20/21 School Year - Week 3

-

We were able to accomplish a lot this week.

Sunday we had home church and rested most of the day.

Monday School:

Together we read Matthew Chapter 1 and did our trivia bible study. We also got some socializing in with our friends on zoom. 😉

Logan turned in his report on the Louisiana Purchase.  He learned the definition of a line in Geometry and did the corresponding problems. He also brushed up on his paragraph writing in English.

Savannah turned in her report on The Alamo. She did the introduction and lesson 1 in Spanish. She also learned about exponential notation on Math.

Lillian turned in her report on Thomas Jefferson. (We are so glad he was a foody and brought so many yummy foods to America!) She worked on her dictionary skills in English.

Monday afternoon Logan had a teen council meeting, dad took him.  The girls and I worked on cleaning up our camper and getting it ready for our camping season.

Tuesday School:

Together we read Matthew Chapter 2, did our Trivia Bible study, and we watched "The Blue and The Gray" to learn more about The Civil War.  We are ready to move into the 1900's now. We also did a descriptive paragraph in Write Shop.

Logan worked on adverbs and adjectives in English. He did his personal Bible study.  He also did some reading.

Savannah did her personal Bible study.  She made homemade lip scrub and face scrub in home ec.  She learned about radicals in Algebra 1.

Lillian did her personal Bible study. She continued her refresher on dictionary skills. She started her project on Harriett Tubman.


Tuesday evening we bathed all the dogs and moved Shifu indoors.  We are hoping he will learn to be a good house dog so our chickens can run out of their own during the day.

Wednesday School:

Together we read Matthew Chapter 3.  We did our trivia bible study. Everyone did their personal Bible studies.

Logan learned about radius, diameter, and compasses in Geometry.

Savannah did a math check up in Algebra 1.

Lillian worked on adding and subtracting numbers in the 1,000's.

Wednesday evening the kids had Collide Church on Zoom.

Thursday School:








Together we read Matthew Chapter 4.  We also took school pictures.  We made glow in the dark slime in Chemistry.

Here are my favorite pics:






Logan continued to learn about compasses.

Savannah continued to learn about radicals

Lillian continued adding and subtracting in the 1,000's.

Thursday evening we didn't do much of anything.

Friday:

Logan and Dad had doctor appointments.  Our town was out of power for awhile so it was complicated getting medicine filled.


Savannah worked on learning how to substitute ingredients on recipes in Home Ec. She made some wonderful brownies. This is the last one, I almost didn't get a picture before they were all gone!

Lillian completed her project on Harriett Tubman and then played.

Friday evening everyone watched movies.

Saturday:

I ran errands most of the day. Then spent time putting up groceries and arranging the pantry. 

Dad and the children worked on rocket building.






I have not slept well in several days.  I'm so hoping tonight I'll sleep better!

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...
