Official back to school 2020/2021

-
We are getting a slow start, but we are getting back into the swing of school all day.

We started the week with home church. Then we went on a Sunday drive.  We ended up at a new to us location on a nearby lake. It was beautiful.



We had a 4 day school week.

Logan did two presentations this week, one on the stars and constellations, the other on Henry Hudson.  He also completed his summer math, worked on a writing assignment, and did some Bible studies. Logan also took an online class called Strokes of Genius, where he learned some art history.




Savannah did two presentations this week, one on wind and the other on electricity.  She also completed her summer math, worked on a writing assignment, and did some Bible studies.



Lillian also did two presentations this week, hers were on Amelia Earhart and Martin Luther King Jr. She did some math, writing, and Bible studies.





We watched NASA launch the rocket to Mars with the Perseverance.  We watched Hidden Figures to go along with our space and equal rights talks this week.

We also finished our World Geography course from our summer studies.

Other happenings this week:

Monday we got to visit with friends on zoom. This has been so fun!

Thursday night I had a meeting.

Friday Logan got his braces taken off his teeth. We are so glad this is wrapping up!!

We ended the week today with a birthday party for our dogs. Buddy and Patriot turned 3, Shifu turned 1. Lillian did a great job planning the party and making the dog cakes.









Have a great 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...

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...
