You might remember that September has been Blog month at Compassion! It has been awesome to be a part of this ministry and try to help get sponsors for over 3,000 children!! Amazing what GOOD technology can do, yes?? So, this month our assignment was to write on our blog from the perspective of a sponsored child. So, instead of writing a whole "pretend" letter...I thought I would share snippets of letters we have gotten from our sponsored child, Keneth. Isn't he precious?? That picture ...

Project Based Homeschooling ~ Ocean Layers
This was truly a child-led, independent learning, just-like-the-book-explains it, project for Hannah!! Reading Project-Based Homeschooling has really encouraged me and helped me to know that Hannah is learning SO much as she works on these little projects.

Bible in 90 Days – Week 6
Whew! Another week of reading is behind us! I have been so intrigued by how the Chronicles are very much word-for-word chapters of 2 Samuel and 1 Kings!! If I had not been reading chronologically I would not have noticed this, I don't think! I also love the Psalms so much, so I've loved this portion. (As a matter of fact, I'm working on a 31 day series calling Praying the Psalms that will start October 1st! I hope you'll join me!) Another portion of Scripture that I am always fascinated ...
