And Spring Break Comes

Just as Our Lord promised, the season
has changed. Welcome Spring!

Enter: the great American roadtrip!



Finding the presence and care of God around every corner...





The Homeschool galloped through the city...



across bridges and through the woods...



and rested by the water.





Now, really, God is good.
Even though the trees still looked naked,
and lacking-life...
all felt the warmth of the sun,
swung in the breeze,
and held high hopes for the days ahead!

Praise You, oh Father of Jacob,
You who never sleeps and cares for
our every need. Thanks to You with much
honor and glory,
as You are that which keeps us safe.
In Jesus name, Amen.

Monday Before

Before spring break comes,
there should be self-disciplined teachers
and students completing the
lessons in their planners...

When given the choice of reading or laundry,
Student chose reading...first.



Choices, choices...these are the things of life.

As for Warrior,
he put on a smile and his thinking cap to complete a puzzle BEFORE reading.



Teacher is delighted in the differences that God instilled in each of them when knitting them together. As reading usually comes first for Student, Warrior would rather get some fist-pumping action on with each puzzle-piece that connects!
Hulk style, of course!

Among his other assignments, Warrior chose to peek ahead in his self-led Art projects. Since he is a summer baby, he anxiously is awaiting the coming of the next season and his birthday. So, in spirit of SUMMER, here's Uncle Sam!



And what's that bushy beard one may ask?

Teacher's stash of poly stuffing makes all things great!



Surviving seatwork, Student is rather encouraged by the tidbits of information in
Math as she began the World Unit.



And with eyes on the spring break prize, Student journals of her excitement to leave the campus!



Lord, grant us the patience to complete the task at hand, with all our might, as we await our roadtrip. Amen.

Friday Halfie

Blame Teacher and her passion: sewing.
Homeschool Halfie today!

Not just any project, but an experiment!



And really, while seatwork had it's place with Student, Mascot found himself creating, too!



Is there a rule that SHARP objects don't get into the hands of a toddler?
Well, he was learning about patterns, and he's a stunt man, really.
Not to say that Principal condoned this pattern exercise, because he did NOT!

As for Warrior, he graduated from his short vowel books and Mrs. Tonya would be so proud!



Teacher sensed a bit of pride from Warrior himself, as he lay the books out in order.

Hes almost beginning to show Kindergarten potential! Maturity and all!

Thursday Protest

WE WON'T GO!

WE WON'T GO!

Inside that is, the days of March
are upon the Homeschool.

Seatwork is so timely finished when there
is a reward waiting outside the window!

Yes, sunshine is a reward so cherished...
but Student's NEW..BIG bike awaited her!



Along with a surprise visit from Principal, the morning
was blessed with unity.



Warrior is no stranger to cycling, either.
As he zoooooms here and there,
the camera keeps track of him.



And when the great outdoors isn't enough to fill their bellies,
they wander in for food!



Student prepares breadsticks for supper during Warrior's naptime.



And rise they do, just as the sun did by the
direction of the Creator today.
My of my, what a wonderful day!

Wednesday Dirt

When sickness arises, The Homeschool calls for a Halfie
and instructs in bed when capable...



Student tromped down the stairs to take refuge in Teacher's bed. AKA: sick bed.

Reading aloud some hymn history, Rebecca and Student vetoed other
subjects for the Halfie, so it was a slow day.



Others find the energy to get into the dirt and clean...



Learning necessary flushing skills while he is at it...
Mascot gets to work in the bathroom.



And why not put things back in their correct places?
That he did.
Clean up in the bathroom was a FIRST for him,
and it was a success.



Where IS that Warrior, anyhow?

Tuesday Anew

Anew and outside!

After breakfast with a fellow student, Student joined in on the brightness.



Hop on Pop...or whatever word one reads.



Warrior got a hang of this game in no time!



Don't count Mascot out, yet...he gets to cut out the READ part,
but follow through with the WALK part!

And Warrior knows just when recess begins...





Student shed new light on a review continent quiz.



Yes, she kows which state Anna Maria Horner lives in!

And, Student also knows when it is time to say when...



Though she dearly loves Math and Mr. Clock, the day is reserved now for play!

Monday School

Beginning the morning with thanks,
the Homeschool brings praise
and honor
to the King of Kings.

And who is to say we cannot do all things for His glory?
He just may get a kick out of jumping rope!
Can't wait to get to Heaven and figure out how to
double-dutch!







And for less movement of the physical,
but much of the mental...



Warrior and Student have fallen for the battle of checkers.
The good sports that they are,
makes it all the easier for the afternoon to pass
as Teacher works on other things.

And when Mascot finds himself ready for nap,
a cuddly book reading is in store.



There's no substitute for a wee one on campus.
This Mascot is growing, indeed...
growing each of us into more patient
and loving souls along the way!

Thank you, Father above, for Your
blessings of people, presence
and property. Amen.
