Lillian-4th Grade

-

Lillian my sweet, sweet beautiful baby, definitely isn't a baby anymore!


She is so quickly growing up. Lillian is very much in the discovery stage. She loves to try new things and is trying so hard to find her place in this big world!


If I could only use two words to describe Lillian they would be "joyfully adventurous." She brings so much joy and laughter into my life, our home, and to our family.


She lives for a good adventure. She loves to explore and travel.  She would much rather be outside on an adventure than pretty much anything else. Well, except maybe hosting a party!


She brightens up every room she walks in to.  I'm very blessed to call her my daughter, and I am so thankful that God gave her to me!


Lillian will be in the 4th grade this year!  My biggest plans for her this year are to still encourage fun in learning.  I also want her to read, read, and read! Her reading skills really skyrocketed through the summer.


Here are her curriculum choices for this school year:


English- She will be using "Explode the Code" and "A Reason for Handwriting" to cement her language arts skills.  She will also be using a set of story cubes to strengthen her storytelling skills.


Math- Lillian will be using PACE Math for Grade 4 this year. She actually likes Math, she just wanted to make a silly face!


Science- We will be doing Creation Science together as a family.  Lillian will do the elementary assignments.


History- We will be using Mystery of History Vol 1 as a family.  Lillian will complete the elementary level assignments.


Art- Lillian loves art, and has chosen to continue art lessons.  She will be using "See the Light with Pat Knepley" for her curriculum.


Just for fun learning- Lillian is super interested in everything about bodies, human and animal. She found this small human body science kit at the homeschool convention, she is really excited about starting this curriculum!


Her extracurricular activities for this year will be:

4H Sharp Shooters Club

Homeschool Group Activities

Church youth group activities


She really hasn't found a hobby she really loves yet.  I keep trying to convince her that she is still young, and she has plenty of time. However, she really wants to find her "thing."  I can see her trying some new things this year!




Lillian has such a huge heart, and loves with every bit of it!


This girl is going places, I can just feel it!

Lillian is the 5th generation in my family to drive this tractor!!

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...
