Guest Monday


Yes, a blessed Monday, indeed!
These sweet cousins spent a morning with us during homeschool, after a late night of family fun!

Having our Geography study together, Cousin M, the eldest, read to the others from a book about the Arctic animals. Toddler didn't stay around long, as he chose to have snack during lesson...we'll have to work on that! What boy wouldn't choose food over ANYTHING ELSE? Note to Teacher: snack after study.

Working in the Kids' Road Atlas, the girls used the California map to find cities with zoos, and highlight them before listing them in Northern-most order. Clearly the highlighter made the lesson! And cooperation was tip-top!

And for History, we read in Joshua about Rahab hiding the two spies. Of course the girls ran right outside to play spies! Bringing History to life is the only way to do it!
(Thank Student for the above typing while Mascot ate!)

Our 70 degree day of sunshine coaxed us to have a picnic at the neighborhood park. Running and carrying the lunchbox and thermos, we must have looked like a whole school with four kiddos on foot and one in the infant pack... as for tomorrow, we are back down to our normal three, including the sleepy Mascot, to continue our homeschool learning!

Well, not before a trip to the library and seatwork with Principal tonight!
