Weekly Wrap-up



It's time for me to let you know what's been happening here. Once again I went silent. I find it very hard to keep blogging and do everything that needs to be done in school, house, church responsibilities and most important (or not), reading everybody else's blogs. So that is why I do not post very often anymore.

This is a good reason to subscribe to the google connect in the sidebar as you will know when I do add a post. (Just a bit of self-promoting here).

On to what we have been doing:

School: We are troding along, trying to finish up our First Language Lessons, continue on in our Professor B (no intention to finish it since we just started it a couple of months ago after finishing Singapore 1B).
We are also pushing on with the Classic science, Handwriting and some spelling.
My goal really is to finish FFL by the 3rd week of June as we will be going on vacation to Martinique, which means off school till we start again in August (We kind of school year round with the month of July off). All the other subjects will be done till then in a very light fashion.

Electives has been going on as well with next week being our last week.

I have enjoyed listening to some of the sessions from The Schoolhouse Expo and was very encouraged. I can't wait to download the MP3 once available at the end of the month.

The rest is in pictures:

Crafts

Reading

Outside schooling and eating

Science experiments:




Supposedly math on the board

Next week Monday we are looking forward to a playdate at the Toronto Zoo. Hourray!

What a fun week! It is hard to find enough time to blog. It's definitely a better choice to use your time doing instead of blogging!

It looks like a fun week. And I'm all about shameless self promotion on my blog :)

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...
