We hit the books hard today. It was easy to stay in the books with all the snow outside. The kids worked really hard. This week we are learning about the tabernacle and how God had every part....down to the threads explained in the Bible. What a fun time we are having studying this together.
Then in Science we are starting to study the solar system.....we have a fun saying to try to remember the order of the planets, but the kids and I think that it may just be easier to memorize the planets than the saying!
Our day got away from us pretty quickly....we were going to clean out the driveway for John and noticed about 15 minutes before he was supposed to be home. What a blessing the Rhino was to scoop the snow. We were actually almost done before John got home....just had the end of the driveway blocked so he couldn't pull in right away. Wow, that Rhino sure makes snow shoveling a lot easier....thank you Pop for letting us keep it for the winter!!
I am excited because I have found some great applications on my iPad for the kids as study tools. There are these awesome flashcards, a States game that teaches great facts about all the states, and a great math facts game that even keeps records of how you are doing with each fact. I am so excited to get the kids started on a routine of using these tools a couple times a week. It is funny last week they were actually fighting over playing the states game.....yeah fun learning that they are eager about....Praise the Lord!!
We have cancelled guitar lessons at church tomorrow since the roads are still supposed to be pretty snowy. We are just going to enjoy time at home and study the books!
Tonight we just finished dinner and we are enjoying a movie together....what a great thing to do on a cold snowy night!
