Homeschool Review - Bible Class

Many of you know I home school! I have a 4th grader, 2nd/3rd grader, and a kindergartner. ( I also have an almost 3 yr old).
I thought, as school winds down and I think of curriculum for next year, it would be fun to share what we use for each of our school subjects.
***
My first subject to review is Bible Class.
I use...

Bible Study for all ages is a great program! I love that it has different student books for different aged kids. There is a book for 3yr- K, 1st-3rd, 4th-6th. I use these more like k-2nd, 3rd-4th, and 5th-6th. You can use them for whatever ages works for you! All of the books are working on the same story even tho they are made for different levels. So you can teach all the kids in your home school at the same time and they can all understand.
**
You will need a student booklet for each student unless you want them to share, which I think is very possible and I may do that next year to cut a little cost. Each student booklet costs $6.95 but only covers 26 lessons. So for Teachers Guide 1 (lessons 1-104) there are 4 student booklets.
**
You will also need to purchase a Teacher's Guide. There are 4 guides total. In each guide is 104 lessons. You can go through them at your own pace. I think each guide is $29.95. I have only bought one and it will last 2 years.
The teachers Guide has everything done for you- there is no planning you have to do. First you read a chapter or 2 from the Bible. Then there are questions in the teachers guide to answer together. Then they do their booklets to review the story again. They also learn books of the Bible and many other things along with the stories.
**
I know you can find ways to teach Bible class a lot cheaper, but I don't find the time to make up my own lessons. This program works really good for us and I feel that my kids, along with me, are really starting to learn our Bibles, and that's very important to us!
**
I'm curious, do you home school? And if so what do you use for Bible class? Do you make up your own Bible curriculum?

**
I'd love to hear from you. Just leave me a comment!

Spring Cleaning -- Entry Way

Spring Cleaning Week 7 with Sarah at BeautifulToGod.

Cleaning our Entry Ways!

Come join in on the fun and link up here!

As you can see, there's not much to my entry way! This should make this week very easy for me. Which is a good thing since we're having a garage sale on Thurs. and Friday!
I plan to sweep, wash the floor, and clean the windows.
There's not much else to do with this area.

I'm also going to add the outside entry way. There is a little more work to do to this area. It needs a good cleaning and lots of shoes put away! We'll see if I can get this done too!

**
Remember link up here!

Meal Plan Monday- Weekly Meals

We're having a Garage Sale Thursday and Friday this week. It's going to make this a very busy week. If you don't see me posting quite as much, that's why!! I plan to schedule most of my posts ahead, like I usually do, so hopefully you won't even notice I'm gone!
I also home school so I scheduled our Spring Break this week. That should free up a lot of time for the sale too!!!
***
I also thought I was going to have to skip Spring Cleaning with Sarah at BeautifulToGod this week, but I just checked and we're doing our Entry Way . This is a VERY easy one for me. I hardly have an entry way so I think I can even do my spring cleaning this week!! YAY!!
***
Now on to our Meals!
Monday-- Smoked Sausage, rice stir fry, Mandarin oranges, bread
**
Tuesday -- Grilled Chicken, potatoes, and veggies
**
Wednesday -- Ham Steaks on a bun with cole slaw and apple slices
