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.

For you, Brit

just listen

You may not be what I will always need
But I call you home
If I can call you home
Then you're good enough for me

From our reading......this was great!

The scene: boys were about to throw rocks at Nathan Hale during recess when the schoolmaster caught them.

~ "Your recess is over," the master said. "In fact, your school is over. And you will not return unless one of your parents comes with you. Even then I'm not sure that I will take you. I won't have rock-throwers."

Wow!
