Home Sweet Simple Home
First Day of our New Unit
Today was the first day of our Christmas Unit Study.It has been quite enjoyable. The girls think it's so much fun to be digging out the Christmas books for our Readers and Read Alouds.
We started the morning as always, with our devotions.
Then the usual suspects: Math and spelling.
Then things changed.
We wrote our quote for the day (John 1:4) on special Christmas notebooking paper. [Handwriting]
Our vocab words for the day: Christ, Lord, Find, Wait. Sassafras wrote each word and then dictated a sentence using each word to me, which I wrote down for her. Maiden wrote the word and definition then used it in a sentence.
I asked them some questions about Jesus and Christmas which we wrote down in our Christmas journals.
We talked about how we celebrate Christmas and then began to write down all the different ways. It was a wonderful special time with lots of reminiscing. I liked it quite a bit! (and so did they!)
We watched A Charlie Brown Christmas at lunch time and plan on reading St. Nicholas, The Real Story of the Christmas Legend this evening.
Our activity/craft for the day will be sanding the window props they are making for Nana.
Sassafras's reader today: Christmas Mice.
Maiden's reader today: A Cup of Christmas Tea

My Husband (DH)-Mr. Steady
My rock and biggest supporter. The glue that keeps the family sane. He is like deep, deep water- it takes a lot to see a ripple.
DD11- Our Maiden in Waiting- By the world's standard she's a 'tween'. By ours and the Lord's- this is the time of her years of preparation. She is eagerly learning what it means to keep a home and daily becomes more and more of a helper to her Mama.
DD8- Sassafras My Sassy middle child. She holds her own so sweetly and has such an empathetic heart. While real Sassafras is used for flavoring- She is that added spice of flavor to our family.
DS4- Mr. Conductor- The train aficionado in the family. He likes to think he's in charge and often is! He's also the biggest Oreo fiend in the family.
