January 8th came rolling around way to fast! As
soon as our break started, it was over again. Hannah and Matthew both got going
back in school. I have started homeschooling a little bit as well. I work with
Thomas in the mornings while Hannah is at school (she legally has to attend),
and then when she gets home I read stories for about an hour for quiet time,
and then do some schooling with Hannah. Of course there is still plenty of time
to play outside and explore this great world we have been given.
Kids playing with left over pizza dough (above)
Kids making letters and shapes out of edible peanut butter play dough
We made funnel cakes in the shapes of the letters he has learned so far. We were going to get/make donuts for letter D today... but our resources were very limited (being on the small island we are on...) So we improvised!
All 3 of them are in that play tent... eating snacks of course.
A few days we have had friends come over, and I offered to
start tutoring once a week for a boy in Hannah’s class. Though he has surprised me by how much he knows!
It has been a hard adjustment getting back into the swing of
the semester. Especially with 3rd semester being so much harder and
time consuming. Matthew is studying more now, then ever before. I am grateful
to have the kids to keep me busy, and with a purpose, though at times it can be
trying.
