Just a Little Note

This year, I'm incorporating a theme each week (or so). The themes will be based on a Bible verse and the Bible verses will go in alphabetical order. (At least that's the plan!) So just to catch you up:

Week 1:
     Theme: Faithfulness
     Verse: A faithful man will be richly blessed but one eager to get rich will not go unpunished. Prov 28:20

Week 2:
     Theme: Kindness
     Verse: Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you. Eph 4:32

Week 3:
     Theme: Purity
     Verse: Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me. Ps 51:10

Week 4: (This week)
     Theme: Prayer / Peace
     Verse: Do not anxious about anything but in everything by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God which transcends all understanding will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Also, some themes and verses may last for more than one week depending on how much we get done. Go easy on us. We're flexible!  :)  Love to all!

The First Few Weeks

It is my intention to blog every week. I'm excited that our homeschool routine is steadily solidifying and I'm sure I will be able to accomplish a weekly blog soon. Meanwhile, as I build up to a regularly scheduled program, I'll have to steal time whenever I can get it. So here are some pictures from our first few weeks of homeschooling to give you an idea of what we've been up to!

Our first week we had a guest! Charles Sergeant was happy to join us and we learned a lot about air pressure, flying and letters! (Charles is in Kindergarten this year.)

 

One of the projects we did in our first week was about air pressure. We learned about how birds fly. By blowing air across this straw, we were able to make the air pressure in the cup higher than the air pressure on top of the straw and guess what happened? The water came flying out and we got wet!! And that's how birds are able to fly!

 Caught my little on "reading"!  :)

Our theme for week 2 was Kindness. Mayah found all of the letters in our scavenger hunt!

Music Lessons during week 3! We're gonna play that piano somehow!!  :)

The following pictures were taken at the Brookfield Zoo.  Whenever TiTi Phia comes to Chicago, we have to do a cool outing for homeschool. Last semester it was the nature museum. This year we got to see all kinds of animals and paint our faces! We had so much fun!!

See you next time at Our Great Adventure Homeschool!!
