today's scripture reading was in isaiah.  after a discussion on the verses we started school.  since math is a real struggle for ben i periodically have him do review and that's what he did today. no books, just quiz time!  oh how he loved it!  lol 

while he enjoyed himself with this parker and started science .we read about fish today. he thinks the transparent ones are funny! i used a world wildlife foundation magazine to study from.

hannah worked on math and letters in her workbook a little.  she didn't do much but i never push her- she's only 4!!!

parker was doing an art project while she did this and she joined him and rebekah when we were done.  today they colored kites and tied the strings on ( with help from big sissy that is! :) )

by now ben was ready for more work. he worked on grammar. didn't do all that well i'm sorry to say but i could see where he was trying. he was just getting some concepts confused with each other. 

parker worked on handwriting  during that time. he has a book on  george washington and he did copywork from there.

when ben was done with grammar he did his handwriting , from proverbs again.

a break for lunch- pb&j  today.  apples for dessert.

bike riding was how the children occupied their time while i was on the phone with sarah's heart dr.  she is having surgery next week and i needed to make sure of a few things.  she is having 2 patches put on holes she has on her valve and ventricle.  please pray for us!  also pray becuz we have no place to stay while we are there and there's no promise that the ronald macdonald house will have room for us! :(  i admit- i'm a little worried!   peace Lord, peace.

more medieviel castles for ben then he worked on a bike  he is fixing for his new bike business.  he made $10 last week.

"in between the lions" and "reading rainbow" for the littles while i made more phone calls concerning insurance for the surgery.

then parker and hannah took turns (  sort of ) on the computer.  parker went to www.starfall.com  and hannah went to barney at www.pbskids.org  .  parker is learning about compound words .

all the littles helped sarah make cookies. since we can't find the correct measuring cups they really got a lesson in fractions! lol

then we visited with the neighbors and came in to start dinner- tuna casserole.

i realize parker needed more bookwork today but phone calls took up so much of my time! oh well- that's the beauty of homeschooling. there's always tomorrow! :)
