Pen Pal Update


This morning was blessed by Mrs. Nancy sharing with us about her recent trip to The Philippines in which she visited Student's pen pal in her home and school: Vanderpol Christian Academy. Pulling down the globe, Student saw where the islands are. Listening and looking at the presentation photos, Student got a heart-piercing look at poverty. I think of the Linebarger's and the way Mrs. Nancy said God has prepared them to help bring change to these parts of the world by educating the next generation. Educating them in The Word first and foremost. Student likes the fact that they have the same Abeka curriculum as she! So, this lesson of thankfulness and contentment was for more than just Student.

We made bread today to go with our cheeseburger soup from Mrs. Tonya. It is worth the flour mess because Toddler and Student create and reinvent for hours! Art never tasted so good!

Our time with cursive today was review. Student wasn't excited, as she hungers for new material and info and review isn't her favorite.

Math was her only seatwork today. Short and sweet as she is continuing with skip-counting.

And for her self-led project in Art, she fell right into our new season this week!

Student: I didn't know I wasn't going to find the other piece of the project that is seen in the picture here above my words I am saying. So, to fix the missing frame we went to Photoshop on our IMac, and we pushed on one of the other frames and copied it and put it on the part we were missing. There was still a piece on the one we copied...
