[LBC] FREE Holiday Helper with Picture Study, Copywork, Poetry....

I remember Labor Days past when I had no idea what the holiday meant. Was it more than a day off?
When I looked into it, I was quite surprised...and moved... by what I discovered.
Here's all I learned about the holiday as one of our very popular Holiday Helpers. In its pages you will find all you need to make the holiday meaningful and rich: living ideas, poems, stories, copywork and a fascinating picture study by Ford Maddox Ford entitled, "Work." ~    Sheila Carroll www.LivingBooksCurriculum.com & www.CharlotteMasonHighSchool.com

Thanksgiving School ideas

THANKSGIV'ING, n. The act of rendering thanks or expressing gratitude for favors or mercies.
Every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if received with thanksgiving. 1 Tim.4.
1. A public celebration of divine goodness; also, a day set apart for religious services, specially to acknowledge the goodness of God, either in any remarkable deliverance from calamities or danger, or in the ordinary dispensation of his bounties. The practice of appointing an annual thanksgiving originated in New England. --1828 edition of Webster's American Dictionary of the English Language

[LBC] Free Easter Holiday Helper‏

 From Living Books Curriculum:

Every Christian home celebrates Resurrection Day, but not every homeschool.

Why?

Often because the homeschooling parent doesn't know how to present it in a living way. Living Books Curriculum has created a Holiday Helper for you that beautifully expresses the day in poem, story, song, and great art. You will especially appreciate the "First Easter" which explains the Resurrection for young children with faithfulness to the gospel account.

The poems, stirring paintings, and song will lift and inspire and are ready to use for a busy homeschooling mom with helps along the way.
