Spelling & History

Aiyoh, Sarah had 3/10 for spelling today.  She had to spell words with long 'u's as part of her phonics programme.  I gave her some time to look through the spelling words, and she was 'done' in 10 seconds (yeah, right!).  So in the end, many of her words looked like 'cuet' for cute, 'rued' for rude and the like.  This was despite giving her time to look through and check her words.  But after I collected the book, and then showed her the words as I marked them, she suddenly realised that they looked all wrong.  Well, hope she learns from her mistakes.  She should have taken more care to study the words before the spelling exercise.

Yesterday, I joined 4 pieces of vanguard paper together to make a timeline for Mystery of History.  Will take a photo of it another day, once we put some figures onto it.  We're running a little slow for history.

She's having to do Chinese copywork in her K2 Chinese workbook.  Good, I suppose.

Whilst singing the hymn "Praise to the Lord the Almighty" today, Sarah suddenly was overcome by her guilt/sin, and was crying quite hard.  Thank God for a sensitive heart.  We prayed together.  I do pray that the Lord will soon give her a brand new heart to call upon Him and receive Him as her saviour.

Nowadays my worry is Ben, who has little interest in sitting down to do any work at all, and has little spiritual sensitivity.  He needs more prayer.
