Week 4-Getting Ready for Fair

-
Our week started with the kids doing a small skit at church. They were very nervous, but they did a great job.





Then Dad helped the kids grow magic rocks.




This week in Bible study we "walked with the professor." We are still liking this Bible study.

In science we ivestigated the inventions of Braille, blenders, and bubble gum.  We also worked in our lapbook and learned about Virginia Apgar.

Math this week was all Saxon math, everyone just continued their lessons.

We continued our read aloud with Nathaniel Bowditch. We are learning a lot about navigation!

We only did one lesson in History this week.

Language Arts, everyone continued in their individual lessons.  We only got two lessons each done.





We had a homeschool co-op class this week.  It was Geography Through Art.  The kids had a good time.






Other things that happened this week...

We worked a lot on items for the fair.  We did several sewing projects and worked on pieces for two different 4H booths.













We had music night at the farm and Lillian had Taekwondo.


Lillian stayed the night with Meme and Papa so she could go fishing with them.


Logan and Savannah went to a 4H cooking workshop.


We worked in the hay field a little bit.



We had a 4H meeting.  They made really neat candles! I can see us doing this again for gifts. They also worked on fair booth items.




Logan and Savannah had formal music lessons.

I had a doctor's appointment.

It was a terribly busy week, but a fullfilling week!

Week 4 in Review

I really can't believe it is September!  This was our 4th week in school. We still are not doing every subject every day.  What we typically try to do is one day we do our morning subjects of Meteorology, Bible, Geography, Art, Math, and Language Arts, and then the next day do our afternoon subjects of PE/Health, History, Spelling for Savannah, Reading for Lillian, Logan's Elective, Writing, and Science.  We do this until we are familiar with our new curriculum and are more independent so I can divide my time up where I am most needed. We do this until after fair week. For some reason we are never able to get full days of school in until after fair.  I use to fight this and get all stressed out about not having full days...now we just roll with it.  We still end the year right where we need to be, and we get to enjoy getting started back in school instead of it being stressful. Here are a few highlights of this past week. The week started on Sunday with churc...

I didn't keep day to day records this week, but here are the highlights. We had church on church days. 😊 We celebrated an Adoption of some friends of ours. They make such a lovely family, and we will continue to pray for their growth and bonding. Lillian did a couple of science experiments.  She made a tornado in a bottle and an ocean in a bottle. Dad had help from the kids this week with the barn. They finished enclosing it.  All they lack now is making the doors. Lillian, Buddy, and I went to the park one morning. We picked a theme for our homeschool year.  It is going to be "Having Fun in Arkansas."  We are planning to try and visit quite a few state parks that we have not visited before. We will also try to take in a few festivals, AGFC classes, or just look around at what we can find. We were in the hay field one afternoon. Lillian was a great helper. One of our cats had kittens. We have lots of deer coming to o...

Deuteronomy 31:8 "The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.  Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged." I know Jesus is always with me.  I know He will never leave me.  I take great comfort in that knowledge.  However I often forget the last part of that verse, to not be afraid.  Even more often, I forget to not be discouraged.  I have found myself discouraged a lot this week, and even some pretty scary events have happened this week, one of which is not my story to tell.  We are struggling.  I pray we all find our footing, and joy again soon. Last Saturday when we went to pick up the kids from Meme and Papa's, Logan had made knickerbocker glory from his Harry Potter cookbook.  It was delicious! He did an amazing job! Sunday the kids stayed with Meme and Papa again while Shane and I went to church to teach our classes.  The flu is so bad here!  We are trying to keep f...
