Zombies

If you're a female and you don't get enough sleep, you can choose to look like a zombie, or like a pretty zombie.

Since most males don't wear makeup, they don't have this choice.

Then again, since society doesn't hold males to the same standards it holds females, males don't have to wonder at all about whether they resemble zombies.

Rentmeesterschap, 1 Sept, Crossroads, Arjan U.

Wij mogen uitzoeken wat de wensen van de Eigenaar zijn. God is een gevende God; wij mogen ook geven.

"Ik begon het minder te zien alsof God dingen van me afpakte, en meer dat het met vreugde mee te maken had."

Niet passief of uit schuldgevoel ...

Because we are home. And whatever the USA or Poland or other countries used to be to us, they're not home now.

USA History Unit Study

USA History Unit Study We've just finished a nearly-year-long focus on Dutch history. I was impressed with the range and depth of the Dutch canon of 50 major events, which gave us plenty to explore. From the first monolithic tombs in 3000BC to artists like Rembrandt, from scientists like Christiaan Huygens to the World Wars, and from Van Gogh crafts to heavier subjects like racism- it has been a good history year! To finish up the school year, I'm planning a 6 week unit study on U.S. History. (As the kids get older we may do a full year on it, and I'm thinking of doing another round of World History in another year or two.) I wasn't able to find the equivalent of the Dutch canon, so instead I looked at broad historical eras in the USA as a backbone. Of the 9-12 most often used, I'm just choosing 6, 1 per week, based on resources and applicability to the age and level of my kids. For example we could focus on the Cold War - but that's not going to work as well a...
