Christian Family Delight Directed Learning Guide by The Thinking Tree (Review)

Image
I have been helping Sarah from The Thinking Tree write some of the Amazon descriptions. After I had written about twenty of them, we realized that Amazon only allows so many characters/words, haha, so we have to take some words out. My goal when writing the description was to really give you mamas an idea of what was in that particular journal. I get so many questions with people wanting to know this-or-that about a journal. I thought all that work, and we have to shorten the description, hehe. Anyway, Sarah and I thought it would be great to share with you all.

90 Day Pocket Planner by The Thinking Tree

Image
Sarah from The Thinking Tree has come out with some really neat planners. She explains: One of the most important activities we are doing with our planner is THINKING. We are stopping to ponder the question every day: What is Important? Can I do it today? What is necessary? Will I do it today? When we are in survival mode we are just trying to fix the problems caused by neglecting important and necessary items that were not prioritized. Sometimes we are going through hard times, loss, new baby, sickness and we really fall behind in a lot of necessary things. But I find that when I am unable to get up and do the necessary things, I can still do many important things. I can have a child snuggle up with me and read a stack of books. I can give my children a chance to grow by asking them to prepare Christmas Dinner because I was up too late on Christmas Eve. So many important things can happen when we are down. Right now I am at a Dr appointment with my husband in Hungary, for stomach pain...

Creative Copywork by The Thinking Tree! This post may contain affiliate links. Please see my disclosure. I'm excited about the Creative Copywork Journal and am already making plans for Lance to use it. What makes this copywork journal unique by The Thinking Tree ? Sarah has added coloring pages to relax and calm the mind after a rigorous brain workout. Copywork may not sound like much but when your child is copying someones thoughts and ideas word-for-word the brain is really getting a great workout. You or your child can choose what is to be copied. There is space for your child to write the title of the book he is copying from, the page number and the date. There are also pages for your child to write any words that need attention and/or practice. They can put those words in their journal using the Spelling & Vocabulary pages. Some of the copywork pages will have your child illustrate or draw a scene from the passage they copied. I thought would be fun for Lance is to have ...
