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.

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...
