Well, Homeschooling is going great... me keeping this blog up-to-date... not so much! I will work harder at it! This homeschooling is no joke. Most evenings I am reviewing my lessons for the next day and searching online to see if there is anything fun that I can add to it. I wouldn't change it for the world though, I am loving it! This week our Bible Stories were; Jacob's Lie, Jacob's Dream, Jacob meets Rachel, and Joseph's Dream. A couple of the crafts that we did to go along with that were we made cut out hearts and we put band-aids on them to remember that lie's hurt, and we also made a colorful weaved paper as a reminder of Joseph and his coat of many colors. For Math we talked about; before, after and in between, measuring, maps, and left to right. For Language; we did a cool exercise where I would give Hayley two words and she had to put them into a sentence, we also practiced listening (pretty much like a Simon Says game), What's missing (where I would lay a couple things out, have them look at them, close there eyes and take something away to see if they could remember what was missing, and hand eye coordination where they practiced lacing. We also learned about taking care of our eyes and we did a mini eye exam, where they had to show me what way the E was pointing.
Our God's World Theme for this week was birds, and we learned about the parts or birds, read books about birds, colored birds and even got to visit and hold birds! Friends of ours have two parakeets and we went and visited them and the girls each got to have the bird stand on their hand.
Our Character Trait this week was Dependability and our Bible Verse was Matthew 5:37 Simply, let your yes be yes and your no; no.
