Exploring our artist of the term 𝗪𝗶𝗻𝘀𝗹𝗼𝘄 𝗛𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗿 by making our own versions of lithographs. Homer was commissioned by the famous magazine of the time Harper Weekly to capture the scenes from the fronts of the Civil War. We learned about the importance of artists of this time to help communicate with the citizens of the nation. Homer was known for the realistic quality of his Civil War drawings that were not overly romanticized, but sought to accurately capture the day to day life of the soldiers. We then learned about printmaking and even made our own attempts!⁣
⁣
This was a bit more involved art lesson! 🤪 But making prints was one of my favorite memories from my middle school art class, so it was fun to try to recreate this experience a bit with my older children this week as we stepped back in history through this week’s 𝘈𝘳𝘵 𝘗𝘳𝘰𝘮𝘱𝘵 for the Lower and Upper Grammar classes of 𝘚𝘵𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘞𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘴 𝘚𝘤𝘩𝘰𝘭é! ⁣

We spent some time listening to the beautifully written songs that correspond with each week’s Bible verse as a part of the NEW @PeacefulPress preschool Bible Curriculum, A-Z The Good Gospel. My two younger children worked on this week’s coloring Bible verse and declaration sheet as part of this week’s lesson, while my older two worked on their individual devotionals and Bible copywork. My son had the idea to cut up paper to make a collage to look like a stained-glass window! His younger sister soon followed suit! While listening to this music this morning, my son exclaimed, “Mom, I love this music. It makes me feel all peace and quiet inside. I think her voice sounds like one of God’s angels!” Praise God for moments like this and for leading me to this new resource! ⁣
⁣
This beautiful, contemplative, yet SIMPLE, curriculum interweaving a weekly Bible story, art, music, prayer, memory work and suggested hands on explorations all centered around a weekly theme and letter will be implemented in Still Waters Scholé’s Primer (PK) this term! It is exactly what I was looking for and I didn’t have to write it! Yay! 🙌🏻 ⁣
⁣
It was written by a homeschool mom inspired by the philosophy of Charlotte Mason and Maria Montessori, who longed for her children to have the same sacred and beautiful approach to learning about Jesus that we take to learning about the world around us, and to disciple young children in the faith in a way that invites a deeper and more meaningful connection to God through more contemplative learning and reflection. I would highly recommend checking this out for your home or church children’s ministry! ⁣

And we are back at it! After a long break, today marked the first day of Term 3 for our family and the Still Waters Scholé community! We kicked off the term with an engaging Morning Scholé ZOOM gathering where we contemplated our growth thus far, welcomed a new family, sang a cacophony version of Happy Birthday all together to a student, introduced the next term’s Bible memory verse and song with American Sign Language, presented and discussed this term’s virtue, dependability, humorously moved around as we imitated rainforest creatures (this week’s Biomes Prompt explores tropical forests), looked at a piece of artwork by this term’s new artist, found this week’s U.S. geographical features on our maps, presented this week’s memory work with fun songs, motions, creative sentences using prepositions like- “The mountain monkey went about his business.”- and ended our morning with this term’s all community read aloud, Tree in the Trail, which tied in beautifully to this week’s geographical locations!⁣
⁣
This all sparked our continued learning for the rest of the day in our individual homes- Abraham Lincoln inspired picture books, history-related copywork, and Civil War discussions, an introduction to Gershwin, this term’s composer (via week’s Music Prompt) and even enough time at the end of the day for free play so Momma could quietly slip away behind a bookcase where her desk is located to unwind, reflect and prepare for Day 2! 🤣⁣
