FIAR - Night of the Moonjellies

FIAR is such a wonderful literature program. We are certainly happy to have waited to do this so we can take advantage of all that the program has to offer.

We are finally rowing from country to country! Theo coloured all the story disks and we'll have them up one by one with its corresponding stories.

Here's what we did for "Night of the Moonjellies"

Homeschool journey


We will be applying for CE application this year. This would mark the beginning of a milestone for learning. We are thankful for the past years of playing, learning, growing in various lifeskills, and enjoying childhood as much as we can. The gift of being a child is priceless. Jesus loves the little children and he beckons to them. Jesus even encourages us to be like little children in order to enter his Kingdom.

Even though we will have challenges from time to time, we hope that the boys will never lose sight of being a child. Keep being child-like, sense of wonder and awe.

Education:
To Know God, love him and enjoy his love forever.
To grow up to become the man God created him to be
