S is for Segregation and Civil Rights
There are some ugly parts of American history and segregation is one of those. However, just because talking about that time period might make us uncomfortable, it doesn’t mean that we should skip it with elementary age students. Thankfully men and women came along who helped to bring an end to segregation in the Southern states. So while the initial discussion of segregation is difficult, the epilogue is inspiring!

I am so excited to be apart of the 3rd Booking Across the USA blog hop with some other amazing bloggers. This idea come from Jodie of Growing Book by Book! If you missed seeing the previous year’s author’s be sure to hop over and check them all out!
Since we live in Ohio I just figured I would choose an Ohio author. I just so happen to know of an author for children whom I found via Facebook. I wanted to meet up with Aileen Stewart in person but wasn’t able to squeeze the trip into our schedule before this event. She lives less then 3 hours away so I am sure we will meet someday in real-life!

My son, Big Red, who is turning 5 this month can recognize lots and lots of numbers. Lil’ Red who is only 20 months is just learning about numbers. Both boys like to read so I was very excited to find free kindle books about counting and numbers!
Since the weather is nice we will be heading to parks and nature programs but would love for the little boys to be able to learn on the go! Remember you do not have to own a Kindle device to enjoy free Kindle books! You can download the Free Kindle Reading app!

It’s here it’s here. The long awaited Write Through the Bible Junior Curriculum. Now I will be honest in saying that I do not have experience with the original Elementary aged version of Write Through the Bible but after seeing how the Junior version is laid out I am all in!
The original Write Through the Bible books blend handwriting practice and Bible memory for older kid (grades 1-5). But since we’ve released these workbooks we’ve had more of a demand for something for younger kids who are just starting to learn their letters (preschool and Kindergarten). The following skills are included in Write Through the Bible Jr.
• Fine motor coordination
• Letter sounds
• Letter formation
• Bible memory
• Biblical study
• Vocabulary
Our first workbook focuses on Philippians 2:1-18 and is available in ESV or KJV, as well as ball-and-stick, D’Nealian manuscript, and cursive fonts.

This week’s installment in the series ABC’s of American History is all about JFK. I honestly do not know very much about him besides his assassination. Sad but true. I had to watch videos and do some research in order to find resources for this post.
John F. Kennedy was the youngest person to be elected president at the age of 43. He was also the first Roman Catholic ever elected to the presidency of the United States. He was elected by a very narrow margin and served for less than three years yet he became one of America’s most beloved leaders.
