Week 8

-

We had a very busy week!

This week in school:

History: We did not do any history this week.


Science: Lillian studied more about the skeletal system. Logan and Savannah did not do any formal science this week at home.

Math: Lillian took her next test and worked through her next Pace. Logan worked through his next few lessons in math and so did Savannah.

Language: Logan is working on reading The Illiad and he had a free writing assignment.  Savannah did two lessons in IEW and one free writing assignment. She is also still writing her own novel. Lillian worked through several lessons in Explode the Code and penmanship. She also took several reading comprehension tests this week.

Photography and Psychology: Logan completed two modules in Psychology. He read one chapter in photography, but has not turned in his photos yet for the week.


Fashion: I've been looking for ways to inspire my girls to dress fashionably yet conservative as they get older. I came across a book by Candace Cameron Burr that has been perfect. They love the book, and I do too! She is a great Christian inspiration for them. I hope to find more books in the future from different Christian Actresses.  Savannah and Lillian have both been trying out some new cute ideas this week.


Music: Logan and Lillian had music lessons on Monday. We finally found Lillian a used mandolin, but it turns out it can't be repaired to use. It really ruffles my feathers when people sell things they know are broken. We will keep looking.  Savannah has fallen behind in her piano, but we plan on fixing that this upcoming week.


Homeschool Group Co-op classes:

Lillian is taking two classes, Under the Sea and Fall into Crafts. She loved both classes and had a blast. She is my social butterfly and co-op classes are her favorite thing!

Savannah is also taking two classes, Rockin' with Rocks and God's Beautiful Girls.  This girl is finally coming out of her shell in group settings. She said she loves both classes and had funny stories to tell from both.

Logan also signed up for two classes, Storm Chasers and Clean up and a Debate class. He really enjoyed his classes, he is mostly excited about debate! He had fun stories from both classes too.

I am hosting Parent's Hour this fall. I was very nervous, but it turned out good. This is such a wonderful group of women! They are very encouraging and fun to be around.


The girls finished some puzzles this week.

Add in 3 doctor's appointments, church, a meeting with a new case manager for Logan, two days of trying to get all my new medication, and just normal household stuff and we were running all week!

It is all worth it though!


I'm still waiting on those cooler fall temps to get here!!

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...
