Thursday Things to Read

Beginning our morning of learning in Warrior's bedroom as he had his separate computer turn,
Mascot wanted his share of the flag-holding duties for pledges.



Trying to do her Spelling list of special sounds dge as in fudge, ch as in chorus and suffix review, Mascot was right in on the seatwork as well.



Pinkalicious was the first of the day's Reading. All from Student to Warrior, Teacher listened to their words from the other room. God's ways of making the little things work, is the heart of Homeschool. So often big plans are the focus, and as in life, it's the little daily things that are making it all worthwhile.

Reading also took place at the library. As we left the Homeschool for Student's first lesson back after sickness, we thought to make an afternoon of outings in the sun! Riding bikes from place to place, Student was readying her legs for soccer while Warrior is focused on readying his muscles for tee ball come summer!

Again, the little things, like walking as buddies, times of sibling togetherness that result inn love. Only God could orchestrate such peace out of sibling chaos!



Working together in playtime at the park, we knew our afternoon was fading and we must return to the Homeschool for seatwork. And once arrived, Student worked on Mathematics and wrote her sweet kite story and read it aloud:
Sally's Kite
One day Sally got a kite for her birthday!
She went outside to play with it.
She ran out to fly it it went up into the sky.
"Oh!!! Look mom the kite went into the tree!" the kite got stuck. DADDY! got the lattr
DADDY! can reach it! HooRay DAD saved the Day!!! By Student

Reading also from The American Revolution from A to Z, Warrior wanted to answer each question with a sure bet of an answer: George Washington. Every question, every answer throughout the reading. Now that's just like the sure answer in Sunday School:Jesus! He's got it down.

Finishing the day reading from Fancy Nancy A to Z Fancy WOrds, Student has a favorite for today: Z is for Zany. Daddy is zany!
Speaking of Principal, the kids created some springtime Art for him. List of needed suuplies:
pink cotton balls
white cotton balls
scissors

LOVE
They let their bunnies hop to be with Principal at work and smiled as they left a trail of cut paper, broken crayons and glue puddles behind...
