FIAR-The Story of Ping

We rowed this book at the end of fall and enjoyed it so much!
Monday we read the story, then we talked about China and he colored in a map.

We also made a flag of China.  I gave a piece of white cardstock.  Then I had him tear pieces of red tissue paper.  I watered down some glue and had him use a paint brush to apply the glue to the paper. 

 I gave him some gold foil stickers.  I had an extra star left over from VBS, so I spray painted it gold for him!

We also talked about the culture of China and I had him color this picture:

Thursday

We colored our Ping family for math.

The we did our buoyancy activity.

We also cut 2 ducks out of a brown paper bag.  I sprayed one with cooking oil and left the other one plain.  I had him put water in an eye dropper and see what happens.  Then we discussed that ducks can't get wet because they have oil on their feathers.

All in all a fairly good row!

Blessings!

Happy New Year!!

May each of you have a Happy New Year with abundant blessings!!

Weekly School Schedule and New Cleaning chart

I am trying to get more organized for the new year and decided to try an hourly schedule for Conner and I.  We will see how it goes.  I have been so overwhelmed lately, sometimes I don't know where to start, so I thought maybe this would give me some direction.  I also updated my cleaning schedule!

January-March Exercise Chart-Freebie

Well, After having my son a little over 5 years ago and 3 angels in Heaven, I still find myself almost 50 pounds overweight.  This has been my New Year's resolution for the past 2 years, and I have gotten no where with it.  Having been digging deeper into the Word, I have come to the conclusion that I am called to take care of my body.

“Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God?  You are not your own; you were bought at a price.  Therefore honor God with your bodies.”

~ 1 Corinthians 6: 19-20

I know that I have a hormonal imbalance, I know I have Degenerative Disc Disease, I know that I lack a support system of friends and family, but I also know that I have been using them as my clutch all along.  It is time to allow God to control this part of my life and be my support system.  

Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God – this is true worship.

~Romans 12:1

The only exercise equipment I own is a recumbent bike.  My goal is to use it 1 hour every evening for the 1st week.  Starting the second week I plan on doing that and also get up early and use it 30-60 minutes in the morning.  

Beloved, I pray that all may go well with you and that you may be in good health, as it goes well with your soul.

~3 John 1:2

 So, without further ado, here is my exercise chart for January-March.  I plan on logging my weight and measurements every Monday.

Sight word worksheets

It took some time, but I finally got the sight word worksheets done that go along with my sight word color by number!  The link to them is here:

https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B452FBfzAgv3S090Wm84ZzVIUzA

What the worksheet looks like.

First they will trace the word, then write it by themselves.

Then they will color the word.

Circle the word.

Stamp the word.  I got my stamps at the Dollar Store.

Cut and paste the word.

A completed worksheet.

So far they are a hit with Conner and he is learning a new word every 2 days.

My schedule for doing sight words is:

Day 1:
Make the word with play doh.
Color the word
use letter tiles to make the word

Day 2:
make word out of play doh
Sight word worksheet
copy work of some sentences with the new word and other words we have done.

On Friday, we review all words learned thus far.

Blessings!
