Well met, homeschoolers! I hope you are ready for another fun-filled day of learning and growing in the Lord. Today we are going to take yet another trip through time. This time we are going to visit scientists, artists, philosophers, and more. The Renaissance was a time of great cultural progression and expression. Starting in Italy, the movement quickly spread throughout Northern Europe. Let’s visit those creative days together.

Good morning my homeschooled friends. I hope you had a restful weekend and are ready for another week of learning and growing. This weekend I visited the city that never sleeps, the Big Apple, the Capitol of the World: New York City! I couldn’t believe how big it was. I ended up spending the entire day in Central Park, enjoying the cool breeze and fall colors. I’d like to share some of the things I discovered there with you today.

Hello to all my homeschooling friends! On this blustery Friday morning we will escape the harsh winds and head down under the earth into the warm, musty caves of America. Put on your spelunking helmet, grab an ice pick and look out for low-hanging stalactites (or is that stalagmites?) I guess we’ll have to look it up! Today we are going to learn about the earth upon which we live. Remember kids, there are a lot of scientists who believe that the earth is billions of years old. We at The Jubilee Academy don’t believe this because it contradicts the truth we find in the Bible. Be careful when you search the internet for information and always check the information you find against God’s Word. Let’s start digging!
