Days 9 and 10
The kids and George are at Kid's Day for Conservation, and it must be good because they have been gone for quite a few hours. I am counting this as a homeschool day since it will tie into our energy studies in Science/Physics. Can't wait to hear about what they learned today! George is the substitute teacher, and I am getting some much needed rest from homeschool. I don't think I am any busier than I was last year, but I am much more tired now than I was before. I think it is because of my surgery. So, I spent much of today soaking in the Word which was so wonderful to my soul. I spend the morning in Acts and this afternoon in James. They both go together so nicely!
I didn't journal on Friday (Day 9). We finished up our study of John 1 and watched the Gospel of John DVD for just that chapter. It really helps cement this, and I am praying that this will send our kids on a lifetime of loving God's word and digging into it.
I know I did history, but I can't, for the life of me, remember what we studied yesterday. Isn't that terrible? We also worked on geography by putting together a puzzle of the United States two times. We did it in 12 1/2 minutes the second time. I am hoping this helps cement the states in their mind.
We did not get to science today. What did we do for the 2 1/2 hours? I am drawing a big blank!
We did our regular seatwork. I did do math with Paul before Michael got up this morning. So, I only had Michael in the afternoon for math. I have a system down for the problems, and it is going well. I am saving the answers for when Paul uses the same book in order not to have to figure out the problems again.
We saw the Rohrer family again, and it is so nice to be with old friends! Their kids were so kind and loving and fun with our kids. We came home and looked up New Hampshire on the map and dreamed about going to the East Coast for a vacation some day.
I spent a good part of the day after homeschool typing out a game plan for history. I had made a timeline, but I hadn't incorporated the Story of the World Volume 3 because I didn't have it when I listed out all the readers, read-alouds and history books. I also hadn't redone the schedule for this year since I had made it to get through last year, and the book didn't come until most of the year was over. So, it took me hours, but I managed to complete it by the time we went to see the Rohrers.
Michael finished Ramona Quimby, Age 8 by reading late into the evening. He only has Ramona Forever and Ramona's World to finish the Henry/Ramona fest. They are home, better go!
