My trio and I have been enjoying our school work this fall very much!
It seems so far, though, that my goals are too lofty – because a lot of the good stuff I have in my head is not getting done.
Life is FULL, folks!!
I’m smart enough to know that winter is coming…and we will have plenty of long winter hours for things like learning a new medium in art, and reading aloud the long list of books I hope to read to these kiddos!
I will say that our rhythm is working, expected, a blessing to keep us purposeful, and enjoyed!!
Here is a glimpse of the things that we are enjoying!
Bible memory.
We work on it every school day and these kiddos have dozens upon dozens of verses deep in their hearts.
Chalk pastels.
We have done them as a group twice now – can’t wait to get to this more often!!
A daily morning break to get outside.
We usually take a bike ride!
A new book.
This book is FANTASTIC.
The analogy to salvation is INCREDIBLE.
We are enjoying it fully and it sparks SO much discussion!
Highly recommended.
Library day.
Good books are hard to find, as I am sure you know.
But I work hard at this!
I want our kiddos to enjoy reading and for it to be worthwhile!
Science experiments.
It’s Lane’s love language!
And it stops everything else when he is doing one – because we can’t miss out!
Illustrations and narrations.
They work hard on these – drawing amazing pictures and retelling things perfectly that I have read to them.
I LOVE illustrations and narrations – there is SO much learning going on in drawing and writing about what you have just learned!
Read aloud while doing paint by sticker books.
I’m not sure I should say it’s our most favorite time of our day, well, because everything is our most favorite time of our day – but this activity is high on our favorites list!!
Piano practice and lessons.
These two have made such HUGE strides in this area in just over one year!
They both just moved up to level six after passing their assessment tests last weekend.
STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) class for Lane.
It has been a game changer and I am SUPER glad I am not in charge of it!
Blake is!
I do not speak this language, if you know what I mean, ha, ha.
I get more teary eyed these days than I ever have about things like “school.”
I mean, it’s JUST SCHOOL, right?
But IT’S NOT.
It’s about a lady, who begged God for children when she couldn’t have them, who is now in her mid 50’s spending every single blessed day with the literal answer to those prayers!
It’s about three enthusiastic, full-of-life children whom this teary eyed lady does NOT deserve!
It’s about not only those enthusiastic children’s learning and growth – but MORE about the teary eyed lady’s learning and growth as well!
Our school days just took on a new twist, by the way, as they are now featuring a NaiNai school day where my GRANDBABIES COME OVER AND I TEACH THEM TOO!!!
I know you already know.
There are tears in my eyes right now!!
You all.
I would have never guessed how God would write my story.
EVER.
SO thankful He is the ONE in control!
Thank you, Jesus, for these precious days!!
Looking forward, Lord willing, to many more!!
As always, I so enjoy reading your encouraging posts! Would you mind sharing more about the method you use for Scripture Memorization? It looks very organized which is what I need!:) Thank you!
Thank you for following along! Here is a great post about the Bible memory system we use – it’s not where I learned how to use it, but is very clear and well said!
