Each morning the kids and I gather at the table for a time that consists of Bible reading, prayer, and singing the hymn of the month. We also use this time to read/recite the poem of the month, go over some Greek and Latin word roots cards, and do our Tapestry of Grace read aloud. I also like to incorporate a separate thing I consider character study. Last fall we went through the book Making Brothers and Sisters Best Friends by Sarah, Stephen, and Grace Mally. Today we are starting The Young Peacemaker by Corlette Sande. I am really looking forward to the lessons about handling conflict Biblically and hope and pray the children really take them to heart. I have seen that when we talk daily about relationships, love, kindness, and how we should treat eachother, it does make an impact. It's a lot of work, a lot of talking- but Lord willing they will leave this home well equipped to handle conflict in a way that is glorifying to God!
