Homeschool Time

Abbie and I have had fun, I think, in school lately. We are studying the American Girl Felicity which means we are learning about the time around 1774 in America. Yesterday we attempted to make rock candy but I'm not sure if this is going to work. I plan for us to try again tomorrow to make some more.

Abbie is also zipping along in her math program and doing a great job. I love that we have found a math program that she actually likes and is learning so much. This year we started with Teaching Textbooks and we plan to continue with this next year in 6th grade.

Valentine's Party at Church

This year we planned a Valentine's party at church.  Unfortunately for us the only snow we have received this winter came on the day of our scheduled party.  But that didn't stop us, we just postponed the party to the next Wednesday and had a great time.

Snow Day!

It started snowing yesterday afternoon and today this is how our house looks!  We don't get much snow around here so we have really had a good time building snowmen and having snowball fights.

Wednesday night at church

This is our class on Wednesday night at church.  We just finished making the bulletin board.  Toward the bottom of the picture you can see where we were playing Bible Pictionary.  This is a fun game where we draw pictures of Bible stories and then everyone gets to guess the correct story.
