Student had a rest in between dribbling and running with her pal Jo.
Who could complete their visit to the Rec without a lil'
Littlest Pet Shop play, anyway?!
Recently blessed with some books from our Church Family, Uncle Author has made his way into the hearts of both Student and Toddler! Thanks Bill & Marylin! A four set volume from 1950, Teresina and Coals of Fire were their recent paper adventures. Also, in Reading, we read and contrasted 2 poems:
Twas the Night Before Christmas
Twas the Night Before Jesus Came
Geography took it's warm lesson from the old skool today, also. Grandmother sent some Gilligan's Island episodes to the Homeschool this week! No, they aren't as innocent as Teacher remembers, but with a mind as inquisitive as Student's, nothing gets past her! Her fav line today was from Gilligan himself:
"...I can't pretend to be MaryAnn, I look dreadful in pigtails!"
Finishing our episode of Hawaiian comedy, Student swiveled the globe to locate The Pacific and Hawaii for Principal. Ode to our Navy Service-Pal Sarah!
Math has introduced yet another skip-counting method: counting by 25s. When running a Post Office errand, Principal worked such numbers with Student, and by the time they arrived back at the Homeschool, she had it down! Through quarters and seatwork, Student ended the lesson quite confident. Of course Auntie Barb's count to 30 request, when counting by 25s brought her some smiles!
History is wrapping up in I Kings, and continuing to II Kings.
In Language, Student ventured through explanations of contractions. Upon her grocery-store sighting, Student purchased a journal with her $5 Christmas card money... (thanks Grammie)!
She began writing today and can't wait to wake up and continue tomorrow!
Ending the day with Awana and Christmas light tour through the dark streets of town, we rest in the promise of Christ's return! Heaven Homeschool will surely be even brighter!
