2024 – 2025 Homeschool Planning

Published on by Susie @ Pollywog's Place Blog3 Comments

There are so many ways to go about planning out a school year but this is the easiest way I have found for me to do this as we don’t use any one site or curriculum. I am usually gathering materials and ideas throughout the year so I try to jot them down or put them in a special place until I am ready to sit down and plan out what we would like to use.

Douglas Talks – Bible Lessons for Kids

Published on by Susie @ Pollywog's Place BlogLeave a comment

I always try to post links to things that we find helpful in our daily lives and this is one YouTube channel that we go back to a lot as my kids really enjoy listening to the lessons that they have.

Douglas Talks is a green puppet who loves explaining the Bible to kids in a fun and entertaining way. My kids can really relate to some of the stories that he tells and it really helps them to understand the message a lot better.

Check out Douglas Talks on YouTube!

They have a huge variety of videos on Bible topics like the 10 commandments, the Beatitudes, and holidays, plus many more. I recently discovered that they also have a website dedicated to this amazing little puppet.

I really enjoyed learning about the story behind the creation of Douglas Talks as well. Why don’t you check them out really quick and see what you think? You might just learn something too!

This year has been busy already and I’ve been on a mission to get a little more organized… I really NEED the organization and simplified routines that we had before. I spent a little time and revamped my planning sheets for our Home Binder so I thought I’d share them with you.
