Tuesday, March 30

Daily Devotion: Read John 6:35-40 and talked about how Jesus is "the bread of life" and how God's word keeps us from being spiritually hungry.

Health: This is our last week of Health so the kids finished up their "I Can" books about ways they can keep their bodies healthy. We sang a song and played "Healthy Habits Simon Says."

Writing: Faith wrote the letter M in her journal for milk and drew a glass of milk and some cookies.

Geography: We left Japan and headed south to Australia where we learned a little history about the only country that is also a continent.

Math: Faith did a worksheet about calendars.

Spelling: Practiced writing words that are associated with the Easter holiday.

Reading: Started reading a chapter book from the Hooked on Phonics program called "Detective Dog and the Lost Rabbit."

We were all disappointed this morning when we received a phone call from the family we were going to babysit for. Apparently the dad's new job did not work out so they will not need us to watch their little girl until he finds a new one. :(

Seth had Head Start today. Faith, Anna and I played outside for half an hour after lunch. We had time to bake some chocolate chip cookies this afternoon and Faith used her Easy Bake oven.

We purchased some used calf hutches and got them all set up in the evening. The kids and I were very excited and happy with how they work. They will make our chores much faster and easier. After chores we drove over to our Amish friends house to wish their son a happy first birthday. (I was their doula at his birth) We ended up staying for supper and had a nice visit. When we returned home Faith asked if she could read a couple more chapters in the "Detective Dog" book. Even though it was late I said yes because I was so happy that she actually wanted to read.
