Our days.........

Back in the saddle!!

Well, we're back in the schoolwork saddle, finally!  I'm SO glad to be back to a routine, and working on schoolwork.  Here's what we've done the last couple days....

Monday is our "errand day", so chores and school move fast, lol.  Mariah and I worked on math, while Megan worked on some worksheet type stuff.  Mariah and I were working on place value, Lesson 1 in MUS Alpha.  She's doing GREAT, except she still has trouble with the teens.  Anything without a 1 in the tens place tho, and she's got it, lol.  So we'll keep working on it this week.  Then Megan worked on MUS (She's flying thru alpha, did lessons 1-10 in 2 days, just to familiarize herself with the blocks and review a bit), while Mariah and I did reading.  We're finishing 100 Easy Lessons, and she's doing great at that.  Also doing flashcards of "common" words.  And working on Bob books and Dick and Jane books.  She's doing really well.  Then we started KONOS, Trust/Worry.  Yesterday, we read a book about worry (Felix and the Worrier), then read Mt. 6:25-34.  Then they illustrated it, and Megan copied part of a verse onto her drawing.  We discussed how worry affects us physically and mentally, and what God says about worry.

Today started about the same, chores, math/reading.  Megan went over how to write a paragraph and an essay, instead of doing worksheets, however.  Then for KONOS, we read about the life of Elijah, and talked about what it means for OUR lives.  We also talked about fears and worries WE have, and which ones are silly, and what we can do about them, silly or not.  Megan looked up and copied definitions for "worry", "fear" and "courage". 

Each day, they also work on their handwriting sheets which I make with StartWrite, of their memory verse for the week.  This week is "When I am afraid, I will put my trust in You", Psalms 56:3

Tomorrow we start on floating/ships.  Should be fun!

rofl.... i'm totally kidding - we dont start for two more weeks! rofl

and what a great study for you - worry/trust, any chance dh got to sit in on any of that?

((hugs))

This week we're focusing on getting into a routine with our CHORES - so when school starts we'll be adding ONLY school and NOT both... maybe that will come with more success? ya think?
