Absolutely!! I have learned so much right along with my kids.

@@moments_peaceThank you

High school is the best! You will love it!

@moments_peace I can't wait. I'm about 1.5 years out.

I’m so glad it was helpful. Let me know if you have any other questions because I’ve used all of them.

@@moments_peace I love the idea of LLATL but I think it just might be too much for us. It looks like a lot of work throughout the week. Thoughts? So really it brings me down to USW and Queens. I love the simplicity of both but Im almost leaning towards Queens because it looks like a little more hand holding. What do you think?

⁠@@rachaelpierson3470you are right in your assessment! LLATL is fantastic but can be a lot. So I used and assigned the literature books with Queens LL and that was a great balance and fit. My oldest is an author and she loved this balance of the four or so books from LLATL and credits Queen LA and living books for her passion of writing and reading. For one of my other kids they used Queen’s as the core four days a week and SCM ULW twice a week with Spelling Wisdom. It worked out well for that child. But you don’t have to use both. Queen LL solo works well! It’s so simple yet so effective, has a variety, and is directed straight to the student. So you can be hands off depending on reading ability. It’s also very flexible and true to the classic CM method.

@@moments_peace OH I LOVE the idea of splicing Queens and LLATL book studies together! That actually sounds perfect for my daughter! THANK YOU for that idea :) She's in 4th grade and loves reading. May I ask did you use Queens all the way up to the middle/high school years as well? I noticed you used wordsmith as well. When did you start implementing that?

@ yes! I have used Queen through high school. It’s great! Especially for research paper writing. That’s the third high school book I believe. My oldest did the High school books 1&2 together one year with skipping the copy work in one of the books if the other had it for that day. Then she did the grammar and high school 3 book. For my older two children(now both graduated) we use Wordsmith and Queen together starting in seventh grade. So by 10th they were done with Wordsmith. My oldest, the author, finished out her high school career with just Queen and Literature. My third child started with both Wordsmith and Queen at the same time in 6th grade. He did the first book of Wordsmith then Wordsmith Apprentice with Queen. They complement each other well! It’s very manageable daily. He is currently doing LLFLE 9 from Masterbooks. That is also going very well. We love that it covers the Pilgrims Progress for literature with everything else. In January(our new school year) he will be doing Wordsmith Craftsman and Queen high school grammar together. Then he will finish out 11th grade with Masterbooks LLFLE 10. 12th grade is to be determined but probably Queen High school book 3 for research with what Masterbooks may have available at the time. I hope this is helpful and not confusing.

Of course!

Yes! She is thriving! We have to do yearly testing as required for our state and she was above grade level in everything!

@@moments_peace Thank you! We use some Masterbooks stuff. I LOVE their preschool, Simply K, and handwriting courses. I also plan to use their Logic course next year along with a science course. I just hear such conflicting views with the Math and LA. I love the 'idea' of them but I get concerned.

@@BrookeM-ig4vu Logic is fantastic! I definitely recommend the MB academy course to help supplement for greater understanding by hearing from the author and getting more of his examples. Yeah, math and LA seem to be the two subjects people are conflicted about. Those subjects in general are the ones that cause the greatest fear. But we are not a people called to fear. The Lord will help us. Seeking him and gaining wisdom from him for our children and homeschool is most important. I think consistency is the key for those subjects along with immediate correction and review. That’s what will cause the growth. As skill based subjects, we also need to focus on where are students are and not where they should be because of outside pressure or arbitrary grade levels. Students will begin to thrive in an environment of consistency, practice, and knowing the why. When students gain understanding for the reasons and logical steps they begin to see everything build on each other and understand with greater confidence and clarity. We have seen the progression of MB math and LA . It really does pick up and gets meaty and prepares a student well for college, dual enrollment, and the workforce. Pray and see how the Lord leads you. There’s so much out there but he will guide you. Blessings to you!!

Very true. I would love to see your curriculum picks for each of your kids!

Sure thing! So happy you found it helpful. Thanks for watching. More to come. ☺️

Thank you and blessings to you on your school year and home! That’s an awesome plan! Masterbooks for high school is my favorite! They have some really neat unique courses! We just started Intro to Forensics and it’s amazing!! It’s quickly becoming a favorite! I will do a flip through on Applied Engineering soon. Thank you for being here and sharing!

@@moments_peace Thank you.

It really is so rich yet simple to do that!

Thanks so much.

They are truly the best!!

We will pass it along.

You’re welcome 😊

The Earth is as sphere. Just deal with it.

@moments_peace Not according to your pastor explaining to you that Pike's Peak has a height above sea level. Level is a horizontal plane with no point higher than another. Even in your earth curve maths surface level is a horizontal plane. You need level to have a deviation from level. Welcome to flat earth!!!

In reality, the elevation angle of Polaris is the angle between the horizontal or vertical reference and the star. The shape of the ground under your feet is irrelevant.

@Zodiac4711 An elevation angle is the imaginary line of sight to the star and the horizontal plane the observer is standing on. It's a flat earth measurement. So you're going to pretend that latitude has nothing to do with the surface of the earth. 😆 🤣 😂

The Earth is a sphere just deal with it

@@moments_peace Can't measure elevation angles with a curved baseline. Welcome to flat earth!!!

@@TB-xx8vj That's a lie. All you need is the tangent.

Not lying. Not deceived. The earth revolve around the sun. Doesn’t contradict the Bible or logic.

How is it illogical?

@@moments_peace if you watch lots of star wars I’m sure something like a lightyear is perfectly plausible based on indoccctrination of this world. That’s why I said based on what? Start doing some comparisons and thinking for yourself, if you worldview is based on the Bible and you believe the words in your Bible… you will never come to the conclusion of a heliocentric spinning water ball earth.

Dr. Lisle has written on this and here is the link to his clear arguments from scripture about the roundness of the Earth. Here is an excerpt. Link below: What does the Bible Teach? One of the strangest claims that you will find on some internet posts is the claim that the Bible supposedly teaches a flat earth. This is odd indeed because the Bible clearly indicates that the earth is round. Job 26:10 poetically describes God inscribing a circle on the face of the waters at the boundary between light and darkness. This boundary is what scientists today call the “terminator.” It is the location on the earth’s surface where evening and morning occur, shown by the red dashes in figure 1. In other words, a person standing on the terminator is either experiencing a sunrise, or a sunset. The shape of the terminator is a circle, just as the Bible states in Job 26:10. And it occurs primarily on the waters of the earth because the earth’s surface is 71% water. A sphere is the only shape where the terminator will always be a circle. The roundness of the earth is implied in other passages as well. Genesis 6-8 describes a global flood in which all the high hills under the entire heaven were covered (Genesis 7:19). Of course, you cannot have a global flood without a globe. If the earth were flat, the water would run off the sides unless there were a rim around the edge - which would constitute a hill that is not covered with water, contrary to Genesis 7:19. How then could anyone claim that the Bible teaches a flat earth? Some internet articles list many verses that supposedly teach a flat earth, but when you look up the verse you will find nothing of the sort. Here are a few examples:[1] “Earth Created Before the Sun: Genesis 1:1-19.” Uhm. Yes, the earth was created before the sun. But how does that even remotely imply that it is flat? “Universe is Complete, Not ever expanding: Genesis 2:1” Well, “complete” doesn’t mean “not expanding”, but even so, how does this even remotely imply that it is flat? “Earth Measurements Unknown: Job 38:4-5, 38:18, Jeremiah 31:37, Proverbs 25:3” Actually, the Job passages do not teach that the earth’s measurements are unknown (though they were probably unknown to Job at that time). Rather, God is asking Job where he was when God measured the earth. But none of these verses even remotely imply a flat earth. “Extremely Large Area of Land is FLAT, no curvature: Ezekiel 45:1” When you read the verse does it say that such land is flat or that it has no curvature? Not at all. “Sun moves backwards: 2 Kings 20:8-11” How is this even remotely related to the shape of the earth? The overwhelming majority of the verses cited are like this. They say absolutely nothing about the shape of the earth. Perhaps the person who listed these thought that we wouldn’t check. Perhaps the person is so inundated with his own viewpoint that he or she reads it into every verse. But clearly, none of these verses even remotely imply a flat earth. But there are a few that someone might think actually say something about the earth’s shape… until we read them in context. For example: “Earth has a Face (a geometrical flat surface): Genesis 1:29” This sounds good, until you realize that the person making the claim has absolutely no exegetical support for his claim that a “face” is a “geometrically flat surface.” On the contrary, the Hebrew word translated “face” or “surface” in Genesis 1:29 is “panim” and literally means “face” or “surface” without any requirement of flatness. In fact, the same word is used of the human face in passages like Genesis 9:23, 17:3, 32:20, 33:10, 38:15, 43:31, 44:23, 46:30, 48:11, 50:1. Is the human face flat or curved? Yes, it is curved. And so this argument backfires on the flat-earther. “High Altitude Perspectives: Daniel 4:11, Daniel 4:20, Matthew 4:8” The passage in Daniel 4:11 describes a tree that grew so large that it was visible to the whole earth. If the tree had height, but no substantial width then indeed it could not be seen by people on the other side of the sphere. By the way, where is this tree and why can I not see it? Well, when we read the verse in context, we find this is not God describing the actual earth. Rather, it is Nebuchadnezzar giving a description of his dream. Perhaps Nebuchadnezzar did dream of a flat earth, but how does that have any bearing on the actual shape of the earth? Furthermore, Daniel explains in verses 20-22 that this tree is not literal, but symbolized King Nebuchadnezzar. How could the flat-earther have missed this? In Matthew 4:8 Satan tempts Christ by taking Him to a high mountain and showing Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. Presumably the flat-earther thinks that it was the height of the mountain that made it possible for Christ to see all the kingdoms of the earth, which would only make sense on a flat earth. But does the text actually say that this is the reason? If so, then where is this mountain? If there were a mountain from which you could see everywhere on earth, then wouldn’t everyone on earth be able to see the mountain? So why can’t we? The parallel account in Luke 4:5 states that Satan “showed Him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time” suggesting that this was a vision, not a location from which all kingdoms can be seen physically. Such horrible misrepresentations of Scripture may stem from the fact that the modern flat earth movement was largely developed by non-Christians in an attempt to discredit the Bible. Eric Dubay is the founder of the modern flat earth movement, and he denies that Jesus ever lived. Apparently, some Christians heard some of these bad arguments supposedly based on Scripture and thought that they were legitimate. They are not. The History of the Science So when and how did scientists discover that the world was round? Many people are under the impression that Christopher Columbus intended to prove that the earth is round - that this was the purpose of his voyage. This is false. Educated people already knew that the world was round by the time of Columbus.[2] People have known this from very ancient times. So when was this discovered and how? Can we really prove that the earth is round today? As far as I know, the earliest reference to a round earth is the book of Job, especially Job 26:10 which describes the circular terminator as discussed above. Job was written in approximately 2000 B.C. Other early civilizations such as the Babylonians and early Greeks taught that the earth was flat. For example, the Greek scholar Anaximander (610 - ~546 B.C.) taught that the earth was flat. Specifically, he claimed the earth to be a cylinder with mankind living on one of the (flat) ends. It is very ironic that some flat-earthers claim that the round earth is a pagan idea, when in reality the pagan cultures clearly taught a flat earth while the book of Job describes the round earth. It was not until the time of Pythagoras (~570 - ~495 B.C.) that the Greeks came to accept what the Bible had taught for the previous 1500 years. The earth really is spherical. It seems that the followers of Pythagoras accepted a round world, though their reasons for believing this are not recorded. The first recorded scientific arguments for a round earth come from Aristotle (384 - 322 B.C.). He noted that the positions of the constellations appear to shift as a person travels south in a way that is consistent with the surface of earth being a sphere. He also noted that the shadow of the earth on the moon during a lunar eclipse is always a circle; this won’t work on a flat earth and is proof positive that the earth is spherical as we will show below. By the time of Eratosthenes (276 - 194 B.C.), the Greeks were well aware of the spherical nature of the earth. Eratosthenes then used observed measurements of the height of the sun as observed in Syene and Alexandria respectively on the same day to compute the size of the earth. Since these two cities are at two different latitudes, the angle of the sun at noon is different due to the curvature of the earth. By measuring the difference in angle, and knowing the distance between the two cities, Eratosthenes accurately computed the size of the entire globe. We can use a variation of his method to demonstrate that the earth is indeed round, as we will show below. biblicalscienceinstitute.com/apologetics/is-the-earth-really-round/

@@moments_peace I believe everything the Bible teaches. The the earth is round not a ball spinning in space. The Bible clearly teaches a geocentric earth and not a heliocentric big bang evolution earth. I would never believe a man over gods word.

@@NaptownTuner I agree with you that the big bang should be rejected and that man’s word should be rejected over God’s word. The Bible is the authority and all things to which it speaks, and all truth is God‘s truth But God‘s word does not constrain us to believe in a geocentric solar system. And this is also not a salvation issue so I don’t want it to come off like it is, but it seems like this is more important than the gospel to a lot of people, which I reject.

Then why can’t we see it in the southern hemisphere?

@@moments_peace You said earth was a sphere because Polaris can't be seen from Australia. That's just tying your belief to not being able to see something. You have not proven earth is a sphere. Now you're asking me for an explanation for your fallacious argument. There's an argument called the black swan. If p then q, not q therefore not p. If the earth is a sphere with a radius of 3,959 miles (p) then the distance to the horizon can be no more than 1.23 miles times the square root of the observer's height in feet (q). An observer at 1 foot camera height recorded the horizon being over 10 miles away (not q). Therefore earth is not a sphere (not p).

@@tbrown3356 This is from the Biblical Science Institute website regarding flat earth. Dr. Lisle from the video wrote this: The Earth is round - approximately spherical.[1] We know this from countless observations. Today we even have photographs taken from space that show the sphericity of our world. All GPS (global positioning system) and satellite technology is based on this fact. Perhaps you have watched the sun set over the horizon, and then called a friend in a different time zone where the sun is still visible. This would not be possible on a flat Earth. Lunar eclipses prove that the Earth is spherical. During a lunar eclipse, the Earth passes between the sun and the moon. The Earth casts its shadow upon the moon. And the shadow it casts is always circular. If the Earth were a flat disk, it would only cast a circular shadow on the moon if the moon is directly overhead. At any other position, a circular disk would cast an elliptical shadow, not a circular one. Yet, the Earth’s shadow is always circular, which is only possible for a sphere. I live in Colorado Springs where it is very easy to detect the curvature of the Earth. There are windmill farms to the east that I cannot see from the town because they are beyond the horizon; the curvature of the Earth blocks them from view. But if I travel West up into the mountains, I can then see the windmills, even though my distance from them has increased. The Bible does mention the roundness of the Earth. One (possible) mention is Isaiah 40:22, where the passage poetically describes God sitting upon the circle of the Earth. This makes sense if the Earth is round. Granted, the passage might also allow for the Earth to be a flat disk which is also round in two dimensions but not in the third. Or it might refer to Earth’s orbit around the sun. So the passage is not conclusive. But Job 26:10 really does not make sense unless the Earth is spherical. Job 26:10 poetically describes God inscribing a circle on the surface of the waters at the boundary between light and darkness. Such a boundary is called the terminator, where light stops. The terminator is the location on Earth where people are seeing either a sunrise or a sunset. A terminator can only be a circle on Earth’s oceans if the Earth is spherical. Many other scientific proofs are available. In fact, people have known that the Earth is round since very ancient times. We will look at some of these in detail in an upcoming article. The point here is that we know biblically and scientifically that the Earth is round. So why would any Christian deny this fact? biblicalscienceinstitute.com/apologetics/a-round-earth-natural-selection-and-dinosaurs/

@moments_peace The scientific method is not a biblical institute. Not sure why you have changed topics. What happened to your claim that earth is a sphere causing you to not be able to see Polaris? 😆

@@tbrown3356 Dr. Jason Lisle is a Bible believing Christian astrophysicist who has proven that the earth is round with simple examples on his website which is called the biblical science Institute. The word science means knowledge. It is entirely biblical to study the world that God created and derive conclusions based on our observations. The resurrection of Jesus Christ utilizes historical testimony to confirm this is an event that has been proven beyond the shadow of a doubt. Regarding the view of the Northstar from Australia, that is simply a clear, observational fact that the Earth is round because you cannot view the north star from the southern hemisphere because of the curvature of the earth. The curvature of the earth can be measured. This should be noncontroversial and not debatable, but yet here we are.

Hey Michelle! Thank you so much for your encouragement!! It was a blessing to wake up to such kind encouraging words! You are a blessing! Randy was awesome to talk to! He has a lot of wisdom as you know! We are so thankful you have been encouraged to keep strong in fighting the good fight of faith. You are so right that there are many homeschoolers but not many committed to true discipleship homeschoolers. But it’s encouraging and beautiful that there are others who understand our responsibility and duty to actively raise up our kids to know Christ. Jesus will bless our laboring for him and promises that His word will not come back void. Our kids are not perfect and of course have their struggles like any of us but God has been so gracious to our family! MB resources have really aided us in discipling our kids for him. The Word of God, the apologetic resources and curriculum from MB have been a huge part of our lives to know Christ, grow in our faith, and defend it. I truly believe the MB courses get better with high school. When you set good boundaries, expectations, and atmosphere/routines when the kids are younger it’s so much easier in the high school years. The high school years is when you do see the fruit of all that you sowed. Of course, I wish I could have been better at this looking back but again God is still faithful even when we feel like we fall short. The high school years have the best discussions! Jesus works with us being faithful and He really does do the rest. Keep on doing what you are doing. I think it’s normal to feel doubt in different stages but if the Lord has led you here remember this: Isaiah 30:21 And your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, “This is the way, walk in it,” when you turn to the right or when you turn to the left. Mike is very thankful for your encouragement!! You are so right about godly fathers and this culture! They need more encouragement because I think it can feel very lonely for men too. It’s so encouraging though that even though we are not in the same area we share the same heart and mindset for the Lord and raising children for him. I honestly think that is one of the main reasons the MB app community is so unique and special, we all have that heart for discipleship. It’s truly one of a kind online community! ❤️ Thank you again Michelle!! May the Lord continue to bless and strengthen you as you work hard as a wife, mama,homemaker and teacher for his glory!!

This is Scientology not biblical cosmology.

You need to back that statement up.

@@moments_peace you need to pray for discernment. Nothing in the Bible says we live on a spinning water ball. God created this glorious earth fixed and unmovable. Many Christians are blind to the truth of our realm. Heliocentric belief is an inversion of the word of God.

Yes it is. Discernment needed there too.

I did know that. Glad you questioned this. Very good to know.

I respectfully disagree. Dr. Lisle rejects the Big Bang and is not deceiving anyone. He is a solid Christian and so are we.

@@moments_peace you can’t have both. Biblical cosmology points to a fixed and unmovable earth. Heliocentric belief is a satanic creation that inverts the word of God. Real eyes realize real lies. Dr. Lisle is a liar.

@@moments_peace you can’t have the Bible and believe in heliocentric science. Your dr. Lisle is not telling you the truth. You have to have discernment to understand.

True but it is a hermeneutic and apologetic issue. Can we rightly divide the word and defend the faith when believing this?

@@moments_peace 100% Just like we debate every day Calvist Vs Armenian

It can be an in-house debate, but I would put soteriology above the shape of the earth as far as importance of discussion.

@@moments_peace agreed. That's how not important it is to salvation.

@@moments_peace There are many who hold to a flat earth that do not argue that the bible supports it explicitly or otherwise. So it would not be a hermeneutic issue for many.

I did! We are wrapping up. I ended up just dedicating Wednesdays to the geography/president part and that worked out a lot better. We did notebooking style and added the timeline pics and events in those notebooks. About once a quarter my kids did a presentation on a President, state, or one historical event that we had just studied. Some even made a state recipe for dinner. We watched KZbin, historical movies or documentaries every other Friday or when sick. The reading was manageable for four days aloud with notebooking narrations. My younger ones did oral or drew narrations or I helped them. They did enjoy cutting and pasting the timeline pics into their notebooks. I did assign other living books with a deadline anywhere from 2-4 weeks for my older students. Overall it went well and it’s doable but some planning and looking over things ahead of time and making copies of the timeline for each student is required. I did start to skip things in the American Story books that would say “let’s pretend” because I have older students. But that wasn’t a lot in the books. Other than that it was good! Hope this helps.

Thank you for being here and for your encouragement!
