Our School Room

Here are a few pictures of where we mostly do school!

This year in homeschool along with our other studies we have enjoyed doing a curriculum called Character First.  Each month we take one of the 49 character qualities and study it for the month.  Most mornings we just quickly go over the definition and the 5 "I wills" but on Mondays we do a little more.  Since we study each character for a month on the first and third Monday of the month we watch the animal nature story that goes along with that months character, free online, and the the second and fourth Monday we read the one page history story that goes along with that character.  Then after on all 4 Mondays we do a simple craft or coloring sheet to go along with the character, free online.  All the kids have fun with this and look forward to what new character we will study next month!  So far the company has 15 Character qualities up online and they add a new one each month.  The only things I pay for are that months character quality poster to hang on the white board that shows the definition and the 5 "I wills", and the girls also like getting the small pocket size cards.  You can see the "Patience" poster in the top picture.

I will also either write that months character trait definition on the window with window crayons, or write  the definition on paper and stick it on the window.
