Week 36

-
We found out this week that Dad will be working from home until the end of May. So, our homeschooling is going to look a bit different. He is going to be teaching Logan in his Agri Basic Woodworking Class.  We will also help him whenever he needs help on building fences or store work.

We still have not gotten bored with our covid-19 quarantine. There always seems to be plenty of work to do!

In school this week:


Read Aloud: We read our Holy Week Scriptures every day this week.

Math: Everyone completed 3 lessons in math this week.


Art: We updated our fridge fine art pictures.



History: Since we finished Mystery of History Vol. 1 last week, we did a review over the timeline. Then we moved into studying Medieval History.

English: Everyone worked on various assignments in the language arts spectrum this week. It is mostly review time for the year.





Agri: Logan worked a couple of days with his Dad building shelves in the store. He did an awesome job!


Co-op classes: Lillian had a zoom class on Friday.

Other activities this week:




Sunday after video church we went outside and discovered that one of our goats had her babies. We had just shut her up earlier in the day because we knew she was getting close!



Monday we did an egg and spoon obstacle race.




Tuesday we played a game of croquet, Wilson family rules. 😄



Wednesday the kids searched for rocks, then I painted them into a tic tac toe game. Then we had some tic tac toe championship games. Logan also received his monthly box in the mail. We surprised him with a fishing box!







Thursday we worked in the garden all day! Then that night we had our Passover dinner.




Friday we went over to Meme and Papa's house. Dad helped set post for a new fence. Friday evening we took Easter pics.




Saturday was just a normal Saturday. We caught up on housework, played some video games, and we dyed Easter eggs. Savannah made cupcakes.



One day Savannah helped Dad in the store. Lillian also did some cross stitching one day.


I also finished putting a face on Raggedy Andy, so both dolls are complete.


The kids even went swimming in the cold cold pool one day!

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...
