Emma - 4th Grade


Emma Kate is my 8 yr. old "right hand man!" I could not do things as efficiently without her. She is such a blessing. She is starting the 4th grade and has much more responsibility on her shoulders this year. She is working more independently now in her studies. Her curriculum consists of daily math, grammar, Bible, spelling, reading, history, science, and handwriting. She also takes horseback riding lessons on Tuesdays. We are looking into piano lessons and a cottage school Spanish class for her starting in September. Emma has a full plate! She really enjoys art, so she will participate with Evan in his art course on Thursdays. Their first project is homemade playdough.


Emma helps with all her little brothers. She is a fish in the water and a whiz at the computer. She is very interested in the domestic arts, with cooking, cleaning and decorating among her favorite things to do and learn. She is very social. She loves her friends and loves being with them at church. Emma has a tender conscience and confesses disobedience fairly easily, sometimes before I know an offense was committed. Emma is a special gift from God!
