Anna still has a few more lessons in Algebra I to finish, so she is working on that daily.
She is also finishing up her Physical Science modules. I hope to have all this finished in a few weeks.
I am trying to work with Ben and Claire on their multiplication facts. Does anyone know a good website with games that work on this? I am trying to continue in our Bible Study Guide a few times a week. We are enjoying doing that together as a family.
Also, I am trying to implement a new thing with Ben and Claire where I give them a piece of paper that has lines at the bottom and is blank at the top and they go outside and sketch something from nature and then at the bottom they write a few sentences about what they sketched. They are enjoying this so far.
I am also trying to work with Anna , Ben and Claire on learning to read music. Does anyone have a website that teaches this in a fun way??
We are trying to organize around the house some??!?! This is definitely not my strength.
We are enjoying the time we are having getting to visit/walk/run/swim with friends so far this summer. I am thankful for all our wonderful friends!
The guys came to camp from Sunday night until Wed. at lunch and then the girls were there from Wed. at lunch until Sat. morning. They started the day with a light snack and then went out for a run. Then breakfast and outside for strength training with weights. They did a good bit of swimming and water workouts throughout the day as well. Night time was spent in sessions about cross country and devotions and fun team building exercises. I was there on Wed. night and Katie's testimony of the Lord's kindness and work of grace in her life was very good. I was glad the girls got to hear of the working of the Lord in an older teenager's life. I pray that her testimony inspired them to seek after God in a more serious way.
Here is a group picture of all the girls at camp.
A fun team building exercise.
This was a fun and scary team building exercise where one girl would stand on the picnic table and the others would catch her as she fell straight back. They did not drop a single one :)
The girls were put in teams and had to come up with a top ten list of why you should do cross country. Each team did a good job coming up with serious and funny reasons.
They also split into teams and came up with a commercial. They were hilarious as well!
One of the first things they did at running camp was a 'team building' exercise of pulling up seaweed out of the lake :) It was a competition. The girls worked together so well.
