Well for the month of December, we tried to do some home school. I actually wanted to take the month off and work on a Christmas curriculum. We did really good and then Iowa got hit by a winter storm and the public school had days off and friends came by and I could not get the kids to concentrate. Oh well, I believe that we really got things done and the kids and I really enjoyed the things that we learned.
This is Luke and Melanie working on the Greek alphabet for Alpha and Omega. We also learned about the Christmas tree and St. Nicholas. I really stressed to the kids that if you look at every symbol of Christmas you will find Jesus. Example: the Christmas tree is in the shape of a triangle, look at three points of the tree, Father, Son and Holy Ghost. St. Nicholas represents the giving that we should do to each other. The greenery of Christmas is Eternal life we receive when we except Jesus and the white lights is for purity of Jesus.
We had fun and it really helped me to see Christmas in a different light. We have started back to school and then the kids got sick and more snow storms. I will be glad when spring comes our way. We have had a wonderful year. I have really enjoyed this year more than I have the past. We are one day away from a hundred days of school. I hope that all of you had a wonderful December and are getting back on track. Here is Melanie who just love Mario and Sonic. Luke is into Jeff Hardy and money. After a certain age they really do not ask for much, except money.
And here is the biggest kid I have. He is more a kids than our children. I love him so much, he is such a kidder. I hope to get some time to look at more websites to add to this one, but please keep using these awesome resources. It is awesome to be able to home school. There are so many resources on the web that you can use. I would not be able to Home school with out it. God bless all of you and I hope you have a wonderful week. From Tanya
