October 22, AO year 1, week 6

We listened to a bit of Brahms through breakfast. Then we did our morning prayer together this morning.

Then on to cursive. We wrote a bunch of words using the letters we already know.
and, sand, hand, add, had, Samantha, tax, "." and "?"
She is doing a great job!
I like that I am telling her the letters to write, or I sometimes write them in upper case print and she is able to figure out what letter it is.  (Rather than something where she sees the cursive and copies below. I feel like this method is showing me that she can not only form the actual letter, she knows what letter it is).

We read the readings for Sunday. We did session 4 of our catechism book. We learned about the trinity (and had some interesting discussions: "if Jesus is God, then someone HAS seen God. His disciples" etc.)  Fina enjoyed it today.

Fina finished up 16E and 16F of her math. She is doing well. We are going a bit slowly yet, but it is fine!

In the afternoon, we made it out to a pumpkin patch (that a farmer isn't going to harvest) and picked out a bunch of free pumpkins. The evening was spent scooping some of them out and roasting them. It was so much fun!

A prairie pumpkin patch!

We realized, late in the evening, that we did NO POETRY at all today. I think that is a first for us. (Though, she did proceed to recite some of her poems to dad over dinner!)
