We started Window on the World last week, which is a book that takes you through many different countries, teaching you about the geography, people groups, and how to pray specifically for them. It was an amazing addition to our history and geography studies. As we sat around discussing Judaism and praying for Israel, tears came to my eyes. This is what I love about homeschooling. I love the connection to the nations we get to make for our children. I love that discussing geography turns into heartfelt prayer for people groups to come to know Christ. Homeschooling can be tough and tiring and thankless, but then there are these moments-- when you know it is all worth it!





We have already had a few curriculum switches this year (more to come about that in another post!) ;) But while history plans are switching, we will continue with Window on the World. Our plan is to coordinate Window on the World with our Biblioplan studies, studying and praying for one country each week. My kids are very hands on and enjoy anything they can color or craft, and I am a fan of narrations so I created this notebooking page (regular lines) (Handwriting without Tears lines). I plan to cut the page in half and make a prayer book with them for the kids to flip through and pray for the people groups even as the year continues and we "move on." I also purchased these flag stickers from Rainbow Resources.

I coordinated the chapters to Story of the World 2 with the first 25 weeks of Sonlight Core C along with other supplements here, but I thought I would make a chart available just for those wanting just the coordinating SOTW 2 chapters. We are only coordinating SOTW 2 not book 3 so it ends at week 25. We will spread the SOTW chapters out so they are not so stacked in the beginning, but it helps to know where they line up. Also, my kids will be listening to is as an audio while coloring or doing other hands on activities. Chapters in parenthesis do not line up exactly or are added material to what SL covers that week.

There is much debate about what is an "open and go" curriculum. There is no such thing in our homeschool! We are using a Sonlight core for the first time this year and I created a chart with supplemental activities and the Story of the World 2 chapters coordinated for each week. If everything is not printed and ready to go, I know it has a tendency to not get done around here. So today I sat down with all those printed pages and organized! 



Target had portfolio folders for $.15 so it seemed the best way to go. I bought 36 of them and labeled them Week 1-36.



Then I filled each week with the coloring pages, crafts, and notebooking pages I had printed. I then took the first 6 weeks of the SL core C IG and placed it in a separate binder to make it more manageable. Adding our list of supplemental activities, of course! Each 6 weeks I will update the small binder. I also put the schedule in a sheet protector so I can write on it with a dry erase marker and keep the original clean. 





And now we are ready for a fantastic year with Sonlight!

We are planning to use Sonlight Core C/  the second part of World History next year. Anyone who knows me knows that I cannot do anything as is, and thought I would share some of the supplements: crafts, coloring pages, websites, and notebooking pages I have found. I am not finished, but will update as I go, just wanted to go ahead and make it available for those who are planning like me!
