I thought I'd touch on some of the highlights of our year:
- Reading The Wizard of Oz with the girls. I had seen the movie several times, but never read the book. We also read together The House on Pooh Corner, My Father's Dragon, and The Story of Dr. Dolittle among others. I love snuggling on the couch with the girls for our read alouds!
- Grace's perfect record in spelling - she made 100's on every spelling test this year.
- Memorizing Psalm 23 as a family.
- Watching Lydia read The Boxcar Children all on her own, the lightbulb finally turning on as she understood that she CAN read.
- Art Fridays - We used Art with a Purpose by Rod and Staff publishers. The lessons were simple and able to be done with common household items, and the girls looked forward eagerly to Fridays, not for the end of the week, but for their art lessons.
These are just a few that come to mind. I'll spare you the not-so-great moments for now, but the positives have far outweighed the negatives, and I continue to love taking this journey with my kiddos!
