Our Homeschool Read Alouds:


The Best Christmas Pageant Ever by Barbara Robinson

This has been our Christmas read-aloud for 3-4 Decembers.  I really struggled through the first several chapters the first time we read it, but I'm so glad I stuck with it.  This is a great message about why we celebrate Christmas and how to display kindness and grace to others.


Christian Heroes: Dietrich Bonhoeffer
by Janet and Geoff Benge

Dietrich Bonhoeffer is such a rich character and example in church history.  I was excited to see that his biography was next in our reading. Living in Germany at the time of Hitler's rise, Bonhoeffer had a unique insight into his reign of terror and as part of several assassination attempts on Hitler's life.  This biography was a unique mix of Bonhoeffer's political and religious views and how the two came together at a unique period in history.  I'm especially excited as this book is coming at the point in our history curriculum where we're just starting to explore the ideas that led to WWII.
