They are FINALLY swimming

Thank God, my kids are FINALLY swimming!

Summer is so much more fun when everyone in the pool is swimming and diving! You won't hear much from us because we are parking at the pool! :O)

What is your family doing this summer?

Fully Supplied!

I LOVE supplies!  I was the supply queen at my work!  I had a post-it note stick that would make any paper stick temporarily.  I loved the little tabs that go on folders.  I had 2-hole punches, 3 whole-punches - a travel stapler...you name it.  I love the smell of new folders, markers and crisp new paper!  

Yes, I am a Supply Nerd!  How about you?  What's your favorite supply?  

I went to my hometown last weekend and notebooks were on-sale for $.05 (yes, 5 cents!). Amazing!  I bought 17 pads of paper (all for less than $1.00).  

I love that in Christ, I HAVE all the supply I am EVER going to need!  I don't need MORE of God - I don't need MORE of anything.  He has made a FULL deposit of Himself in me!  I love His supply! 

Share your supply passion with me!  :)

Rita WRR Multi-letter Phonogram sounds only

WRR Phonograms Demonstrated by Rita

Today, our own sweet Rita Seldenrust made a video to help us sweet (meaning...tired...confused...baffeled) moms trying to implement Writing Road to Reading with our sweet (restless) children.

On this video, Rita runs through the phonogram and sounds for Writing Road to Reading.

Rita was cooperative (after we begged and pleaded...just kidding) and she is just so precious, makes you want to make a 6 inch sized one of her so that I can set her on the table and say, "ok kids, listen to Rita and practice your phonograms." Well, guess what girls.....Now you can!!! God truly is able to do more than I can ask, think or imagine!!

Rita, seriously, you are a mom and homeschooler that I admire so much! So many of us have benefited from your shepherding of our hearts and training!

Please look for MORE videos (i.e., a simple lesson; the additional phonograms and who knows what else!). Go Rita! Go Rita!

Seriously, if you are struggling with your reading/spelling program, talk to her. She will bless your socks!

Love in Jesus,
Sheri Yates :)

Thank you to Jermaine who designed the set and found the perfect lighting!
