Weekly-wrap-up


It' wrap-up time. I do not have  much to report this week.

Johann's birthday went well on Monday.















That was Zach after a strike:



You can see more pics from the birthday boy here:

The rest of the week we tried to cover most subjects, Math, English, Handwriting, Science, Geography, even spelling, Thanks to Big Iq Kids. Nothing earth chatteiring. We started studying substraction with regrouping and that was a bit of a challenge. Hope fully it will get there.



Our electives with our honeschool gtoup started this week as well, and I had to teach French.

The boys have been playing nicely together, which is nice. Zach's violin is going well as well and he is moving on into his Suzuki pieces at a reasonable speed and improving his technique nicely. He starting to understand the need for repeated practice of certain part of the piece.

Otherwise it has been a quiet week although I still feel drained, I am not sure why. I think I am a bit frustrated at Zach's train's obsession and my lack of discipline.

I really need to get more control of the day and need to find a better routine, the current one does not seem to allow me to do everything I would want to do.

Anyway, enough ranting and onto an attitude of thankfulness for the Lord's numerous blessings.

Before I forget, I did make that ziggurat cake and here it:

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
