Just found this website that has some printable units for preschoolers. I have not yet looked at them, but heard at least some of them have a Scripture verse at the end. Sounds perfect for summer school. : )

Book project on the human body--from the archives
Hello Moms!
I was looking through old TWIOC posts, and it looks like I never shared with you all something Becky and I did for the preschool kids one time when she and I were in charge of childcare for the morning SoulFood Bible study. Since we were going to have our kids with us, we decided to make the most of those hours every week by doing a unit on the human body. I just wrote about it on my blog, so if you are interested, please feel free to hop over and take a look. : )

a few resources for China studies
If your family is interested in a unit on China, here are some fun and interesting sites I recommend to get you started.
A really neat map of China and its provinces with a key that your child can color-code:

Look up your child's name and see how it looks in Chinese characters:

How to count to 10 in Mandarin:

A youtube video of cute kids counting in Mandarin:

I found lots of good free printable coloring sheets too, and can send anyone interested files--just don't think I can do that here.
And there some very good videos on China available for instant download through Netflix at the moment:

http://movies.netflix.com/WiMovie/Discovery-Atlas-China-Revealed/70058855?trkid=438403#height1338
(Don't forget Netflix offers a free trial membership, so if you are not already using their services, you can get a couple of weeks or even a month for free, just the right amount of time to study a topic like China. : ) When you watch these titles, you have to read between the lines--everything is so beautiful and the narrator overall so positive about China. But throughout there are subtle hints of the less positive side of China that you can catch and then talk about with your kids.)
If anyone is interested, I can also recommend a couple of really neat Chinese stories for your younger kids.
