Thursday First

Into the last month of the year, the semester will soon be gone! Teacher has high goals and expectations! Onward Homeschool, to the Spring semester!

Oh, WAIT! There's much to do FIRST!

Student began studies of the Holocaust. Beginning with the definition of this word: complete ashes. That alone is enough to make a grown man cry, God forgive us. God forgive YOUR children who sat in YOUR house for so long and prayed and acted in nothing to stop this evil that consumed this world You created. Oh, Lord, forgive us.

Student has been very curious, as she received an oral summary from Teacher before digging into the memorial museum website's encyclopedia. She'll follow this us tomorrow with an audio CD of a personal account, and then Ann Frank the movie next week. History WITH God makes for a much more interesting learning experience! Teacher just smiled at Student's remarks of LOVING HISTORY! Afterall, it is His-story. God IS in everything, it's up to people to search for Him.

And Warrior, seeking ways to make his daily rote exercises, anew, played number pool today!



After counting through the complete chart, he shot the ball at the number orally specifies by Teacher. And what a shot he is!

Reading in his latest library pick, Warrior gets answers for curious questions of WHY!?
Today's curious contestant was time and how animals, plants and people have an inner clock.



Preparing for the world of GETTING ALONG WITH OTHERS, but NOT adjusting the Bible's definition of truth, Student and Warrior find inventing new uses for old objects quite the group exercise!



But, when alone times comes, Student does enjoy the peace. She has finished her latest stash of reading material and the Homeschol just MUST find time to gallop over to the local library. Yes, she really would spend the whole school day reading, and so somedays, she does! Thanks to God for this love He has put in her heart!

Continuing with the virgin birth in our Bible lessons, the children spent some computer time arranging nativities. Nativity: the story of one's birth.

Student's symmetrical arrangement:



Warrior's high in-the-sky angel arrangement:



May each receive blessings of being in His perfect will...weather stormy or calm...right smack dab in the center, this Christmas season. Amen.
