School Update

After a lot of prayer we have decided to homeschool Madison. I had a conference with her teacher this morning and she was very understanding and supportive of our decision. We all want to do what is best for Madison. God has blessed Madison with a love and ease of learning. Because of this she is way ahead of her classmates and is bored at school. She will be finishing out this week at school and then I will begin homeschooling her next week. We are looking forward to seeing what God has in store for our family as we begin homeschooling Madison.

All I Am Project

Madison's class is reading the book All I Am this week at school.

Jocelyn and I have gone in every morning this week to help the students in Madison's class complete a special project related to the book. On Monday we traced their bodies on paper and made up a name for our paper people. On Tuesday we wrote sentences about what our paper people like. Today we began decorating and coloring our paper people. Here are some pictures of our fun this morning:

Map of the World!

Madison's teacher told her that they are going to be learning about maps next week.

So Madison decided to draw her own "Map of the World" this morning and take it in to show her teacher. I LOVE that she is SO EAGER to LEARN!

Madison's Map of the World!

At least she knows that the world is ROUND! ;)

From Head to Toe

Madison was SUPER excited this FUN Friday because Mommy was coming to school to volunteer again and she got a certificate of excellence for the best criss cross applesauce in her class! Way to go Madison!!!

This afternoon I went into Madison's class to help the students make their own animal masks.

Madison made this cute lion mask!

This week Madison's class has been reading From Head to Toe by Eric Carle. Earlier in the week I went in and made this cute class book for their class. The students LOVED wearing the masks and getting their pictures taken.

We ended our book with the picture of all the students with their finished masks saying "We can do it!"
