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.

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...
