You may have noticed in Practicum this summer and throughout the Foundations Curriculum, Fifth Edition, that we are placing a renewed focus on simplicity in the Foundations years. Leigh Bortins says in her introductory letter on page three that she has the same words of advice as she did twenty years ago…

Enjoy these precious years with your young children.

Delight in their continual discoveries of new truths about God’s world.

Praise them for working hard to memorize and recite His truths.

Join the Foundations Academic Team as they walk through some pages of the Foundations Curriculum, Fifth Edition and discuss enjoying the years, delighting in discoveries, and praising students.

Number the Stars invites you into a family, a friendship and an adventure amid the circumstances of the Holocaust. Listen to why this novel was chosen for our Challenge A audience to discuss themes of truth, goodness and beauty in an appropriate way during their season of life. Discover how this novel can spark valuable discussion between you and your child.

Enjoy a conversation among friends. Listen to an intriguing discussion of Harper Lee’s book, To Kill a Mockingbird. Lisa Bailey and Julie Dickens explore the complexity of the story line, the depth of character development as well as the symbolism of the “Mockingbird.” The theme of social injustice permeates the book and is carefully considered. Have you ever thought about how reading thought provoking literature prepares us and our children to face situations? Come join this conversation!

What value can be found in a book with such an odd title?   C. S. Lewis’s epistolary work of fiction has been lauded as a “must read” in spiritual works and yet is at times laughably entertaining. Is this combination possible? Listen and judge for yourself.

Why do students study short stories in Challenge B? And why is “The Necklace” a story that is enjoyed on so many different levels by students and adults? This tale, with its surprise ending, opens our eyes to the importance of how the desires of our heart can change the course of our life in an inkling. How can a character be so self-absorbed in her own beauty and worldly desires yet rise to play the part of a hero? Listen as we discuss this timeless story.

Enjoy this insightful article as Kathy Sheppard helps us see the wonderful benefits of sticking with the study of Latin.
