Weekly Wrap-up



It's time for another weekly wrap up.

We've been busy here. Yesterday was our last week of electives. My French class read out loud John 3:16 in French, and did pretty good. The boys got their certificates.





In school we did not do much this week. We are still trying o finish up FLL. It will definitely take us until the last day before we go off to Martinique to finish it. For Math we are taking it easy as well; moving on with Professor B and doing some practice sheets (which I got from Practical Pages), to add variety.



I have decided to stop spelling until we start back in August. We finished our geography but still have a few stories in our BJU readers to finish.

As for Joho he has been doing some handwriting and reading from I Wonder (CLE 1st grade readers).



The boys have been busy doing science and crafts.

Building a wooden tank



Exploring the solar system with the help of Aha Science



Catching and watching caterpillars



Making a mail man bag:


As for me I have been busy twinkling my blog, as you can see, due to homeschoolblogger's upgrade to wordpress. I have been experimenting with themes and enjoying playing around with the widget (sometime with frustration). hang there with me as I get use to this new platform.

I like the new blog look...looks like some fun activities your boys are doing. Did they get to keep the catepillers? We also use CLE and I like it a lot. Especially that God is in the stories and reinforces things we teach them. My kids love phonics now. Mailbag looks fun...

Oh yes, they kept them. They have cocooned now, we are hopping they will turn into butterflies. The fact that God is in the stories is what I liked about the BJU readers as well. It is really good because the genera of the stories varies between plays, biographies, fictions, retold Bible stories. I actually liked it better than the CLE, but these are good too.

Ah, I have noticed that all my homeschoolblogger friends blogs look different; that explains why!

Sounds like you had a good week!

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...

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.

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.
