The Salamader Room FIAR

Super excited to be able to this year intentionally teach our children from a Creationist point of view. Simply because we can. Our children have lots of points of view barraging them in media and every day life . But as a family it is wonderful to be able to teach what we believe unequivocaly? to our children in our home . As long as we homeschool and as long as we can have access to curriculum that supports our point of view ..we will unapologetically enjoy some good stuff. And we do own Oceans and other items .. gasp.. that herald evolution as its only course. We enjoy these beautifully done DVD's and then discuss points of view. Open to our childrens debate or questions.The AIG books are created by scholars and teachers who Homeschoolerd for homeschoolers. Super easy to use. Versatile for differing ages in a family. Beautfiylly colored and fun. Leading the kids out of their seats to help them see and explore the world around them The Story of the WOrld promises to be a good Historical companion, starting at Ancient times and giving activity sheets and hands on "Roman belt" making and ancient skills in money or trades..:) We have other family friends who are doing the same program so I am sure we will be sharing notes on apologia. On the edge are the most beautiful "Katie" books that I will be using this year in our art program that I have developed. Aidan will put up with them.but secretly think they are cool . as we have already perused them...and Mary will love them!!


We watched Reading Rainbows presentaton of a tropical habitat and the book "The Salamander room" We read our FIAR Lesson. Habitats and mother child relationships, list making, setting of the story,reading for knowledge was discussedtthe use of space in the book and the border around pages, Science and the love of Nature as well. We then went out and did a scavenger hunt and found items to classify. We talked about our knowledge of Salamanders as amphibians. Aidan loves Salamander thats why we pulled this book study out of Volume 3. We are back to Volume 2 now this week.
