In a Nutshell is a book that explores the life cycle of a plant, but more importantly, readers are given beautiful life lessons on change and growth in this inspirational book for kids, as we see the acorn travel through the seasons. Through luminous illustrations, In a Nutshell explores the life cycle of an oak tree and how it supports life even after it is gone. An acorn drops from a great oak and grows. Animals nibble at it, a fire threatens it, but overcoming many challenges it eventually towers high in the forest, observing the changing human scene below. Eventually its energy passes into many other life forms. An oak tree can teach much about seeds and seasons and cycles-but it also can make us appreciate the challenges it must overcome.In a Nutshell

A Story of World War II and the Floods of 1953 “That’s a rather rough expression, brother Melse — ‘traitor.’ How could you call someone a traitor if he’s simply obeying the government? I would rather not hear such language from the mouth of an elder.” “I maintain that such work as building bunkers is treason against our land,” repeated David Melse. “The bunkers have a definite purpose: when armies come to liberate us from the power of the Germans, the bunkers are supposed to hold them back. Each bunker could help sink one of the naval vessels approaching our coast. And on those vessels are our friends — perhaps even our own soldiers. Reverend, you should think carefully what those bunkers represent.” Rev. Verhulst shook his head. “You people have completely the wrong idea about those bunkers. Do you really believe that Germany will one day sink to its knees before England? If you do, you’re completely mistaken, brother Melse. Germany will take control of all of Europe and will never let itself be overthrown. Germany is much too powerful to be defeated. Moreover, if you had listened carefully to last Sunday’s sermon, you would know full well how I think about these matters. The apostate covenant people spent seventy years in the grip of Babylon, and I’m sure that our time under foreign domination will not be any less.In This Hour

Reading and Writing
Since students at this young age vary greatly in readiness for reading and writing, Individual Studies, Grade 1, offers two tracks of reading and writing plans: A and B. Select the track that best fits your student and follow that track’s plans throughout the year. Track A—For students who are just starting out to learn to read and write. They know the letters and the sounds and have done some word building with short vowels, long vowels, and a few blends. They may or may not know how to write the letters. Track A plans use Delightful Reading, First Steps, Days Go By, More Days Go By, and Delightful Handwriting. Track B—For students who can already read many words and short sentences and can print letters but need more practice reading and writing to gain fluency. Track B plans use Busy Times, More Busy Times, and A Child’s Copybook Reader, Volumes 1–3.Science
