Pics from our homeschooling day

Here are some pics from our day:
These are the Character cards that we use, they have a question on the front and a Bible verse answer on the back. I went over these with the kids after prayer time. Then and Sophie and Christian colored and drew picutes while Isaiah and I took turns reading a chapter from the book of John.

Andrew was so nice and painted with Sophie! Sophie drew a picture of a large heart in one of her paintings and said it was God giving a kiss to all the people in the world! :) Christian decided to paint while I was reading to him.

Isaiah is working on Easy Grammar Plus and Charles is doing his online Spanish course. After that Isaiah worked on math and Charles left for his orthodontist app, then to his friend's house to do an Algebra 2 lesson.


After Sophie's bath, I braided her hair. Isn't she the cutest?
Sophie and I playing a Discovery Toy's Phonics game
The boys played a lot of music today.

Christian showing off his Lego creation.

Here I am finally getting my lunch at 2:30. I'm asking Isaiah questions about the history chapter he read. After that he typed a summary of the chapter.
Sophie played with math blocks while I worked with Isaiah.
Isaiah practicing drums-he did that a few times today!

Christian using the computer.
Reading The Whipping Boy by Sid Fleischman (good book!) to Christian as part of his Total Language Plus.


Christian is doing Comprehension questions from The Whipping Boy First we do the questions orally and I write down his answers, then he copies them into his Total Language Plus workbook. Sophie is using her wipe off letters book.
Andrew giving Isaiah a guitar lesson
Reading the Preschooler's Bible to Sophie. I talked to her today about maybe reading The Little House on the Prarie series to her (I already read Little house in the Big Woods to her and Christian). I read the entire series to Andrew and Charles when they were ages 5 and 3. I've been wondering if I should read the series to her now or wait till she's older. 


Charles doing Building Thinking Skills: Level 3 Figural by The Critical Thinking Co. I've used workbooks by this company on and off throughout the years. I've heard they help with testing.


Playing a Greek and Latin roots game with Isaiah called Rummy Roots.


Sophie and Christian playing Jenga


The boys being helpful and cleaning up after dinner. Then we watched Life on the Discovery channel.
