Since we're working on the KONOS unit study for obedience, we spent this morning talking about government and how important it is to pray for those who are in authority over us. The scripture verses that we read from The Message were very interesting. I'll post them later.
We also worked on handwriting. Edison chose a poem to copy and I'll work with him more closely on his handwriting one-on-one later. One of the problems I have with the handwriting is that the do it perfectly during their lessons, and then when it's time to actually write, just in "real life," they slip back into their sloppy handwriting patterns. We use Getty-Dubay, and someone mentioned on one of my e-mail lists that there is a software company that provides fonts for Getty-Dubay so that you can type out the verse or practice writing instead of handwriting it. I think I'll invest in this.
The kids are taking a few-minute break for me to blog and regroup. I can't believe how quickly the day has gone by! We'll go back to our study, where I think we'll break from KONOS for a bit and move on to the Flat Stanley project.
