Miss MOE at the WTM Forum asked people to blog about their Memory Work. Since we do a lot of Memory work (you may have seen that in our Weekly Reports), I said I’d participate. On Monday through Wednesday, we work on our Memory Work. Memory Work is done during Circle Time, first thing each…
FOR TODAY Monday March 21, 2011… Outside my window… spring is springing … the grass is greening … the birds are singing … the crocus are blossoming … I am thinking… Hooray for Spring! I am thankful for… our pastor having the opportunity to have a sabbatical! From the learning rooms… quiet today as I’m…
We had a pretty good week 10. Didn’t get as much science done as I had hoped, but did OK otherwise. Friday was *beautiful* so we took a walk with our Nature Journals then played outside all morning. Hooray for homeschool! Memory Work: Bible: Started Psalm 130 for during Lent. Catechism/Creed: Continued working on the…

FOR TODAY March 7, 2011… Outside my window… the sky is grey and it is kinda cold. Vestiges of snow cling to plants. I am thinking… about God’s providence in all things. I am thankful for… that providence. From the learning rooms… We’ll be starting to learn about Sumer this week, try to catch up…
