Okay, well not to our house specifically, but he came to visit the US. I decided that was something worth celebrating. Inspiration struck in the middle of the night which resulted in paint and a giant poster. Even though a road trip to Philadelphia wasn't on our schedule, we were still able to welcome him into our home. I came up with a few fun ideas for the week so that we could welcome a guest, learn about him and his culture, and have some fun in the process. This is one of those weeks that homeschooling allowed us to shift gears completely and learn something we hadn't planned.
The kids woke up to this fun surprise in the morning.
We cleaned the house and made decorations for our visitor.
We spent time working on learning all about Pope Francis. We studied his career leading up to the papcy. Here is Kateri showing off her artwork of his Pectoral Cross that he carries.
Sebastian enjoyed working on his project. He was learning all about the the outfit the Pope wears. He was surprised how many pieces of clothes he had to wear!
Getting to research on the internet is always fun.
I found a great resource on TeacherPayTeachers.com for the kids to learn about the Pope.
We made the most of our week by celebrating Mass and praying for the Holy Father intentions. We also made a feast of some favorite foods from Argentina.
