Feeling lazy

Today I am feeling rather lazy and tired. it may have to do with going to sleep past 11:00 o'clock on a regular basis maybe.

My mind has been running over time, cogitating on several things at the same time. I am working on the plan for the next school year, which I am planning on starting in August. I have been working on preparing a yearly lesson plan. I have divided the year (August to June in weeks  in which I am writing down what I am planning or hoping to cover for each subject (basically the chapter in whichever book we are using). I am also working on a resource book list to use for Science and Arts and Crafts. I am researching them and checking them out of the library to see what will use from it. I will be posting pictures of these once they are completed and ready to go.

We are also planning and hoping to take a trip down to Williamsburg, VA, so I have started to look into things to entertain the kids for that 12 hour drive. More to come on this in the next few weeks.

This week is DVBS at our church, so the week promises to be busy. I am on the worship team and registration team plus everything else in between (that's what you get when you are a minister's wife!). Love it, though!

So today, we are taking it easy at our house, enjoying each other and going through some pictures.

Have a great day, Joelle

Joelle,

Our family takes a 14 hour trip 2-3 times a year to see my parents so when your week is over and you are ready to think about that long trip, let me know and I will share some things we do with our kids.


I just prayed for you Joelle and your busy week and many things on your mind. May your mind stay fixed on Christ and His glory as things may get a little hectic. I prayed for a soft answer with your boys as you go through the days with much to do and on your mind, and the Lord would draw the children unto Him at your DVBS this week.


Love,

Christine

Reformation Day Giveaway

We are approaching October 31, which is an important date for all protestants. This date commemorates Martin Luther’s nailing of his ninety-five theses to a church door on October 31, 1517 in Wittenburg, Germany, which in turn provoked a debate that resulted in what we now call the Protestant Reformation. As the “Father of the Reformation”, Martin Luther is a vital figure in Church History. His sacrifice and willingness to wage battle against the spiritual, religious, and political powers of his medieval world allowed Christians throughout time to embrace the following truths: salvation by grace alone , through faith alone,  and in Christ alone, along with the supremacy of Scripture, referred to as  Scripture alone, and all of it for God's Glory Alone. These being commonly called the Five Solas of the Reformation.  Danika Cooley, author and creator of the Bible curriculum Bible Road Trip ,  has recently written a book for young people recounting Luther's sto...

Our Current Homeschool Routine - Virtual Homeschool Fair - Week 2

For week 2 of the Virtual Homeschool Fair, which is hosted by Homeschooling Hearts and Minds , we are talking method of homeschooling. When it comes to the how of homeschooling, and the method that we all follow, with the 20 plus blogger participating I can guarantee you, no method will be the same. Homeschooling is a lifestyle and a path unto a goal or toward a direction that each family sets for itself. For us, this encompasses academic rigor, as well as Christian values and depth of understanding of how to live in this world as Christians. To that end, earlier on we had settled on a classical education. 10 years into it, I cannot say we have been very good classical homeshooler. We did not follow the method and philosophy to a T but instead adapted it to our family's routine and rhythm. We became more relaxed classical homeschooler. I had good intentions with the Latin and Greek, but not enough discipline and it did not appeal to the boys; my oldest son did two years, the...

When Lightning Struck - A Book review

Are you studying the Reformation? Do you love Historical Fictions? Do you love reading about the heros of the faith? Then read on... As a homeschooler I always encourage my fellow homeschoolers to include Historical fictions in their study of History as it helps students really enter the time period that they are studying and get a better picture of how people lived and what they felt. I recently had the privilege of reading a historical fiction titled When Lightning Struck: The Story of Martin Luther . If you have never heard of Martin Luther or read anything about him, you are missing out and here is your chance to learn who he was and what he did in an enjoyable way. When Lightning Struck is written for Middle and High schooler, but I could not put it down. If you love reading you will devourer this book. It would also work really well as a read-aloud for upper-elementary kids. It contains 23 chapters of average length that will keep you wanting to know more. When Lightni...
