We Choose Virtues {review:take 2} & Giveaway!



This past year our family was introduced to We Choose Virtues and I have shared with you before about this curriculum.  I am really excited to share more with you today (and also a giveaway!).  


I was thrilled to receive a set of their faith-based parenting cards.  These cards are made from high-quality heavy paper and are nicely sized (8.5"x5.5").  The full-color front of the card features a kid from *Virtueville* along with a virtue, a catchphrase to help you remember the virtue, and also a Bible verse to help reinforce the virtue.  The back of the card (especially for the parent) includes a "virtue user challenge" for the whole family, teachable moments ideas, and even an "what to say after 'I'm sorry'" section to encourage proper correction.  These cards are available for $34.99.

We Choose Virtues uses 3 main icons to teach virtues: a caterpillar, a butterfly, and a magnifying glass.  The caterpillar simply means there is room for improvement: "I don't have to stay the same, I am born to change".  The butterfly stands for making the right choice to choose virtue.  And the magnifying glass says "I will never stop looking for the virtue in you".   


These icons really come into play with the next product we received from We Choose Virtues: 100 Days of Virtue Chart with Butterfly Stickers.  This poster is also made from high-quality paper and measures 11"x17".  This chart will help your family have a great visual reminder of how they are doing on growing in virtue.  As your children are showing growth in different virtues you simply place a butterfly sticker over the appropriate caterpillar to show they are growing and changing.  When all of the caterpillars have transformed into butterflies you will have achieved 100 days of virtue!  That's definitely cause for celebration!  This chart is available for $13.99.


This is their Kids Virtue Poster, which retails for $14.99.  It measures 11"x17" and it, too, is printed on heavy, high-quality paper.  It has all 12 of the virtues this program focuses on along with their catchphrases.  I love how colorful it is!  It's a great way to have a reminder hanging around to reinforce having virtue.  


My children are benefiting so much from learning about virtues.  This is a daily process in our home--for me, as well.  We all need to be reminded about certain virtues sometimes, don't we?  Even though the target age for this curriculum is Early Education through Elementary, I believe that all families can benefit from it.  I am so pleased with all of the products I have seen from We Choose Virtues.  This product was developed by people who love children and truly desire to see them grow their best potential.  I hope you will take the time to visit their website and learn more about their products.  


We Choose Virtues has shared a special promotional code that you can use when checking out your purchase on their site: VIRTUE20.  When you use this code you will receive 20% off of your shopping cart!

The Making of an Egyptian Death Mask

We are learning all about the ancient world this year with Story of the World I and loving it! We've been learning a lot about Egypt, of course, which is completely fascinating. Most recently we have studied the New Kingdom of Egypt, which includes the story of King Tut. So we decided making an Egyptian death mask in the style of King Tut's would be a fun project. First since it was too cold at the time to paper mache in the garage (it probably would have frozen instead of dried-ha) and it was too messy to do it in the house, we decided to pick up a couple of cheap craft masks at Hobby Lobby. Next we cut out cardboard shapes to complete the shape of the death mask, attaching them with hot glue. Vince even put a little detail on the *beard* with the hot glue per The Princess' request. Then the kiddos started to paint them with this metallic gold tempera paint. It worked okay for the cardboard, but would not coat the plastic of the mask. We thought maybe a second coat

Door Hanger Chore Charts

My kids have had a chore chart for a while.  It's one of those magnetic boards and they share it.  However, it's not by their rooms and often they (and I) forget to update it.  Plus it's a little bulky.   When I saw the concept of a door hanger chore chart on Pinterest, I loved it!  It was compact, right there were the kiddos could see it coming out and going into their rooms, and it costs almost nothing to make.   I headed over to one of my favorite stores: Hobby Lobby, of course.  They  have these little wooden door hangers for .79.  I also grabbed a couple of packets of decorative buttons for $1.99 each.  I already had the clothes pins and the paint so those cost me nothing.   I began by painting the door hangers (I used tempera paints because that's what I had).  Then I grabbed a fine point Sharpie and the clothes pins and started writing chores on them, making sure to write them correctly so they will clip on the right direction.   The left

1st Day Back to {home}School, Among Other Things

We did it! We finally got unpacked enough and got our new learning room organized enough to start back to school! Frankly, I was starting to get worried...ha Today went very well though. So far I am extremely pleased with our new curriculum choices for math and language arts. Now, if I could just actually get some lesson planning done... And get the finishing touches done in the learning room, so I can blog it! In other news, it has been a bit of a traumatic week...pet-wise. Last weekend a sweet friend (who had asked my permission beforehand) brought the kiddos their very own little fish tank with two goldfish. Well, on Sunday we noticed that The Princess' fish was pretty lethargic...dead, actually. She was sad, but she handled it fairly well. And we went to the store that evening and let her pick out a new goldfish. Well, today during our school time~the fish tank is in our learning room~we noticed Mr. B's fish was acting funny. And then he was dead. It was a
