What a fantastic opportunity we have today!
Joy Bryant of Teach Me Joy has created three insightful programs that centers educational themes around important biblical character qualities.
This past month I’ve had the pleasure of looking over her different curriculum packages and today I’m delighted to share them with you:
Animal Play for 2 & 3 Year Olds
A program for 2-3 year olds. It uses colorful books, songs, games and activities about animals to introduce the alphabet, numbers, shapes & colors. This program is designed to excite your child about school. Each day has different ideas to keep your child busy as well as the flexibility to work at your own pace. Bible time will introduce creation and other Bible stories that will give a Biblical foundation. You will also learn some Biblical characteristics by looking at animals
A homeschool program targeting students in K3-K5. The programs Biblical focus is on the Fruit of the Spirit in Galatians. The student will learn Bible verses and stories that teach different “fruit†and character qualities. In this program the student will master letter sounds using a vertical phonics approach. Math concepts cover counting, number recognition, colors and shapes, measurement, ordering, and more.
They will explore the body, nutrition and healthy habits for science. Each lesson tries to target different learning styles. There is a variety of different worksheets and activities to keep learning fun and engaging. There are “Bigger Step†options for those students who are ready to do some book work and are ready to read.
The Joy of Handwriting
A program developed when a homeschool mom couldn’t find a cursive program that she was 100% satisfied with. As a result, The Joy of Handwriting was born. She took the best methods and ideas that she thought would work best and developed a program that is high quality and easy to use with kindergarteners as well as older elementary students. After having such good success with her own kindergarten student she wanted to make it available for others to try. The program was originally developed for cursive handwriting, but updated with a manuscript version
Don’t you just want to get your hands on these?
(I can hear your printer warming up already!)

Hi,
I am 15 and live in England. I don’t have a credit card or anything. Am I still eligible? I teach my cousin?
I would love to have Fruit for Tender Hearts, just bought Joy of Handwriting and am excited to start using it.
I created an account. I would choose Animal play for 2 and 3 year olds. This would be so much fun for my 3 year old son. I am always looking for fun activities for him to do during school time. Thanks for the chance!
I just created an account and would LOVE either the Fruits or Handwriting curriculum….it looks great!

I would definitely choose Animal Play – My mother-in-law has been living with us and she’s not well – b/w her needs and my other children’s homeschooling needs, my 2 year old is floundering – i’ve been looking for something purposeful and directed to do with him! Thank you!
I would choose the “fruit” one.
I just visited Teach Me Joy and signed up for her newsletter.
I teach at a Christian school in Africa. We would love to have the opportunity to use Fruit for Tender Hearts in our elementary program-that includes children from 22 countries, many from families practicing other faiths!
I would have to flip a coin to decide which package I would choose. The toss would be Heads for FRUIT FOR TENDER HEARTS and tails for THE JOY OF HANDWRITING cursive!

i created an account and would love the opportunity to have teach me joy
I signed up for the newsletter. I would love to use “Animal Play”. Thank you, take care, and God bless! :)
I would certainly use and enjoy and share the Jow of Handwriting. I am not only the teacher of my own children as we home school but I also teach other home schooled children. I am always surprised at the haphazard way that some children form their letters. I believe that the formation is important, not just legibility. So please, teach your children to form the letters correctly. It flows from print to cursive better and also enables better control of the pencil and less hand fatigue.

Hi! I would love to have the “Fruit for Tender Hearts” Curriculum.

This is a tough choise… but I think I would select the Fruit for Tender Hearts. Thanks for creating these curriculums!
I would love the “Fruit for Tender Hearts” and the Handwriting curriculum looked awesome!! Looked very thorough & while I was looking at the curriculum, my stomach didn’t knot up. Most curriculum’s I have looked at, I know that close to half will not be used for various reasons and I can’t justify throwing that much money away. I feel these would actually not have ANYTHING discarded.
Thank you for doing this give away.
