A homeschooling day in the life

I decided to document our somewhat typical day...
I put our daily schedule on our door along with some quotations and scripture. We begin by saying the Pledge of Allegiance. Even Roxie says it. How cute is that?
Then, we work on a new hymn every week. This week, we are working on Glory to God on High. Then, we say an opening prayer. Next, we repeat the scripture of the week:
Then, I read some cool stuff while Roxie does my hair. Really, she does it nearly every day. We learned about The Birth of Venus painting by Botticelli and the Three-Fifths Compromise in the Constitution and its contribution to the Civil War. Then, we read a couple chapters of Isle of Fire, a very cool pirate book we have been reading. I still have a few hairs left, but just barely.
Christian decided to try reading the dictionary...?
Ashton does her math, copywork (which said, "A room without books is like a body without a soul." ~Cicero), and some Groundhog Day activities...
Christian needed a little moral support during math time...
Apparently, the book I was reading to Roxie needs a little something extra...
Ashton is forever eating fruit while reading. Two of her favorite things to do. If only she could play the piano while reading and eating, then she would be perfectly happy. This is when the kids get their science, social studies, more literature, art, etc. It is different every day. They also do some sort of grammar or phonics, reading and history daily.
Then, we have reading time with Mom. Christian and I are reading Pinnochio. Christian kept saying, "Oooh. This is getting good. Read more." We read TEN chapters yesterday (they are short chapters, but still)! BTW, Disney did Pinnochio no justice. And it pains me to say it.
Then, Ashton and I read. We are reading Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm. (Oh, in the picture we are finishing up Candy Shop War.) We have run into a problem with Roxie. You see, we didn't realize that the paci had been serving a very important purpose: Keeping her mouth busy. Now, she won't stop talking long enough to take a nap, so she often falls asleep later during the day while the other kids and I are reading and she just can't fight it any longer...
And, of course, the day ended with a lovely sunset, which Christian so kindly photographed for us...
The end.
