1 Peter 3:4
Lord help us today to put on the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit. Search our hearts and help us first deal with those issues, and when we do let us fill our hearts with good things from you. What comes out of our mouths stems from our heart condition. Let us give you our hearts so they can b cleaned and then let us dress ourselves in the Fruits of the Spirit. Let our mouths give life today. Thank you Lord.
So many days we just plow through the day without realizing what blessings we have been given or the impact we have on others. I desire to slow down and enjoy today's blessings. To be fully present and soak up all that today has to offer. To love my family with all my heart and to let them know it.
This week we are finishing up our study on the fungi kingdom. We have viewed fungi
slides, watched several movies-Division of kingdom Fungi, Reproduction of Fungi, Bread Mold. We played with a computer game of drag and drop Bread mold. We did several labs; mushroom dissection, comparative fungi, and several experiments from our book. We placed a tomato slice and slice of bread in a covered container to watch mold grow on them. How interesting. We also viewed a video of McDonald's decomposition. After 10 weeks the fries still had not started decomposing. Scary. What we eat and how it's really prepared.
In anatomy Sarah is starting a study of the brain. She watched Brain pop movies and took quizzes on: Brain, Neurons, Headaches, and the Spinal cord, ADHD, Alzheimer's,
Sleep, Autism, and Dyslexia. We made a hemisphere hat. We completed a dissection of a sheep brain and then viewed it under the microscope.
We completed our study on Explorers with Henry Hudson and de Champlain. Now we can move on to something else. Yea.
Sarah continues to do well in Spanish. She enjoys it. I really like that we choose Rosetta Stone.
Spelling and Vocabulary continue to be very important. She is mastering them quite well.
We are looking at some different resources to help with Grammar and Writing. We have been using some videos and computer games to help. We have also started using Daily Grammar. It is very helpful. We continue to search for the things that fit Sarah's unique learning style. She is an easy student, but like so many she has her own set of challenges and our goal is to meet her individual needs to cookie cutter school.
Brain dissection.
What a great end to the 1st nine weeks. How blessed we are as a family.
Sarah completed a study on MRSA. She is a very motivated learner when she is interested in things. It was truly a great nine weeks.
