Mystery of History Volume 1: Week 18: Lesson 52-54: King Josiah, Nahum and Zephaniah, and Jeremiah (Judah’s Prophet)

Mystery of History

Mystery of History

Lesson 52: King Josiah

Besides reading the MOH lesson, we read 2 Kings 22-23 and 2 Chronicles 34-35. My youngest also read Chapter 97 of the Children’s Story Bible.

This lesson is closely related to Lesson 53, and the Ayssrians play a part. So over these three lessons, some extended Assyrian activities are fun.

Lesson 53: Nahum and Zephaniah

After reading the MOH lesson, I showed the kids the Bible Project videos for the books of Nahum and Zephaniah. From this point forward, I use these for each book of the Bible covered. They are short, comic-style drawings that keep the kids captivated while giving a really cool overview of these books. They help to put the prophetic books in perspective.

I also stress, over and over, that the layout of our English Bible is not all chronological, and try to show the kids how the story actually flows. Mystery of History makes this easier, but I think constantly explaining it is helpful.

The kids also read both of these books in their Bibles. There was LOTS of Bible reading this week!

Mystery of History

Lesson 54: Jeremiah (Judah’s Prophet)

After reading the MOH lesson, we watched two more Bible Project Videos, and read portions of Jeremiah, plus the book of Lamentations. My youngest read Chapter 98 of The Children’s Story Bible.

We added more kings and prophets to the chart we started several weeks ago.

To finish up, we added these events to our timelines, did the mapwork in the Companion Guide, my 9 & 12 year olds added the corresponding sections to their labpooks (folder books), and everyone did the Week 17 review quiz.

Be sure to check out all the great book suggestions and activity ideas in the Mystery of History Companion Guide! Follow the entire course with us at the main Mystery of History Volume 1 page here.

I have two very different sons. One has been an extrovert since he could talk. The other has been an introvert for just as long. The thing about home education is that it doesn’t have to happen at home. What it really means is “not public school.” Not stuck in a classroom all day. Not confined to a government calendar. Not a slave to the system. 23 years ago I helped my aunt Kari start a homeschool co-op. At that time, I had one child and she was three years old. If you have a child that struggles to read, read to them. Read aloud every day. That’s the best advice I can give. New year. New house. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTION: How do I homeschool with babies and toddlers in the mix?? Don’t let people tell you that “you can’t shelter your children.” Yes, you can. And you absolutely should. Mothers have a crucial role to play in society, although their job doesn’t always feel very “crucial.” Wiping baby faces, repeating instructions, settling squabbles, and making food is repetitive and doesn’t always seem important. For 2023, I’ll be preaching the same ol’ message that I can’t stop saying: “education is discipleship,” and “you can do it” homeschooling encouragement. Not gonna make the message easier to swallow when the world is attacking children on a grander scale every day. I’m also not going to tell you that homeschooling is a breeze, but I will keep saying that it’s worth every minute.
