The Lord placed home schooling on my heart long before I even thought about getting married! This is record of the Lord's work in our lives and in our home school. Let HIS will be done!

Short School Week!

I have Thursday and Friday planned to take off. Squeak wasn't feeling well on Monday so that day became a "sick day". We worked on school Tuesday and today.

Here are some highlights:

-We are reading about Joseph and his unwavering faith in God during his "rollercoaster" of a life
- Squeak completed her phonics packet that I put together
-A chapter in Singapore Math was completed
-We are reading about pilgrims during our snack/story time
-The girls completed a few projects from Carol's craft package

Packy turns 3 on Sunday!!!!!!!!!!!!

The girls are working on a puppy project and an earth project:

Weekly Report 10/31 -11/4

I picked up a babysitting job 1-2 days a week so school has been slightly limited. We've been working mainly at night with Bible activities in the morning. Read aloud (snack/story time) has "suffered" the most but I think maybe I'll start reading a story while the kids snack at our babysitting gig.

We are taking two days off next week - Thursday and Friday.

Bible - We are starting to learn about my most favorite man in the Bible - JOSEPH! His faith in God is truly amazing and I hope the girls glean a lot from his life!

Math - Squeak completed two chapters in Singapore Math. We will take a break between 2b and 3a. I think 2b will last us through December.

English - Squeak is still working in phonics/reading with some complaint. This week I put together some pages from another book to make a "packet". Squeak can work through this packet (a break from BJU) and pick whichever pages she wants to do. It must be completed by Thursday.

Other - The girls have been working on fun crafts and projects. We are going to start reading If You Sailed on the Mayflower in 1620 for Thanksgiving as our snack/story time read aloud.

Here are some pictures: Packy holding her kitty puppet, Squeak doing some Patternables, the girls working on their fall tree project...
