For religion, many of the school books we have center around God as the creator and give value to He who deserves the credit for creating our amazing bodies, lives, universe, etc. This is something that can not be taught in the public school system.
Jaden is reading some first readers about bible stories. Dennis Jones has a series of books that offer great illustrations and simple words for each story. Jaden read "Who will Help?" last night. This is a book about the good samaritan. Such an awesome story, and I love that it is made in a way that she can read it and understand it all on her own. Mary Manz Simon and Dennis Jones are paired up on several of the books.
In addition, the girls are now in 2 God-centered programs. One of the programs meets every other week, and the other one meets every week. Each program teaches about God, the Bible, service, self-worth, and those kinds of values. They do service projects as well. Today, they are going to a nursing home to deliver hand-made cards and a cake and to sing for the elderly men and women's birthdays.

That is such a great idea. I want to get the boys involved in some acts of service but it just has not worked out. Great to hear about your updates.
