We have traveled from Ancient Egypt back to Creation and then forward through the wilderness. It has been an interesting trip and we have learned a lot.
We have also learned about dimes, pennies, and dollars. We are working on mastering the days of the week and the calendar. Number recognition has been a big thing. With a little help from Dad, they are recognizing lots of numbers and Mom is still sane. (I wondered there for a few days.) We have finished the first grade primer and are working on mastering the difference between long and short vowel sounds. Most of all they have developed a love for reading! Yippee!! This morning to congratulate them I gave them their new readers. I had to remind myself that I wanted them to love to read when they were trying to get ready for town walking around reading their readers! (I just hope it lasts.)
We have had ups and downs; good days and bad days, but we have seen the hand of God work as we learn to work together in a whole new realm.
Yes, Brett does like to goof off in school.
These are a few pictures of the one art project we pulled off this nine weeks. I should have did many more and I planned to, but somehow it just did not happen. We will have to try harder next time. Bri made an Egyptian doll and Brett made an Egyptian serpent headed throwing stick. The best part for them was the painting and I realized why I don't get the paint out very often.
