Back to School For Homeschoolers
 

For God is not a God of disorder but of peace.

1 Corinthians 14:33

 

Hi (Contact First Name),

  

It is almost fall and we are so excited at Homeschooled Kids Online to bring you a plethora of activities to enrich your fall season! Did you like that word? Did you know that word means an overabundance - basically, it means a BUNCH!!!

 

Many homeschoolers begin their "school year" in the early fall. Fall is the perfect time to get organized and prepared for the school year ahead. The Bible tells us that God is a God of order and peace. Organization is a good thing because it gives us a sense of peace and allows us to perform at our best.  

 

We know that our Lord prefers order and not chaos. September is a perfect time for you to sit down with your parents and set goals for the new year. What do you hope to accomplish this year? What are your educational goals, your athletic or sporting event goals, your family goals, and your financial goals? Yes I said financial goals! Homeschoolers have a unique opportunity to earn extra income. Maybe you are interested in becoming a babysitter or a petsitter. Maybe you would like to earn extra cash being a pet-walker! Be creative! Decide how you will earn extra cash and create a flyer. Distribute around your neighborhood and wait for the job offers! There are so many ways for homeschoolers to earn extra money!


When setting goals for this year, be realistic. Do not spread yourself too thin. Too many extra activities and you may find that you are not able to complete any of them well. Strive to bring excellence to whatever you do. This means setting priorities. Do you know what a priority is? A priority simply means that you decide what is MOST IMPORTANT. Write down all your goals and activities. Put in order from top to bottom, starting with the most important. Your relationship with God should be at the very top. Never allow any activity or goal to come before Him.

 

Our online September newsletter is uploaded and ready for you to come and visit. You will find crafts, activities, recipe fun, online games and so much more.

 

Calendar 

 

God wants you to be successful at all that you do. Make Him your number one priority and you are making sure that you will have His daily strength for all you do.
 

After you have all your priorities in order, then make a commitment to yourself that you will do very best to stay organized. Start each day with prayer and then one by one cross off your daily list. If you start each day by doing your most difficult task first, you will find the day will pass by easily. If you decide to put your least favorite chore or task last, you will find yourself dreading this task all day.

 

Being orderly and organized has so many benefits for you! You will be much happier and you will get so much more accomplished. Organizational skills will be important for you to have the rest of your life.

 

God created our universe out of order, NOT chaos! Be a planner. Seek God's will for your day, week and year. Get busy!

 

 

God wants you to be successful at all that you do. Make Him your number one priority and you are making sure that you will have His daily strength for all you do.


I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus. Philippians 3:14

Have a NOT Back to School Party

While others around you are gearing up for the first day of school, why don't you and a few other homeschooling friends plan a party! Celebrate your local public school's first day by having a NOT Back to School party.

Plan your party at a local park or beach and invite all the homeschoolers in your area. Make a supplies list and ask each family to contribute to the party. For example, maybe you can bring paper cups and paper plates while another family supplies drinks and ice.

Plan games and activities for your homeschooling friends. Be sure and bring a football, frisbee and other outdoor toys.  A Not Back to School Party is the perfect way to kick off your homeschooling year and the perfect way to meet other homeschoolers.

 

 He calms the storm, So that it's waves are still.

Psalms 107:29

 

September is the Season For Wild Weather!

 

Do you know what a hurricane is? A hurricane is a tropical storm that originates over oceans. Most hurricanes start within the same area near the equator. Hurricanes have very high winds which blow in a circular motion around a low-pressure center. The low-pressure center of the hurricane is known as the "eye of the storm."

Hurricanes are rated on a scale of 1 to 5. The most powerful is a category 5 which has winds that exceed 155 miles per hour. Inside the eye of the hurricane, the winds are very calm.

When hurricanes are threatening the mainland, U.S. military aircraft fly into these storms and measure their winds and the direction of the storms travel. By studying the hurricanes winds and the weather near and around the storm, hurricane predictors can alert coastal residents of the approaching storm.

 The word "storm" appears in the Bible 14 times!

 

 

He stirs up the sea with His power, And by His understanding 

He breaks up the storm. Job 26:12


Storms can be very exciting and they can also be frightening. When weather forecasters are predicting nasty weather, it is natural for you to be a little afraid. We know that if we are not sensible and do not take precautions then we could be in danger of a storm. With modern forecasting and radar imagery, scientist are better able today than ever before to warn us well in advance of approaching storms. If you are in the path of a hurricane, you will have more than enough time to evacuate and get to safety. Just stay calm and help your family prepare to leave when nasty weather threatens you and your family.


We know that the Lord is in control of everything that happens around us. We can trust him to take care of us and we can put ourselves in His hands. When you start to feel afraid of anything, just start to pray. Ask God to calm you and to reassure you that everything will be ok.


For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind. 2 Timothy 1:7


Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. John 14:27


These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world." John 16:33


There are many different storms that you may come across in your life. Some "storms" have nothing to do with the weather. Some "storms" may be personal problems that you are having in your life. Maybe you have problems at home with family or with your friends. These "storms" can be more upsetting than a hurricane sometimes! Once again, you have to trust Jesus with your problems and allow Him to provide you with strength and a sense of peace. Just ask Him for His peace!! He is always there for you and is always ready to calm the storms in your life!

Jesus, the SON, loves YOU!!!
