Week 39- It's May Y'all!

-

This school year has been full of accomplishments!  It has also been a year of changes, which has left a lot of decisions to be made for next year. We are officially finished with history and science.  The kids are still working on building their rockets, but that is it for history.  We will be using the monthly science calendar from The Homeschool Scientist. So our schedules have gone from detailed lesson plans to this:


We will continue to work on Bible (a few more lessons), math, and language arts.  However they are just continuing one lesson a day, so not much to record.  We have three weeks left of our official school year before summer break, but we will be much more relaxed in our schedules.  We have two more weeks of extracurricular activities, then we will just have some 4H activities sprinkled around.

I did not take great notes this week, but here's what I remember!

In school:

Bible: We did two lessons in A Content Heart.  We have two lessons left.

Language Arts and Math: Everyone just continued on.

Logan started and completed his reading fair board.



In extra curricular:

There was trap practice.



The kids swam in the pool.


I planted some tomato plants.


Church

The Reading Fair and Ice Cream Social






Then we took the camper to the lake for a vacation.  There has been some grumpiness, and tired people.  However it has been a good trip overall.  We plan on going home Monday evening or Tuesday morning.  We have fished, played games, watched wildlife, sat by the fire, and watched for the meteor shower.













I'm looking forward to a lot less things to do outside of our home! I'm ready to stay home and work on spring cleaning and the garden!

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...
