Our Classroom
When we first started homeschooling, we were at the dining room table. After 3 years we decided to move class to the living room because it was bigger and it cut down on having to clear and reload the table for and after meals. It is great to have so much space and it really gives us a separation of school life and home life as the children do not use the living room in the evenings. So far, the only down side is the fact that we cannot hang things on the living room walls like we did in the dining room. All of our posters, time lines and bulletin boards are hung up in the dining room still and I miss having my chalk board hung on the wall. I do have a nice easel that I use... so that helps. In the 2nd picture, you will see our new locker were the kiddos keep their laptops, folders and most prized school supplies. (Smile!) ( oh, but don't pay attention to the fact that whoever had the chore of sweeping the wood floors that day did not go anywhere near the locker! LOL) The kids really like their new locker and so do I. Anyhoo...Welcome! Take a look around.

"Matthew" by Jeffrey
9th grade had to write a short paragraph on the disciple Matthew. The question was: Write a short paragraph about Matthew’s life before and after he met Jesus.
“Hello my name is Matthew; I was born in Galilee. Alphaeus is my father. Some people call me “the Levi” but then Jesus changed my name to Matthew. Matthew means “the gift of Yahweh”. I started off to be a tax collector. I had some problems. I took money from my own people and was very greedy. I was not an honest man when it came to money. I was already making enough money for me and my family, but I still charged people extra for their taxes and kept the money for myself. Then one day, a man I did not know told me to become his disciple. He looked me in the eye and told me to follow Him. So I stopped what I was doing and followed Him to be a disciple. Some people think that I was the author of a gospel called Matthew. I first did my writings in Greek and wrote mostly to the Jews. The last thing I did was to preach for 30 more years after Christ died.”
