Should the second Brother Andrew book be Light Force? Just making my book list and wanting to be sure I get the right thing.

Yes, Ellen! Thank you. It is Light Force by Brother Andrew.

One additional note - we would love to include family history along the way. If any of you are seeing extended family this summer, please take the opportunity to prompt your child to ask them some things.

You may want to help your child ask the right era questions :) but ask if they remember when Kennedy was shot or Civil Rights news or activities; when man first walked on the moon; maybe even back to the depression - what were conditions like for your family? Did anyone serve in WWI or WWII or Korean War or Vietnam War? (the gulf wars history is also great! but we probably won't have as much class time for it)

I found out recently that my grandfather left his family on the farm in Eastern Montana to work for one of FDR's alphabet soup programs during the depression. He was gone for months at a time.

There are helps in the curriculum on specific questions you can ask to get the conversation started. Enjoy!!
