very close to the sun-rise time!*****If you simply CANNOT teach advanced things, DO teach this aspect!  Because it will help the children understand the truth of why Jesus was on the cross from the 6th hour to the 9th hour!

8. Teach about a sun-dial and the seasons.

9. Teach nature changes and Moon-Signs create an ancient calendar.  (ie. falling-leaves moon)

10. Any other important features as they relate to "biblical descriptions" (ie. morning star) and science descriptions (ie. how many moons does Jupiter have)

11. Biblical/Jewish/Hebrew names of the constellations and why those descriptions matter....

12. Teach about issues like axial precession, and how the astronomical position of a "full moon" will change over a period of about 26,000 years.  This CAN be divided by "seven" in biblical reference to the Qumran Calendar.

13. Teach how they calculated time in the ancient time by "night watch."  (The website gives "ideas" that the Sabbath Day isn't as important as the signs of the moon.....but I DO believe that the Sabbath Day[some issues in disliking Seventh-Day Adventist or even Messianic beliefs] remains as an important and appropriate day.....both astronomically and as the bible would like us to believe).

14. Pattern of the "direction" the tribes were facing (east, west, north, south) and the location of the ark in the tabernacle in the wilderness and how it related to the pattern of astronomy at the time. (The website gives "ideas" that the Sabbath Day isn't as important as the signs of the moon.....but I DO believe that the Sabbath Day[some issues in disliking Seventh-Day Adventist or even Messianic beliefs] remains as an important and appropriate day.....both astronomically and as the bible would like us to believe).

Ensure that your children understand that ASTRONOMY is biblical and ASTROLOGY is "mythical" or filled with lies.  Even BIBLICAL ASTROLOGY can have myth in it, so don't consider it as useful for the reasons why men do wicked things.  Men do wicked things because they do not love the WORD first.

Why are you PRO-HOMESCHOOLING??

https://www.quora.com/Why-are-you-pro-homeschooling

The link offers good perspective on this matter ;)

I might add that I am pro-homeschooling because of persecutions of tribal groups. They were FORCED to endure false-teachings from men who did not care about them in the past, and continue to show the same fruits of self-righteous endeavors into the future.

Parents were MURDERED to get the children to be a sort of "Christian" that is religion based and not gospel based.

TRUE biblical PARENTS were murdered, when they simply wanted the BIBLE to be presented to children from public-schools here in AMERICA in AMERICA's past.  This has also happened in communist or socialist countries! 

The blood of martyrs cries out!

Home Adventure Library: Overcome "gaps" in Education

If you need a "quick" way to help your children understand the "basic elements" of education, without going back and "re-doing" all the lessons they ....ummmmm well...... missed in k-3rd grade, wait until the child is about 10 years old and can read on his or her own.

Have the child READ through a children's reading encyclopedia that covers many different themes and ideas that are basic to education as a whole.  Foundational things basically.

Here is a great example:

https://www.amazon.com/Home-Adventure-Library/dp/B002HY381U/ref=sr_1_14?ie=UTF8&qid=1512059415&sr=8-14&keywords=Home+Adventure+Library


Have the child read through each story, write a few sentences about the story he or she read, and then test the child's knowledge.

Do not worry, a child, so long as they are not severely disabled CAN learn to read and understand basic education things.

The more difficult thing actually comes from teaching the child to HAVE a good attitude when it comes to the basics of life......hence, I recommend regular bible study and practice!

Note: Some of the older books and encyclopedias may contain "unproven evolutionary nonsense" or "racist ideas" or "culture misrepresentations" and so forth.  This doesn't mean the books are entirely FALSE, its just that false ideas exist.  Simply GLEAN what you believe will help the child understand the basics.
