Groove

It has been a good couple of days here in Owlschool. I would venture to say we are hitting our GROOVE! PRAISE GOD! I mean that in true thankfulness. I am not being sarcastic when I say it has been GOD and his strength that have blessed us this week.

As we head into Friday the girls are doing great with their work. Smiley Sport was struggling a little with the math lesson today and we had to go back over it a couple of times. The one thing that is so fascinating to me is how differently each girl learns. Smiley tends to be a hands on learner and Lovely appears to be auditory. I myself am more of the hands on type. It amazes me when I just talk the lesson to Lovely and she gets it. I would need to write it down, hear it, touch it...you get the picture. Smiley eventually caught on and we finished our work.

I have to say at this point the only thing I am missing is the "fun" time. I still haven't fit in a craft or a science experiment. These things aren't necessary, but they are fun and I want the girls to enjoy this experience of being home. I am hoping tomorrow we can make slime. Lovely has been asking for months and I think we will have time tomorrow.

As for some other notes. The girls are doing fine with each other..for the most part. Lovely actually cooked grilled cheese sandwiches for herself and baby girl. Smiley wanted something different....she usually does. She is a lot like me..ha ha.

The girls are taking piano from a dear friend. I sat in on the lesson today. WOW. It was very interesting. My friend has a true gift! It is a joy to have my girls take lessons from someone who is so talented and willing to teach others.

Well that's all for now. I am so grateful I live in a country where I have the freedom to educate my children in my home.
