Learning Through Life

Kids at this age are like sponges, the goal at this age is to expose them to different things and information. While they will learn information, it is not the main goal!

Please note that some things are religious-based. I will indicate all religious-based information with * on both sides of the information so if you would like to remove it from your homeschooling, feel free to do so!

What is an emergency? An emergency can be many things. Fire, disaster, being in danger, being hurt. 911 is available for us to call at any time, but we must remember that we should only call 911 if there is an emergency.

Social Skills:

It is important to follow directions all the time, but when in public it is even more important. * However, no one can request that you do something that goes against God’s Law, like when “Simon says” is not said before the direction in the game… let’s just say life is a game of “God says”.

You can love things and love family, but nothing should ever be put before God. God is the creator of the universe. The one who spoke you into existence.

Calling

We all have a calling; a calling is something that God has called us to do. What has God called me to do? To find your calling. We must look at the skills and abilities that God has given us. Some skills and abilities are given to everyone, and others are given to specific people.
