We had a great first day at Sisney H.O.U.S.E. When I went in to wake the girls up, they both jumped up, all excited and ready to go. They enjoyed Maddy's favorite link sausage and biscuits for breakfast (both declined eggs or anything to go with it). We had our Bible study on Genesis 1. Both eagerly got dressed for school and we were ready for our 8 a.m. "Morning Meeting" a few minutes early.
Our Morning Meeting consisted of attendance, calendar (day, week, month, and school day count), our weather chart, the Pledges (American, Christian, & Bible), prayer, and then "A Manner A Day".
The rest of our day included art, math, handwriting, science, reading, Spanish, social studies, computer, music, journaling, and P.E.
When we started out for our first recess break, Kenna informed me, "We can't go to recess! You don't have a whistle!"
And we finished just 17 minutes over our projected "school's out" time of 3 p.m.. Not bad for a first day!
We homeschool because we believe "There are two lasting bequests we can hope to give our children. One is roots; the other, wings." (Hodding Carter, Jr.) In order to help our children establish roots and spread their wings, we believe in...strength in family relationships...an intimate relationship with God...being socially active...networking within the community to make our town a better place...excellence in academics and life skills...and that we are never too old to yearn for knowledge.
