Library Books of the Month

With the holidays behind us it's time to get back on track. So today we stopped by the Library after soccer to pick up some new books and videos. What are you reading this month?

Great Start With Math Interactive Notebooks

Don't you just love it when your Monday starts out great. Well today was that kind of day for us. The boys got up on time and we jumped right into our studies. First up bible study which went very well. Then it was time for us to tackle math. Last week I gave the boys a math review test to see what they had learned and retained. Testing them helps me plan my lessons for the rest of the year.

After reviewing everything it was time for me to put the information to use. We are utilizing interactive notebooks they help to take big ideas and processes and break down them into logical, sequential, and much more manageable parts. My oldest started Algebra this semester and having these notebooks really has been a blessing. It takes a lot of time putting them together but the support they have been to my children has been priceless.

Since I have multiple children at lower grade levels, I made a notebook for me to reference as well.

Bible Study

I love the freedom that home education gives us. To be able to study God's word with the boys is such a blessing. I really enjoy watching them dig deep into their bibles. It allows them to see themselves the way that God sees them. This allows them to know God for themselves.

It's Freezing in The "D"

Talk about being cold in the "D" is an understatement. We are freezing our butts off with this below 0 weather and crazy negative double digit windchill. 

It's so cold in my house that we had to homeschool in my bedroom because our main floor is so drafty. If you are experiencing weather like this you are not alone.
