I am going to do a 3 year cycle through history. And then repeat that cycle a couple of times. And I'm going to go ahead and start that cycle with Kindergarten. So, this is week number 1, and we started at the beginning, of course :) The things that are italicized are because there are links at the bottom, that go into a more detailed description. We'll see how this week goes. Hopefully I didn't plan too much for each day. We will also use many more books than I have listed. I just wanted a jumping off point for where to look in the library. When we actually do this week, I'll post more details about how it goes and what we do, and actual books and other things we end up using.

...I've gotta tell you about something. It's an illustration/story/lesson idea I learned at a homeschooling convention this past weekend. The guy suggests using a mirror and a flashlight in a dark room when telling about the creation of the moon and sun. Then, also comparing that with how *we* are to reflect the light of Jesus. (We=moon; Jesus=sun)
