Different Strokes

The United Methodist materials we're using has an excellent balance of activities: Bible stories, music and dance, crafts, games, even science experiments.

But one seven year old finds our offerings unbearably juvenile.  She let us know she wanted to study the Bible.  In English.   She is being homeschooled, understands our language reasonably well, and is beginning to read it.  So she and I are working together.  Her concentration is excellent.

In addition to reading the Bible in Contemporary English, we create shopping lists and go to the local grocery store for items Michelle needs. I speak to her in English; she translates into Czech and speaks to the store clerks.
