AlphaTales: Bubble Bear

We read B is for Bubble Bear out of our AlphaTales book. Then I tried to have them turn the letter B into a bear. Then they couple punch out "bubble" circles.

Robert really likes gluing.

Joy School: Unit 10 Family Tree

This was a fun lesson to do. I found pictures of Hailey, Nathan and I, my parents, Nathan's parents, and our grandparents. The only pictures I couldn't find was of Nathan's dad's dad (who died in 1990 I think) and grandma Connie.
I was proud that I could find the pictures and make this nice tree of Hailey's ancestors.

We also read books about grandmas and grandpas.

This is our last lesson in Joy School Year 1. I really like Joy School and am excited to start it again in the fall.

Joy School Unit 10: Belonging

We talked about our ancestors in this lesson with a family tree chart.
Then we talked about babies and how moms make a choice and wanted the child to join their family. So Hailey took a picture of Hannah, our newest member who we wanted to join our family. Hannah was our special guest (which was apart of the lesson this time).

Then we listened to a lullaby. She here is Hailey cuddling her baby, Lambie.

The craft today was making a mobile as a gift for the baby.

Here's Hannah playing with them.

Even Robert liked playing with it.

Then Hailey and I made a family flag. It was difficult knowing what to put on it. In the middle we have a star with three suns in the middle (for three kids) and five hearts around the star that says, service, love, mommy, daddy, Hailey. On the right is our family slogan: I'm thankful for every new day! And on the right is our family motto: Choose the Right and Kindness starts with me. Our family scripture is Philippians 1:3-11 (it was a scripture that my visiting teacher shared with me that I liked a lot).

Philippians 1:3-11

3 I thank my God upon every remembrance of you,
4 Always in every prayer of mine for you all making request with joy,
5 For your fellowship in the gospel from the first day until now;
6 Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:
7 Even as it is meet for me to think this of you all, because I have you in my heart; inasmuch as both in my bonds, and in the defence and confirmation of the gospel, ye all are partakers of my grace.
8 For God is my record, how greatly I long after you all in the bowels of Jesus Christ.
9 And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and in all judgment;
10 That ye may approve things that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and without offence till the day of Christ;
11 Being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God.
