Character Workshop

I just attended two nights of the best Character Workshop ever! If anyone ever has the opportunity to sit in on one of Linda Kaetterhenry's Character Workshops, do it!! You will not regret it!! What an amazing gift she has. If ever you feel like you need a reminder of why we home school, attend her workshop. She reminds us that if our children can master good character traits, good biblical character traits, everything else will fall into place.
Children that know the character trait of responsibility will want to finish their school work. Why, because they know what it means to be responsible. Children that have mastered the character trait of attentiveness, will be good listeners, because they have been taught the importance of being attentive. I could go on and on about the things she talked about.
Linda, has such a love for the Lord that it pours out of her and showers anyone in her presence. What an amazing gift God has given her!
Thank you Linda for sharing your knowledge and love of the Lord with us! Many Blessings!

Second Week of School

We are wrapping up our second week of school and the girls have done a fantastic job! We completed our first Geography lesson, which we had actually started in late May, but put on hold for our busy Drama schedule. We will be using the Holling C. Holling series through Beautiful Feet Books for our Geography this year. We just completed Paddle-to-the-Sea, where we read the book and traced Paddle-to-the-Sea's journey from Nipigon, Canada to the Atlantic Ocean. Along the way, we learned about Canadian geese, the differences between ponds and rivers, the inner workings of a sawmill, the Great Lakes, Davy Jones Locker, iron-ore freighters, Jacques Cartier, Samuel Champlain and the states along Paddle's journey to the Atlantic Ocean, just to name a few!
Next week we will begin working on Tree in the Trail by the same author.

The girls will be presenting what they have learned to their Dad this evening and we will be choosing a classic for our read aloud. More then likely, we will be choosing a classic that ties in with our Geography and History of the United States.

It's amazing! When you actually take the time to journal/blog about your school days, you realize just how much you are accomplishing!
