Weekly Wrap-Up

It is Friday already, where did the week go?  Well let's see. . .

This week was our 4th week since we started school. I am happy to say that we are still on track in Math, English, Reading and spelling.  We started studying verbs in Zach's favorite curriculum First Language Lesson and he is really excited. He even likes doing the copywork part which is surprising since he really does not like to do any writing in general.

This week we did not get to do any science or history, and here is why:

Monday I had to go and check some furniture at a friend's house.

Tuesday I took the kids to  water play center.

Wednesday we had guests for lunch.

Thursday we had a playdate afternoon.

Friday I had to go to the hairdresser.

I did get to squeeze in his violin practice everyday, and I am very happy about that.

This week's school time was particularly difficult because of Joho's resistance to any established routine these days. Anything you suggest him to do, he is not interrested. It has been a bit difficult to entertain him recently. Once again I am so thankful for my hubby beeing home and dealing with that while I try to get through school with Zach.

One of the cutest moment of this week was when Zach asked me, at bedtime, in his naive and sweet voice and tone: "Are we going to have a baby sister soon?" I thought that was too cute!

Another one was when he drew this picture for me, untitled Sun.

And here is a picture to share of Johann doing a handwriting assignment. He thought it would be a smart idea to trace around his magnetic O instead of freely tracing it.

Isn't it funny how the right curriculum can just make things click for kids. We really enjoyed FLL and all three of my kids love grammar, which is kind of unusual. I hope your ds continues to enjoy it...including the copywork.

Thanks for sharing your week! I think the thing about kids is they continue learning whether or not you have actually scheduled a "lesson"! Glad to hear that he is keeping up with violin.

We had a crazy week here too. By some miracle, we actually managed to get all of our work down though.

Writing & Rhetoric - A Writing Curriculum Review and a Giveaway

Curriculum choosing and buying can be a very daunting task. So many subjects to cover, so many curriculum to browse though, and so many companies to consider. Today I would like to share with you a product and a company that I have come to hold in high regards. When it comes to teaching writing to the boys I was not sure which way to go, as I would not exactly consider myself a great writer. Then came along Writing and Rhetoric from Classical Academic Press. I heard about it when the second book in a series of twelve just released, and I was immediately intrigued. You see I homeschool classically, and writing is an integral part of it. Classical Academic Press puts out products geared towards classical homeschooling, so there you had  the first common ground. I was searching for something that would teach them what writing was, and guide them through the process incrementally, without bombarding them with pages and pages of writing right from the start. I found what...
