This morning went very well and I wasn't too emotional...Tim was! However, when I went to pick up Maddie today I at school, I did get a bit emotional in the van! I cannot believe she is a Kindergartener, but I PRAISE GOD that she is at Grandview, aka Christian school! I know Christian school is not perfect, but I KNOW the teachers there genuinely LOVE Madison and want to see her GROW academically and in her walk with her LORD! THAT's the best part for me- it eases sooooo many fears and worries for me!
Today, I worked on a bulletin board here at home...I am going to be preschooling Morgan at home. Right now it is every morning from 10:00-10:30, but once Bible Study(tues am), subbing and tutoring (thurs ams)start up in September we will scale back to 2-3 days a week! We are working on calendar activities (days of week, weather, months, season, etc...), a number and letter a week, minor math skills, opposites& matching activities, letter, #, color and shape recognition, reading books and the writing of her name! Also, we will do seasonal activities: Sept= apples & school, Oct= pumpkins, fire safety, Columbus and so on....
Maddie had a great day at school and she was exhausted when she came home. She was bummed she wasn't going to lunch with almost the rest of her class (there are only 8- 1/2 day -kids and the rest go all day--parental choice). She did come home with a headache..I think she made need glasses b/c at her physical her vision came out 20/40 in both eyes and so I am in the process of getting her in for a thorough exam...PLease pray that this will go quickly and smoothly!!!
We are all back into the school year routine--I LOVE routine! I have my first sub day this Friday at Ankeny in elementary! I can't believe I am back to work and I praise the Lord for these opportunities to help us pay for Christian education for our kids!
Well- time to get to bed! Have a great week!
