In addition to their Modelling Wax letter J’s, the girls also worked on making the letter J using Handwriting Without Tears Hands-On Materials and Kimberlee’s Grey Block Paper.

From this Coloring Book
(While looking at the Flower Fairies Alphabet book and listening to the CD!)

~ Picture Study :: J is for Jewelry ~

Using Museum ABC, Museum ABC Nesting Blocks,
and one of the images printed onto cardstock.

~ J is for Good St. Joseph ~

for with An Alphabet of Catholic Saints

St. Joseph from Our Saints Alphabet on CD (50% off for Home Schoolers), Copywork from An Alphabet of Catholic Saints (you can print the one I made here), and a Charlotte’s lovely coloring page of St. Joseph.

We also listened listened to the Glory Story about St. Joseph and read Good Saint Joseph.
Oh, and we couldn’t let the week go by without reading about our beloved Papa in Joseph and Chico: The Life of Pope Benedict XVI as Told By a Cat!

Another beautiful coloring page from Kimberlee and Lydia!

We made a couple crafts this week based on Jelly Beans and Jewelry!

Jelly Bean Bracelets

Supplies:

Jelly Beans, Dental Floss, and a Needle (or two!)



Jewelry Box

I can’t say enough good things about this little kit! It kept my girls busy for hours and HOURS! They had so much fun putting all the jewels on the box!

(We opted for the Butterfly Jewelry Box, but there is also a Fairy Jewelry Box as well!)

~ Serendipi-Tea time ~

Lots to choose from this week…

Our menu included Juice, Jam, Jelly Beans, Jello Jigglers,
and, of course, some Java for me! 😉

    The jelly bean bracelets look like fun! Did you just use regular sewing needles?

    I love the expression of concentration on TT's face in the photo where she is drawing!!

    Erin ~ They were just regular needles. They did need to be washed every so often do to getting rather sticky, and the ones we used had a rather blunt tip. At times I did need to help the girls at least get the needle started through the jelly bean and then they could pull it the rest of the way.

    Jessica, I love your blog. I have gotten so many wonderful ideas from it. Thank you for all the hard work that goes into posting all these things. I wanted to ask about the Teacher's Helper/Alphabet of Catholic Saints CDs…which ones did you purchase? There are quite a few – I'm glad they have a HS discount.

    Thanks again and God bless you.

Prayer of Mothers

Father in heaven, grant me the grace to appreciate the dignity which you have conferred on me. Let me realize that not even the Angels have been blessed with such a privilege—to share in your creative miracle and bring new Saints to heaven. Make me a good mother to all my children after the example of Mary, the Mother of your Son. Through the intercession of Jesus and Mary I ask your continued blessings on my family. Let us all be dedicated to your service on earth and attain the eternal happiness of your kingdom in heaven. Amen.

A Little About Me

Hi! I'm Jessica, a Roman Catholic wife and home educating mother to our nine children. I was home educated myself, along with my eleven younger siblings. I have a special devotion to St. Therese, through whom I have been given much help and many blessings--the beautiful "Shower of Roses" that she has sent my way! Here I will record a few of the blessings I treasure. Please remember that what you see here is just a little glimpse at our lives, so please say a prayer for us, as we continue to strive for holiness.
