We had fun in school today! We are studying the "Pledge of Allegiance" and the American Flag. We were supposed to make a red, white and blue snack for this week so I was happy when I found the "liberty" Goldfish. I gave each of my big girls a little pile of the Goldfish, a piece of paper and a bottle of glue then I pulled up a big picture of the Flag on my laptop for them to look at. I didn't tell them how to do it I just let them be creative. I absolutely LOVE that each of them have their own little perspective on how the Flag looks ~ too cute! They are memorizing the pledge and Abby (who is 4) got most of it but at the very end said, "with LITTLE~bee and JUM~stice for all" as proud of herself as could be! : ) We did a fun science experiment to see if an egg would float or sink in salt water (it floats in case you're wondering) and my girls enjoyed being little scientists! In Bible we are learning about our names, what they mean and how they are special. We made cookies and wrote each of our names on one with frosting as a project ~ fun and yummy! My awesome little napper baby slept for 3 hours this morning while we did school then she woke up happy and ready to eat lunch! (I guess there is a little bonus to being up WAY too late at Caregroup on Wednesday nights : ) !) I'm so grateful to God that Ava is such a happy & content baby! So far Amy, Ashley & Abby are loving school. They are sweet little students and so easy to teach! I'm hoping this "everything is fun" momentum carries through the rest of the year. We'll see around about March how we're doin'...... : )
