She Didn't Give Up



Patience and perseverance was finally rewarded. "Mom, I hand fed a Chickadee!" Watching her day after day was tough. Although I encouraged her, I never thought it would happen. Well, I learned a lesson too. I am thankful that God blessed K (10) with this special moment. Never give up!

Thought Provoking

Some of our recent read alouds----


Was Crispus Attucks a patriot, or was he in the wrong place at the wrong time?



I only regret that I have but one life to lose for my country. This is the quote from Nathan Hale that I know. I learned that it could have been, I only regret that I have but one life to give for my country. Which one is correct? Does that really matter?

I do want my kids to learn the correct version of historical events. I don't know if they can in this day and age. A lot has been revised. I hope some of them love history as much as I do. I hope that they at least have the desire to question, research, and think on their own.
