Roman numerals

The math lesson for The Glorious Flight was on Roman numerals.  Hannah had picked up a little bag of mini popsicle sticks, which worked in great with the lesson.  I was able to "write" each number with the sticks.
We also had CBS today.  Hannah's teacher took me aside today to let me know that when Hannah changes rooms for singing time, she doesn't sit like she's supposed to. Instead, she wants to play with the toys and talk with the teaching assistant for the class they join.  I took Hannah next door, told her what I expected of her and that if  heard any different from her teacher, then she would spend the rest of that day in her room.  Hopefully, that will be enough to correct the problem, but I may very well have to put her in her room before anything changes. 

Shop Keeper, Shop Keeper

Hannah was blessed with being able to have her Papi (Joel) read her A Pair of Red Clogs tonight.  We did our math lesson tonight, and played shop.  It was a lot of fun to buy things from Hannah using chocolates, jellybeans, and gummies.
We also had CBS today.  Hannah learned about Samuel being called by God in the middle of the night.  They had a cute little craft.  I'm kind of sad that we won't be there next Tuesday for class time.
I am very excited that we are heading to SC for my Bubba's wedding!  I'll try to remember to take some photos :D

Take Great Care

Mike takes such good care of Mary Anne in Mike Mulligan and His Steam Shovel that she doesn't grow old.  Hannah and I talked about stewardship.  I broke it down to taking care of things.  We also did some work on her writing her name.  She often gets all the letters but not in the correct order.  She had a major attitude when she woke up and it reared its ugly head during class, so she was sent to "rest" for an hour in her room to help take care of it. 
When she got out, we had lunch and since we had talked about stewardship, I figured now is as good a time as any to add some chores to her day.  She chose to take over dusting, and she was given the responsibility of making her bed, tidying her room, and putting away her clean clothes.  And for anyone out there that thinks this is too much for five year old, I must tell you that in all it took less than one hour of her day.  And no, she will not get paid for them, because then it changes from stewardship and into a job. 

Fun with pegs and rubberbands

We had a nice long day yesterday and the geometry/math lesson with The Rag Coat happened late in the day.  We looked at all the different shapes in the story, but the fun part came with I pulled out a peg board I have from jewelry making and we made shapes with the pegs and then using yarn and a rubber band.  We made rectangles and then cut them into triangles.
We also had CBS yesterday.  I was a helper in the 4 year old class, which shares story time, music time and closing time with Hannah's class.  It was really nice to see what they do with their time.  Yesterday the story was about Hannah and Samuel.  And their Bible verse continues to be "Do not be afraid...God has heard your prayers." Luke 1:13 

A long day

It's 2 and we haven't even come close to doing lessons yet today.  We went to Community Bible Study this morning and then enjoyed a bite to eat with our generous chauffeur.  I think Hannah enjoyed herself, she didn't come home in tears, so I guess that's pretty good.
We're studying Revelation and Hannah is doing year 3 in the preschool curriculum.  I love that they encourage picture reading.
Hannah and I got to see the Postal worker deliver our mail today.  He has this really neat key that he called an arrow key (I think) that opened that back of our mail boxes.  And there was a DVD from Netflix in our mail today.  Which means that we've been watching that sense we got home.  I guess we'll do the lesson some time later today. I think we'll do juggling today :D

Rally Day!!

What I thought was going to be the first day of Sunday School, turned out to be a huge eating fest with music :D Hannah was able to make it to the second service's children's church where she learned about Jericho.  They had play blocks that they walked around.  When I asked her if they fell down when they blew their horns she said "No, we had to kick them down."  Now that's worth the price of admission alone!
