Homeschool Mother's Journal - My First of 2012



In my life this week...

We enjoyed temps we aren't used to for winter time. However, this change in weather for us though brought the opportunity for our children to ride their new bikes from their Uncle. This time also provided an opportunity for our 8 year old to actually have time enough to ride on a flat surface to learn to ride without training wheels. Yes I realize she is a late learner but if you saw the hill we just moved off of you would understand. We lived on it for 4 years. :( Poor kiddo. 

In our homeschool this week...

We successfully accomplished our 3rd full week (of also doubling up all of our work) back. It feels SOOOOO good!! 

My favorite thing this week was... 

Watching the smile on my 8 yr olds face when after one day of trying she mastered her brand new bike all by herself. It was amazing and simply... priceless! 

Things I am working on... 

Figuring out some new curriculum for next year. Just when I think I have found the "IT" one I find 2 others I think I like more. Oh the choices. 

A photo, video, link, or quote to share... 

My daughter riding her bike. Watching her do this... yeah she grew up in light years this week.  We also worked on her "fuel pack" for Sunday School. This new church offers this great weekly devotional for the kids K-5th grade. They earn fuel points for completely it and memorizing Bible verses during the week. I love how they are working towards keeping the kids in the Word between Sundays. They also firmly believe it's the parents that help building the foundation during the week and they are there to help. I think we are really going to love this church!!

What a wonderful accomplishment for your daughter! Two of my children were over seven and eight when they learned. I hope you have success in finding your new curriculum.
