Each morning we begin school with our morning devotional.  We start by singing a song from the selection the kids will be singing in the primary program, then we have prayer, and then we study our scriptures.  We are studying the New Testament right now.  For my non-LDS friends, we use the King James version.  We first read the story out of the kids scripture readers.  Then we mark the verses in our New Testaments.  After they are marked we read the actual verses aloud.  I have found that this helps the kids understand the story as well as teaches them to comprehend the writing style of the Bible.  After we are done reading, the boys do the pages from their workbook that pertains to the chapter we read.  While the boys are doing their workbook pages, Olivia usually moves on to something else.  Today it was reading.  Have I mentioned I <3 homeschooling!! 🙂

  1. You are such an inspiration! I wish all parents taught the gospel to their kids as well as you do. I really love reading your blogs. Martha

  2. I forgot to tell you…. Did you know that when you download the LDS music app with the actual sheet music. At the bottom of the page you can press play and it will play the music so you can sing along. Kind of handy, wonder if it works like that on our phones too? I will have to check it out.
