School Moments

Math time!
Practicing spelling words while keeping time with his yo-yo...
Cool science

Keeping this one busy with everything countries, capitals, and more...
The Great Wall of China meets the Egyptian pyramids 
and the Parthenon.  After that his plastic army men
had a wonderful time battling each other 
and destroying everything.
I love it when my boy plays...
Making counties and continents with playdough...
His idea... not mine.  :)

Science... Discovering radio waves
What he does while we do school....
look up flags of the world.
A peek into our morning...
Learning about graphs is always more fun with hot chocolate...
Still one of my favorite sights to see... catching them reading.
When practicing your spelling words gets a little crazy...
Pumped.... that the catapult he designed worked!
After that, the catapult quickly became Mr. Robot...
a boy's best friend.
Writing time...
not his favorite subject, but always fun to see 
what is in his mind.
Yeah... there may be hard days.... and days when I feel like I'm not doing enough.
Days that we struggle through and days that bring tears.
Days when no one really wants to do school... yet we keep going.

But looking at these moments reminds me of the joys that 
come from doing school at home... and some of the sweet blessings
that are ours to have.  I'm reminded of how much I love having
these little chicks of mine under my wings each day for awhile yet... 
living together, learning together, and doing life with each other.  
It's not always easy, 
but I will never regret this time and these moments with them.
