How I Use Artifacts to Teach History

Saturday March 22, 2025 4:20pm - 5:10pm EDT

204

Some children (and adults) grasp the stories and meaning of history more easily with the aid of “material culture.” Artifacts of the past tell us much about the lives of our ancestors, as well as specific events of history. Join me in examining a few examples from my personal collection and thinking through how you can improve your history teaching effectiveness with photos, objects, and unusual artifacts. The archeology of the past sometimes provides the only clues to reconstructing lives

Not What I Had Planned

Saturday March 22, 2025 4:20pm - 5:10pm EDT

Jr. Ballroom

As homeschool parents we spend a lot of time and energy making plans for our students, our days, our homes—our lives! And that’s good. But what do you do when your plans are interrupted? In April 2024 Sonya was diagnosed with breast cancer, and life suddenly didn’t look anything like she had planned. As she floundered through the next several months, God graciously met her where she was and reassured her that this unexpected bend in the road was not a surprise to Him. In fact, He had planned this part of her story all along. In this session she will share spiritual truth and practical ideas for when you walk through uncertain times and are challenged to let go of your plans and trust God’s plans.

Theology of the Holy Spirit in Your Homeschool

Saturday March 22, 2025 4:20pm - 5:10pm EDT

Gem City

We know that leading little hearts is hard. Overwhelming, even! There are days we just can't do it -- because without a supernatural help, it's impossible. Thankfully we have been given that supernatural Helper in the form of the Holy Spirit! But many Christian parents have not been taught a strong theology of the Spirit: what it means to walk in step with Him, hear His voice, and allow Him to lead their parenting. This session will look at the biblical theology of the Spirit and include practical steps for living under His influence with our kids.
