Weekly Wrap-up


This week was a break week for us. I designed the school year with a few breaks every 4-6 weeks of school. This is our second one since we started school in August. So, what did we do?

Well, Monday was Thanksgiving here in Canada, so we had some guests over and enjoyed a nice dinner.

Tuesday and Wednesday, we went to the Science Center and enjoyed The Body World Exhibit, a nature walk and of course the Kids' park section.

We had a library trip and played games.

Thursday, we stayed home and the kids had a lazy day doing whatever they wanted, as mom was busy getting ready for electives today.

Friday was our regular co-op day which went well.

That's our week in a snapshot, noting fancy, nothing extraordinary, rather lazy and laid back.

Don't forget to hop over at Weird Unscocialized Homeschoolers for more Weekly Wrap-ups.
Hope you all had a great week!

Happy (belated) Thanksgiving! Sounds like you had a nice week off. I've been toying with the idea of doing six weeks on/one week off, lately, too...especially after this week.

I almost think the laid back family fun weeks are the ones the kids remember the most. Happy late Thanksgiving to you. Thanks for sharing!

I love those lazy laid back weeks, they are so needed. We are planning more of them this year to break things up.

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...

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...

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...
