Trucking Along

I have to say, we are LOVING our Hearts of Dakota Creation to Christ studies!  I don't feel as if I am dragging the kids along.  I am not falling asleep while reading to the children, which, by the way, makes it hard to tell them they have to pay attention!  And I feel as if each week we come away with some thing.  We create some kind of tangible item that shows what we learned. 

Memorizing poetry:  Kids hated it.  I forced them.  They refused.  I yelled.  They still did not memorize.  I WILL hear Robert Frost's Road Not Taken from two unnamed children!
