Normal Price $49.60 SALE!This Teen Journal will give your son the freedom to pick and choose his own schoolbooks, give him the guidance he needs and minimal help from an adult. Complete 12 pages a day and the journal will last 6 weeks! This journal covers science, history, English/Grammar, Nature Study, Spelling, Creative Writing, Economics and Finance, all you need to add is a math program. Activities Include: Daily Summaries: each day your teen will write a paragraph or summarize what he learned using the activity pages in his journal. Instead of having your child answer questions or fill-in-the blanks he'll summarize and tell back via writing what he learned. Start Your Day! - this page has space for your teen to write the date, a verse or quote and a prayer list. It also instructs your child to choose four books from their stack for reading that day. Reading Time - this page will have your teen write a summary from one of their books and illustrate it. Drawing Time - this is a fun page. Your teen will add something to an illustration. Science Page - after your teen reads about science either from a library book or textbook he will have the opportunity to write what he learned and illustrate it as well. History Page - once done with reading about history your teen can make a mini timeline and write about someone or place in time that he learned about. A great way to document what he's learning. Math, Finance, & Economic: My Notes - your teen can use this to write math problems or jot down what they are learning about in finance and/or economics. Copywork - have your teen copy something that stood out to him or an interesting paragraph. English Page - instead of answering English/grammar questions, have your teen tell back what he learned. This is a great way to remember what was learned. If your child is studying a foreign language like Latin, have him tell you via the English page what grammar concept he learned. Nature Study - this page gives your son a chance to go outside and draw what he sees, whether it's the house next door or a beetle on the back porch. He can also write something about it too like a fun fact, something silly, or his thoughts about what he saw and illustrated. Spelling Time - your son can choose a letter and find words that either start or end with it but to make it more challenging he'll have to five nouns, compound words, adjectives, verbs, and proper nouns. Once he finds the words he can write a story, poem, song, or play using the words. He can make silly sentences or try using as many words in one sentence too! He'll also get to illustrate it or make a comic about it using the boxes (strip) below. Film Study - watch an educational film, tutorial, or documentary and write a review about it, draw a few scenes, and rate it! This is a great way to document what your teen is learning in a fun way that doesn't boggle him down with nonsense like answering a lot of questions in a workbook that he'll soon forget. Instead your child can use real books or audiobooks for science & history, books that they have picked out and want to read! This Do-it-Yourself Homeschool Journal is great for teens with Dyslexia, Asperger's Syndrome, ADHD, and other learning challenges. Sarah Janisse Brown is a dyslexic therapist and creator of Dyslexia Games (www.dyslexiagames.com). Sarah has helped many moms Flip to Fun-Schooling using her Curriculum Journals. This homeschooling journal is great for busy families, unschoolers, eclectic learners, Charlotte Mason inspired, and delight directed learners. Even some textbook moms have found success using this method with their boxed curriculum.

All American Boys
Author: Jason Reynolds
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1481463357
Category : Young Adult Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 229
Book Description
A 2016 Coretta Scott King Author Honor book, and recipient of the Walter Dean Myers Award for Outstanding Children’s Literature. In this New York Times bestselling novel, two teens—one black, one white—grapple with the repercussions of a single violent act that leaves their school, their community, and, ultimately, the country bitterly divided by racial tension. A bag of chips. That’s all sixteen-year-old Rashad is looking for at the corner bodega. What he finds instead is a fist-happy cop, Paul Galluzzo, who mistakes Rashad for a shoplifter, mistakes Rashad’s pleadings that he’s stolen nothing for belligerence, mistakes Rashad’s resistance to leave the bodega as resisting arrest, mistakes Rashad’s every flinch at every punch the cop throws as further resistance and refusal to STAY STILL as ordered. But how can you stay still when someone is pounding your face into the concrete pavement? There were witnesses: Quinn Collins—a varsity basketball player and Rashad’s classmate who has been raised by Paul since his own father died in Afghanistan—and a video camera. Soon the beating is all over the news and Paul is getting threatened with accusations of prejudice and racial brutality. Quinn refuses to believe that the man who has basically been his savior could possibly be guilty. But then Rashad is absent. And absent again. And again. And the basketball team—half of whom are Rashad’s best friends—start to take sides. As does the school. And the town. Simmering tensions threaten to explode as Rashad and Quinn are forced to face decisions and consequences they had never considered before. Written in tandem by two award-winning authors, this four-starred reviewed tour de force shares the alternating perspectives of Rashad and Quinn as the complications from that single violent moment, the type taken directly from today’s headlines, unfold and reverberate to highlight an unwelcome truth.

Book Description
What do you crave to make you happy? ... every day is filled with things we want and crave. Things that will make us feel good at least for a moment.

He created us to crave Him, and a happiness that lasts. In this teen adaptation of the bestselling Made to Crave, the deep emotional, physical, and material cravings you face are explored—desires that can turn into spending too much, over- or under-eating, needing a boyfriend, or more. Through real-life stories and support from people who have been where you are, you will also discover how to truly crave God and the love and comfort He wants us to have, and how craving heavenly things can make the earthly cravings easier to overcome. You were made to crave more than this world has to offer.

Believe in Your Own Fairytale
Author: Kay-Marie Fletcher
Publisher: Elm Hill
ISBN: 1595559353
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 214
Book Description
Believe In Your Own Fairytale narrates a young woman’s quest to achieve dreams all thought impossible. While being raised in a poor, black household on a small island does not make one the perfect candidate for a happily-ever-after, Fletcher shows that fairytales are real for those who find the magic in themselves. It is a journey of self-discovery, relationship with God and overcoming hardships including grief, disappointment, depression, poverty, anxiety and overcoming many psychological barriers to manifest true purpose. If you’ve ever doubted that your dreams are too big or maybe never believed in fairytales at all, then this is the book for you. It is designed for all the wanderers, dreamers and every person who has felt like their goals were so big it scared them and everyone else around them. It is for those who lack support from others and struggle daily to achieve their lifelong goals. Yuh’ see when you’re born in 1990 and yuh’ grow up as an only child to a poor, black, single-parent mother in the Caribbean, wanting to become a New York Times best-selling author and broadcast journalist living in the big apple seems like a real FAIRYTALE. My childhood dream of becoming the “Caribbean Carrie Bradshaw” was often mocked and turned away by locals who told me, “give up Kay-Marie dem’ ting’ does only happen in books and movies”. Determined to prove everyone wrong and do so by age 25, I set out on the pursuit of happiness as a young, naïve but strong-minded island-girl. However, my journey to achieve these goals was often disrupted by many hardships and this book details how I dealt with them. These include grief, disappointment, depression, and poverty, anxiety, crossing geographical borders and overcoming many psychological barriers. The unexpected death of my grandmother and uncle, which made me struggle to complete university, was just one of many. This caused me great turmoil, since Education had to be my ticket into a better life. After being rejected to do my post-grad studies in the U.S., I was forced to take an ordinary desk job to earn a living. Meanwhile, I hoped that finding true love would be a worthy compromise. Sadly, I looked for it in all the wrong guys. Luckily, I landed my dream job as a journalist at the largest local news station back home. Soon after taking it however, my old dream resurfaced and I was finally given the chance to migrate to the United States. By then, I had to choose between giving up the life I’d always imagined overseas and accepting what seemed to be my new fate in Trinidad. But, what happened next completely overturned my life. After surviving a horrific car accident on my 25th birthday, I woke up to an epiphany that my fairytale was much more than just becoming a big city girl. Taking a leap of faith to go after my dreams, developing a relationship with God, and discovering my true purpose in life became my real happily ever after. This book also gives an entirely new outlook to the traditional concept of what we know a ‘fairytale’ to be. Unlike others, each chapter unravels a whole new definition of the term ‘fairytale’ and intends to convince the minds of those who never believed in fairytales at all. When you read this book you will discover that your fairytales are your dreams, your purpose, your truth, your vision, your deepest thoughts, your inner magic, your baby, your goals, your prophetic call, your diamond, your destiny, and your recipe for success, just to name a few.
