Educational Travel on a Shoestring on Homeschool Heartbeat

Listen in on my recent interview with HSLDA's Homeschool Heartbeat..."Can you really have a family traveling experience that’s fun, educational, and affordable? It seems impossible! This week, Melissa Morgan and Mike Smith talk about some out-of-the-ordinary money-saving ways you can bring homeschool on the road." http://www.hslda.org/docs/hshb/77/hshbwk1.asp

Summer’s End, "Understanding the Times" Begins

Our homeschool schedule officially started the day after Labor Day. However, we learned a lot this Summer. Learning happens all the time--for kids and parents. I recently borrowed an interesting book, "Don't Tread on Me: A 400-Year History of America at War, from Indian Fighting to Terrorist Hunting, by H.W. Crocker III. Great read!

I also finished reading Peretti's "Monster," which my high school age homeschooler read as well. What have you been reading lately?

Our highschooler funneled her energy in Civil Air Patrol activities this summer, and our youngest, in elementary school, homeschooled throughout the Summer (with shorter hours). Now we are back to our "regular"school schedule.


For high school, we are using "Understanding the Times: A Comparative Worldview and Apologetics Curriculum," (by David Noebel ) from Summit Ministries. Visit Christian Book Distributors (CBD), http://www.christianbook.com/Christian/Books/cms_sp?event=AFF&p=1011604&sp=1016 , if you'd like to get your copy of "Understanding the Times." (type the name of the book that you want in the “Search” block.) We don't accept donations; however, anything you order from that link helps support this web site.

Would you be interested in a free on-line discussion group for "Understanding the Times"? If you'd like to find out more, please post a comment at eaglesnesthome.blogspot.com..

Ready to start? Here's your assignment:

Read the "Introduction to Worldviews," in "Understanding the Times," and view the Video questions. I suggest that you write a short (at least three paragraph) essay for each of the Video Questions. The curriculum is comprehensive, so we won't be able to discuss all the questions here.

Click on the blue "comments" link (next to the envelope icon) to share a short essay with the discussion group on the following Reflection Question:

"What does the dictum "ideas have consequences" mean?

Be specific with examples to support your point of view. Next week, I'll post another Reflection Question. Thanks for sharing your insights!
