RAW NECESSITIES TO START YOUR HOME SCHOOL

RAW NECESSITIES TO START YOUR HOME SCHOOL

By Daneille Gray Snowden

For anyone who has been in the public school arena or has had a child in school;  you are well acquainted with the little supply sheet of paper that teachers put out in the late summer, listing the supplies needing to purchased for their future student.

As a veteran home school teacher of 18 years now; I can tell you of the supplies that have been attained in time have proven quite beneficial. Other supplies were well, let me say it as gently as I can...foolish! But, you live and you learn.

I just picked up and used a little tool just now for one of my students lesson planner. This was a 3-hole puncher. Your child will have folders galore as well as make little note book lessons. This is what inspired me to just type out a little list for my new teacher sisters!

My objective is to help out the beginning home school teacher, supplying her with a little list to prepare her school for the coming year. 

ITEMS

Flag   [Small one is all you need. We have had all sizes.]

Bible

Libary Card   [Use your library!  Likely  the top 3 resources for home schooling. Your kiddos will be so tickled to have their very own card too.]

3-hole puncher

Scotch tape  [Don't leave the store without it.]

Rulers [Those cheap wood one's are good enough. Just have a lot.]

Supply Boxes  [For crayons, pencils, markers...]

Scissors  [This is another item that tends to turn up missing. Having a few never hurts. + don't forget you will definitely need a good pair as well.]

Stapler  [A good sturdy one and a couple cheap one's is plenty.]

Find a Wall Hand Crank Pencil Sharpener  [We went through 2 electric, pencils are not what they use to be and a lot of sharpening will be happening. The electric one's burn up quickly. At least they did for us. ]

Obvious: Crayons, Markers, Coloring Pencils, Pencils (don't buy cheap--off brands do not last or portray good quality work. Pencils work better, the off brand tend to break constantly.

GLUE  [Elmer's is your best! Regular glue, and buy lots of stick glue: stick glue is excellent for your 'laptop books'.]

PAPER   [Wide rem for younger students.] 

Bundle Paper  [If you are able to go to your local newspaper; they usually give away small (to us big) rolls of newspaper paper. For years we have used these for large time lines, crafts, and even wrapped presents.]

Construction Paper    

Cardboard Paper   [Start off with a few, as the year goes along different lessons will call for more.]

Small White or Chalk Board   [Mostly for the younger years.]

White Out   [I want to laugh at this one, just because of the countless times I have had to use this for all kinds of reasons. I would purchase used curriculum that would have the answer in it. Low in funds...I just whited out the answers. Having 3 students and each have used their siblings books...white out came in handy there as well too.]

Pens    [As the teacher you will need them, your child will eventually be picking them up as well and using them. Younger years, I never allowed this--with a pencil you can erase your mistakes!]

Eraser's    [Buy the little ones to go on the pencils, the pencil erasers break. 1 large one per student will last possibly a couple years.]

FOR ART

This is something that you may have to purchase on and off through out the year. I listed enough essentials to begin art with but here a few to keep in your  art cubby.

Popsicle sticks   [Find them in a nice size box of 100 to 500.]

Pipe Cleaners

Glitter

Paints  [Tempera paints are you best all around for children. They are quite reasonable. If you go to a craft, art or school supply you can find the bottles that are powder. They do last a long time. The larger discount stores mainly supple the tempera paints already liquefied. That is fine. The best bang for your buck is the powder.]

Paint Brushes  [For children, at least in the younger years the little packages with different sizes is just fine. But, as they get older...better quality and finer/thinner brushes are needed. Yet, this is also when you step into acrylic paints.]

Art Aprons  [Use an old shirt...really- buying silly stuff like that is a waste of $$.]

Googly Eyes, Stickers, Beads, ....etc. 

Clay & Play Dough   [We did come to the place we made our own home made play dough. Home made was better for us.]

    I want to encourage you to attend a home school convention. Not just for the important seminars that will knock your socks off! But, the  vendor hall is LOADED with so much. You will also discover neat ideas to accentuate your home school. You know your child best, thus when you walk around look, touch and even 'try-out' some items; I do guarantee you that your child's school will then be supplied with fun & unique items. 

  

HISTORY OF GREAT REVIVALS IN CHRISTIANITY UNIT STUDY

  
 Why do we need a revival? Let me ask this, why do we need to breath, eat and why does a child need to grow? TO LIVE! Be complete in the Life with in the Kingdom of God. According to history, the great reformation tended to sparkle at the beginning of the centuries.  Irregardless, my heart is yearning for God to breakthrough the slumber of the church and shake us awake once again. I am praying for prayer warriors, one's who are willing to truly fast and pray (not to just go on a diet)-but grasp the objectiveness of God's church to arise and be what He intended. He intended us to live a life of fullness (fulfillment); which cultivates contentment in who we are in Him! I felt led to put this Revival Study together at first for my home school students and possibly our church body. But, I hope this just spurs a desire for all believers to see the hearts of those God used in the revivals of the past. So much so...that we will encounter a revival of the present!  Daneille G. Snowden

------------------------------------------

9th & 5th grade students-posing front
of their folders.

-Begin by creating a folder that will have dividers. Decorate with scriptures references of revival. Maybe print off clip art of famous preachers and places. I am designing this unit study for a 5th grader, a high schooler as well as adults. The students will have assignments accordingly. 

Now the back of their folders.

Revival [In dictionary] "Restoration to life, consciousness, vigor, strength, an awakening." [dictionary.com] 
                From Spurgeon: "The word "revive" wears its meaning upon its forehead; it is from the Latin, and may be interpreted thus—to live again, to receive again a life which has almost expired; to rekindle into a flame the vital spark which was nearly extinguished."

He returned to Chicago with a new vision: preaching the Kingdom of God, not social work, would change the world. He now devoted his immense energies solely to the "evangelization of the world in this generation." [http://www.christianitytoday.com/ch/131christians/evangelistsandapologists/moody.html]

The tenants required renouncing of all doubtful behavior, harboring no unforgiveness, unquestioning obedience to the Spirit of God, and public testimonies to the work of God.
Prayer meetings sprung up everywhere. Conviction of sin was so strong that taverns emptied with men leaving their drinks behind as they were gripped with a holy fear. Soccer stadiums were emptied because everyone was at the revival. Police had nothing to do because crime had completely stopped and the jails were empty. Virtually all debts were paid in the entire nation. Horses and mules had to be trained to respond to different commands because they had become accustomed to responding to curses. Now no one dared curse in all of Wales out of a fear of God! [http://wba108yahoocom.hubpages.com/hub/Revival-in-Wales#]

QUOTES:

"Anyone who has studied past Revivals will tell you that above all 
else, it is the key elements of repentance and also heart-rending,
Spirit-fired prayer that first lead to Revival, and then keep the 
flame burning on.  As Matthew Henry stated, "When God intends great 
mercy for His people, the first thing He does is set them a-praying." 

Andrew Strom

-------------------

"In the Welsh Revival of 1904 under Evan Roberts, the entire nation was literally 
transformed, with HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS converted in a matter of 
a few months in this tiny nation. And it was all through prayer 
and repentance."

----------------------

"The keys to these past Revivals seemed to be deep repentance

and this kind of 'wrestling, agonizing' prayer for the outpouring of 
God's Spirit."

----------------------------

From History of Revivals   by Geoff Waugh

http://www.holytrinitynewrochelle.org/yourti18132.html

Scripture gives a constant call for individual and communal repentance issuing in righteousness and justice. 

Wilbur Smith notes seven revivals in the Old Testament in addition to the one with Jonah. These revivals involved:
1. Jacob's household (Genesis 35),

2. Asa (2 Chronicles)

3. Joash (2 Kings)

4. Hezekiah 

5. Josiah 

6. Haggai and Zechariah with Zerubbabel 

7. Ezra with Nehemiah 

He noted nine characteristics of these revivals:
1. They occurred in times of moral darkness and national depression;
2. Each began in the heart of a consecrated servant of God who became the energising power behind it;
3. Each revival rested on the Word of God, and most were the result of proclaiming God's Word with power;
4. All resulted in a return to the worship of God;
5. Each witnessed the destruction of idols where they existed;
6. In each revival, there was a recorded separation from sin;
7. In every revival the people returned to obeying God's laws;
8. There was a restoration of great joy and gladness;
9. Each revival was followed by a period of national prosperity.
