A Mother’s Musing’s

Today we were able to get so much school stuff done quickly! WooHOO I love these days!  Our day started with Bible then English where K did his Cumulative Review, History which is almost done (!), Math Review of lessons learned, and to make his astronomy notebook, so we got in some Arts and Crafts!  Sigh, if only all days went this well.  K received a 100% on his history test and did really well on his mathmatics system review.  We are using the Professor B's math program as we were really bored with BJU Math.  Much of this disk is review for K but that never hurts!  He enjoys it as it is computer based and has a notebook for reviewing and to further the lessons.

N worked on Seasons today.  He seems to understand but we will review next week.  He tends to identify the seasons by what weather occurs, for example instead of Winter he calls it snow season, Fall is leaf season and summer is beach season,  Spring is rain time.  I really want him to grasp the differences because we have rain in all seasons and snow sometimes in 3 of the seasons but sometimes not much at all.  You can see the confusion?  He is able to know it as in common knowledge but I want him to grasp it firmly so we will review next week.  He has finished with sequencing and he has also been writing.  He has learned to write his name but needs reminding of the letter formation and order.  I am more than please with this as he is only 4!!  I must admit that I felt compelled to teach him sooner as my girlfriend's daughter who is only 3 is writing her name and it is LONG!!!  I know, I know bad momma.  I'm glad though as it brought me to a scripture about comparing and the Bible says it is not wise.  Still, it let me think on some other skills to work with him on.  Now I approach it with a better attitude and if he isn't getting it or if he is struggling or not showing interest, I can let it ride and just offer him encouragement instead of feeling like he "must get it and get it right now!". 

R is doing well.  He is my little chunky muffin.  He napped all through school time and I took some pics of him sleeping.  He is a thumb sucker!!!! HA! just like his daddy.  Well, like his daddy used to be.  I should probably calrify that so no one thinks he still sucks his thumb! LOL I wish I knew how to post pics or I would.  Someday I'll figure it all out!

Well, it's off to get some house cleaning done and get these banshees working.  Right now K is pretending to be a bad doctor and is pretending to poison his brother N.  He just told me he's looking for the "tube" that leads right to the heart!!! Only he would come up with something like that! Honestly, where does he get it from???? Well atleast he's trying to revive him now. Sheesh! 

Til next time! Keep your kids away from the Science Channel!lol

I wish ALL days were like that!!! We didn't have school today. That was one of our birthday gifts to our son, nintendomaster. That was the BEST present of all for him.

It is really neat to read other blogs and see how/what they are doing. So many times they bring back such wonderful memories of when my children were smaller and the funny things they did. Our two daughters are now 20 and 19. I can't believe how time flies.

Thanks for the memories!

Blessings~

A place to ramble, a place to get on my soapbox, a place to contemplate and a place to whine; a place to be heard. Isn't that what we all want?
