Preppin' Up August 17th

2009-08-17T08:57:00.000-07:00

Alrighty Girls. Today we are putting up what new school supplies we have.

I have two boxes to keep my semester's worth of work in. One holds the assignments, then when I'm finished I place them in the second box. My mom then corrects the work and switches the boxes around and adds in the new assignments.

I have new notebooks that have fancy designs, that we got at Target. New pencils of course and new educational websites my mom found and gives me assignments from. I'll be posting about them each week to let you know what I'm learning from them. This last week I learned about World War II and the way the children lived during those days.

I'm still using Math-U-See for Math and Abeka for Spelling.

So what are your new supplies this year? Put your link in the MckLinky below:

Thank God I am Free!

2009-08-17T08:40:00.000-07:00

Verse 1
For a long time I traveled
Down a long lonely road;
My heart was so heavy in sin I sank low.
Then I heard about Jesus,
What a wonderful hour;
I’m so glad that I found out
He would bring me out
Through His saving power.

Chorus:
Thank God I am free, free, free
From this world of sin.
Washed in the blood of Jesus,
I’ve been born again.
Hallelujah, I’m saved, saved, saved
By His wonderful grace.
I’m so glad that I found out
He could bring me out
And show me the way.

Verse 2
Like a bird out of prison
That has taken its flight;
Like a blind man that God
Gave back his sight.
Like a poor wretched beggar
That’s found fortune and fame,
I’m so glad that I found out
He could bring me out
Thro’ His holy name.

Chorus:
Thank God I am free, free, free
From this world of sin.
Washed in the blood of Jesus,
I’ve been born again.
Hallelujah, I’m saved, saved, saved
By His wonderful grace.
I’m so glad that I found out
He could bring me out
And show me the way.

Have a fun and exciting day!!

Oh How I Love Jesus

2009-08-09T00:00:00.000-07:00

1.There is a Name I love to hear,
I love to sing its worth;
It sounds like music in my ear,
The sweetest Name on earth.
* Refrain:
Oh, how I love Jesus,
Oh, how I love Jesus,
Oh, how I love Jesus,
Because He first loved me!

2. It tells me of a Savior’s love,
Who died to set me free;
It tells me of His precious blood,
The sinner’s perfect plea.

3. It tells me of a Father’s smile
Beaming upon His child;
It cheers me through this little while,
Through desert, waste, and wild.

4. It tells me what my Father hath
In store for every day,
And though I tread a darksome path,
Yields sunshine all the way.

5. It tells of One whose loving heart
Can feel my deepest woe;
Who in each sorrow bears a part
That none can bear below.

6. It bids my trembling heart rejoice;
It dries each rising tear;
It tells me, in a “still small voice,”
To trust and never fear.

7. Jesus, the Name I love so well,
The Name I love to hear:
No saint on earth its worth can tell,
No heart conceive how dear.

8. This Name shall shed its fragrance still
Along this thorny road,
Shall sweetly smooth the rugged hill
That leads me up to God.

9. And there with all the blood-bought throng,
From sin and sorrow free,
I’ll sing the new eternal song
Of Jesus’ love for me.

Preppin' Up! Teen HS Blog Hop

2009-08-07T00:01:00.000-07:00

We're planning a teen homeschool blog hop called Preppin' Up right here From The Learning Room. We will begin next week on Monday August 10th. What we want to do is to get to know each other in the homeschool blogosphere and share what we're each doing to get prepped up for this homeschool year 2009-2010. While this is mainly for teens, if you are younger than that we welcome you to join us!

Many of our moms are having fun with Mrs. Darcy at My3Boybarians 'Not so Back to School Blog Hop' each week in August, so how about we have our own?

Here's what we have in our dayplanner:
Monday August 10th- Subjects are you studying this semester
Monday August 17th- New school supplies you have this year
Monday August 24th- Study area
Monday August 31st- Fall pictures

Each event will last a week and we hope you'll invite your friends as well. You can grab the codes to this Save the Date button. The Save the Date button will update weekly with a reminder of each activity in this event.

It doesn't matter when you actually get started in your homeschool, the posts will remain active until September 15th. So get your posts ready to bring back on Monday. That's when my Mr. McKlinky will be ready to go!

This song is called When you believe and it is in Hebrew. The translation is at the bottom of it. In the Hebrew language you will see in a word the 'ch' you have to pronounce it like you are scoffing. The video is at the bottom.

Hebrew:

Verse 1:
Li tfilot balev
Lo barur im yesh makshiv
Mish'ala noset tikvah
Nishlachet lamarom
Lamrot kol hake'ev
Vechol hasakanot saviv,

Harim hadafnu bli sheklal
yada'nu ech lilchom

Chorus:
Achen korim nisim
Lama'amin
Gam im ein tikvah,
O'd lo horgim
Yikru harbe nisim
Lama'amin
Ve'im namtin,
Nasig otam...
Tsarich leha'amin...

Verse 2:

Be'itot eyma
Kshenisa'ot tfilot lashav,
Hatikvah kmo tsiporim-
A'fot rachok mikan...
-Nitsevet bidmama...
-Kan bidmama...
Libi o'le lo a'l gdotav
Mipi portzim hadiburim
Shebi klu'im mizman...

Chorus:

Achen korim nisim!
Im na'amin
-Im na'amin
Gam im ein tikvah,
O'd lo horgim
-O'd lo horgim...
Yikru harbe nisim
Lama'amin
-Lama'amin
Ve'm namtin, nasig otam...
Tsarich leha'amin...

Verse 3:

Ashira el Adonnay ki ga'o ga'a
Ashira el Adonnay ki ga'o ga'a
Mi chamocha ba'elim, Adonnay?
Mi kamocha ne'edar bakodesh?
Nachita bechasdecha, a'm zu ga'alta
Nachita bechasdecha, a'm zu ga'alta
Mashi'yach! Mashi'yach! Mashi'yach!
Ashira el Adonnay ki ga'o ga'a
Ashira el Adonnay ki ga'o ga'a
Mi chamocha ba'elim, Addonay?
Mi kamocha ne'edar bakodesh?
Nachita bechasdecha, a'm zu ga'alta
Nachita bechasdecha, a'm zu ga'alta
Mashi'yach! Mashi'yach! Mashi'yach!

Chorus:

Korim harbe nisim!
Lama'amin
Gam im ein tikvah,
O'd lo horgim
-O'd lo horgim
Yikru harbe nisim!
Im na'amin
-Im na'amin
Ve'im namtin,
Nasig otam...
Nasig otam...
Tsarich leha'amin!
-Leha'amin...
Tsarich leha'amin!
Tsarich leha'amin!
-Leha'amin...
Tsarich leha'amin!

Translated to English:

Many nights we've prayed
with no proof anyone could hear
In our hearts a hopeful song
We barely understood
Now we are not afraid
Although we know there's much to fear
We were moving mountains
Long before we ever knew we could

There can be miracles
When you believe
Though hope is frail
It's hard to kill
Who knows what miracles
You can achieve
When you believe
Somehow you will
You will when you believe

In this time of fear
When prayer so often proved in vain
Hope seemed like the summer birds
Too swiftly flown away
Yet now I'm standing here
With heart so full I can't explain
Seeking faith and speaking words
I never thought I'd say

There can be miracles when you believe
Though hope is frail
It's hard to kill
Who knows what miracles
You can achieve
When you believe
Somehow you will
You will when you believe...

A-shi-ra la-do-nai ki ga-oh ga-ah
A-shi-ra la-do-nai ki ga-oh ga-ah
Mi-cha-mo-cha ba-elim adonai
Mi-ka-mo-cha ne-dar- ba-ko-desh
Na-chi-tah v'-chas-d'-cha am zu ga-al-ta
Na-chi-tah v'-chas-d'-cha am zu ga-al-ta
A-shi-ra, a-shi-ra, a-shi-ra...

There can be miracles
When you believe
Though hope is frail
It's hard to kill
Who knows what miracles

You can achieve
When you believe
Somehow you will
Now you will
You will when you believe

You will when you believe!

Hope you enjoyed it!
