Weekly Wrap-up


This week was a break week for us. I designed the school year with a few breaks every 4-6 weeks of school. This is our second one since we started school in August. So, what did we do?

Well, Monday was Thanksgiving here in Canada, so we had some guests over and enjoyed a nice dinner.

Tuesday and Wednesday, we went to the Science Center and enjoyed The Body World Exhibit, a nature walk and of course the Kids' park section.

We had a library trip and played games.

Thursday, we stayed home and the kids had a lazy day doing whatever they wanted, as mom was busy getting ready for electives today.

Friday was our regular co-op day which went well.

That's our week in a snapshot, noting fancy, nothing extraordinary, rather lazy and laid back.

Don't forget to hop over at Weird Unscocialized Homeschoolers for more Weekly Wrap-ups.
Hope you all had a great week!

Happy (belated) Thanksgiving! Sounds like you had a nice week off. I've been toying with the idea of doing six weeks on/one week off, lately, too...especially after this week.

I almost think the laid back family fun weeks are the ones the kids remember the most. Happy late Thanksgiving to you. Thanks for sharing!

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
