<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: left;">
Hey, y'all! It has been a while since our last chat. I pray that you are all in good health! I wanted to send you some encouragement, because with all that is going on in the world with COVID-19, there's a lot of fear and worrying that has been stirred up. I put together this scripture plan for you to find comfort in the Lord's Word. Please join me as I read a verse or two in Psalms each day. Read and pray daily for a peace that only God can give. I love you all and hope you find comfort in these scriptures.<br>

It's good for keeping up with your children's schedule, planning out your school year, creating a way for your children to go in and check to see what they currently need to turn into you, and even creating a high school transcript! I am sure you want to hear ALL about it. Well, go grab your coffee, your pen, your notebook, and a cup of coffee. </span><br>

Many of you are getting ready to start your new school year and some of you have already started. I am somewhere in between. I decided to stain our school room floor so that put us back a week. We should be starting soon, hopefully. Anyway, that's not what I am here for, I am actually here because it is Free Resource Friday. Today's Free Resource is a full curriculum.<br>

<span style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">I cannot believe that we are already starting to prepare our oldest son for high school. He will be starting 8th grade in the Fall. To help him make a smooth transition he will be required to start working more independently this year. Since the beginning of our homeschooling journey, he has been a part of what we call group work, which is just the combined learning of Science, History, Bible, Art, and Music as a family. So, he will now branch out and start doing his Science independently. </span><span class="Apple-converted-space" style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;"><span style="color: #454545;"> </span><b><span style="color: blue;"><a href="https://www.apologia.com/" target="_blank">Apologia</a></span></b><span style="color: #454545;"> recently released their </span></span><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 22.6667px;"><b><span style="color: blue;"><a href="https://www.apologia.com/product/apologia-basic-set-general-science-3rd-edition/" target="_blank">Exploring Creation with General Science, 3rd Edition</a></span></b><span style="color: #454545;">.

Simply Music is an online piano curriculum designed to teach kids how to play piano by ear. We received the <b><span style="color: blue;"><a href="https://pianoonline.com/" target="_blank">Music & Creativity - Foundation Course</a></span></b>, which teaches you the basics of how to play, in exchange for our honest review. All of my kids enjoy music and we have introduced instruments in the past, however, they have never learned how to play by ear. My oldest daughter was blessed with a Keyboard for Christmas last year and has been wanting to learn how to play. She and her younger sister has watched several YouTube videos, but nothing has been concrete, therefore, we were pretty excited to give Simply Music a try. <br>

All around us we see people just spend, spend, spend, and go into debt. This is not the way of living we want our children to adapt to, so we started discussing these things with them at a young age. Our oldest son started showing more interest in spending money about a year or so ago. He knows how hard my husband works to provide for us, so he is very careful with how he approaches his dad when asking for things. He began working with my husband at the age of 12 and saved his money to buy an iPad. During the time he was working and saving he made sure he paid tithes. This was something he started doing on his own without being asked because he had watched my husband do it for so many years he knew it was something he needed to do. We were so proud of him! Soon his job came to an end because there was no more work. He asked his dad if he could start his own business. My husband and I were both shocked but knew this was something he wanted to do. He wanted to make money just like his father. The opportunity for us to review <b><span style="color: blue;"><a href="https://thekingdomcode.com/products/" target="_blank">The Complete Starter Kit</a></span></b> from <b><span style="color: blue;"><a href="https://thekingdomcode.com/" target="_blank">The Kingdom Code</a></span></b> could not have come at a better time! This curriculum is designed to help teach children how to make and manage money in a Biblical way. It is helping us help our son learn that there's more to entrepreneurship than making money. Go grab your cup of coffee or tea, a notebook, and something to write with so we can tell you all about our experience with The Kingdom Code.<br>

<br>
<br>
Can y'all believe we are already near the summer? I'm still trying to figure out where did the time go. Although we school year round here at Cooks Christian Academy, our summers are lighter. I like to make sure they are still learning something but without a lot of book work. The kids recently spent some time brushing up on their typing and math skills with <a href="http://www.edalive.com/" target="_blank">EdAlive</a>. We received a one-year subscription to their <a href="https://www.typingtournament.com/" target="_blank">Typing Tournament Online</a> and <a href="https://www.mathsinvaders.com/" target="_blank">Maths Invaders Online</a> in exchange for our honest review. Using the Typing Tournament has been like having a Typing Tutor in our home and Math Invaders has been a great way for them to get some extra math practice in. Go grab your coffee or tea and come sit with us for a while so that we can tell you all about them.<br>

Did you know college credits may be earned through CLEP and DSST testing? I did not learn that until I started preparing my oldest daughter for high school. Like you can actually test out of college classes and receive the credit. That blew my mind! You mean to tell me that I spent, and still spending money on student loans to pay for classes that I could have tested out of? Well, like the saying goes if you know better you will do better. I will help my children do better if college is the route they decide to take. We received a 3-month subscription to the <b><span style="color: blue;"><a href="https://study.com/clep/index.html" target="_blank">CLEP</a></span></b> and <b><span style="color: blue;"><a href="https://study.com/dsst/index.html" target="_blank">DSST</a></span></b> prep materials from <b><span style="color: blue;"><a href="http://study.com/">Study.com</a></span></b> in exchange for our honest review.

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Have you ever read a book that was not a genre you would normally be interested in, but then found yourself flipping page after page with excitement, anxiously waiting to see what would happen next? Well, that has been me with our latest read aloud! I am normally not a fan of young adult fiction or fantasy books, however, when the opportunity arose for us to review <span style="color: blue; font-weight: bold;"><a href="https://www.hamelinstoop.com/buy-the-book/" target="_blank">The Hamelin Stoop Series</a>, </span>I decided to give it a try. First, let me just say that I am so glad I did! We received <span style="color: blue;">Hamelin Stoop: The Eagle, The Cave, and the Footbridge (Book 1) </span>and <span style="color: blue;">Hamelin Stoop: The Lost Princess and the Jewel of Periluna (Book 2)</span> in exchange for our honest review. Both books are published by <b><span style="color: blue;"><a href="https://www.hamelinstoop.com/" target="_blank">12 Gates Publishing</a>. </span></b> Normally I would be giving you guys the review, but my oldest daughter enjoyed the first book so much (she is just about to start book 2) that she asked if she could tell y'all about it. I will check in later to add my two cents. </span><br>

Today, I just want to encourage you to encourage your daughters! There are so many influences out there in the world, so many trends to follow, and don't let me get started on the social media world. My oldest daughter made a post last week about <b><span style="color: blue;"><a href="https://mylifeasmrscooks.blogspot.com/2019/04/teen-talk-with-kaela-stay-true-to-you.html" target="_blank">staying true to you</a></span></b> and she doesn't even realize how much that post blessed me. I remember being the girl at school trying to fit in with the crowd, changing who I was just to feel accepted! That is something I never wanted my girls to go through. So I make sure as their mom, to pray for them and let them know daily that they are each known, loved, and accepted.<br>

Hey, y'all! It's Kaela and I'm back with another post. This one, in particular, has been something I've been wanting to talk about but wasn't quite sure how to put it. This is really great for teens so if you have any I'm sure they'll enjoy it wholeheartedly.<br>

<br>
I don't know about the children in your house, but the ones over here love science. Well, I mean they never complain about it and they are always trying to create some concoction out of something. They will dig up worms, create mud puddles, and just get gross with the things God created. They love learning about God's creations. So, although we were in the middle of another Science Curriculum I was happy to review <b><span style="color: blue;"><a href="https://crosswiredscience.com/general-info-cws/" target="_blank">Sound, and Fluid Dynamics</a></span></b> from <b><span style="color: blue;"><a href="https://crosswiredscience.com/" target="_blank">CrossWired Science</a></span></b>. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
If you have been looking for a self-grading, online-based science curriculum taught from a Christian standpoint this is it! It can be used for children ages 4 all the way to 18 years old. I hope you already have your cup of coffee or tea, notepad, and pen becuase I am about to tell you all about it.<br>

How is life? We are just about settled in our new place, finally. Most of you have been asking and waiting for me to talk more about high school well, today is your lucky day!</span><br>
<span style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">As a homeschool mom of two teens, I get asked on several occasions how I do it. A few of the things most people want to know is how do I create a transcript, how do I organize their paperwork, how do I choose their classes, etc. Most of the time my answer is always the same, "Girl, we are learning as we go because I have no idea. However, Pinterest has a plethora of things." </span><br>
<span style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;">Well, moving forward I will have more concrete answers! As part of the Homeschool Review Crew, I was blessed to be able to review </span><span style="color: blue; font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;"><b><a href="https://everyday-education.com/product/transcripts/" target="_blank">Transcripts Made Easy: The Homeschooler's Guide to High-School Paperwork</a></b></span><span style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17pt;"><span style="color: #454545;">, written by Janice Campbell and published by </span><b><span style="color: blue;"><a href="https://everyday-education.com/" target="_blank">Everyday Education</a></span></b><span style="color: #454545;">. </span></span><br>
