I have substituted a children’s book about Saints in the Bible reading time to give some sense of church history as well as cultural awareness (I’m enjoying reading the stories of saints whose names I’ve heard all my life – especially in names of places!) History: In Review I am planning on adding it back in to Together Time or possibly Sunday Vespers when they are both a little older. I felt it was better to put it off for later. I started using it with M but did not get all the way through the year. I have decided not to use Trial and Triumph this year. Click the image for my word document file. We both love to talk about things we remember and he enjoys hearing me tell stories about things he doesn’t remember. He looks forward to Wednesdays when we do the timeline. Though as we’ve gotten closer to the current year he sometimes requests a specific picture that he remembers. In my weekly planning I go through my photos from the that year and print out a variety of pictures for him to choose from and have those ready for him to cut out and paste into the timeline. For each year of his life, he picks three pictures and writes a short description (which he usually talks me in to counting as copy work). I have modified her timeline template a little and print a page for every year and tape it together to make a folding book. I am using an idea from Lesley Manning at fromthecmtrenches. Once a week we work on Em’s personal timeline. I will probably substitute the D’Aulaire Leif the Lucky book. There are too many edits in the portrayals of Native Americans that I would have to make to feel comfortable reading this one. I am making a substitution for the third term reading of D’Aulaire’s Buffalo Bill. We are using the regularly scheduled readings and enjoying them. Even with these breaks, we finished Mark early, so we started reading Luke. Matthew Passion by Bach (I will be putting together a listening guide and posting it on the Other Guide’s page). We also took a break during lent to go read through Matthew 26 and 27 and listen to The St. We took a break during December to go through Handel’s Messiah using Hallelujah: Cultivating Advent Traditions with Handel’s Messiah by Cindy Rollins. Bible: In ReviewĪs planned, we went through the book of Mark. I alternate the memory verse and catechism question every day after our opening prayer. Each new question leads us to discussions of what we believe for a little theology lesson. We use the New City Catechism for the catechism questions. and alternate with shorter “important” verses like John 3:16. For the Bible verses I choose longer passages such as Psalm 100, Psalm 24, I Corinthians 13 etc. This includes two things: A Bible verse and a catechism question. For example, this year we are talking about how the Bible is organized and are starting to memorize the books of the Old Testament.Įvery morning we also work on our Bible memory. On Thursday I add in a reading from the Stories of Saints and on Friday we have a general Bible lesson. Since this would not take us all year if we read a passage every day, I read from the Bible Mondays – Wednesdays. Instead of using the scheduled selected readings, I’m reading through the entire book a passage at a time. This year the New Testament readings are from Mark. I have made bookmarks for the Old Testament readings for each AO Year. I read the New Testament readings in the morning and include the Old Testament readings in our Vespers time in the evening. I include Bible in Together Time so I only use the schedule for M (since that’s who we started with and Em was listening along anyway). Ambleside Online provides a schedule for each year that breaks the readings down for each week.
