Mathletics. Aaron completed level. I let the two go that were in the 90's because he will get it and I think they over lap some as you go up. I noted that all he did originally on level 1 was still there so he is half way through it already... he was excited about that. I am gonna try no tasks and let him have total freedom. Josh figured out with decimals that it goes backward in naming.

Bible Study

Little Self Control lesson today with younger two... this is an old issue I have been trying to break. Talking and sounds... So if you read NO TALKING by Andrew Clements you will understand. With my points system. So I guess I am working on the fruits of the spirit with them
I have tried telling them there is a time and place to talk and make sounds... and a time to be quiet. I really think that today makes these children make noise from the throat at all times. If they dont have TV or video games there has to be sound. I have said to them... If Native Americans made noise they would not have had dinner. If you talk that means you think and you cant hear God. If you talk you can't sleep. My two youngest lately have gotten to the point of being disrespectful in the AM and waking Josh up. Josh seems to understand no noise. That doesn't mean I dont allow them to talk... but self control is good - for everyone. It was lasted about an hour... I wasn't making any competition out of it or anything... but Matthew got the point even Picked up the Bible and looked at it for about 10 minutes.

Matt helped to make lunch. Pasta
