Well we finished talking about the USA. jaden learned a few things about it, I didn't go all in deep with her since she is only 5!
She knows....
How many stars and why
The flower
The bird
The tree
And the nickname of the flag.
We are still working on say the pledge, we say it at the beginning of class after we say our prayer for the start of the day.
We are going to continue working on the national anthem. That is going to take awhile, but I am ready for her to learn it so she can sing it for her DD and friends.
She learned her bible verse Ps 117:2
Now hopefully she can say it for others without getting so emotional, like she has been. She really only gets really emotional when daddy is around. I haven't figured out why because he doesn't get mad at her if she messes up because we know messing up is part of life.
She worked on e letter F, she didn't fairly well, but she slacks off when I have her write them, she does good the first couple ones but then it is sloppy and out of the lines. Then she starts writing other things instead. I have tried to split it up but that doesn't work either. So I have to figure out a way for her to learn to write her letters and have fun doing it so that she won't slack off.
We made a little booklet of the things she learned about the USA! She colored the flag, bird, flower, tree, and a picture of kids saying the pledge. Then we glued/ taped them on construction paper and made a book!
It is starting to get harder trying to come up with things for her to learn since I don't have a curriculum. I am just throwing things out there but I know she should be doing other things. Then I even think will any of the stuff I do with her be accepted.
Sometimes I wish I could just send her to school, that way I know she will be getting the things that are accepted to ,ove on the the next grade when it is time.
It may even help her to be around other kids seeing what they are doing.

Blessed
Jesus has blessed me so much. The last few months have got me thinking about how much I have been blessed in the past 5yrs. I have come up with a huge list but I think I am going to share the ones that are close and dear to my heart.
First off I have been blessed with a husband that has taken the responsibility of taking care of our daughter that is not his biologicly his..i know i spelled that wrong. I knew I loved Joel the moment I held his hand. He is an amazing man of God. He struggles in some areas but HEY dont we all.?
Another thing is I have been blessed with 3 children even though one of them can not be here with me. I know she is doing great, being with the one MAN any girl can trust, OUR HEAVENLY FATHER! She is well taken care of. We miss you Frankie Stair!
I have also been blessed with an amzing extended family. We may not all get along all the time but I know if I truley needed anyone of them that they would be there for me in a minute.
I also have amazing friends. I am glad to have the one I do. No matter what I do, they are always there for me and I love being the one they call when they need someone to talk to. It makes me feel wanted and I love knowing they can trust me with the things on the heart that they may not be able to share with others. I also know that I can do the same with them.
Man, I think about it God amazing. He has blessed me abundently with so many things, and some things I didnt even realize as blessings. I thank Him daily for the blessing I have and to the ones that will be coming in the future.
I sing Joyfully to Him.
I sing His glory!
I offer Him my praise.
There is no other to give me praise too!
My life is complete with God as my #1!

Stressful
Wow, I have had the most stressful week ever, I was 8 days late before PMS hit me..lol! Never been late unless I was pregnant so I freaked about that. But God has a plan is all I kept telling myself.
School started off well but I am jusy having a hard time coming up with things to do with her and finding the time to even teach her.

First Lesson...prepared and ready!
Jadens first lesson plan is done and ready thanks to help from DD! We will be working on Flags( American, and Georgia).
Now the only thing I need to do is finish getting all my supplies for her to do all the activities I have planed to help her learn more and it will also be fun, because Jaden cant sit still for 5mins..lol!
I even have a list of things Jaden should know by the time the school year is over. I cant believe if she went to public school she would be in Kindergarten! My baby girl is growing up so fast, time has flashed before my eyes. Not only do I have 1 blessing I have 3, but one is my baby angel, who will always be missed.
The Lord is good!

Preparing
Wow, I am busy and have been for the last couple weeks. My list is a mile and half long..lol!
Jaden will be starting Ballet on Thursday and she is so excited, so I had to make sure I got all the things I needed to get her started since this is the first time she gets to be in Ballet, she is sooo ready. Finally got all the things for her.
I have to get things for school and I have slowly getting things together for that, we should be starting next week if I can get everything I need and get it all organized.
Then I am trying to get things together for the little birthday party the Knight are going to throw for baby Lorraine. Still trying to come up with the date for it, since they have plans too.
I still have to get the house organized, to do schooling and other activities.
Joel and I are going through our middle bedroom because we have been selling things on ebay for extra money.
Even though I am busy planning and cleaning and doing so many things, I would not change it at all. I love my life as a wife, mother, teacher, and daughter of God.
God has blessed me in so many ways I can not explain. It brings tears to my eyes knowing that He loves me so much that He overflows my cup everyday and He is always there!
