Weekly Wrap-Up



It is Friday and time to remember what we did this week.

We did do school:

  • Math on Time 4 Learning, this is giving them lots of review and practice. The subscription is for 1 month so, after that we will resume to our regular schedule.

  • Language Arts got covered through First Language Lessons, Writing with Ease and Grammar Island and some handwriting practice as well. So far so good on all front.

  • We only did one chapter in science this week; reason: starting school late!

  • French

  • Music appreciation

  • History. We had a little drama this week as Zach was not impressed at the life of the medieval monks and felt very bad for them which turns into big tears and and "I don't get the point!" comment. He even when as far as wanting to live like a monk for a day to try to understand what the point was. One night as he was finally falling asleep, at 12:00 am, he was going to set an alarm to wake himself up at 3:00 am. I had to remind him that they went to bed at 6:30 pm in order to wake up that early.


We had a great trip to the zoo yesterday. Joho has been wanted to go see the Penguins that came in in the spring and we were all glad to see them.

 





the beaver tail of course



School was shortened today as Joho showed some rashes on his hands and feet and a bit on his thighs,which led us to the pedia. I thougfht it was his exzema returning but it turned out to be Hand and Foot disease. The doctor said it should go away by itself.

The boys are still into battle (roman and greek) so decided to make themselves helmets. They did it themselves and it did not turned out quite the way they wanted. Do I need to mention I Hate papier mache.

We went to the zoo yesterday :) Ours is fairly small, not much to it at all. But it was a great time by all. I'm not trying to rhyme, I promise!
Stopping by from your FB feed but also the Weekly Wrap-Up (I just haven't got mine up yet!)
Have a great weekend!

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...

Happy New Year to all! After a two year hiatus, I am resurrecting this blog.

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...
