mom31257 Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 Ds is using ACSI's 4th grade spelling (older edition). This week's words are studying "ie" and "ei" spellings, and one of the words is receive. ACSI is good about having sections that deal with reading scripture and applying it. There was a whole section on receiving gifts and the gift of salvation from God. It all lead to ds crying and telling me he wasn't sure if he was saved or not. We discussed it, prayed, and even got Daddy involved. It was a special time. I know some don't like to used Christian school curriculum because it's too much like regular school, but I'm so thankful I had the opportunity to help ds know his faith is secure. You never know what even a spelling lesson can do in a child's life! Blessings!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PentecostalMom Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 I love this... thank you for sharing. Awww, that's wonderful! :) :iagree: Awesome! It's things like this that make homeschooling all the more worthwhile. Even if he had been at a school that used these materials, the odds of him having this reaction and being that expressive in a classroom setting are probably slim (I say that not knowing your ds). I am so happy for all of you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homeschooling6 Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Okay, I'm so out of the loop these days :D. What is ACSI? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mom31257 Posted October 26, 2012 Author Share Posted October 26, 2012 Okay, I'm so out of the loop these days :D. What is ACSI? It is a curricula published by the Association of Christian Schools, a big Christian school accrediting organization. I am actually using an older edition than their current one because I found it for a good price and liked the looks of the book. They have several subjects of curricula available through Christian Book and other companies like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
