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!

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...

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. Science - Advanced Chemistry Electives:  Health - Zach - Alpha & Omega (1st semester), Speech - 7 Sisters Homeschool (2nd semester.) Violin - Zach Piano - Johann French: Duolingo, Breaking the Barrier...

Homeschooling - A Glimpse into How We Do it

2016 was a pretty skimpy blogging year for me. Ask me why, I am not sure I have an answer for you beside life happening and writing inspiration fading. With a new year upon us I will try to get back on the blogging scene and what best topic to start the year with than giving you a glimpse into what homeschooling looks like in our home with now two teenagers. In the past 4 years I have enjoyed participating in the Virtual Curriculum Fair hosted by Homechooling Hearts and Minds , so I am happy to start my year participating once more. For those who are not familiar with the Virtual Curiculum Fair, it is a month long series of posts, where over 20 homeschoolers share about their homeschool curriculum and how they homeschool. The weeks will go as follow: Week 1: See How We Learn/Welcome to the VCF Week 2: Playing with Words Week 3: Discovering Patterns Week 4: Exploring Our World Week 5: Seeking Beauty So how do we learn here? this is the topic of this ...
