This month was lots of fun!
Groundhogs day gave us a chance to guess what the groundhog would see. Brook and I both guessed 6 more weeks of winter while all 3 children guessed he would not see his shadow and we would get an early spring. While the idea is fun we did have a great time learning how God placed each season where He wants them. We also did lots of shadow talk :o)
We also had a great president's week. We went to the library and the kids each picked 4 or 5 books about presidents :o) We did worksheets, played president games and learned a lot about what it takes to become the president.
On February 17th we had Ash Wednesday :o) This is the first year that the children have been involved in Lent. Learning to give something up for God is a humbling lesson. We talked about what it all means. Not it being a ritual or routine but as a humbling experience in your life. I had the children brainstorm on ideas to what they could give to God :o) The next morning I was pleasantly surprised with 3 answers. Alex and Melodey both wanted to give God their stubborn hearts and Tylor wanted to ask God to help him learn to listen better. What a precious time in my children's lives!
We also spent this month getting ready for the PACHA geography fair. We learned all about Scotland and had a great time learning all this information. Unfortunately we all got the flu this week and were not able to go :o( But the children did learn a lot and that really is the whole point :o)
March will bring us spring lessons, St. Patrick's Day, preparation of Easter and also the start of our Science presentations. Tylor will be studying and then presenting a report on the weather while Melodey and Alex are going to be working on dinosaurs. I think we will all study them all, but let them each do their own presentation for the May promotion and science fair!

January 2010
We have done quite a lot this month! With my subbing at the local high school, Brook has taken over a couple of days a week. He is an amazing Daddy and teacher!
We had a Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Lots of fun activities and our best day of school was our 100th day of school.
We made 10 groups of 10 and glued the objects to 100s cut out of construction paper. We had 100 PE with 100 toe touches, 100 jumping jacks, ect. We did a 100 beat song with the rhythm instruments. Wrote 100 books. It was a blast!
February is full of fun days as there is so many lessons in the month alone. Today we talked about the groundhog, taking a poll on what we thought the groundhog would see or not see :o) Momma and Daddy won, as we picked 6 weeks of winter. We are going to keep track of the olympics, we have Valentine's day, Lincoln and Washington's Birthdays, Black history month and I have a book all about Ruby Bridges. We also have Momma's birthday and a Valentine's slumber party planned. We also are doing a geography fair on the 26th. Our family is learning all about Scotland, as my great grandmother was born there. We also are starting the book Where the Red Fern Grows and at some point going on a field trip to where the book takes place :o)
Busy Busy, but fun! And I would change a thing about our lives!
