weekly wrap-up


It's Friday and time for a weekly wrap-up again. Today is also our last school day for this segment of our yearly schedule. As some of you might know, we homeschool year round, and break up for a week every 4 - 6 weeks. It's been 5 weeks since we started back after New Year and we are all ready for a break.

Our break will be a good time to work on our project for our homeschool group project fair coming up in March.

So, looking back now, what did we do this week?,

Monday we had a nice family day. With daddy back at work I guess we will have to go back to taking Mondays off school, as Monday is Daddy's day off (he is a pastor). We went skating, or should I say, we took the kids skating.

Tuesday was a good school day, that is, we had minimal resistance and accomplished our work. We even got to bake and eat cookies.

The rest of the week was pretty straight forward with our subjects being covered and the normal amount of student cooperation.

Wednesday I took them out for a few minutes to enjoy the minimal amount of snow that had fallen the night before. Neither of the kids or myself are very happy with this winter since we are hardly getting any snow. Winter used to be Zach's favorite season but it seems that he is rethinking that these days. What's the deal with cold without snow???

Thursday we had a nice trip to the library and returned with, let me go and count, 26 books; that's on top of the 20 odd books already in the house. My boys loves books, especially is they are about trucks, trains, police, emergency, search and rescue, they devour them.

And for the pictures:

This week I also started thinking about our curriculum for next year and am pondering on the science one. Any suggestion is welcome.

Voila, that was our week in a few words and pictures. How was your week? For more weekly wrap-up go check Weird Unsocialized Homeschoolers.

Have a great day,

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...

2019-2020 Curriculum Line Up- Grade 11 and Grade 9

Happy New Year to all! After a two year hiatus, I am resurrecting this blog. Life has been such that keeping up with this blog had become a really low priority, but I kind of miss it, so here I am giving it a try again. First I realized I never posted about my kids' curriculum line up for this school year. So, though late, here it is. This year I am homeschooling two high-schoolers. Time has gone so fast. With a 14 year old (9th grade) and a 16 year old (11th grade) I really feel like time is sleeping away; but that is the reality of life. We are but a vapor... So here we are: Humanities: Tapestry of Grace Year 2 - Middle Ages:   History, Literature, Writing, Church History, (hoping: Philosophy) Math: Alpha and Omega  Chemistry: Mr.Q.
