Back to School!

The first day of school began with making banana bread! Sweetness cracks the eggs, adds the sugar, butter and vanilla. Cutie Pie measures the flour, baking soda and baking powder! Then we mix it altogether adding the nuts and bananas last. YES, they’re still in their PJ’s and it is near 9 a.m.

While the bread is cooking we do our indoor and outdoor chores…

The bread is ready and I fill our handy dandy pampered chef décor tubes with softened cream cheese and we squirt different designs onto our yummy bread. Once our tummies were full it was time for school.


GOD!
We always start with prayer for our friends, family and our sponsored children in Africa. Then scripture memory from Jeremiah 29:11. Our Bible Story was about King Saul and how his disobedience and hasty attitude nearly led to his own son’s death. We discussed obedience and patience. Sweetness sang Leaning on the Everlasting Arms.

THREE R’s
Cutie Pie read the writing on the chalkboard “I CAN” then did two pages in Explode the Code Book 1 and practiced counting to 100.

Sweetness took her first spelling test: ’ I am begening to be a goo splr. ’ I will let you know how that improves by week end.

Three lessons in Primary Language Lessons including picture study, reading, verb/noun agreement. Also wrote a thank-you note.

Latin Review including a story in which she read all the highlighted Latin words.

Math -- Place value and measurements review.

Piano -- Going from numbered notes to letter notes. Sweetness was SURE she could not play that song, but with a little instruction and extra encouragement she DID it!

This was a fun light day and science and history will be added later next week after we get our groove back!

Not bad for the first day eh? Now I am thinking of adding gymnastics to our schedule on Thursdays…

My goals for this year: Be enthusiastic, quiet and meek spirited, challenge my children more and BELIEVE IN THEM! And most of all PRAY PRAY PRAY!
