Getting Ready Week 😁

-
So this week has consisted of a lot of praying and preparing for the official school year to begin. The kids and I did get our school room together, I think it is going to work really well.


The kids have worked on individual learning and reading.

Dad has been doing a "People in the Bible" study with us every day.

I have been doing a "Tame the Tongue" Bible study with everyone once a day.


I have had three days of teacher in-service this week. I've really enjoyed most of it.  I have some new ideas to use this year.

The kids are each working on a non fiction book project to share with each other next week.

I had one complete day working with a group of ladies to try and make safe plans for our homeschool group for the fall.

I spent a lot of time researching ideas, printing forms, filling out paperwork.

Logan had to go back to Little Rock for his prothesis.

Lillian did some creating with a new media, molecule clay.  You know this virus is really getting to her, she made a Covid19 virus cell and a flu virus cell. ☹️. It is really beginning to weigh on her.




I didn't get any pictures, but I did pick up Arkansas road maps for each kid, we had lots of fun studying the map, looking at roads, and finding places we have visited.  I can see us using these maps a lot.

I did get some pictures of our calves this week when we were out at the farm.






We also had this little spider riding around with us one day.

Hope you had a great 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...

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...

Week 26

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...
