Obedience x Willingness

Image
For this week then character quality was obedience = the willingness to follow the commands of God or His servants( the parents) Our tadpoles are growing and getting bigger each week. Now we have only 3 since we donated two for a couple of friends that came by our house on Tuesday and we had a nice homeschool meeting, however I took no pictures :( we also made a lactose free, gluten free mozzarella cheese, it was good, of course I forgot the pictures but here's the link with the recipe. After we spoke about health and made our recipe we enjoyed a beautiful day, without rain at the park, lots of kids went to the skate ramp, lots of fun together. http://www.dimensionvegana.com/el-mejor-queso-vegano/ This Wednesday we didn't follow on with our raw day, but ate some yummy quinoa vegetable soup since it was a rainy and cold day. Thursday, after we finished our homeschool lessons we went to the park under a cold rain and some wind, we were brave enough but it...

Kindness

Image
The character quality for the week of April 27- May 02 was kindness. We tried to practice the character quality for the week as we did our daily tasks.  We heard a really good story on BBN and there we learned 3 ways that we can show kindness: BEFORE YOU SPEAK ASK THIS: --IS IT TRUE? -- IS IT KIND? -- IS IT NECESSARY? I truly saw difference in my children when we remembered t use this rule. And since we are learning about birds for this quarter we studied about the " Blue-Footed Booby" Isn't it cute! It looks like a paint!  As we learn about birds and their amazing variety we see how little is our knowledge about it and how big is the creativity of our Creator God!  We draw some paper dolls and played all day.  We went to the park and for our surprise we didn't find the baby ducks anymore!!  I asked someone at the park what could have happened with all those baby ducks. There was more than 10 babies. Someone said they could have been eaten by Herods!? What is a ...

Honorableness x Disrespectfulness

Image
Last week's lesson was about King David and the character quality was about being honorable or worthy of respect.  We tried our best to practice honorableness and respect each other.  Daddy went to the big market and bought lots of fruits so we had lots of extra boxes to play with. Here's a little bit of what we've done. We build a castle out of boxes.  Since we are learning about king David we did shiny crowns  and thought about that day " Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him ."( James 1:12) We had our raw day at the park and enjoyed the beautiful spring weather.  We enjoyed playing in the skate ramp and tried to practice our character quality for the week.  As the kids played I watched from affar and in once instance Larissa fell down as she tried to slide from a bigger ramp. Logan was up there but when he saw his sister on the ground he le...

Obedience and Spring Time

The character quality for this week's lesson is Obedience. "Obedience to God's counsel brings peace to our lives"  and it seems like we repeat this character quality many times in our homeschool materials. Here's the memory verse for this week: We started a new year in our Family Bible Lessons and for this quarter we are learning about Birds. www.sonlighteducation.com Here is a little bit about this Year 2 Quarter 1 from Sonlight Ministry Family Bible Lesson: The kids with their friends got some tadpoles and we brought 7 home We will share more about it during the coming weeks and see how the tadpoles are growing :) so far 2 of it got legs; Spring Time is the happiest time of all!! There's flowers blooming in every corner, the green grass that covers the earth is like a carpet that spreads everywhere.  "While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest...
