Weekly or Monthly Wrap-Up

Yes, I think it has been a month since my last wrap-up. What have we all been up to?



School:
  • We are almost done with FLL. 
  • We've been practicing multiplications with 3 digits, adding, subtracting, multiplying fractions, area, perimeter, and some words problems from Teachers 1800. 
  • We've been also working our way through Christian Kids Explore Chemistry. 
  • We are still trodding through Elemental Science Biology, we are nearing the end of the animal study started last year. 
  • We've completed Music of the Hemispphere from Michael Clay Thompson's curriculum. It was lots of fun and lots of learning in that one.
  • We are nearing the end of Practice Island from MCT as well.
  • We finished unit 3 of TOG, and started unit 4. Our Tapestry weeks lately, are mainly made up of readings.
  • We've just completed 7 weeks of Electives

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.

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.

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.
