Pond Observation

For their science, Fionn and Ellie had to observe pond life. They were super excited that Dad took them to the pond and I was super excited he took pictures!
















This paper landed in the pond. ;)

Scripture Memory Work

Something new I have added for the youngest two this year is working on Psalm Scripture Memory Cards. I found these on a site I love, Catholic Icing. I subscribe to her emails and got the download for free there. Here is a link to her site and this particular post here.

I absolutely love that they are recognizing these Scripture verses from hearing them at church. I also love that she linked YouTube videos for them. The girls are enjoying reading it together then watching the video of the Scripture in a song they know from church or the radio.

The girls are still doing their normal religion book and Bible study, but these are a fun little addition they are really enjoying. We do a new one each Monday, read it throughout the week, and if they have it memorized on Friday, they get a sticker. I wasn't sure if Fionn, age 5, would be able to do it, but she has! WELL, in Fionn style.... see the video below.... #lifewithFionn

What Fionn is reciting:

Wait for it, SMH... So Fionn. ;)





Zoe attempted to "try again" with Fionn to see if she would do it for her without the "Fionn" ending. Consider this an outtake.
