Spring is a great time to get outside and learn about nature. Children are naturally curious about the world around them so when they see birds flying across the sky or insects in the garden they will wonder how they got there. Migration happens for many animals and insects and is a fun topic to learn about.

Welcome to the fourth month of Homeschool Mama’s Book Club! The member’s of the Homeschool Beginner’s Facebook group picked the book title via a poll. This month we will be reading How to Raise Children for Christ by Andrew Murray.
Quoted from Amazon: This book is different from most books on raising children. It is a plea for the parents to truly know and walk with God – for them to love God and His Word. In the correct order, focusing first on the parents, Andrew Murray then urges parents to sincerely and consistently love their children and in all tenderness and gentleness teach them as God also teaches us.
You can order How to Raise Children for Christ on Amazon either Kindle or Paperback version or purchase a copy of How to Raise Children for Christ on Thriftbooks. If you are an auditory learner then you might want to check out Audible since many of the selections we will read for #hsmamasbookclub will be available on audible.
You can read the Table of Contents, Preface and Days one through six on Amazon as part of their “Look Inside This Book! Check it out here–> https://amzn.to/2WEZh95

Praying Mantids are quite an unusual phenomena that our family has grown to love. A handful of years ago we discovered that we had Praying Mantis that grew in our garden beds surrounding our house. We would typically find pinkie-sized Praying Mantis in the middle of the Summer.
I have been fascinated with Praying Mantids ever since I realized we had them growing on our property about 5-7 years ago. I think seeing the babies and having them crawl on your hand or arm is much less intimidating then a full grown adult which looks a little fierce!

I’m not quite sure how long ago I found out about Librivox but I love free resources and audiobooks could be expensive if you had to buy them. I enjoy homeschooling using Librivox and using Librivox for personal growth. There’s two different ways that I use Librivox so I will share those with you first.

1. Download audiobooks for old cellphone or iPod via the Librivox website. Yes, we still own old tech that doesn’t have WiFi or use apps and read more about this on our post –Digital Devices for Homeschool. Librivox online works very well with these types of devices. You go to Librivox via PC and find a couple classic Literature titles. Then you can download them chapter by chapter or zip file or via iTunes!
2. Use the free Librivox app or the paid ad-free version to listen to audiobooks on the go! No waiting for your turn like Overdrive. If you download the audiobooks to your device then you won’t use up your data when off WiFi.
