Day 4

Today was day 4 of homeschooling here at Dandelion Hill Academy!

Happily, I can report we have had a wonderful week so far! Monday, Wednesday, and Today we got up around 7:30. Got dressed, and gathered around the breakfast table for a healthy breakfast. While eating, we read our Bible story and sang our hymn for this week (Make Me a Servant) and reviewed memory verses.

Then we began knocking off subjects one by one, alotting 10 or 15 minutes per subject until all were completed. This only took around an hour, and the M's are responding very well to this time in the mornings. Then we are done. The rest of the day has been spent playing with neighbors,
playing in the backyard, crafting, etc.

Tuesday has been my favorite day so far!! On Tuesday, we got up and had breakfast, and then we gathered up some food and headed to Thompson Park. After playing on the playground for about half an hour, we went to the zoo right when it opened. (A great time to go because all the animals are out and eating breakfast).





We spent about an hour at the zoo (we even saw the turtles doing a little hanky panky . . . that wasn't great).





Then we went over by the lake, laid out a picnic blanket and had our snack. Then I nursed M3 until he fell asleep and I laid him on the blanket. Then M1 and M2 sat on the blanket to do some watercolor in their nature journals. The each drew something from the zoo. When Michael woke up we headed home.









I hope many of our schooldays look something like Tuesday!!!

Lord, you are so good! Thank you for your provision and love! Please continue to direct this process. We love you, Father!

Amen
