Living Books

Today was fantastic! Emily did her regular coursework and also had computer lessons. She finished out her day by going back in time! She really enjoys learning about the different Native American tribes and the history of our continent. We have started our book on America's story, a Living History
book, this week. Living books are used in the Charlotte Mason approach to learning and really engage the learner through art, vocabulary geography, history and narration. This year we will do a lesson weekly from the ancient American all the way through the gold rush!

Emily will be journaling as she goes through this book, writing reports and making some wonderful projects!

We use Living Books in science as well. Emily is studying two science courses this year.
~And It Was Good
This is a Creation science study that will help Emily to learn and understand better why the Bible is true in its account of Creation, and why evolution can't be. This study focuses on a young pastor and wife who take over a small country church.

~Let The Rocks Cry Out
This book teaches geology, and focuses on volcanoes, lightning, rocks, earthquakes, storms, light, sound, clouds, weather, the laws of thermodynamics and so much more!

Even Elliot is at an age where he can learn concepts from these books! Homeschooling with Living Books is so wonderful as it is easy to adapt for differing ages and abilities.
