Weekly Wrap-Up

It's Saturday and time for reflecting on the week. I missed last week wrap-up due to a trip taken to Ottawa last week-end. So this will be a 2 week wrap-up.

The past 2 weeks have been quite productive. We kept up with our subjects quite regularly.

In TOG we concluded our study of Ancient China, India and America. This past week we watched videos about these ancient civilizations and made a cookie dough map of Ancient China and Ancient India.

The boys did their Handwriting practice, which still need work, but I can see some improvement in the writing-hating boy my oldest is. They've also moved along in Math and English, phonics and Spelling.

Last week-end they had fun skating on the Rideau Canal in Ottawa.

This past week they've also enjoyed doing a few crafts.

Another happening of the week was our playdate with another mom and her kids (whom we have not seen since mid-December due to our moved farther away from them). We met at the Science center and had a good time of fellowship; the kids and the moms. Too busy talking to take pictures!

On my part I have been busy planning the next few weeks of Tapestry, as well as thinking and researching for next year curriculum line up. I have actually already purchased  year 2 of TOG, since there was a $5o off in January (which is said to be the best sale of the year).

Here it is for a succinct recap of our last 2 weeks of school. For more recap go over to Weird Unsocialized Homeschoolers.

The cookie dough map looks fabulous, although I think we'd eat more dough than we'd put on the map. :-) And I love the photos of the boys with the soap suds. Precious!

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...
