Weekly Wrap-up



We had a relatively good week this week. Again the basics were covered but somehow mom slacked on History and Science. I will try to cover these tomorrow, if the wind does not blow in a different direction (there is no Violin group tomorrow since it is Thanksgiving week-end here).

We had our week 2 at elective today, and that went well. I have been a bit nervous teaching the Grade 1-3 science group, but so far so good. I am certainly learning quite a bit myself . . . This week was on muscles and I made a model arm which was cool. I'll post how I made it on another post.

We had a nice playdate on Thursday. It had been a while. The kids really enjoyed that and had a great time. And mommy had a nice relaxing time and fellowship as well.

I am actually quite thankful that things have been going rather smoothly lately. I know it is a real blessing! Zach has been mostly cooperating in Math and in his violin practice (which are thing he tends to complain about), and it has been a great encouragement. I am learning to really tailor what needs to be done to how much he can handle. That is a real skill!

Even Joho has been doing reading and Handwriting with his dad, and it has been great! I have been able to sneak in some Math from time to time.


Here is Zach entitling his narration story without me asking him to do it (I was rather impressed by his initiative; keep in mind he does not like to write.)

It sounds like a great week, even with the slow science :) I have weeks like that too :)


I'll be back for the model arm, that sounds intriguing and I could probably use it in my General Science class!

We're behind in science too. Maybe we'll tackle that this evening. LOL

Oh, I love the tree house pictures. What a fun place to play and rest. The kids look like they worked hard, even if you didn't get to everything. Hope y'all have a blessed weekend.

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 story:   When

We received a full year subscription to Visual Learning Systems 's Digital Online Science Program Elementary edition and S econdary edition .
