Fall semester is now in session!
There is a focus in our home that has been missing for some time, now. Scheduling how to serve God through so many venues, has always caused some stress and hurry in our daily lives. Now that our energies for serving are focused to our children in homeschooling, there is an amazing calmness and relationship budding between all of us. Thank you God, for establishing the work of our hands.
Our day began on cozy covers with the beginner reader Bible. Student picked 3 stories to read aloud. This was such a focus for her, today. I know that the schedule of a classroom has to work on time to fit in everything that is expected to be taught. And here, at homeschool, we have a schedule, but when Student kept reading, and reading, I was so thankful to have the opportunity to let her continue. My expectations were for her to re aloud 1 story. I am so glad there is no teeth-pulling included in her Reading these days! I was not this avid of a reader as a child, and I pray that this love would continue for her.
Continuing with our Space studies in Science, student is rapidly growing in anticipation of our field trip to the Cosmosphere. We had the opportunity to learn about the big bang theory, and see how it contrasts with what is taught in The Holy Bible.
To begin our day thanking the Lord, our Art lesson today included creating both the American and Christian flags for our allegiance pledges. Student enjoyed painting with gouche on each. Though this would have been a fun opportunity for sewing, applique of 50 stars sounded much too ambitious. So, we are saving that for our Sew session this evening when Student will create a doll with her cousin. The scraps are collected, and Student has her fav fabs ready to go!
Flashcards have become the definition of fun for Student! Her eyes light up when we pull them out, and when Dad steps in the door, he is bombarded with them! Even Toddler is getting a feel for how to use them and teach Student. Also, to prepare us for upcoming Math learning, Student created a number chart from 100 to 200 today. Teach us to number our days, oh Lord.
Student: It was fun painting it! It was hard to paint around the 50 stars.
I really enjoyed drawing my altar picture from the 450 prophets of baal and Elijah story.
Yeah, I am excited for sewing night.
