School continues on!
I really haven’t determined what our summer schedule will look like yet – but we usually have a structured “school” time everyday during the summer as well.
Right now we are still using our winter schedule and enjoying our days very much!
We start our “school” day after the kids have a 7 a.m. breakfast, and then do their chores and their personal Bible time.
I sing a Bible song to call everyone to the counter at 8:30!
They probably come running so I will stop singing, ha, ha!
Our Bible time consists of singing, a devotional time, and prayer and it is so, so, so sweet.
Next Chad gets to work at the desk, I get Lane going on his work, and then I teach Tate and Eliza their phonics, math and reading.
Sometimes we have a mascot!
Tate has carried his elephant every. single. place. he goes for the last week or so!
Lane loves to read his Science lessons and then make a journal entry about what he learned.
Such treasures these journals are!
I am doing a bird unit study with the three youngest ones right now and it is super fun!
I ordered lots and lots of bird books.
The kiddos watch videos about birds too!
We have been filling our yard with things for the birds!
Things for them to make nests with…..
and things for them to eat!
At 11 o’clock the younger kiddos have what we call “Lane time” where Lane takes them downstairs so I can meet with Chad to help him with his school!
Chad loves his Mystery of History curriculum!
This day he was learning about Vietnam.
Chad did typing lessons back in sixth grade, and for practice I have him type his Science study guides.
We have read aloud time for a half hour before lunch and then another half hour after lunch.
We also finish up anything we need to after lunch as well – like this spelling test!
I am excited to pray about our summer schedule and see what the Lord brings to my mind!
I can hardly believe it is already MAY!
These days with these precious kiddos are such a HUGE blessing, and, Lord willing, I am looking forward to many more!!
I love reading your posts. They are so powerful and full of joy from ordinary things, the way you appreciate every small thing.
I wanted to mention that this Saturday is Global Big Day, a day when people all over the US (world?) spend a little bit of their time watching birds, recording the species they see, and submitting their results to Cornell Ornithology Lab. They even offer a free app to help identify species.
My 13-year old birder will spend part of this Saturday keeping track of all the species he sees. May be yours would enjoy it as well 🙂
Lucie, you are sweet! The Joy of the Lord is my strength!! Thank you for sharing about Global Big Day! The boys will love this!
