Next week, we go back to JBC. We will skip Theme 3 and go straight to Theme 4. When we took a break from JBC the summer of 2006, we spent a few months on the Divided Kingdom. It just happened as my daughter was enthralled by that whole period of history. So I don't feel 'bad' about skipping Theme 3 and this chunk of His Story.

Since Christmas is just over, Theme 4 fits in nicely. We spent much time during an inductive study on the Advent so we'll skip Week 1 and go straight to Week 2. I'm having a ball studying and preparing this lesson. I'm also reviewing Katherine Dang's “How to study” sections in GACE and will be coming up with my own version of the 4R charts soon. I already have the EVENTS one done last year, but I will definitely like to have the others on PLACES, KEY CHARACTERS and DOCUMENTS done as well. If you are keen to take a peek, go to www.miikogibson.com and look under “Free Goodies”. They won't be ready till Sunday evening though as I've a gazillion things to do today and tomorrow.

Meanwhile, I can't find my Intrepid A!!!! Please say a prayer for me as I am feeling yucky about it! I can't plan without it. Maybe it's lost among the Thanksgiving stuff I've put away (it was that long ago when I last used it).
