A productive day

Me and my blooging routine lately

I’m catching up on my blogs (29 Mar - 6 Apr) so my memory is foggy as to the “kind” of day we had and if there was anything special that happened today.) Add to that I am extremely busy doing this and that, so that’s why I’m so far behind. Add to that we have baseball practice twice a week now. (Wednesdays and Fridays)

Our devotion today was about a child who had God standing before him. God said he could have whatever he wanted. The child asked to be rich. Fifty years later they meet again and there is some discussion about riches. God said, “Remember when I gave you the commandment to act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God? And remember when I told you to follow justice and do for others what you would like for them to do for you?” Then he said, “That saved you $27,410 you would have paid for a therapist to try to overcome your guilt of treating people unfairly and of cheating them. That doesn‘t even count the money saved not buying sleeping pills and antacids.” (I, Cheryl, love how God answers our prayers.)

Today in the AWANA book JD completed challenge 6:5. First he had to find a pattern or example and print it out or draw it. He chose a bird house plan. This emphasized the need for a good pattern. Then he learned that he needs to use Jesus is his example. He memorized two bible verses to back this fact up.

The math lesson today was about angles. We learned killer terms like: complementary angles (2 angles who measure 90* together), supplementary angles (2 angles who measure 180*), adjacent angles, vertical angles, alternate interior angles, alternate exterior angles, and corresponding angles. (Really? When will I need to know this? Shopping, no…dog sitting…no) JD took the quiz and got 4 out of 5 correct.

Today in language arts I had JD finish answering those questions about Scotland and Ireland. He did well, and his hand writing was better than the other day. There are capitalized letters in the middle of words, misspelled words, and missing punctuation. This is the perfect opportunity to edit his paper.

Did not do science today

For social studies today we went to www.sheppardsoftware.com and played a map game on the countries in Europe. He’s getting pretty good at identifying all the countries.

JD started reading a short story out of The Collected Stories of Louis L'Amour, The Frontier Stories. I’m not sure which story he read or where he’s at in the book. I suspect he jumping around a bit.
