Davis Journey Academy

The Littles and I have started working on their daily routines.  They are loving learning and all our activities.  A recent epiphany reminded Michael and I that academics will come, but we must absolutely focus on heart-training intensely.  Both Littles are still dealing with transition to their new home.  This has given us many opportunities for growth!  Our days are not always predictable and things happen.  That’s life.  We are doing devotional with the Littles every single day-no matter what!  Heart Training 101.  From there, we are working on age-appropriate responsibilities (including taking responsibility for actions!). We are tackling academics, too.  I’m using my Apple Group Connections training with Kaybrietta-goal is she will learn to read this year.  She’s so ready-One Leap Ahead Learning Center has taught her well!  She already knows sounds and runs around trying to read anything and everything she sees (which can be hilarious now that Bahasa Indonesian is in the mix!) Lissie Joy is working on counting, grouping, colors, and such.  She insists on participating in school work!  We are also seeking to learn some Bahasa-every time the girls see a cat, I hear ‘kucing’!!!  (pronounced koo-ching) They learned that word quickly.  I’m so proud of them and their eagerness.  Now for momma to keep up with their excitement!

Our first verse that our heart training will spring from!

We were counting and sorting together! Kaybrietta is a big helper!

Short Vowel Book-Short U!!!

Being a fish during our devotional time! (We were talking about Creation)

Kaybrietta was finding all the vowels! Did you know an English word MUST have a vowel to be a word?! Kaybrietta knows that now!

She was pretty excited about writing on the glass all by herself!

Stringing her bead pattern!

Working on ABC puzzle

LIssie Joy covered up a picture she wasn’t supposed to color (following directions)

Lissie Joy rearranges the world semi-regularly

Cutting practice…again, I will probably regret this!

I totally lost at Kaybrietta’s version of checkers!

The devo book the girls are loving! I love that it lets the gals interact with the Word!
