20/21 School Year - Week 15

-

 We started the week on Sunday still at the lake.  We had a very enjoyable trip and had lots of fun.


Monday we started back to school after a much needed break feeling refreshed.  The kids worked on their PACE booklets and their book reports. We also started our USA Geography.  We are using a monthly subscription box from highlights along with a large cloth color in map.  We began with Georgia.

Tuesday and Wednesday morning I had in-service learning about a new fishing curriculum offered through AGFC.  The kids worked on the PACE booklets and book reports again.  Wednesday evening Logan had Trap practice.

Thursday was just another normal school day, Lillian finished up her book reports.  Logan and Savannah finished up on a couple of PACE booklets.  Thursday evening we went and had our pictures taken.  This was the first time we have had a family portrait taken in several years. Here are some snap shots that Shane and I took. The real pictures have not came in yet. After we finished getting our pictures taken, we went to an outdoor movie with our homeschool friends.  







Friday morning the kids and I headed back to Texarkana to do some volunteer work with the Runnin' WJ Ranch.  We all had a good time and enjoyed getting to help with this amazing company.


Saturday was just a typical day.  Everyone rested, played some video games, and did a few chores.  Savannah planned our family fall fest this year.  She did an amazing job and we had a great time Saturday evening dressing up, eating a delicious meal, having some wonderful snacks, and watching Scooby Doo outside around the fire pit.






This week I was also able to finally find a little box turtle for Lillian to observe for a few days!

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...
