We seem to have a case of the winter blues around here this week.  We have been dealing with lots of sickness. We have not had any snow, just lots of cold rain!

We did manage to accomplish some school this week:

Language Arts: Tom Sawyer, vocabulary words
Foundations: alertness, procrastination, time management
Thinking: Chess lessons

Home Ec: Logan prepared supper for us one night. He made Baby back ribs and steak fries.

Savannah:
Math: adding and subtracting negative decimals, fractions
Language: Marriage of Geraint, vocabulary words
Bible: Matthew
Biology: Body systems tests
History: translations of ancient languages, Hammurabi laws


Lillian:

Language Arts: reading comprehension, oral narration, rewriting of a story in own words, proper nouns
Science: nervous system, muscular system, skeleton system

Read Aloud: We started a new read aloud this week called "The Tinkers Armour."



Library: Everyone checked out new books to read for enjoyment. Savannah found a lot of books on the free table this week about becoming an author. Logan found one about the stock market.

Friday school:

Drive thru History: We finished the series on Rome.

King of Glory: We watched episodes on the fall of Satan and his angels and Adam and Eve being cast out of the garden.





Art: The kids designed fairy gardens.

Board game: Dad and the kids played a game of Sorry.



The only other things we did this week were set up the trampoline and I made some pumpkin preserves. We spent the rest of our time just trying to get well.

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...
