I LOVE routine.
And schedules!
We finally are living them both!
Once things slowed down, I switched a few things on the schedule, but it has stayed the same for the most part.
It is working nicely.
So is our little school room!
Tate and Eliza have been working on shapes in Math lately.
We also worked on graphs for a bit!
We have been memorizing Proverbs 16:24 “Pleasant words are as an honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.”
So we studied about honey!
Tate and Eliza are both doing AMAZING learning phonics blends and reading short words.
I think out of all my years of teaching, teaching the kiddos to read is my favorite!
We were using My Father’s World first grade curriculum for Tate and Eliza, but I feel now that we are part way through it that the littles are not ready to complete it quite yet.
So I switched things up and started on lesson 60 something of an ABeka kindergarten curriculum that I had.
We will pick up with the first grade curriculum when the littles are more ready!
The My Father’s World curriculum included all of the subjects though, so now that I am not doing that I have added FIAR (Five In A Row) to our days.
I LOVE FIAR.
LOVE, love.
I am wanting to study winter, snow, hibernation, migration, etc.
Maybe our first book after Thanksgiving break will be this one!
We have been learning about the seasons the last few weeks.
They LOVE to make crafts!
I have been stocking up on books from the library and we read aloud everyday.
I also have a chapter book I am reading aloud to the littles, and another chapter book I am reading aloud to all four.
Such a sweet time of our day – and spread out in three half hour chunks!
I did some read aloud with the littles about Thanksgiving, of course!
Chad is going to be my challenge!
My Mom always said he was going to be book smart – and, oh boy, is he ever!
I am going to have to up my game with this one!
Lane is doing great in his work too.
These kiddos make my job SO easy!
Well, there’s a small peak into our school days!
I have been a teacher for a lot of years now, and I am still loving it SO very much!
It is not lost on me how the Lord answers my daily prayers.
Prayers to fill me with His strength for this calling He has burdened us with to home school.
Prayers to burden me with the best choices for these kiddos and their days.
The JOY of the Lord is my strength!!
Ask and you will receive!!
