My Fruitful Life: Week 23 & 24: My Father's World K

Life has been pretty busy lately, isn't it always? I've been meaning to write this post for a few weeks. I'm actually going to post pictures from the past two units. We've been busy wrapping up the rest of My Father's World. Although Blue Rock is getting pretty bored with it at this point. For the most part I'm just having him go through he worksheets once or twice a week, do some Explode the Code, and practice his reading. Most of My Father's World Kindergarten he was already familiar with before we started last Fall. However, I love the way the Bible is woven throughout the curriculum and I thought it would be a good review and gentle way to ease into homeschooling. Overall we've had fun and there are still some fun experiments he's enjoying. I'm torn about what to do for next year. More on that later.

We got our caterpillars and let them go yesterday. I'll do a post on that soon. Here's a short overview of some things we did and talked about these past few weeks.

Unit 19: Rock - I listen and obey; I build my life on the Rock

Memory Verse: Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. James 1:22 NIV

Unit 20: Jewel -

Hubby and Blue Rock built a sandbox, we are watching caterpillars turn into butterflies, we've done some lava experiments, and I've enjoyed seeing creative things Blue Rock has come up with. We've also attended a few birthday parties, met with friends at the park, had friends over to play, gone to friend's houses and continue to stay pretty busy.

As part of the rock theme, we did a volcano kit I had bought last Fall. He loved the red lava. Princess thought it was neat too. We read Matthew 7:24-27 and talked about the wise man building his house upon a rock and the foolish one building his house upon the sand and why the wise man's house stayed and didn't crumble to the ground. We read the book Stone Soup by Marcia Brown. He really liked it. I'm so glad he's starting to get more interested in books that don't have as many pictures. He built towers with blocks and towers with rocks.

Some things with jewels involved me really showing him my wedding ring and the diamonds on it and explaining to him that many men in the United States give a diamond to the woman they want to marry and how one day he'll pick out a ring for his wife. He asked who he was going to marry and asked if it was his sister to his cousin to different friends.

Most of these pictures are from fun time with friends. He's getting kind of funny about having his picture taken when doing his school work. Sometimes I just leave my phone/camera in our charge station area so we can focus on school work.
