Week 18

-



Savannah has been playing again. I so love to hear her play!

This week in school:

Bible: Continuing on in our study of Phillipians this week we discussed our attitudes at home.  Our Bible study stated that we should try to make our homes like a little piece of heaven by showing kindness for each other, being humble, and trying to be helpful to one another in our family.  I hope my children grow up knowing our home is a safe place of love that they can always return to.

Science: We worked in our Rock Folders this week and discussed the rock cycle.

Math: Each child is continuing with one lesson a day.

Read Aloud: We finished "The Ears of Louis." It was a cute book, but not a favorite.  We will be reading winter/Christmas books now until break. We also finished our nightly read aloud, "The Great Turkey Walk.". Dad and the kids all loved this book, I honestly can't formulate an opinion on it.  We started "In a Blue Velvet Dress" at bedtime..it is keeping us wanting to know who is responsible for the mysterious books!! Everyone begs for one more chapter!

History: The girls and I finished reading The American Girl Meet Kit book.  We also finished our discussion on the great depression.  We have watched "Booky and The Secret Santa" every Christmas Season, so the kids pulled from that for relevance.  We also watched some Shirley Temple movies. We will also be watching "It's a Wonderful Life" tonight to finish up this section in our history. We will start our last American girl history section next week.  So I'll have to find something new for after break. Logan is continuing on with his history.

Language Arts: Everyone is continuing on just fine.  Lillian and Logan are both doing great in their new books.  Savannah is still really liking hers and moving right along.

P.E.: We started something new this week.  For about 40 minutes each morning we do areobic style exercises outside.  By Wednesday we could all tell we were out of shape, we were all sore!!

Other happenings this week:

Advent week of "Peace" and started our Jesse Tree nightly scripture.

Monday, Lillian had her next test in Taekwondo.  She was more nervous this time, but passed to the next level with ease!




Tuesday, Meme and I went to our church's ladies Christmas party. The kids went Christmas shopping with Dad.

Wednesday, we stayed home.  My surburban broke down Monday and it was still in the shop so we couldn't go anywhere.

Thursday, We took a trip to the zoo and Logan had a doctor's appointment.




Friday, our class was rescheduled, so we stayed home all day!!

I hope you all had a blessed 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...

Summer Week 9

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...
