Student is continuing her studies of the ocean. The creature of focus was the majestic angelfish. Student learned:
The fish grows bigger in the ocean. It is smaller in a tank. A kid angelfish is about 2 1/2 inches. They live by the coral reef, but not by Florida. You have to go to Australia to the Indian Ocean. The natural habitat God designed is warm saltwater. Is my natural habitat a belly?
Teacher: Well, we were created for a far better place than this!
Student: Oh yeah! So my natural habitat is heaven?! Then this isn't my home?! Good. That's really good to know.
Teacher: Amen!
The majestic angelfish swam over to the subject of Art as well. Student is learning about portraits and drawing something how it looks through your eye, as closely to the way appears in real life. But, Teacher used the word DRAW only and didn't specify that COLORING is included. Thus, Student produced a colorful angelfish indeed, just not acurate to the design of God. That's when we remembered that this life is preparation for Heaven and maybe God's preparing her to be a fish designer in Heaven! We all know the world could use more pink and purple, so why not begin the revamping in Art?! GO STUDENT!
In preparation for Valentine's Friday Party, Student made cards for our homeschool pals that will be coming over to celebrate. Her leftover paper scraps and goodies were from her Art time with Mrs. Nancy. What a blessing! How many times can God go before us and set the details in a row? Keep it up, Lord! We are thankful for Your constant care!
That ever-present angelfish also jumped out of the water and into Biology! No, we usually don't study multiple types of Science, today just happened! Student was amazed at God's intricate design of cells. How can people be deceived and think we just happened? Our conversation was of her new vocab:
cell
nucleus
chromosome
DNA
And, thanks to God above, violin is back and harder than ever! Student is being challenged with note reading and this is a whole different dimension of practice, and time, that Teacher never even saw coming! So, we ask for our Father's care in creating time for each of the tasks He has planned for this and every day! Amen.
