Since we are doing a farm preschool theme these 2 weeks it seemed natural to spend time on my parents farm. First we visited their friend and neighbor and got to pet a chicken, tried not to get spit at by an alpaca, and practiced our rooster crows. Next we went to mom and dad's farm. Discovered 2 baby kittens which the Littles loved! Then loaded them in a wagon to get mail and take pics in a sunflower field. And finally, they each "drove" the tractor down the driveway. However their favorite part was either the tiny ice cream cones after a hot dog lunch or playing momma and papa on the floor of the living room! Mommas favorite part was that they napped in the car on the way home! Haha! It was a super fun day and we made it home in time to pick up the other 2 who are doing amazing in school!

The visit to our public school went amazing. Got to meet both teachers who were super nice. The kids hugged them first off so seemed comfortable w them! Got to see their rooms and the computer lab☺E even has a Peruvian girl in her class!! The teacher is putting them together at a table! Everyone at the school is super excited to have them there. So happy! Jj started 8th grade homeschool today and did well despite disruptions and siblings peeking at him thru the door. J took him out to eat for lunch to celebrate! So we are well on our way to a brand new schedule! Ha! The public school starts this coming Monday.

Our days are flying by! Right now we are locked in on schooling. After talking to a specialist at the district level, I had peace about trying the two oldest at the public school. Jesus provided the "best ELL teacher in the district" at our home school. Then when I registered the kids, He provided me with a lady I contact to tell about Jj's homeschool to get us processed. The miracle there is that they are supposed to be in grade level according to age but she let me drop them back one level which is what we had been praying to do. Woohoo, God!! So E will be in 3rd and Jh in 1st. We are actually meeting the ELL teacher this Tuesday so the kids will know her and get a little tour of the school. They start on the 14th and we are trying to get all the supplies together. In the meantime, Jj will start this Monday the 7th with homeschooling 8th grade. He is super excited to start dissecting for our high school level biology class☺I will also be trying to do some preschool work with the younger girls during the day and continuing to work on their English. Pls pray for good transitions and adjustments.
