Week 10

-

Logan flew his drone while waiting for his turn.

Fall temperatures have arrived!! We have really enjoyed the weather this week and spent as much time as possible outside.

In school:

History: We discussed Joseph and his life in Egypt.  Then we had our test over the time period between Abraham and Joseph.  We then discussed Hammurabi and the Israelite captivity in Egypt.



Science: We started the week with a test over the first unit.  We then discussed the days of creation and the flood.  We really focused on the effects the flood would have had on the Earth. Savannah also did a water skin project.  She also made a igneous rock from starburst in her science co-op class this week.  Logan made a tornado in a bottle in his science co-op class and discussed the aftermath of tornadoes. Lillian is learning about ocean life in her science co-op class.


Language Arts: There was lots of reading this week for everyone.  They also all completed three lessons in their curriculums. Logan is working on a book report of "The Illiad."

Math: Everyone continued on in their lessons.

Psychology and Photography: Logan just continued on in his lessons.

Music: Logan has played his instruments as he could this week.  Savannah did one day of lessons on the piano.

Art: Lillian completed several pieces of artwork in her "Fall into Crafts" co-op class.

Poetry: We finally started our poetry lessons! We are learning about Alfred Lord Tennyson first.


In other happenings:

Sunday we were not all feeling great so we stayed home from church. We had home church, Dad led us in a Bible study on Daniel. Then the kids watched the Daniel episode of Sheep Snacks.

Monday was a beautiful day. We did most of our school outside. Then just enjoyed the evening.








Tuesday we had a 4H meeting.  We went on a wagon tour of the blackland prairie wma. We have taken this tour before, but we always learn something and enjoy it. The kids also got in the canoe and posed for pics for one of the educators.





After 4H we went to our first Trap event of the school year.  This year we are going to be able to participate in trap with a group of other homeschoolers!! We are very excited about this!




Wednesday Dad went to church business meeting.  I wasn't feeling great so I stayed home with the kids.  We sat around the fire and went star gazing for meteors. Logan and I both saw a couple, the girls didn't.



Thursday we stayed home and enjoyed the weather. Logan helped me grill supper.

Friday was co-op classes in the morning.  The kids and I are still loving co-op! I feel very blessed for our family to be a part of this group of like minded families.  Friday afternoon we helped Dad around the yard and house with several projects.



Saturday was deer hunting and more outside projects!

It was a very 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...

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...
