Free Friday: Answers In Genesis - Dinosaurs, Genesis and The Gospel

I do not know if you have heard but atheists have been attacking a small Christian school in South Carolina because of a quiz that was given to the students based off of the Answers in Genesis curriculum Dinosaurs, Genesis, and the Gospel.  That is right, atheists seem to be outraged over the fact that a Christian school would teach a Christian world view about the creation of the world.  You can read the whole story at their blog Intolerant Atheists Viciously Attack Christian School.

To battle this attack Answers in Genesis has decided to challenge us all to take the quiz!  Families: Let's Use the Recent Atheist Attack to Teach More Kids the Truth explains a bit more about the story and offers the challenge of taking the quiz.  However, instead of just giving us the quiz to take they are offering some of their resources FREE for a limited time so we can actually teach what is on the test!  You can get the following for no charge:
  1. View the children’s video Dinosaurs, Genesis, and the Gospel for free via video stream on the web.
  2. Download the high-resolution digital video to your computer hard drive—free until July 31
  3. Download a free PDF of the booklet on dinosaurs.
  4. Download the actual science quiz, also at no charge.
You can access this by clicking the link on the image below.  The information is in that blog.  Read it, learn about it, and then take the challenge and let's get out there and teach it so that even more kids can learn the truth about creation!

Printable Family Chore Chart

Image
You know chore charts are not just for children.  As I have been struggling trying to keep the house work up among all my summer activities, homeschooling projects, exercise, blogging, church activities and other every day life events I realized that I needed a hand.  Since Gess is getting older and taking on more responsibility I though it was a good time to put some order into her routine of helping.  Then Chelsie gave me a great idea that she uses.  By breaking up my weekly chores into daily tasks I don't have to give up an entire day to nothing but cleaning house! Taking her idea and breaking up the daily chores I came up with the following list.  There is one for each of us and an extra one that goes beyond the standard chores.  It's the stuff we do at least once a week to keep our house neat and clean.  What I love about it is that if something happens on that one day I had set aside to clean the house, it doesn't mean that my entire house gets neglected for anothe

Computer Time: Starfall.com

One thing my daughter loves to do (like most other kids) is spend time on the computer. One of our favorite websites is Starfall.com . It is a free educational sight that not only teaches reading but the kids really seem to enjoy it. It is geared towards preschool to 2nd grade and is a great tool for learning early reading skills. It helps to teach phonics but can also enhance sight vocabulary as well. The ABC's section is for early reading and it lets you explore your letters and their phonetic sounds. There are great songs for each of the short vowel sounds and for each consonant there is a short activity which explores the letters sound and teaches you some words that start with each letter. Once children know their letters (and even before that) there are stories that you can read. If you click on each word it not only says the word for you, but it sounds it out phonetically, teaching you to do the same. There are lots of other fun activities too. I think it is one of the

Learning the 10 Commandments

Image
As Gess is getting older we thought it was important to stress having some personal devotion time. I think she needs to know that she can pray and study God's Word anytime she chooses. We always begin her day learning something in the Bible together. Then I have her write and meditate on the portion of Scripture that was the focus for the day. Since she was doing some written work each day we thought it would be good to have a place to keep it all together so that could look it over later and remember what she has studied so far. So we made made her a notebook and titled it My Devotional and keep it with her bible. One of our early lessons this year was to memorize the 10 commandments. I recalled that Living Waters had a great resource for helping kids to memorize them so I went to their site and downloaded their 10 Commandments Learning Aids . They use these images to help tie the number to the actual commandment. They have a full presentation but here is the sheet with
