Beginning with all things BOY:
Ending with Reading together.
And the in-between?
Running around town distributing posters for the latest service project God has called the Homeschool to:
Japan Relief Benefit.
To be obedient in His establishing the work of our hands, yes, God establishing the work of our hands, we have landed in our fourth year of educating at the Homeschool. And wow are we amazed at the grace of God!

Monday Cooperation
That's how it's done.
Together.
If one can get along with their family, and learn Roman Numerals,
then one can get along with anyone! Isn't that how you learned it?
Warrior and Mascot retreated for some seatwork just in time for the scissors to break out.
Warrior has much to perfect in his cutting skills, it's true of any pre-k cutter. However, his cutting-etiquitte should also be addressed. Teacher? Go ahead and stop taking pictures to teach manners, thank you.
Couch school moves over to floor-pillow school for Student.
Sharing her story and drawing, her sentences and details are more in depth when she draws along with writing.
And to top-off the Monday, Principal brought an addition of new life in the form of an orchid.
Nothing like fresh flowers to remind us of the presence of God wherever we go, in all that we do.

Reading Wednesday
Catching up on his reading, Mascot
assumes position at the seatwork table
and quietly completes his work!
Ode to learning by example.
Don't think that it's all books
and no learning at play...
Finding his own quiet places, he's always busy.
Warrior doesn't mind having
distractions, and often has to be redirected,
but always finishes strong before the timer so as to secure his chocolate chip reward!
Student on the other hand, has known no stopping point,
and will finish up her Health studies soonest this semester.
Finding her learning to be fun,
most days.
It is pure joy to Teacher to have the opportunity to train
these children up in the way they should go.

Even when it means laundry!
Oh what blessings He hath bestowed upon us!

Friday Construction
Yes, the ONLY construction enjoyed during pre-winter weather...
Gingerbread Houses!
Beginning, and getting distracted by the fair weather, Warrior constructed a win block with two walls!
Student had planned to visit Great Papa Marshall and construct hers, so she let her guest go first.
It was ending up to be a wish box, as the triangular roof we didn't plan for, wasn't working with the curved store-brand crackers...so an adobe/wish box to hide a Christmas wish inside...that's what the Homeschool created.
And, working from the brain and not experience or directions...Teacher figured out, by the second attenpt, that the frosting really had to be specific-to-this project! So, adding egg whites and moving on, Student created hers...
Topped with pixie stick!
Treading across town to the Rec Center, energy bounded off the walls.
Then, witnessing the delightful weather, the sword fighting finished the afternoon after seatwork. All for one, one for all! Thanks, Lord above!

Winter Wednesday
Yes, it's getting colder.
No, the energy is NOT any less.
Yes, the world has seen a lot of the Homeschool, and Winter isn't officially here, yet!
Leaving campus for a playdate, Student had an Art project, as well!
She is always ready for play with little girls. And this she had. But the impromptu lesson on Tissue Ball construction was a welcome second! Thanks, Aunt Kathy.
Gathered for snack, even Mascot sat like a little gent. With all energy sitting still, they were recharged to head back to campus for lessons.
Lessons that would amount to only a Halfie, Warrior multi-tasked to make the most of his pre-nap learning! Snack AND Social Studies are an obvious match in his eyes!
Thank you, God of the universe, for taking care of our details this year of learning. May we do all our handiwork with all of our might... in Your name, Amen.

Tuesday, Really?
There are 5 school days to a week, we know this, we just rarely accomplish it! Alas, Tuesday came and went with learning smashed in the middle somewhere!
Activity was of course the highlight of the day, as Principal escorted Student and Toddler to the backyard for snow games. He loves to shovel a path of winding turns and twists for their boots to trod, with the occasional snowball distraction in their pathway. This time Teacher learned NOT to open the sliding door when there is a snowball in the hands of Principal, as his aim is too precise!
Math has had some speed drills and tests to be caught up, as Teacher made the administrative decision to skip ahead about 10 lessons. Student didn't mind, as she loves TESTS! Maybe because we don't finish until she's mastered it... who wouldn't mind such a grade written in RED?!
Art, always present at the Homeschool! Whether on paper, iPhone or iMac, the creativity is at work! Student continues to draw people, faces and body poses. This week, she'll transfer that practice into a portrait or two. Principal has a book in the works to showcase all of the faces that lurk throughout the Homeschool.
Violin, oh violin, we have planned for your appearance for two days,
how many times can we overlook you, let us count thy ways...
1-Can't find rosen or shoulder-rest
2-Can't find clean clothes so Student isn't dressed
3-Wonder how this tuner works
4-If Mrs. S saw our situation, she would surely laugh at our quirks
5-When can time slow down to fit it all in, at this request we can only pray & grin
Reading 2 more stories from James Marshall's chapter book Rats on the Roof, Student is using her 6 and a half-year-old brain to fine-tune those summarizing skills! Through books, and episodes of Little House on the Prairie. Though Summary is a new term for Student, anyone ever crosing paths with a young girl knows they can talk, when they want to. It's the organizing of those thoughts before they transform into words that is the trick! Today Student witnessed Country Girls, a fav of Teacher's from girlhood days. This must be one of our lessons in the Social Sciences, as the lack of sisterhood in the Homeschool persists, Student has to look to other sister pairs for wisdom and grace. Laura and Mary are just perrrfect!
Student didn't really care for the books, last summer when Grandmother gifted them. However, Grandmother wouldn't give up at that, but recently added the first season of LHOP to our Homeschool collection. Both Student and Toddler have gotten attached!
Life Skills continue on in life as planned by The Maker. Toddler helps fold diapers and set the table as Student organizes clutter and solves game-board missing-piece mysteries! All in a day of obedience at the Homeschool. As we continue to let the Lord establish the work of our hands, yes, the Lord to establish the work of our hands, may we ALL learn and grow in Him.
