Day 9 & 10

Day 9,
We continue to learn different stories of the bible, today we read about Goliath and David, we talked about what it means to be brave and to trust in the Lord. Isaac was telling me.. "I am really brave mom." He makes me smile all the time :)
I am so thankful that he has the confidence to tell me that he is strong, brave and has what it takes to do the things he wants to do! 
Thank you Lord for your grace! 
We talked more about prayer and that it is something he can do anytime he wants too, that God is always listening. 
We talked about how God made the clouds today, so we decided to do cloud making for craft time. 
I love that he always had a buddy to do stuff with!

For Math, we did a lot of comparison, biggest to smallest, we measured our families traced feet, we did numbers up to 8, still following our Right start math. Math is a hard subject to blog on..right now..not a lot to talk about. I do love that this program has tonnes of games that you can do with your lesson. We use the abacus, blocks, and even strips of paper all different lengths so that you can graph them.

For PE today we went on a nature bike ride. We found huge sunflowers and a spider that camouflages in the middle of the flower. It's funny, as soon as I explain something to him with a words he doesn't recognize, he needs to know what it means...we had to have a little mini lesson on camouflages on the middle of the bike ride! We also talked about stranger danger again and who a stranger is and what we should do if we are ever lost and need help. 

There is more, but honestly I am boring myself with details... I need to find a better approach to this blog. Not feeling it today...



Friday Day 10:
Isaac worked on his scrapbook today, he said his favourite thing this week was riding the horses!! 
We also started some sprout seeds to watch them grow as we covered life cycles of plants and waters cycles this week in science.
Isaac is reading a little already! I haven't got any little books yet that are his level so I made a silly sentence from a BOB book...please...please don't criticize my drawings...I am NO artist!!! hahaha!! 
I know...right...it's bad. LOL! 

The boys came with me to the store and we filled our bag for the rotary food drive, we talked about what kind of people that would be receiving these items, we talked about why we give, what it feels like to give. Then we were able to drop it off and get a tour of the food bank. The young gent there was so nice, he explained the whole process to us, he showed us how they check the food to make sure it's not expired, where it gets organized, then where it gets put into hampers, and then where the people go to choose the food. It was amazing, we talked about volunteer work and paid work and what the differences are. We are thankful for all the volunteers that make organizations like these one run smoothly in our community!

  1. That was such a great idea about the food drive! You are so good at making the everyday stuff a learning experience. I tend to just shoo the kids out so I can have some peace and quiet while I do my tasks rather than include them. You inspire me Char, your blog is not boring :)
