Foundational Hymns for the Christian Home

By guest author Marcia Washburn

The theme for the upcoming Rocky Mountain Homeschool Conference is “Christ the Cornerstone.” As you prepare your family for the messages you will hear, consider studying some of the great hymns of the faith that speak of the firm foundation of the Christian faith.

Every generation contributes its own hymns and spiritual songs.

A hymn isn’t great merely because it is old, and a praise song is not great simply because it is new and fresh. Evaluate each song or hymn on its own merits: Does it lead believers to worship? Is it theologically sound? Does it have enough depth of insight to encourage the singer to “chew” on it, deriving deeper meanings with repeated hearings?

God’s model for education is discipleship. Bringing Papa home was a great opportunity for our daughters to learn from him, given the wisdom of his years. Papa was a prisoner of war during World War II, and he would often tell us around the dinner table about his experiences during that time.

How to Do Your Best on Math and Science Exams

by guest author Dr. Christian Seberino

All students want to do excellent on math and science exams. All parents want their kids to do well too. There is a century of scientific studies on how to do that. These studies show that the two best strategies are taking advantage of simulated testing and the spacing effect.

There are many methods used to absorb material in math and science classes: highlighting, rereading, summarizing, etc. In general, most students will benefit the most by taking advantage of simulated testing and the spacing effect. The motive of this article is not to eliminate all other techniques. The motive is to encourage students to make these two methods the largest part of their process.
