Weekly wrap-up

Another week has passed by. I have to say it was a good week because we had sun through out. That does not mean we took advantage of it much, but hey, having sun beaming in the house is really nice.

We did have a playdate on Tuesday, which meant time outside, which the kids really enjoyed.

Academically we covered our subjects, spelling, geography, Science, Reading, English. Our Singapore Math is done and I am contemplating getting Profesor B Math in the very near future. I will still continue with Singapore Math 2 but add Professor B to it.

We also made cookies and cake this week as well as some crafts.

The highlight of the week was Zach listening to Huckeberry Finn on audio book, following along in the book, 5 times in the week. Last night, he decided to start on Tom Sawyer (we had bought it for him, with his agreement, on Monday). What 6 year old  reads the unabridged version of Tom Sawyer?

I am short this week as I am feeling really tired exploring curriculum.
How was your week? For more Weekly wrap-up go over to Weird Unsocialized Homeschoolers.

I also wanted to thank those of you who have joined the google connect. I enjoyed checked your blogs and getting to know you.

Have a great day,

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 story:   When
