One Day at a Time


Feb. 7, 2008 - Grace Under Pressure

As expected the end of the week is getting busier and busier and full of extraordinary pressure. Mr. Pete is super busy at work, Calvin has his swimming sectionals TOMORROW, I still have one more speech to write for Saturday and of course, there is standing in front of that unknown crowd of engaged couples on Saturday, and last but not least my mom's 80th birthday is tomorrow but we are having her party here on Sunday! Besides all of the above I have my regular work and homeschooling stuff to do.

However, that doesn't mean homeschooling has to be the regular stuff! Today we put aside academics for a prolonged lesson on Lent and then our annual Lenten wreath for our table. This year I wanted to make the braided thorn wreath super big!! SO we tripled the recipe. Here's what we did and how it turned out.

After braiding the wreath, we all helped put in the toothpick thorns.

About Me

Pr 1:8 - Hear, my son, your father's instruction And do not forsake your mother's teaching; Ohio Law says: "An academic assessment report of the child must be sent to the superintendent annually. This report can be the results of a nationally normed, standardized test or it can be a written narrative indicating that a portfolio of the child's work has been reviewed by a certified teacher." This is our "on-line" portfolio! I hope to turn this into our chosen certified teacher, Dr. Karen Holinga, for her to review for the end of the year assessment.
