Fine Arts in Your Family's Homeschool ~ *here's a quick win for ya!

 So, we all know how hard it is to get the basics done in a homeschool day / week / year.


The "extras" can so easily be pushed aside for later. But if we don't make a plan and follow it, later may never come.


Today I want to share with you a really terrific resource that can help you thoroughly and easily accomplish one aspect of Fine Arts in your homeschool.


The Composer Detective Series by Jus' Classical provides a remarkable way to teach music appreciation in a way that your kids will really enjoy.


I've done my fair share of products reviews & I only wish I'd had access to these materials when my children were younger. The value is pretty incredible. Super easy to use, high-quality content provided by a competent instructor. Yeah, that pretty much ticks every box for this homeschool mom.


Let me tell you what The Composer Detective Full Course is all about.


It's an all-in-one online course that takes the study of music appreciation to a whole new level. In this course, your student will work through four phases of learning about orchestral music: Instruments, History, Composers & Music. It's incredibly thorough and includes videos, playlists, teachers notes, worksheets, activity pages, quizzes, and so on. You get it all, and you get it taught by a teacher who knows her stuff and makes it fun. 


And what happens when learning is fun? Well, the learned information sticks rather than slides in one ear and slips out the other.

 

Here's a little snippet of the course layout ~ 


I really mean it when I say I wish my kids had had access to this course.

If you have children who are interested in the fine arts, please consider grabbing this course. It will pay dividends in their life and you are laying a foundation for God to develop the giftings and talents and abilities He has in mind for your child. You'll never regret an investment like that.


And if you need an extra little incentive, well, here ya go: If you purchase via my link in this blog post, please send me proof of your purchase (like your order #) in an email (send it to JanLBurt@outlook.com with subject The Composer Detective) and I will send you a copy of my ebook "All Things Homeschool - Devotions for Moms Volume 1" for free.


The world as a whole is nixing music and art from education in the formative years for a variety of reasons. As homeschoolers, we have the opportunity to "un-nix" the arts.

So, why shouldn't we??


Happy Homeschooling, my friend. I hope you are blessed beyond measure today & that you find all that you need in the Lord as you raise up your children to be the young men and women that He created them to be.

You're doing a good work! I'm in your corner, always rooting for you.

Lord bless you!

A Homeschool Mom's Devotional by award-winning podcaster Jan L. Burt

Colossians 4:17 tells the reader to "be sure to carry out the work the Lord gave you". How can this be applied to the enormously busy lifestyle of a homeschool mom? First of all, we must always remember that the Word of God has the answer for our every need and we can trust fully in God to use His Word to lead us, guide us, correct us, and bless us. Keeping that in mind, let's consider what this verse is saying. We are told to carry out, or complete, the work the Lord has given us. We are wives, mothers, homeschoolers. Those three BIG job descriptions come immediately to mind when I think of homeschooling mothers. Applying God's Word to our life means carrying out our work as wives, as mothers, and as homeschoolers. When I am exhausted from another long day (or long week, long month, long year, etc.) I still must honor the Lord by blessing my husband. Maybe that means having a hot meal on the table when he arrives home from work. Perhaps your husband

I Gotta Let You Know Two Very Important Things (Seriously, They Are Truly Important For You To Know...)

 First, a big --- fat --- hefty dose of encouragement for you, my wonderful homeschooling friend.  As you get ready to roll into the fall of 2020...stop for just one moment and hear what God's Word has to say to you right here, right now, on the brink of the last stretch of what has possibly been the most turn-your-whole-world-upside-down year ever.  Psalm 125:2 - As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the Lord surrounds His people both now and forevermore.   You are surrounded.  Completely & totally, that's exactly how surrounded you are.  Going into the great unknown as, say, a working mom whose children are going to be doing school online at home (or a working mom homeschooling and working from home for just the next several months, but not planning on continuing to home educate after things "normalize" again).  This is God's promise just for you as you embark upon this season of life. I really, truly believe He wants you to know that He has you surrounded

My Preferred Bible Reading Plan

We all know that reading our Bibles is a key part of living a healthy life as a follower of Jesus. But busy homeschool moms may, at times, struggle to know what part of the Bible to read on any given day. Some people read the Bible through, Genesis to Revelation, and when they finish simply start over. Others have reading plans that follow along with the sermons their pastor is currently preaching. And yet others find themselves "stuck in the Psalms", since they're not quite sure what to read. I'm not going to tell you how many chapters a day you should read, or that you need to do exactly what I do. I'm just going to share what has worked for me, and hopefully encourage you to get into the Word using some type of plan ~ because every homeschool mom knows what happens to our plans when we fail to create a plan, right?! I use a prayer and Bible reading guide called "Prayer Point" , published by Samaritan's Purse. About every 8 weeks, I receive a

Schoolhouse Review Crew ~ A Thomas Jefferson Education (This Week in History)

Rachel DeMille, of Thomas Jefferson Education , promotes a fascinating educational philosophy (based on The Seven Keys of Great Teaching ). Her website, www.TJEd.org , provides a thorough explanation of this philosophy. It's also an excellent history resource that I hope my blog readers will consider using in their homeschools. I really love what Rachel is doing! I am not reviewing everything available at the website - trust me, there is quite a bit to be found there! What I am reviewing is " This Week in History ", a resource that covers a wide variety of subjects and topics on a daily basis in an engaging and interesting manner. I have used this as a part of our history curriculum, but it really is so much more than history.  Each week I receive an email with the current week's " This Week in History ". I am also able to access this information at the website, along an archive that covers the current year. And I also receive daily emails, called &q

Do You Homeschool? Then You Need to Read This Article!

Whether you have been homeschooling for a month, a year, or a decade, you've inevitably faced the "questions". Questions about socialization, college, athletics, driver's ed, high-school biology, etc. etc. etc. and so on..... It seems as if homeschoolers are ripe for questions from day one; but the flip side seems to be that there really is no flip side. We are expected to patiently answer any and all questions, smiling politely and pretending we've never heard this line of questioning before. But when we try to ask a few questions about, say, public schools as a whole or the issue of private schools being used as a last-ditch landing spot for students expelled from public school, well...ahem...we're pretty much told to keep quiet. No one wants to hear our questions, and often times no one really wants to hear our answers to their questions. They just kind of want us to....go....away. I'm not planning on going away any time soon. And neither are my fiv
