First Day of School 2006
We got off to a nice start today. Did an dance/chant around the house "First day of school, hey! First day of school, hey!" marching and punching arms out sideways and up. Then onto a short period of "seat time. Thomas sitting on my left, Mari on my right and Irene toddling around trying to get our attention.
We are again using curriculum by the David and Marie Hazel. This year is Adventures in My Father's World. A heavy focus on U.S. History will undoubtably teach me a thing or two as well as give the children a good overview.
I was delighted to hear Thomas say "COOL!" at least 4 times today as something new was learned or experienced. What an awesome thing to be there for all those "light bulb moments" that our children experience.
Irene is catching on fast mimicking her older brother and sister. When she saw them put their hand over their hearts to recite (learn for Mari) the Pledge of Allegiance, she quickly did the same. What a cutie!
I am certain that her not napping this year during the morning hours, like she did last school year, will be the biggest challenge in getting school done in the morning. It will undoubtably trickle into the afternoon and even could go into the evening hours, as I am not capable of large blocks of time for school. Three homemade meals each day (and all snacks for me too), is a time consuming portion that I must commit to, as I continue to watch and manage my Crohn's disease.
Please pray for our school year with us. That the children will continue to learn, that their character development will be God focused and that homeschooling will continue to be a way of life for us. One that we enjoy and that has been placed on our hearts by God, our almighty!
Blessings to you!
