Hail Storm

Last week, we had a serious hail storm hit in our area. I had never seen anything like it before! Earlier in the school year we had a lesson about the ten plagues of Egypt, so it was very interesting for all of us to see and imagine how it would be for the Egyptians along with the hail mixed with fire.

My husband was at church at the time of the storm and our van has some dents and dings, but thankfully none of our windows broke.

Here are some pics. My sons and I gathered some of the hail to put here on the blog. I was amazed at the different shapes of hail and I have included a pic of my favorite one.

    

 

 

    

 

 

Right Now

Well, I have decided to basically end our school year in the chapter we are in with the Weaver and continue for a month or two concentrating on finishing up lapbooks that never got finished. I think it will be a nice review of our school year. And I would like for dd to finish up her math book along with ds. I told them the end of the year schedule and they were happy. It's as follows:

• 
  
  Bible lesson review
  
  


• 
  
  Handwriting Without Tears- purchased at the homeschool convention last month. I didn't want to wait for the next year.
  
  


• 
  
  Math
  
  


• 
  
  Wisdom Words - it's a language arts program by the Weaver author. I want them with a fresh start next school year in this program.
  
  


• 
  
  Spelling- I bought new books with a different format than we had used previously. The kids like it a wwwwhhhhhhooooolllllleeeee lot better than what we had been using.
