We had a great week last week. Jewel is getting so much more confident with math, and is plugging along with her addition facts. We have finally arrived at more concrete history studies in the curriculum (as opposed to social studies of people groups and housing). Jewel is fascinated with early history. She is asking lots of questions and is very engaged with the study which is great for her mommy/teacher. Her Bible memory work this week is John 3:16. Here, again, she is asking lots of questions about the Bible stories we read and the "Leading Little Ones to God" book. It is wonderful to see her work at putting it all together in her head.
Flower added two more letters (k and r) to the ones she has learned to write. She is so proud of herself when she learns something new. She was a little distracted this week during story time. I'm thinking she needs a short break.
Saturday we went to a stage production of "Seussical" a musical based on Dr. Seuss characters. It was really good. Flower was especially mesmerized. Then Sunday both girls were cast as angels for the upcoming church production and began learning how to sing "Away in a Manger." They are very cute, even if they are totally cast against character!
This week we are slowing down and just doing some Thanksgiving activities and some activities to complete our latest book Mr. Popper's Penguins. We'll go back to a light schedule next week, then spend the rest of December concentrating on Advent activities. They are ready for a lighter schedule for a little while.
