D is for Distractions

D is for DISTRACTIONS.  Our D week was quite lax as we had my dad visiting from out of state.  What a blessing homeschool is when we can make education a second priority to much cherished time with Papa. 

Still, we got the basics in and it was a good week overall.  We are still on schedule with letters and numbers.  We covered David and Goliath in more detail than we have in the past and included the movie from the series of "The Greatest Heroes and Legends of the Bible" hosted by Charlton Heston.  We will finish up the week with Daniel and the Lions Den and also have a movie from that series to follow.  Asher has seen these all a hundred times but I love to watch the focus and interest he has after we have read about it and talked about it.

Our memory verse is Pillipians 4:13 I can do all things through Him who gives me strength.  This verse was chosen to be driven home by a couple of God's great heroes that Asher loves, David and Daniel. 

We review a lot and I have been impressed to see how much he has retained and can recall all we have learned in four weeks.  This is truly an absolute joy to take part in this experience with him.  I am beginning to LOVE homeschool well beyond what I saw as a duty.
