Winter Wednesday

Yes, as Teacher is posting, the snow is coming down! Happy Winter is a month early!

Mornings, mornings, what are they good for? The Homeschool votes for stretching, Spelling and Bible Lesson before playdate! Here's our Vowel Jumping game with Student's current list of words.





Thanks to Kaia and Kien for playing so well this morning. From Play-Doh to Transformers, they action-play was complete!

Continuing in Math with tally marks and graphs, Student chose 5 colors in the living room and tallies how many times they appeared and then created this bar graph. And she reached the half-way mark in her Health lessons for the year!



As though the blank space shouldn't be left there, just EMPTY, she filled it with design. A bar graph with PIZAZZ! Now that's our student. Warrior didn't complete his Math and counting until he weaseled Teacher into delaying his nap! (And it's the iMac, our only camera right now, that reflects the images and the letters are BACKWARDS! )

As for Social Studies, Warrior learned about veterinarians and their role in serving our community. Student, reviewed the symbols of America and the first Thanksgiving. Speaking of holidays, we are counting down to the BREAK next week!

Warrior's Reading continued with his ladders and is ready to add another special sound tomorrow. Here's his choice of iMac photo with his letter ladder.



Awana finds itself into our schedule, as it's Wednesday, and so Warrior works on his memory verse John 3:16. He's not quite there, but with the help of a song he'll be there in no time. Blessings of unity in datenight for Teacher & Principal during the kiddos' time away!

Old Skool Tuesday

Tuesday being filled to the brim with SUNSHINE,
the longings of Student and Warrior were heard and fulfilled.

To the Park for play...

**PICTURE**

Mascot enjoyed the geese the most. He pointed and exclaimed GGGEE! That guy is growing up, too!

Teacher spent the morning at the quilter's and thus, the only morning seat work completed was Student's Reading. As though her starting and finishing a book last night and this morning contend she needs Reading seatwork. No, it's just that her love is growing with super force!

Getting her to the park was the only way to distract her from the pages!

**PICTURE**

Our Holy Bible Reading came from Isaiah today, and the kiddos drew pictures of the depiction in chapter 66, the first verse.

"The Lord says, the Heaven's are His thrown,
and earth is His footstool."

Social Studies brought more safety procedures for Warrior's learning. This lesson's focus was on firefighters and fire dangers. Student's lesson, however, focused on freedoms in this country. She also completed an exercise of the pledge to our country worded in children's terms.

After Math seatwork, Spelling brought Student to a new list, and she played WORD SALAD with her new list today. A game of using the letters within a list word to make another from those letters as possible.

Having super school during naptime really brought Warrior smiles in the beginning. However, as the lessons moved on, Teacher still stands to confirm that mornings are his key learning time! Better try again, tomorrow!

Oh yeah, the OLD SKOOL part of our learning was because we are OFFICIALLY NON-PHOTOSHOP people until Principal can restore the Applications folder Mascot erased...so we
We'll try to use the iMac for pictures tomorrow. Oh what things an uninformed user can accomplish on a computer that many regular users cannot!

Monday Anew

Super school has officially begun, again!

Thanks be to God for His plan of health. All is restored at the Homeschool and ready for a week full of renewing the inner-body, as the outer gets older ans weaker each day.

Reading through Ecc chapter 3 was familiar to both Warrior and Student. Teacher is saying NUMEROUS times per day that there IS a time for everything. That's how Warrior gets away from his war men and comes to the table for seatwork!

Favorite parts of our Holy Bible reading:
Warrior: a time to build up

Student: a time to speak, a time to laugh

Teacher: a time to sew, a time to be silent

Warrior continues in his Handwriting and Reading through his APPLE book. Quite a jump that boy has made since beginning the phonetic process. He will now write and read his written words without presence from Teacher. Today he focused on the vowel "U" and loved reading such manly words among the preschool ones:
putt
puck

Completing more seasonal activities, each used Photoshop to create their gratitude list and design play to increase their computer skills. Teacher saved Warrior's in a low resolution and thus it's blurry, but still so much a four year-old boy's brain...



And as for Student, she has shown her God-gifted heart much in this list...




And a quick list from Teacher...



Not only were all students present, today, but the Hoemschool allows pets to tag along for learning, if they sit underneath the table, that is...



Student used some of the scraps from Teacher's boss and created an outfit for doggy's day at Homeschool. Yes, she was quite well behaved.

And at the request of Principal, the Homeschool began it's day with some stretching in no particular order or squad line...



Flexing and pointing toes, talking of muscles and bones, in between growing like trees, these bodies and minds began in unison today!



Mascot found his place at the table for seatwork among the Reading, journaling and math tests...



He's even taken after Warrior and came to learn minus a shirt!

Finishing super school with enough time to rest. Away goes the Homeschool to return tomorrow, God-willing!

Friday School

Beginning the road to restored health.

Thanking God that Principal has regained his
composure to aid the rest of we sick people.

There is a time for everything. He has made all things beautiful
in its time.

Thursday School

Super sick.

And so go the best laid plans of mice and men...

Super school to continue NEXT week!

May God restore the health of the Homeschool and give us strength and courage to tackle that which pollutes us at this time. Amen.

Wednesday School

Really sick.

No school.

Tuesday Anew

Yes, there was Mascot on pencil sharpen duty...and then there was the rest of us...



SICK DAY!

No school.
