One of the things I liked about ACE & Christian Light Education were the booklets which were so convenient verses bulky textbooks. So I thought I would organize the Biblioplan making homemade booklets. You could do this with the Wisdom Booklet projects too. I purchased report covers so I do not have to whole punch my worksheets, I would like at the end of the year or unit to comb-bind the pages making a history notebook at the end of the year. I then printed out all the worksheets, maps, schedule, & even the Companion for the week. I then placed everything leaving the schedule on top and placed it all in the report covers. I then circled and wrote what I wanted them to do for the week on the schedule. update 8/27/2014 ~* Now I schedule the essay writing assignments for my highschool students right on the Cool study sheet. I have the hardcopy for myself that I use to plan for the year and week. I have a a hardcopy of both the companion & Family guide. Since I use workboxes I then fill their box. Since I have so many kiddos I also have a book basket with the books in it that they need to share on top of my workboxes.
Part of the fun of homeschooling is learning things we didn’t learn when we were in school. Or re-learning them because we don’t remember them. This year, I knew that I wanted to cover modern history with my kids. I remember bits and pieces of it from high school, but in 15 years of homeschooling I have never covered modern history. Well, the girls used BJU history for a year and that covered a bit of it, but I was out of the loop because it was a text book and they were in different levels. I want my kids

OM 5 Science has us learning about astronomy. In our study of early, practical applications of astronomy by the Egyptians, we learned about sundials. One assignment required Thing 3 to make a sundial and try to tell time with it, checking himself against a clock. It was difficult at first, but he got pretty good at it fairly quickly. We made this very simple yet effective sundial by placing a pencil in a ball of clay. Every hour, Thing 3 went out and marked the hour with a stone. This sundial goes from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Easy cheesy! And fun!

When I explained to my eight year old son that ancient peoples didn't have clocks like we do today, he was surprised. I don't think the thought had ever occurred to him that without batteries or electricity, the hands of a clock simply couldn't move. In Ancient Greece, they used a water clock to time short events. It was called a clepsydra (KLEP-sye-druh). I thought it would be fun to make our own version of these ancient clocks. What You Need masking tape fine-tip permanent marker two of the same empty plastic beverage bottles thumbtack pitcher of water timer (we used a stopwatch app on the iPad) craft knife (to be used by an adult only) funnel to make pouring easier How to Make It Remove the labels from the beverage bottles for clear viewing to the inside. An adult should cut one of the tops off the bottle with a craft knife. Recycle the top; you won't need it. With the top cut off, the bottom of the other bottle should fit snuggly down into it. Label the bottles if you'd like (bottle A is the complete bottle and bottle B is the one you've cut). Turn the complete bottle over (bottle A) and put a thumbtack through the center of the bottom of the bottle to make a small hole. (This is the hardest part of the whole project.) Mark on this bottle where the full line is (figure this out by nesting bottle A inside the bottle B; the distance from the bottom of bottle B up to the bottom of bottle A or slightly below is where you should draw the line on bottle A). Note: We botched this up but it's important to know how full to fill your bottle each time. You'll want to be consistent. Grab a length of masking tape and adhere it vertically to the side of the cut bottle (bottle B). Now get your timer and the pitcher of water ready. Pour the water, using a funnel if desired, into the neck of bottle A (your bottles should be nested) and immediately start the timer. Pour up to the fill line on bottle A. When one minute passes, make a small mark at the water line on the masking tape on bottle B. Continue to mark the minutes until the water has completely emptied from the top bottle into the bottom one. We only marked the first 10 minutes, but you can mark as many minutes as you'd like. Now you can dump out the water and put the timer aside. Another pour of the pitcher and you can calculate how long something takes with just your water clock! This great activity was adapted from instructions in the book Spend the Day in Ancient Greece.
