We started a new book this afternoon during our read together time. The Shack
by Wm. Paul Young is a wonderful book that I wanted us to share together. I debated with myself a little about whether it was to advanced and intense and decided that reading it together we could talk through any questions or issues that came up. We only read the foreword today and they are already intrigued. I think we're going to enjoy reading this book together a lot. We also read 2 Kings 3, 2 Kings 4:38-44 and 2 Kings 6:1-7.Both kids did their chores and helped with the younger kids as well as took care of their pets.
Austin
Austin updated his blog, read a chapter of Pinocchio, and worked on his time line project. This afternoon we read part of the article Admiral of the Ends of the Earth by Mellville Bell Grosvenor from the July 1957 edition of The National Geographic Magazine.
In his free time Austin has been enjoying watching episodes of MacGyver
on his laptop. He has finished Season 1 and started on Season 2.Amanda
Amanda began reading a new book today. I could tell when I gave it to her that she didn't think she was going to enjoy it. But I had to smile when she told me she forgot to stop at the end of chapter one and accidentally read two chapters of Apostle to Inland China, The Story of J. Hudson Taylor
by James S. and Velma B. Kiefer. I don't mind if they read more than their assignment but I usually tell them to finish their other work first and then go back to it if they want too.Amanda also did her typing lesson and worked on her room for awhile.
This afternoon we played several games of UNO
. I was surprised that she chose this because she normally is not much of game player. But we had fun.
Later this evening Amanda spent quite a bit of time looking up various breeds of dogs online. She wants a dog very much but we can't have one right now.
I think we had a very good day.
