Here is the FREE printable, if you’d like to join us:

Homeschool Summits: Under God: A 1776 Celebration Summit

This year, the USA is celebrating its 250th birthday.

Why do we care?

We care about the USA’s 250th birthday, because we believe that the United States of America was founded on Christian principles, standing as a light for freedom and hope around the world. It is an imperfect, but radiant nation; a testament to the blessing of God on a flawed but faith-filled people. It’s a joy to celebrate the birthday of a good land!

We care about the USA’s 250th birthday, because we believe that we honor our Creator by remembering His hand in our history, so that we can set our hope in Him for the future.

“We will not hide them from their children, but tell to the coming generation the glorious deeds of the Lord, and his might, and the wonders that he has done… so that they should set their hope in God and not forget the works of God, but keep his commandments.” (Psalm 78:4,7)

Stories of Don Quixote Quiz and Answer Key

We just finished reading through this book about the hilarious misadventures of this deranged gentleman turned knight errant, and needed a Quiz to add to our grades. This quiz works well with the version of Don Quixote written for kids (James Baldwin) but it should also work with the novel written by Miguel de Cervantes.

We have been using the lesson from Under the Home, but the audio book versions are not currently working. The site still has lots of useful information and lesson plans though! We were able to find the audio version on YouTube as well.
