More snow, and a breakthrough-Feb 6th repost
Well, it’s snowing here…again. We have had more snow this year so far than I remember ever having. I’m really starting to get tired of winter. Winter ended up giving me an unwanted gift too. I slipped on a patch of ice last week, and my body went one way and my knee the other. So now, Mom is in a full leg brace for who knows how long while it heals. Just what I needed, huh?
The breakthrough is enough to make up for that however. I changed math curriculum a few weeks ago for A, to see if we could find an easier method so she can learn. We went with Miquon Math, and Cuisinaire rods for just about everything…and by George I think she has it! Please pray that she finally realizes that she CAN do it, and do it well. She is still a little unsure of herself, but she is using her fingers less and less to count on, and that is such a sweet gift for me.
So, the other good news is that my children LOVE Ancient History. We really starting in-depth Egyptian studying today, and they didn’t want to do anything else. Every book, picture, notebooking paper, lapbook, anything we have with something Egyptian, is now spread all over my diningroom table…
But for once I don’t mind at all…they are WANTING to study this, and learn all they can. And ya know what? I’m gonna let them. Don’t you just love homeschooling?
Blessings in Him
