Today we took longer than I had hoped to do school, in fact, we are still working on it right now and it is after 4 in the afternoon. But we took a long break, so that is fine. I am happy working with my kids a little here and there throughout their day.
My children have been working on memory verses throughout the summer. We decided that since they learned the Lords Prayer and the 23rd Psalm we needed to learn the Beatitudes. So they are taking one verse a week and they recite it everyday. Then the next week we add the next verse so they do two verses. It will keep going until they learn the whole thing. We also talk about what those verses mean as we go along. I love it! They are doing a great job. We are on the third verse this week.
The Beatitudes
Blessed are the poor in spirit,
Because the kingdom of heaven is their.
Blessed are those who mourn,
Because they will be comforted.
Blessed are the gentle,
Because they will inherit the earth.
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
Because they will be filled.
Blessed are the merciful,
Because they will be shown mercy.
Blessed are the pure in heart,
Because they will see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers,
Because they will be called sons of God.
Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness,
Because the kingdom of heaven is their.
Matthew 5:3-10
I was not trying to take pictures of the kids while they were working, we were too busy working! I don't know how many pictures I will take but will try to take them when we have something special going on, like a field trip or project. Please pray for our little school. God is showing me all sorts of things today and I am trying to be very still and know that He is God! I am getting more and more excited about this school year and where it will take us. Stay tuned for more home school details!!!
That is our progress report for today. Thanks for stopping by.
