Hello All! Hope everyone is healing over the weekend.
I had quite a few questions about what the children were supposed to be doing for work this time and I want to share my thoughts with you (more completely) on why we chose to have Homeschool Fridays - it wasn’t just to have Fridays at home. :) My goal is to integrate parents into each child’s learning experience. Because we were all raised and taught in a ‘get it done and check the box’ environment - it will take us all time to adjust to this - including me. I continue to learn and grow everyday.
That being said, I will be sending home all the books most Thursdays with your child/ren - along with any days the school closes for snow or other reasons. Outside of those books and science/social studies, we practice writing, math facts, reading, bible, sign language and a few other things every day. Learning at home, gives you as a parent a chance to give your child one-on-one attention and assess and give them extra help in whatever they are struggling with - if it’s reading (read extra) or math facts (practice) or writing. I pray we can learn to grow and learn with our children. Your child should know what math facts they practice and what bible verse to write - or if they are confused - I can point you in the right direction.
Jesus was never in a hurry and yet He accomplished everything He was sent to accomplish. He saved the world. I pray we can take yet another page from Jesus’ story and embrace the moments and people in front of us - and together, we ca re-make learning more about exploring this world and less about ‘getting it done’.
I feel very blessed to be surrounded with so many families willing to take on this challenge. I would love to hear feedback as we learn and grow together.
Now the pics!!!
Thanks Kyle and Andrew for the less on plant species! Also the visit to Wookey’s this week was amazing! God Bless!
