First of all, let me just apologize for the white background at the beginning. I did something weird and can't figure out how to undo it!
Anyway, it's back to school time for everyone! As much as we enjoyed some time off it is nice to get back into a routine. Our Bible verses for January are Matthew 6:25-34:
Anyway, it's back to school time for everyone! As much as we enjoyed some time off it is nice to get back into a routine. Our Bible verses for January are Matthew 6:25-34:
25 “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes?
26 Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?
27 Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life[a]?
28 “And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin.
29 Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these.
30 If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith?
31 So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’
32 For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them.
33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.
34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
Our Poem is "Stopping by the Woods on a Snowy Evening" by Robert Frost:
Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.
My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.
He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sound’s the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.
The woods are lovely, dark and deep.
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.
I am really going to try and post more this semester. I should be able too because our science topics this semester are physics and chemistry so there will be a lot more experiments to do and in history we are starting pioneers and westward expansion and we will have more activities for that as well.
Before I get in to today's pictures, here are some pictures of the boy's playing in the snow this weekend.
Adelaide was sensible enough to watch from inside instead of going out in the cold.
Austin made snow angels but didn't move at all, just laid on the ground.
When they came inside (Gavin stayed out for hours) they had hot chocolate. Austin is pretty sure that is better than being outside.
Today our experiment was dropping objects off the porch to see which would hit the ground first. Gavin recorded his observations in his science journal. I didn't get any pictures of the actual experiment because I was dropping things off the porch!
Austin wasn't super interested in our experiment.
This is the science book we are using.
