Friday Fun

Note to Teacher: When a company spends efforts and finances to apply a wrist string for helping camera-users NOT to drop and break their camers, one should use it. THE END

After Teacher learned a lesson and dropped the Homeschool camera, learning proceeded for all others as well. Expanding our knowledge daily, we began our end-of-the-week learning in Bible History. Student and Warrior finished pledges and began the lesson on the good Samaritan.

Student then had to read a list of 3-5 instructions, and then follow them in order without re-reading them. She did this well, and even cracked quite a few smiles. After Reading her Amelia Bedilia book from cousin Maggie, we all had some laughs about directions and ow careful we need to be to include specifics and certain language. Thus, Student wrote her directions for Warrior as follows:
First read Snuggle puppy.
Next Find something ruby red.
Lastly take a nap

And he didn't argue a word, but succinctly followed her every direction. If the instructions are written he apparently doesn't call it BOSSY! We'll make note of this and have more writing in the future Student just to keep the peace on those rainy days of much indoor play!

Math was the only seatwork for our day. And that was all we scrunched in before our afternoon 2.5 mile ride to and from the park! Meeting Amiee and the troops for some good ol' Pre-Spring Activity!

Truly, the days are passing. And our May Day goal of ending First Grade's year of assignments is nearing...we can't be any more thankful! God has allowed this year of obedience in Homeschooling to be successful and enjoyable. Though as all things He calls us to do, they sometimes bring us out of our comfort zone, Homeschool has created new insight for all of us. Just as marriage and parenting in general are not easy or always comfortable, God comforts us not to make us comfortable but to make us comforters. Thanks to our Father for calling us to this mission that is great in His eyes, and worth the work in ours!
