Week 2

This week was a week of tweaking and disruption. Like week 1, we did not have school on Monday (Labor Day). We began our program of not having school on Wednesdays as Danielle has gymnastics and both kids have Wednesday nite church group (or "Church Dark" as Daniel has called it since he was a lot younger)

We have been consistent with starting our day with the Pledge of Allegiance and with Prayer.  We then move to Bible Study. The kids are doing really, really well with remembering what we are working on. This I think is due to two things: 1. the curriculum and 2. the fact that these two kids have been regular attendees of Sunday School and Wednesday nite Bible study. They both have a really good foundation.  The Grapevine Curriculum has the students listening to Bible reading, Bible discussion coupled with drawing (using stick figures) the lesson and then reviewing the lesson both at the end and then at the beginning of the next lesson. The kids had their first oral quiz on Friday. Both got 100%.

We finished our Coat of Many Colors project (take 2 grey t-shirts--i would have chosen a light tan if AC Moore had had that in kid sizes--that are a bit large for each child), have the kids paint them with paint (we chose colors that might be found in nature as the original designer of the coat would have used--well as close as we could get with clothing-fast paints anyway ;-) ) , then when dry, cut them up the middle front, put them on, wrap them around as you would with a robe and tie with either extra scrap fabric, twine, yarn or just leave without (as we did---the twine we were using became whips very quickly in the hands of these two very creative kids). :-)
