Today isn't going very well. Grrr....for one it's rainy and dreary and the kids want to be outside sooooo bad. It's hard to tell them no you can't play out side when it's rainy and cold.

School time was long and seemed like it drove on forever.

We start with Awans's memory work. He does great in this. Sometimes I have him copy the verse for penmanship practice as well. We read a page from the leading little ones to God about every other day.

We then listen to some music. Sometimes it's wee sing bible songs, or classical music sometimes it's sill song to get the kids up and moving around.

For History I started the Columbus book today it, actually kept PR's attention because they talked about "Pirates". He colored the columbus picture and did the best coloring job I think he's ever done. If you know PR, you would know he's not very creative, never the artys type unless it includes 2 tons of glue! So we're working on more coloring to help with those "motor skills".

For language arts we are memorizing "The Caterpillar" by Christina G. Rosetti (I'm sue that is spelled wrong) but it's a sweet little poem. PR is GREAT at memorization it is definitely one of his strengths. We also talked about all our (common nouns) family members.

No gym today unless you count driving Mommy up the wall several times LOL

For Math we have been working on time and money along with double digits and simple fractions. Paul really seems to enjoy math.

Science we are using Apologia Astronomy. I really thought PR would like this since he's a HUGE
Star Wars fanatic. It seems as if her dreads it. He did pretty well with the science journal notebook so we'll have to do more in that. But if it’s something I have to read to him or have him read a lot of he doesn’t want to do it.

For penmanship I've been having him write in this wipe off book, he likes having a marker to do his work.

He also does a daily journal entry. It usually states how much he misses Daddy because he's at work.

To much not enough? What do you think?
